Everything
has pillars in Islam
Without
the pillars, the foundation will not stand strong
Pillar
is that which a structure stands upon
Islam
has 5 pillars
Imaan
has 6 pillars
Tawbah
has 5 pillars
Qadr has
4 pillars
Tauheed
has 4 pillars
Tauheed
was the message of all Prophets and Messengers because of that, Allah said:
And
verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger
(proclaiming) : "Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from)
Taghut[] (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides
Allah)." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some
upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what
was the end of those who denied (the truth). (An-Nahl 16:36)
The
Prophet (saw) said:
On the
authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (RA), that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I
have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that there is
none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah, and until they establish the salah and pay the zakat. And if they do
that then they will have gained protection from me for their lives and
property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable] in Islam, and their
reckoning will be with Allah.” [al-Bukhari (25) and Muslim (22)]
This is
the evidence that Tauheed was the message of every Prophet and Messenger
Because
of this, Allah (swt) said:
And
fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for
Allah Alone [in the whole of the world[]]. But if they cease (worshipping
others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
(Al-Anfal 8:39)
What
Allah (swt) is saying here is fight them until there is no more shirk
Fitna in
the above ayah means shirk
WHAT ARE
THE 4 BRANCHES OF TAWHEED?
1.
TAWHEED AR RUBUBIYYAH
This
means Allah (swt) is the only Lord and Creator
2.
TAWHEED ASMAA WA SAFAAT
This
means to believe in Allah's 99 Names and Attributes
3.
TAWHEED IBADA (ULUHIYYAH)
This
means to worship Allah (swt) alone without associating partners
To
single Allah out for worship
4.
TAWHEED HAKIMIYYAH
To
believe that Allah (swt) is the only Law Giver
The Only
Legislator
A lot of
people want to marginalize tawheed into only 3 categories only
These are
done for political motives only
TAWHEED
AR RUBUBIYYAH
This
branch of tawheed means that Allah (swt) is The Only Creator
Even the
pagans of Makkah acknowledged this branch of tawheed.
Allah
(swt) said about this branch of tawheed:
And if
you (O Muhammad SAW) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the
earth," they will certainly say: "Allāh." Say: "All the
praises and thanks be to Allāh!" But most of them know not. (Luqman 31:25)
The
Pharaoh of Egypt was famous for denying The Lord and Creator
But he
acknowledged Him in his heart
And they
belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were
convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the
Messenger of Allah in truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated
to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the
Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers, liars.). (An-Naml
27:14)
There is
no real atheist in the world, they only pretend
So set you
(O Muhammad SAW) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism
Hanifa (worship none but Allah Alone) Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic
Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalqillah
(i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic Monotheism), that is the straight religion,
but most of men know not. [Tafsir AtTabari, Vol 21, Page 41] (Ar-Rum 30:30)
Tawheed
ar Rububiyyah makes it clear that
The
greatest scientist can't even create a house fly
They are
able to make test tube babies
But they
can't create the sperm or the egg of the women in the test tube baby.
Only
Allah (swt) can.
O
mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully) : Verily!
Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though
they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing
from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are
(both) the seeker and the sought. (Al-Hajj 22:73)
Those
false deities who you call upon besides Allah, can’t create a house fly
If the
fly should take something from you (e.g morsel of food)
You
can’t even get it back
The
universe is controlled by Allah (swt)
Allah
alone subdues the Universe
The
evidence is 13:2
Allah is
He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then, He Istawa
(rose above) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He has
subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round)! Each running (its
course) for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs, explaining the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, that
you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord. (Ra'd 13:2)
Tawheed
ar Rububiyyah also means that Allah is the single source of causality
Allah
(swt) causes things to happen
We don't
believe in omens
Like No
13 can cause bad things to happen
Omen is
shirk as mentioned in the hadith below
Because
only Allah (swt) can cause things to happen and nothing else can
Abdullah
ibn Mas’ood (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Tiyarah (belief
in evil omens) is shirk..." [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/160) No. 1614, Sunan Abu
Dawud (4/17) No. 3910, Musnad Ahmad (1/440) No. 4194, Sunan Ibn Majah (4/560)
No. 3538]
WHO WENT
ASTRAY IN REGARDS TO TAWHEED AR RUBUBIYYAH
Many
people went astray
1. THE
CHRISTIANS
Because
they say Allah (swt) said ‘let US make man’
Us means
to them Jesus (as) and Allah (swt)
They say
Jesus took part with Allah in the creation of man
This is
the creed of Christians
Allah
(swt) is The Only Creator
So for
them to say Jesus is partner with Allah means they are astray
And
(remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place
(mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will
You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while
we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they
associate with You as partners) and sanctify You." He (Allah) said:
"I know that which you do not know." (Al-Baqarah 2:30)
2. THE
MU’TAZILA
They are
called the rationalist
They
believe man creates their own actions
Allah
(swt) said in the following Ayah that He is the one who creates your actions
"While
Allāh has created you and what you make!" (As-Saffat 37:96)
3. THE
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN OMENS
Because
they believe omens can affect the outcome of events
E.g. If
you believe that there might be disaster if you travel on the 13th
That the
plane might crash or you will have an accident
They
believe 13 is an unlucky number
Allah
(swt) has predestined what will occur 50,000 years
Before
He created the heavens and earths
Abdullah
ibn Amr (RA) reported having heard from Allah’s Messenger (SAW) who said,
“Allah decreed the destinies before He created the heavens and earth by fifty
thousand years.” [Tirmidhi 2163, Ahmed 6590, Muslim 2653]
4. THOSE
WHO ARE MAGICIANS
They
want you to believe that they can create
This
means they want you to believe they subdue the Universe
They
claim they have the power to turn a handkerchief into a rabbit, a pen or a worm
The
magicians of the Pharaoh said they could turn sticks into snakes
Because
of this, magic is shirk
The
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:
Jundub
(RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The hadd (prescribed
punishment) for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e.,
execution)" [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/60) No. 1460, Sunan al-Daraqutni
(4/120) No. 3204, Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/401) No. 8073, al-Sunan al-Kabir
al-Bayhaqi (8/234) No. 16500, al-Mu'jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (2/161) No. 1665]
A
magician is killed as a kaafir not as a faasiq
Because
of 2:102
….
Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching
men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut
and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till
they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this
magic from us)."… (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
The two
angels did not teach any magic until
They
said to them that they are only testing them and that magic was kufr.
Every
Islamic scholar use this Ayah to make takfir on the practitioners of black
magic
5. THE
SHIA
They
went astray because they say their Imams are infallible
And
their Imams control the Universe
Even to
the extent of the atoms of the Universe
Shia
Hujjah:
The
spiritual status of the imam is the universal divine vice-gerency that is
sometimes mentioned by the imams (peace be upon them). It is a vice-gerency
pertaining to the whole of creation, by virtue of which all the atoms in the
universe humble themselves before the holder of authority (imams). It is one of
the essential beliefs of our Shia school that no one can attain the spiritual
status of the imams, not even the cherubim or the prophets. Imam Khomeini,
Islam and Revolution: Writings and Declarations of Imam Khomeini, (Berkeley:
Mizaan Press, 1981)
Shias
believe their imams’ status is above the Prophets (as)
Many of
you want us to unite with the shia
Even
though they have gone astray
5. THE
NATION OF ISLAM (NOI)
They say
a mad scientist called Yaqub created the Whiteman in a science lab
They
believe man can create man
Yakub
The Mad Scientist - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_%28Nation_of_Islam%29
They
believe the white man was created in the science lab; that is racism
The
Prophet (saw) said the racist is like the dung beetle
Abu
Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Indeed Allah has removed
from you the blind loyalties of jahiliyyah and the pride for ancestry. Either
be a pious believer or a miserable sinner. (All of) you are children of Adam,
and Adam is from dust. Let some men cease to take pride in others, who are
nothing but burning coal for the HellFire, it will be easier for Allah to
handle them than a dung beetle driving his nose into filth.” [Sunan Abu Dawud
(4/331) No. 5116, Musnad Ahmad (2/361) No. 8721]
TAWHEED
ASMA WA SIFAAT
This
means to believe in Allah's 99 names and Attributes
And to
abstain from describing Allah with other names and attributes
The
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:
Abu Huraira
narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e.,
one hundred minus one, and whoever 'ahsaha' (enumerates them, believes in them,
ponders their meanings, worships Allah by them and supplicates with them, and
acts by them according to one's belief in them) will enter Paradise.”
[al-Bukhari (7392) and Muslim (2677)]
Therefore,
we believe in Allah's 99 Names and Attributes without 7 flaws:
1.
TASHBIH
Tashbih
means to make Allah (swt) similar to His creation
To give
Allah a co-equal
Allah
has no co-equal
To say
Allah sees and hears exactly like us is tashbih
so Allah
said:
There is
nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ash-Shura
42:11)
And
Allah also said:
"And
there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Al-Ikhlas 112:4)
Because
Allah has no co-equal, Allah sees and hears but not like us
2.
TAKYEEF
Takyeef
is to specify how Allah (swt) sees and hears
We
believe in Allah’s names and Attributes without takyeef
Takyeef
is to specify how Allah descends every night
How He
Talks, Sees, Hears etc
3.
TAJSEEM
Tajseem
is to believe Allah (swt) has a body like a human body
4.
TA’TEEL
We
believe in Allah's names without ta'teel
ta'teel
is to reject Allah's 99 names and attributes
The
Mu’tazilites are guilty of this
They
believe in one name only, Allah
But they
don't believe in the 99 names
Because
they say Ar Rahman, Ar Rahem, al Malik, al Qudus etc are Gods besides Allah
(swt)
They
believe for them to believe in all of those names is shirk
They
practice ta'teel
5.
TAFWEED
We
believe in Allah's names without tafweed
Tafweed
is agnosticism
They
claim they don't know what Allah's names and Attributes mean
They say
Allahu Alam for everything
They are
lying because everyone know kareem is kind
And kind
is the opposite of someone who doesn’t give
Ibn
Taymiyyah (rh) debated them and asked them
If they
believe Allah's names and attributes are beautiful names
They
said Yes.
Ibn Taymiyyah
asked how can they arrive at that conclusion
If they
do not know the meanings of the names
They
were checkmated
6.
TA'WEEL
That is
to give Allah's names a false interpretation
An
example of ta'weel:
(Allah)
said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one
whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to
Adam) or are you one of the highly exalted?" (Sad 38:75)
Allah
(swt) said He has two Hands and created Adam (as) with both Hands
Those
who practice ta’weel say Hands means Power
Allah
(swt) spoke about such people in the following Ayah
And when
you (Muhammad SAW) see those who engage in a false conversation about Our Verses
(of the Qur'an) by mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to
another topic. And if Shaitan (Satan) causes you to forget, then after the
remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the Zalimun
(polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.). (Al-An'am 6:68)
A second
example of ta'weel is the saying of Prophet (saw) said that
Allah
(swt) descends to the first heaven at the last third of every night
A person
who practices ta'weel says Allah doesn't descend,
But an
Angel descends on behalf of Allah
The
Authority Of Abu Hurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said :
"Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's
sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says: Who is saying
a prayer to Me that I may answer it? Who is asking something of Me that I may
give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?"
[Reporters. It was related by al-Bukhari 1145 (also by Muslim 758, Malik 619,
at-Tirmidhi 3498 and Abu Dawud 1315)]
They say
Allah will never leave His Arsh
They
think if Allah descends from His Arsh, the Arsh will be on top of Him
Their
problem is they compare Allah to a man
They
reject Allah has two Hands, because they think Allah's Hands looks like man’s
Hands
The
clock on the wall has two hands
Why
can't Allah have two Hands?
The
hands on the clock doesn’t resemble your hands
Mujahid
narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) said: “Allah created four things with His Hand;
1. The Throne 2. The Pen 3. Aadam and 4. The paradise of ‘Adn. He then said to
the rest of the creation ‘Kun’ [Be] and it was.” [Adh Dhahabi in ‘Mukhtasar
al-‘Uluw’ (p105), Abu al-Shaikh al-Asbahani in 'al-‘Adhuma' (5/1555), Tafsir
al-Tabari (21/239), ‘The chain is authentic according to the conditions of
Muslim.’]
Allah
(swt) created Adam (as) with His two Hands out of respect for him
The
shaitan did not take it lightly - he thought Allah gave him a raw deal
The
shaitan thought Allah preferred Adam over him
7.
TAHREEF
We
believe in Allah's names without tahreef
Tahreef
means to spell the words wrong in order to change the meaning
To
corrupt the name by spelling it wrong
And this
is a Jewish quality
These
people cannot cope with the hadith that says "Allah Laughs...’’
Abu Huraira
narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Allah laughs at two men, one of
them kills the other and they both enter Paradise!” They said: 'How can that
happen O Messenger of Allah?' He said: “One of them kills the other, so the one
who is killed goes to Paradise (a martyr) and then the man who killed embraces
Islam, goes and fights in the path of Allah and is killed as a Shaheed and goes
to Paradise” [al-Bukhari (2826) and Muslim (1890)]
The
hadith is in Bukhari but they don't care.
They
cannot believe that Allah laughs
They
also can't cope with the hadith that says "Allah became jealous...:
Al-Mughira
b. Shu'ba (RA) reported that Sa'd b. 'Ubada (RA) said: If I were to see a man
with my wife, I would have struck him with the sword, and not with the flat
part (side) of it. When Allah's Messenger (PBUH) heard of that, he said: Are
you surprised at Sa'd's jealousy of his honour? By Allah, I am more jealous of
my honour than he, and Allah is more jealous than I. Because of His jealousy
Allah has prohibited abomination, both open and secret And no person is more
jealous of his honour than Allah, and no persons, is more fond of accepting an
excuse than Allah, on account of which He has sent messengers, announcers of
glad tidings and warners; and no one is more fond of praise than Allah on
account of which Allah has promised Paradise. [Sahih Muslim, Book 9, Hadith
#3572]
They
can't cope with the notion that Allah has Two Eyes
The
below hadith is the hujjah Ahmed ibn Hanbal used to prove Allah had two Eyes
Abdullah
bin 'Umar (RA) said: One day the Messenger of Allah (SAW) mentioned Al-Masih
Dajjal (the Antichrist) in the presence of the people and said, "Verily,
Allah is not one-eyed but Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye which
looks like a swollen grape." [Al-Bukhari (7127) and Muslim (169)]
Also,
they can't cope with the verse in surah 68:42
Where
Allah says He will expose His Shin
(Remember)
the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and
they shall be called to prostrate (to Allah), but they (hypocrites) shall not
be able to do so, (Al-Qalam 68:42)
Man will
not be able to bow down because in the dunya
He used
to bow down to be seen by men
Narrated
By Abu Said: I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah will bring forth the
severest Hour, and then all the Believers, men and women, will prostrate
themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the
world for showing off and for gaining good reputation. Such people will try to
prostrate (on the Day of Judgment) but their back swill be as stiff as if it is
one bone (a single vertebra)." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 6, Book 60, Hadith
#441]
They say
you are giving Allah body parts.
But we
say who told you Allah is human?
Why
can't you believe Allah has two Eyes but they do not look like our eyes?
Or He
has two Hands but they don't look like our hands?
(Allah)
said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one
whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to
Adam) or are you one of the highly exalted?" (Sad 38:75)
Allah
said He has two Hands in the above verse
The Shia
also don't believe that Allah has two Hands or Eyes
They take
their creed from the Mu’tazillites
We don't
give Allah body parts because Allah is not human
There is
nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ash-Shura
42:11)
So in
regards to Allah's Names and Attributes
We read
them, we believe them and we leave them
We take
the same stance as the sahabah
We don't
describe them or deny them
If this
is not your stance, you are a deviant or a zindeeq
'Abdur-Rahmaan
Ibn Muhammad Ibn Habeeb Ibn Abee Habeeb on the authority of his father, on the
authority of his grandfather [who] said: I witnessed Khalid Ibn 'Abdullah
Al-Qasree - and he addressed them at Waasit - "Oh People, make sacrifice,
may Allah accept it from you. Verily I am sacrificing Al-Ja'd Ibn Dirham, for
indeed he claims that Allah did not take Ibrahim as a khaleel (close friend),
and [that] He did not speak to Moosa. Most Perfect is He and exalted is He from
what Al-Ja'd say." Then he descended and slaughtered him. I say: And the
Jahmiyyah and Mu'tazilah speak with this, and they distort the text of the
revelation regarding that, and they claim that the Lord is purified of that
(i.e. having spoken to Moses and taken Ibrahim as a khalil). [Mukhtasar
al-Uluww of adh-Dhahabi, (p.134)]
Be
careful with Allah's Names and Attributes, because you might become a zindeeq
If
something is known in the Quran, it becomes that which is known by necessity
WHERE IS
ALLAH?
There
are 4 opinions as to where Allah is
1. ALLAH
(SWT) EXIST WITHOUT A PLACE
This is
the opinion of the tabligi jama
They
believe that if you put Allah in a place, you put a limit on Allah
This is
the creed of Tabligi Jama, Berailvis, Sufi, Mu’tazillah and the ashairah
90% of
the Muslim are ashairah
The
shia, Tabligi, Berailvis are ashairah
They
don't believe Allah has two Hands
2. ALLAH
IS EVERYWHERE
The
Tabligi Jama, Berailvis, Shia... say Allah is everywhere
The
Jewish Kabaala also say Allah is everywhere
Also the
Ashairah say Allah is everywhere
This
opinion is very insulting to Allah (swt)
Because
Allah in not in the brothel, the toilet, the pigsty, the disco, casino etc
This is
insulting to Allah to say Allah is everywhere
The
people who say Allah is everywhere quote a Quranic verse
To
convince us that they are right and we are wrong
They
quote 2:115
And to
Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your
faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne).
Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing.
(Al-Baqarah 2:115)
The
above verse means the knowledge of Allah is everywhere not Allah Himself
The
verse came down when the sahabah were in the desert
And
weren't sure if they were facing the qiblah
So they
complained to the Prophet (saw)
And
Allah sent 2:115 down to comfort them
When you
don't know the causes of revelation, you are nothing but a headless chicken
Because
you don't know why Allah sent down verses of the Quran
When we
refuted them with this Ayah, they came back with another Ayah
We
refute their dodgy understanding of the Ayah not the ayah
They
came back with 50:16
And
indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And
We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge). (Qaf 50:16)
They
said because Allah is closer to you than your jugular vein
Therefore
Allah is everywhere
However,
this means Allah's protection is with us
Allah's
Rahma is with us
Allah's knowledge
is with us
It
doesn't mean Allah is with us in person
Also, we
say to them, if you say Allah is everywhere with us
You are
saying Allah is with us in the toilet
Don't
take it literally
You are
a hypocrite
Stop
taking the Quran literally when it suits you
A man is
in Birmingham and people are afraid to debate him
The
salafis ran and hid
When a
person is a munafiq, Allah will never give him
Knowledge
of the deen and a good character
That’s
why the salafis couldn't debate him
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
“Two characterstics cannot combine in a hypocrite: good character and an
understanding of religion.” [Sunan Tirmidhi (5/49) No. 2684, al-Thiqat Ibn
Hibban (8/227) No. 13149, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-Tabarani (8/75) No. 8010,
al-Madkhal ila al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (pg. 256) No. 357]
3. ALLAH
(SWT) IS IN HEAVEN
This is
the creed of the Christians
This
creed is wrong because Allah doesn't live inside of His creation
4. ALLAH
(SWT) IS ON THE ARSH ABOVE THE SEVEN HEAVENS
This is
the only correct creed with regards where Allah (swt) is
I have
10 evidences to prove Allah (swt) is above the 7 heavens
Many
people differ in this opinion saying Allah is everywhere
They say
you are trying to limit Allah
Evidence
#1
The Most
Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that
suits His Majesty). (Ta-Ha 20:5)
Evidence
#2
Do you
feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth
to sink with you, then behold it shakes (as in an earthquake)? (Al-Mulk 67:16)
Evidence
#3
Narrated
By Anas: Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The
Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your
wife." 'Aisha said, "If Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of
the Qur'an he would have concealed this Verse." Zaynab used to boast
before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, "You were given in
marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by Allah from
over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse: 'But (O
Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make
manifest, you did fear the people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with
Zaynab and Zaid bin Haritha." [Sahih Bukhari (9/125) No. 7421]
Evidence
#4
it is
narrated that the companion Mu`awiyah ibn al-Hakam, (RA) slapped his servant
girl who used to tend his sheep, and as a result went to the Prophet (SAWS) and
asked what should be done as an atonement for having slapped her. The Prophet
replied, "Bring her to me" so Mu`awiyah brought her to the Prophet.
The Prophet then asked her, "Where is Allah?" and she replied
"Above the Sky" then the Prophet asked her, "Who am I?" and
she replied, "You are Allah’s Messenger", so the Prophet said,
"Free her, for verily she is a true believer." [Sahih Muslim (1/381)
No. 537]
Evidence
#5
Anas
(RA) says, “I went into the presence of Aisha (RA) whilst someone else was
seated with her. The person asked, ‘O Mother of the believers, relate to us
regarding earthquakes (as to their cause)’ She turned her face away. I (Anas)
asked her, ‘Relate to us regarding earthquakes, O Mother of the believers!’ She
said, “O Anas, if I were to inform you thereof, you will live a sorrowful life
and you will die in this state of grief and you will be raised on the Day of
Judgment whilst this fear is in your heart.” I said, “O Mother, relate to me.”
She then said, “When a woman removes her clothes in a house other than her
husband’s (an indication towards adultery), she tears the veil between her and
Allah. When she applies perfume to please a male other than her husband, this
will be a source of fire and a blemish for her. When the people then begin to
commit adultery, consume alcohol and use musical instruments, Allah
becomes enraged above the heavens and orders the Earth to shake
them............ [Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/561) No. 8575 and Kitaab Al-Fitan
(2/619) No. 1729]
In this
hadith Aisha (ra) specify that Allah (swt) became enraged
Above
the heavens…

Abu
Haneefah (rh) said, when asked of his opinion of the one who says, ‘I do not
know whether Allah is above the heavens or on the earth.’ - “He has
disbelieved, because Allah says, “The Most Merciful rose above the Throne,” and
His Throne is above His seven heavens.’ He was then asked, ‘what if he said
that Allah is above His Throne but he does not know whether the Throne is in
the heavens or on the earth?’ He said, ‘He has disbelieved, because He has
denied that He is above the heavens, And whosoever denied that He is above the
heavens has disbelieved.” (‘Sharh Usul I'tiqaad Ahlus Sunnah’ of al-Laalikaaee
(d.414AH), ‘al-Uluww’ of adh- Dhahabee, also ‘Sharh Aqueedah at-Tahaawiyyah’ of
ibn Abee al-Izz al-Hanafee)

Ja'far
Ibn Abdullah narrated: We were with Malik Ibn Anas when a man came to him and
said: “O Abu Abdullah (Allah said) 'Ar-Rahman upon the Throne Istawa' (20:5),
how was His Istiwa? Imam Malik inclined his head and was silent until the sweat
of fever covered his brow, then he looked up and said: "Istiwa is not
unknown, the Kayf (how) is uncomprehendable, believing in it is wajib
(obligatory), and asking about it is bid'ah (innovation), and I do not think
that you are anything but an innovator." Then he ordered that the man be
expelled. [Abu-Naeem Al-Asbahani in 'Hilyatul-Awliya wa Tabaqat Al-Asfiya'

Imam Shafi'i (rh) said: This is the evidence
that Allah the Most High is above the Arsh, without specificity known to us,
and He is away from His creation. There is none comparable to His and He is the
All-Hearing the All-Seeing. [Tafseer al-Imam ash-Shafi'i (3/1063)]

Yusuf
bin Musa al-Qattan, the Shaikh of Abu Bakr al-Khallal, said: It was said to Abu
Abdullah (Ahmad bin Hanbal): "Allah is above the seventh heaven, over His
Throne, separate and distinct (ba'in) from His creation, and His Power and
Knowledge are in every place?" He said: Yes, He is over His Throne, and
nothing escapes His Knowledge. [related by Adh-Dhahabi in Mukhtasar al-Uluww
(p.189)] This al-Qattan is thiqah (trustworthy) from the Shaikhs of al-Bukhari.
He died in 253H, al-Khallal heard from him, and the isnaad is sahih.

So,
when you ask Allah (for something), ask for Al-firdaus which is the best and
highest part of Paradise." (i.e. The sub-narrator added, "I think the
Prophet also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne of Beneficent
(i.e. Allah), and from it originate the rivers of Paradise.") [Sahih
Bukhari (4/16) No. 2790]
WHO WENT
ASTRAY WITH REGARDS TO TAWHEED ASMA WA SIFAAT
1. THE
JEWS
Because
they describe Allah (swt) with names that He did not describe Himself with
They say
Allah is poor and they are rich
Indeed,
Allah has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allah is
poor and we are rich!" We shall record what they have said and their
killing of the Prophets unjustly, and We shall say: "Taste you the torment
of the burning (Fire)." (Aali Imran 3:181)
Allah
(swt) sent the verse down when Abu Bakr As-Saddiq (ra) punched a Jew
For
claiming that Allah (swt) is poor and they are rich
Abū
Bakr became angry and punched the face of Finḥāṣ with a mighty blow. He then
said to him: "By Him in whose Hand is my soul, if it were not for the
treaty between us, O enemy of Allah, I would have killed you." Finḥāṣ went
to the Messenger of Allah and said: "O Muḥammad! Look at what your
companion has done to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked
Abū Bakr: "What has driven you to do what you did?"He said: "O
Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this
enemy of Allah has said something very serious. He claimed that Allah is poor
and they are rich. When he said that I became angry for the sake of Allah and
hit his face."Finḥāṣ denied it and said "I did not say that."
And so Allah revealed the verse responding to the lie of Finḥāṣ and confirming
the words of Abū Bakr: When he said that I became angry for the sake of Allah
and hit his face."Finḥāṣ denied it and said "I did not say
that." And so Allah revealed the verse responding to the lie of Finḥāṣ and
confirming the words of Abū Bakr: Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of those
(Jews) who said: "Verily, Allah is poor and we are rich!" We shall
record what they have said as well as their unjust killing of the Prophets, and
We shall say: "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire." [3:181] [Asbab
Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi , trans. Mokrane Guezzou]
This
came down from Allah (swt) to prove the Jew was lying
Because
he denied that he said Allah is poor and he is rich.
The Jews
went astray because they say Allah's Hands are tied
Meaning
Allah (swt) is helpless, stingy
And that
Allah (swt) cannot stop them from spreading mischief on earth
The Jews
say: "Allah's Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not give and spend of His
Bounty)." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for what they
uttered. Nay, both His Hands are widely outstretched. He spends (of His Bounty)
as He wills. Verily, the Revelation that has come to you from Allah increases
in most of them their obstinate rebellion and disbelief. We have put enmity and
hatred amongst them till the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the
fire of war, Allah extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on
earth. And Allah does not like the Mufsidun (mischiefmakers). (Al-Ma'idah
5:64)
‘Be
their hands tied up..’’ in the above ayah means
They
will be known all over the world as people who are tightfisted and stingy
Allah
(swt) gives from His bounties
2. THE
CHRISTIANS
They
went astray because they claimed that Allah (swt) begot a son
And to
beget a son means to impregnate a woman by way of intercourse
Allah
said in the verses below:
And they
say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or
children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the
Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs
say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)]." (Maryam 19:88)
Indeed
you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. (Maryam 19:89)
Whereby
the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains
fall in ruins, (Maryam 19:90)
That
they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).
(Maryam 19:91)
But it
is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should
beget a son (or offspring or children). (Maryam 19:92)
The
Christians, like the Jews, have gone astray because
They
accuse Allah of doing something He did not do.
Many of
you will say, why do you allow the kaafir Christians and Jews
To live
in the Islamic State?
It is
because they had a heavenly beginning
They are
people of the book
Even
though their religion has been reduced to paganism
They can
pay the jiziya and live in the Islamic State because
They are
people of the book unlike the Yazidis
The
Christians accuse Allah of resting on the 7th day
They are
mortified when they ready exodus 31:17
Their
argument is God has the power to do everything, so why can't He beget a son?
It is a
sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the LORD
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
(Exodus 31:17) King James Version
We say
to them, how can you accuse Allah of this?
It is
because they do not understand tawheed asma wa sifaat
To
describe Allah (swt) only by His Names and Attributes
Christians
are poor at knowledge, they don't understand this
Only
you, the Muslim understand this
You, the
Muslim, are the only peopel on earth saved from lying on Allah
You are
protected because you understand tawheed asma was sifaat
No
fatigue touched Allah (swt) when He created the heaven and earth
…..His Kursī extends over the heavens and
the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is
the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursī.]
(Al-Baqarah 2:255)
And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
heart. (King James Version 6:6)
In Gen
6:6 they (the Christians) claimed Allah made tawba after He made man
I know
the secret code to expose Christianity because I use to be a Christian
3. THE
SHIA
They went
astray because they accuse Allah (swt) of things He did not do
They
said Allah lies and makes mistakes
SHIA
HUJJAH: “Allah often lies and does mistakes”
[Usool-al-Kafi, page 328, Yacoob Kulayni, Vol. 1]
They
predict things, and when it doesn't occur
They say
Allah broke His promise or changed His mind
We
cannot unite with these people who have this belief!
Nor take
jiziya from them
They
give Allah's attributes to their Imams
Shia
elevate their Imams above Allah (swt)
They say
in their books that Allah makes mistakes but their Imams cannot make mistakes
SHIA
HUJJAH: All the Imams are infallible just like the prophets. The Shia derives
their religion from their immaculate (infallible) Imams" (Usool al Kafi,
p. 22)
4. THE
SUFI
They say
Allah (swt) is everywhere and they don't want to accept 20:5
This is
the Surah Umar (ra) read and embraced Islam
The Most
Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that
suits His Majesty). (Ta-Ha 20:5)
They
went astray in regards to Allah's Names and Attributes
They
deny attributes that Allah has affirmed for Himself
For
example they deny ayah 38:75
They
don't believe Allah has two Hands
(Allah)
said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one
whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to
Adam) or are you one of the highly exalted?" (Sad 38:75)
We, the
Muslim, read it, believe it and leave it
They say
two hands mean two powers
The
Ashairah, Berailvis and the tabligi jamah are guilty of this as well
They
borrowed the aqeeda of two powers from the fire worshippers of Iran
They say
you are giving Allah human body parts when you say He has two Hands
To
believe Allah is human is Shirk
Allah is
not His creation
Therefore,
Allah's Hands are not human hands
Because
Allah is not human
You deny
Allah has hands because you believe Allah is human in your heart
So when
you read the verse you dance around the Ayah
Or you
put a spin on the Ayah (ta’weel)
Ta'weel
means to give a dodgy tafsir to the verse
5. THE
MU’TAZILA
They say
Allah (swt) didn't predestine anything and man created his own actions
They
believe in creators besides Allah (swt) and that is shirk
To
believe that man created his own actions is major shirk
When you
woke up and prayed fajr, your action was created by Allah
So why
do you get baraka?
Because
no one made you do it
You did
it on your own accord
You were
a free human being exercising your free will
TAWHEED
IBADA (ULUHIYYAH)
Allah
(swt) Alone Deserves to Be Worshipped
La
illaha ilallah -your shahada has two parts
Negation
and affirmation
la
illaha is the first part
It means
there is no deity worthy of worship
illalah
means except Allah (swt)
And this
second part is called affirmation
You
affirm that you believe in Allah and Allah alone
It is
worthy of mentioning that you cannot be a Muslim until you reject the taghoot
Everyone
tells the Muslim to believe in Allah (swt)
But no
one tells the Muslim to reject the taghoot
When you
believe in Allah (swt) you are only practicing half of your shahada
Many
Muslims in the 1970's died as communist
Today in
our lifetime, many Muslims died as democrats
Why?
Because everyone is telling the Muslims to believe in Allah
But not
to reject the taghoot
Muhammad
Morsi is rotting away in a prison right now
Allah
(swt) disgraced him because he believed in democracy
And
democracy is the religion of the shaitan
The way
forward is not democracy like Morsi claimed
The way
forward is Jihad like the Islamic State showed you
In
Democracy it's their rules, their game
Many
Muslims win elections, but the western government don't accept the results
The
kuffaar of the west are low life scum of the earth
They
will never accept the result when you win an election
The
purpose of accepting Allah (swt) is tawheed ibada
The
purpose of sending Muhammad (saw) on earth
Is to
fight against people until they accept tawheed ibada not for tawheed rububiyyah
The
people already believe in tawheed ar rububiyyah
Allah
(swt) told you in 31:25 that the pagan Arabs already believed in tawheed ar
rububiyyah
And if
you (O Muhammad SAW) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the
earth," they will certainly say: "Allah." Say: "All the
praises and thanks be to Allah!" But most of them know not. (Luqman 31:25)
On the
authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (RA), that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I
have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that there is
none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah, and until they establish the salah and pay the zakat. And if they do
that then they will have gained protection from me for their lives and
property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable] in Islam, and their
reckoning will be with Allah.” [Al-Bukhari (25) and Muslim (22)]
And
fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for
Allah Alone [in the whole of the world[]]. But if they cease (worshipping
others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
(Al-Anfal 8:39)
Fight
against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor
forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those
who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah[] with willing
submission, and feel themselves subdued. (At-Tawbah 9:29)
WHO ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO WENT ASTRAY IN REGARDS TO TAWHEED IBADA?
1. THE
JEWS
Because
they worship their priests and rabbis as their lord besides Allah (swt)
They
(Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords
besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful
according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also
took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and
Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to
worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right
to be worshipped but He)[]. Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from
having the partners they associate (with Him)." (At-Tawbah 9:31)
The
Rabbis made up a new religion for them called the Talmud
Moses
(as) did not bring this
The
Talmud is their holy book, in it is a lot of racism and shirk
2. THE
CHRISTIANS
They say
Jesus (as) is Allah (swt) so Allah made takfir on them
Surely,
they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son
of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children
of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets
up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him,
and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers)
there are no helpers. (Al-Ma'idah 5:72)
Surely,
disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a
Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be
worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they
say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.
(Al-Ma'idah 5:73)
They
claim Allah is the third in a trinity
The
Christians have gone astray in regards to all four tawheeds
The Jews
gained Allah’s anger
The
Christians have gone astray
The Way
of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who
earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the
Christians). (Al-Fatihah 1:7)
After
the counsel of Nicea when they gathered together
To give
Christianity a pagan identity
Many
Christians have never heard of the Council of Nicea
We heard
about it because we are disturbed by it
Because
that is when they decided to incorporate paganism into Christianity
If you
ask your Christian neighbor about the Council of Nicea, he will be clueless
So the
Muslim knows about Christianity more than the Christians
3.
BERAILVIS
Because
they pray to the graves of Muhammad (saw) and other saints
And beg
them for things instead of Allah (swt)
They are
grave worshippers
Allah
said they are liars and kuffaar
Surely,
the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those
who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them
only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge
between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him
who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
This
Ayah is talking about the grave worshipping Berailvis
They
recite Surah Fatiha daily in every salah claiming that
‘You
(Allah) alone we worship and You (Allah) alone we ask for help’
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we
ask for help (for each and everything). (Al-Fatihah 1:5)
Yet they
asked the people in the graves and pray to them
They are
only Muslim by culture not by conviction
How many
of you knew before the Prophet (saw) died,
He
begged Allah (swt) not to make his grave into an idol?
Because
the grave is an idol
If you
don't believe that a Berailvi is an idol worshipper, you have a problem.
The
following hadith to refute the grave worshippers is used by the sincere
scholars
These
grave worshippers pray to Muhammad (saw) and ask for things
"O
Allah, do not make my grave an idol to be worshipped after me. Allah was very
angry with people who took the graves of their Prophets as places of
worship". (Malik, 593, Bukhari, 3765, etc.)
The
following Ayah is the knockout punch for the Berailvi
If you
invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were
to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of
Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you
(O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the All Knower (of each and everything).
(Fatir 35:14)
They
can't dance around or put a spin on this Ayah (above)
Nu’man
ibn Bashir (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, “The supplication is itself
worship.” Then he recited. And your Lord says, “Call upon Me, and I shall
answer you. Surely those who are too arrogant to worship Me, they shall enter
Hell, disgraced.” (40: 60) [Tirmidhi (5/456) No. 3372, Abu Dawud (2/76) No.
1479, Ibn Majah (5/5) No. 3828, Ahmad (4/271) No. 18410]
The
moment you pray to somebody else besides Allah, you have become a 5 star kaafir
Narrated
By Anas: Whenever drought threatened them, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask
Al-Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O
Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless
us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless
us with rain." And so it would rain. [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 2, Book 17,
Hadith #123]
We say
to the grave worshippers,
If it were halal to pray to Muhammad (saw) and beg
him for things,
Why
didn't Umar (ra) pray to the grave of
Muhammad and asked for things after he died?
Instead
Umar went to Muhammad's (saw) uncle (Al-Abbas) (ra)
And
begged him to ask Allah (swt) for rain
This
hadith is called the knockout punch for the Berailvis
4. THE
SHIA
They
didn't hide their kufr
They say
their Imams are gods because they have a god complex
SHIA
HUJJAH: Imams are God (Jila-ul-Ayoun, Vol. No. 2, Page No. 85)
They
worship their imams
5. THE
NATION OF ISLAM (NOI)
Started
in Chicago in the 1950's
They
said Master Farad Muhammad was Allah (swt) in flesh
They
have the same creed as the Christians
When
Farakhan speaks, he says ‘in the name of Allah the Beneficial and Merciful who
came in the person of master Farad Muhammad’
They
believe he is god
REFUTING
THE LIE ABOUT THE EXCUSE OF IGNORANCE
The
excuse of ignorance is the argument that some people put forward saying
If a man
should worship a false deity due to ignorance
On the
day of resurrection, Allah (swt) will let him off
Because
he did not know better
This
argument is flawed and the argument of the zindeeq
The
excuse of ignorance is not an excuse for shirk of worship
A person
who is a mushrik cannot be a Muslim
The
first argument to use against these people is 7:172
Allah
(swt) took away your excuse of ignorance in this ayah
And
(remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their
loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as
to themselves (saying) : "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes!
We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily,
we have been unaware of this." (Al-A'raf 7:172)
The
other evidence to refute this claim ignorance is 33:67-68
And they
will say: "Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and
they misled us from the (Right) Way. (Al-Ahzab 33:67)
Our
Lord! give them double torment and curse them with a mighty curse!"
(Al-Ahzab 33:68)
Evidence
from hadith is as follows:
Verily,
a person said: Messenger of Allah, where is my father? He said: (He) is in the
Fire. When he turned away, he (the Holy Prophet) called him and said: Verily my
father and your father are in the Fire. Sahih Muslim : Book 1, Hadith 398
Ignorance
is not an excuse if you worship a false deity
"...Suhail
said to the Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the
Prophet called the clerk and said to him, "Write: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 'Bismillah ir-Rahman
ir-Raheem' (In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
Merciful)." Suhail said, "As for الرَّحْمَنِ
'ar-Rahman (Beneficent), by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: بِاسْمِكَ اللهُمَّ ‘ ismika Allahumma' (By Your Name O
Allah)..." [al-Bukhari: (3/54) (2731) and Muslim (1784)]
Surah
29:65 is additional evidence
And when
they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for Him only,
but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their
worship to others. (Al-'Ankabut 29:65)
This
ayah proves that every kaafir knows that
He
should worship Allah (swt) alone
It is
your natural instinct to worship Allah alone as Allah told you in 30:30
So set
you (O Muhammad SAW) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism
Hanifa (worship none but Allah Alone) Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic
Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalqillah
(i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic Monotheism), that is the straight religion,
but most of men know not. [Tafsir AtTabari, Vol 21, Page 41] (Ar-Rum 30:30)
TAUHEED
HAKYMIYYAH
Tauheed
Hakymiyyah means Allah (swt) is the only Legislator, The Only Lawgiver
This
Tauheed has created a lot of fitna in the ummah
Because
most English speaking scholars leave out this branch of Tauheed
When
they write books on tauheed
So the
vast majority of the English speaking community thinks that
Tauheed
has only three branches
They
pronounce Tauheed Hakymiyyah a bidah
This
claim is ridiculous
A thing
becomes a bidah if it is not mentioned in the Quran or Sunnah
But if
the thing was made mention of in the Quran or Sunnah
It is
haram for you to call it a bidah
The
concept that Allah (swt) is the only legislator was made mentioned in the Quran
Example
is 18:26
Say:
"Allah knows best how long they stayed. With Him is (the knowledge of) the
unseen of the heavens and the earth. How clearly He sees, and hears
(everything)! They have no Wali (Helper, Disposer of affairs, Protector, etc.)
other than Him, and He makes none to share in His Decision and His Rule."
(Al-Kahf 18:26)
They say
it is a bidah because in the time of the sahabah
We did
not hear of this classification
This
classification was put together by the scholars of Islam
To make
it easy for you to understand Tauheed
If you
are going to say Tauheed hakymiyya is a bidah,
Then you
have to say Tauheed Asma Wa Sifaat is also bidah
THE FOUR
BRANCHES OF TAUHEED WERE MADE MENTIONED OF INSIDE SURAH FATIHA
All the
praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all
that exists). (Al-Fatihah 1:2)
The
above mentioned Ayah is talking about Tauheed Ar Rububiyyah
Because
it speaks about Allah's Lordship
That
Allah is the One and Only Lord
The Most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful. (Al-Fatihah 1:3)
The
above mentioned Ayah refers to Tauheed Asma Wa Sifaat
The Only
Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection). (Al-Fatihah 1:4)
The
above mentioned Ayah refers to Tauheed Hakymiyyah
Because
it says Allah is the Only Judge on the Day of Resurrection
You
(Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
(Al-Fatihah 1:5)
The
above mentioned Ayah refers to Tauheed Ibaada
Because
it says Allah (swt) alone deserves to be worshipped
PROPHET
YUSUF (AS) TAUGHT THE FOUR BRANCHES OF TAUHEED IN PRISON
"O
two companions of the prison! Are many different lords (gods) better or Allah,
the One, the Irresistible? (Yusuf 12:39)
In this
Ayah Prophet Yusuf (as) said Allah is the One and Only Lord.
It
refers to Tauheed ar Rububiyyah
"You
do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named (forged), you
and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. (Yusuf 12:40)
The
above mentioned Ayah refers to Tauheed Asma wa Sifaat
Because
Prophet Yusuf (as) rebuked the pagans of Egypt
Who
served Allah (swt) with names that were forged
You have
to worship Allah (swt) with His Names and Attributes that He has revealed
In the
Quran or in the hadith only, not names that you forged
......
The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah....(12:40)
The
above mentioned part of the ayah represents Tauheed Hakiymiyyah
Because
Prophet Yusuf said the command is for none but Allah
... He
has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism), that is the
(true) straight religion, but most men know not. (Yusuf 12:40)
The
above mentioned part of the Ayah represents Tauheed Ibaada
Because
Prophet Yusuf told the inmates the worship is for Allah alone
After I
brought you the proof of Tauheed Hakymiyyah, how can you doubt your holy book?
ALLAH
(SWT) MENTIONED THE FOUR BRANCHES OF TAUHEED INSIDE OF AYATUL KURSI
Allah!
La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He),…(2:255)
The
above mentioned part of the Ayah represents Tauheed Ibaada
Because
it says Allah (swt) alone deserves to be worshipped
....
Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him.
This
part of the Ayah represents Tauheed Asma Wa Sifaat
Because
it is explaining to us Allah's attributes
...To
Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. (2:55)
This
part of the Ayah represents Tauheed Rububiyyah
Because
it says Allah is the owner of the heaven and earth
He is
the Lord of the heaven and the earth
...Who
is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? [This Verse 2:255
is called Ayat-ul-Kursi.] (Al-Baqarah 2:255)
This
part of the Ayah represents Tauheed Hakymiyyah
Because
it says nothing happens on Judgement Day without the permission of Allah
Because
Allah is the Master of the Day of Judgement
The four
branches of Tauheed are in both Surah Fatiha and Ayah tul Kursi
I beg
you to learn this
BEWARE
OF SLIDING AND HIDING
Because
Al Hakam (The Only Judge) is one of Allah's Names and Attributes,
The
hypocrites realise that they cannot deny it successfully,
So out
of desperation, they slide it under Tauheed ar rububiyyah
To hide
it from the ummah
By doing
so they are guilty of making the shaitan a Muslim
Because
in Surah 15:36 the shaitan acknowledged Tauheed ar rububiyyah
Only
those who hear will respond. But the dead - Allah will resurrect them; then to
Him they will be returned. (Al-Hijr 15:36) Sahih International
[Iblis
(Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the
dead) will be resurrected." (Al-Hijr 15:36)
In the
above Ayah the Shaitan declared that Allah (swt) is his Lord
Therefore,
when you slide Tauheed hakiymiyyah under Tauheed ar rububiyyah
You are
guilty of making the shaitan a Muslim
The two
Tauheeds are separate
They
don't mean the same thing
It is
possible for people to believe in one but not the other
The kuffaar
of Makkah believed in Tauheed ar rububiyyah
But they
did not believe in Tauheed ibaada because they worshipped idols
And if
you (O Muhammad SAW) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the
earth," they will certainly say: "Allah." Say: "All the praises
and thanks be to Allah!" But most of them know not. (Luqman 31:25)
The
people who claimed that Tauheed hakymiyyah is a bidah
Also
claim that to dismantle the shariah is a minor kufr
This
ideology of theirs is zandaqa (heresy)
And they
went against the ijma of the ummah
We have
8 fataawa from 8 classical scholars
To prove
that to dismantle the shariah is major kufr not minor kufr
1) THE
FATWA OF IBN TAYMIYYAH (RA)
Shaikhul
Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: And it is known from the religion (of Islam) by
necessity and by the consensus of all Muslims that whoever legalizes to follow
other than the religion of Islam or a Sharia other than the Sharia of Muhammad
(SAW), he is a Kaafir. And his kufr is similar to that of the one who believes
in some part of the book (Quran) and reject some of it.(Majmua Al-Fataawa: Vol
28, p.524)
2) THE FATWA OF IBN
KATHEER (RA)
Shaikh
Ibn Katheer said: "So whoever leaves the clear Shari'ah, which was
revealed to Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, the Seal of the Prophets, and takes the Hukm
to other than it from the laws of Kufr which are abrogated, he has disbelieved.
So what about the one who takes the Hukm to the 'Yasiq' (the law of the Tartars
which mixed Shari'ah rulings with invented rulings) and puts it before it?!
Whoever does that, he has disbelieved by the Ijmaa' of the
Muslims."("Al-Bidaayah wa Nihaayah", Vol. 13/ 119)
3) THE FATWA OF
ALLAMA AL-SHINQITI (RH)
Shaikh
Allama al-Shinqiti-may Allah be merciful with him-has said: to commit shirk
with Allah in judging is of the same meaning as to commit shirk in his worship,
there is no difference between the two in any manner. There is no difference in
any sense between he who follows a system (nizam) other than Allah's system or
law other than Allah's law (sharia) and he who worships an idol or prostrates
to a false god. They are the same and both are polytheists [associating others]
with Allah.(Adwa' al-Bayan, 7:162)
4) THE FATWA OF
AHMAD SHAAKIR (RH)
Shaikh
Ahmad Shaakir said: "The matter in these fabricated laws is clear with the
clearness of the sun. It is clear Kufr and there is nothing hidden about it and
there is no excuse for anyone who attributes themselves to Islaam, whoever they
may be, to act according to it or to submit to it or to approve of it. So each
person should beware and every person is responsible for himself. So the
'Ulamaa should make the truth clear and tell what they have been ordered to
tell without concealing anything."– "Umdaat At-Tafseer Mukhtasar
Tafseer Ibn Katheer of Ahmad Shaakir", Vol. 4/ 173-174
5) ALAAMAH MUHAMMAD IBN IBRAAHEEM AAL-ASH-SHAYKH
(RH)
Alaamah
Muhammad Ibn Ibraaheem Aal-Ash-Shaykh (the first Grand Mufti of Saudi prior to
Sh. Abdullah b. Baazsaid: "… The fifth, and it is the greatest and the
most encompassing and the clearest opposition of the Shari'ah and stubbornness
in the face of its laws and insulting to Allah and His Messenger and opposing
the courts of the Shari'ah on their roots and branches and their types and
their appearances and judgements and implementations the references and their
applications. And these courts are now fully operational in the settlements of
Islaam, people entering them one after another, their rulers judge upon them
with what opposes the Sunnah and the Book with the rules of that law and they
impose that on them and approve it for them. So what Kufr is there beyond this
Kufr and what nullification of the Shahaadah ofMuhammadar Rasool-Allah is there
beyond this nullification?! [Tah'keem Al-Qawaneen]
6) 'ABDUL-LATEEF IBN
'ABDUR-RAHMAAN (MUHAMMAD IBN 'ABDUL-WAHHAB'S GREAT-GRANDSON
When
asked concerning what the Bedouins judge with, according to the customs of
their fathers and grandfathers. "Do we label them with Kufr after it is
made clear to them (that this is not permissible but still they
continue)?" So he answered: "Whoever takes the judgement to other
than the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger after it is made clear
to him (that this is not permissible), then he is a Kaafir. He (Allah), ta'ala
said:'And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the
Kâfirûn. ' (Ma'idah 5, Verse 44)(And He (Allah) ta'ala also said) 'Is it other
than the Deen of Allah that they seek? ' (Ma'idah 5, Verse 50)
(And
He ta'ala also said)'Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they
believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down
before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Tâghût
(false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. ' (Nisa 4,
Verse 60)
'And
the Aayaat with this meaning are many."["Dur'ur As-Saneeyah
fi'Al-Ajwibah An-Najdeeyah", Vol. 8/ 231 Published by "Dar Al-Iftaa'
bil'Saudeeyah" 1385 H]
7) SHAIKH MUHAMMAD
IBN SAALIH AL-'UTHAYMEEN
Shaikh
Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen said: "The first type is when the Hukm
of Allah is removed and replaced with another Taghuutee Hukm, so that the Hukm
of the Shari'ah is eliminated between the people and he puts in its place
another Hukm from the fabrication of the humans and they remove the laws of the
Shari'ah concerning the Mu'amalah (i. e. the general actions between people)
and they put in its place fabricated laws and this, without doubt, is Istib'daal
(i.e. replacement) of the Shari'ah of Allah subhaanahuu wa-ta'ala, with other
than it. And this is Kufr which removes one from the Milla because this person
put himself at the level of the Creator because he shara'a (legislated) for the
slaves of Allah that which Allah ta'ala did not give permission for and that is
Shirk in His, ta'ala's saying:
:
"Or have they partners with Allâh (false gods), who have instituted for
them a religion, which Allâh has not allowed?"(Ash-Shu'ara, 21)
-"Fiqh Al-'Ebaadaat", #60
8) SHAIKH ABDUL-'AZEEZ
IBN 'ABDULLAH IBN BAAZ
Shaikh
Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baaz said: "There is no Eeman for the one
who believes the laws of the people and their opinions are superior to the Hukm
of Allah and His Messenger or that they are equal to it or that they resemble
it or who leaves it or replaces it with fabricated laws and institutions
invented by people, even if he believes that the laws of Allah are more
encompassing and more just."[Wujoob Tah'keem Shari'ah Allah' (pg. 16-17)]
EVERY
ERA HAS A FITNA
In the
time of Prophet Adam (as) the fitan were envy, jealousy and murder
This was
why Cain killed Abel
Abdullah
Ibn Mas‘ud (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “No soul is killed
unlawfully, but there is a share of the sin on the first son of Adam, because
he was the first one to set the precedent of killing.” [Related by al-Bukhari
(3335) and Muslim (1677)]
In the
time of Prophet Noah (as) the fitna was idol worshipping
The
first people to worship idols were the people of Noah
Ibn
'Abbas (RA) said: "Between Nooh (Noah) and Adam were ten generations, all
of them were upon Sharee'ah (law) of the truth, then they differed. So Allah
sent prophets as bringers of good news and as warners." Related by Ibn
Jareer at-Tabaree in his tafseer (4/275) No. 4048 and al-Haakim (2/596) No.
4009 who said: "It is authentic according to the criterion of al-Bukhari."
Adh-Dhahabe also agreed]
In the
time of Prophet Shuaib (as) the fitna was cheating with the scales
In the
time of Prophet Lut (as) the fitna was homosexuality
Nobody
did that before them
And
(remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people: "Do you commit the worst
sin such as none preceding you has committed in the 'Alamin (mankind and
jinns)? (Al-A'raf 7:80)
"Verily,
you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people
transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins)." (Al-A'raf 7:81)
The
so-called muslim gay community try to refute this ayah by saying
They do
not practice lust, they practice love.
You say
to them Allah (swt) has made takfir on homosexuals in the Quran
Whether
you practice love or lust
Love or
lust is neither here nor there
Because
Allah has made takfir on you in the Quran
The
hujjah for this - 51:35-36
So We
brought out from therein the believers. (Adh-Dhariyat 51:35)
But We
found not there any household of the Muslims except one [i.e. Lout (Lot) and
his two daughters]. (Adh-Dhariyat 51:36)
Those of
you who say a gay can be a Muslim, you are heretics
In the
time of Prophet Musa (as) the fitna was Black Magic
In the
time of Prophet David (as) the fitna was they tampered with the sabbath
So Allah
(swt) turned them into apes and swine
Allah
mentions this in 5:60.
Say (O
Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture) : "Shall I inform you of
something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews)
who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He
transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Taghut (false
deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hellfire),
and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)."
(Al-Ma'idah 5:60)
In the
time of Prophet Isa (Jesus) (as) they abandoned the Torah
And
followed the elders of Zion
They
(Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords
besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful
according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also
took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and
Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to
worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right
to be worshipped but He)[]. Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from
having the partners they associate (with Him)." (At-Tawbah 9:31)
They
took their rabbis and priest as lords besides Allah (swt)
Jesus
(as) called them hypocrites
In the
time of the Prophet Muhammad (saw)
The
fitna was worshipping Laat, Uzza, hubal and minat
And
fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for
Allah Alone [in the whole of the world[]]. But if they cease (worshipping
others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
(Al-Anfal 8:39)
In the
time of Abu Bakr (ra) the fitna was some people refused to pay the zakah
So he
made takfir on them and fought them
Abu
Hurayra said, "When the Messenger of Allah (SAW), died and Abu Bakr was
khalifa and those of the Arabs who were going to reject rejected, 'Umar said,
'How can we fight people when the Messenger of Allah said, "I am commanded
to fight people until they say, 'There is no god but Allah.' [al-Bukhari and
Muslim]
In the
time of Uthman (ra) the fitna was Abdullah ibn Saba
He was
the founder of the Shia movement
His
shahada was fake
He took
the shahada to sow the seeds of discord among the shahabah
In the
time of Ali (ra) the fitna was the khawarij
They
killed the Muslims and left alone the kuffaar
In the
time of Ahmed ibn Hanbal (rh) the fitna was that of the Mu’tazillites
Who
claimed the Quran was created
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said,”Whoever
says that the Qur’an is created is a kaafir; do not say salam to him, neither
pray behind him nor sit with him.” Masail ibn Hani Pg 154 Vol.2 fekrah 1863
In the
time of Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) the fitna was the Jahmiyyah
Who deny
Allah's 99 Names and Attributes
Because
of that Ibn Taymiyyah introduced Tauheed Asma wa Sifaat
To
refute the Jahmiyyah
Nobody
said ibn Taymiyyah did bidah
In our
time the fitna is the dismantling of the Shariah
And
because of that, Muhammad Ibraheem said:
Muhammad
Ibrahim [the shaikh of bin Baaz] said in Page 6 of his book Tahkeen Qawaneen:
“Tauheed haakimiyya is the twin half of Tauheed Ibaada.”
We
close by saying, because Shariah is the fitna of our time
When
we deny Tauheed Haakimiyyah
We are
not solving the problem
We are
aggravating the problem
We
deny what is known in Islam by necessity
And
when we slide hakymiyyah under rububiyyah
We are
guilty of making shaitan a Muslim
Question
1: Who can I listen to in Arabic?
Answer
1: Listen to Dr. Muhammad Al Jazouli (May Allah hastens his release)
Some of
his lectures have English subtitles as well
His
aqeeda is authentic
Question
2: What is authentic Tauheed vs. non-authentic Tauheed?
Answer
2: Non authentic Tauheed is when they slide one tauheed underneath another
Like
sliding Tauheed hakymiyyah under rububiyyah
And
claim both Tauheeds mean the same thing
When
they do this, they make the shaitan a Muslim
Another
example is to say
To
dismantle the shariah is minor kufr
Refer to
the notes for the 8 fatawa to prove othewise
Another
example is when they say if you commit major kufr,
You are
not a kaafir unless you make it halal with your tongue
That is
irjaa - the creed of the murji (liberal)
This
condition is for minor kufr not major kufr
Another
example is when they claim ignorance is an excuse
For
those who worship a false deity
That is
not an excuse - we have already refuted this
Allah
(swt) took away this excuse in 7:172
And
(remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their
loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as
to themselves (saying) "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We
testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we
have been unaware of this." (Al-A'raf 7:172)
Question
3: Is Tauheed uluhiyya the same as tawhheed ibadah
Answer
3: Yes, there is no difference between these two Tauheeds
Different
scholars call them different names
It means
Allah (swt) alone deserves to be worshipped
Question
4: Will there be another Tauheed after the 4th branch or is it the seal of
Tauheed?
Answer
4: The big secret about Tauheed is Allah (swt) has 99 Names and Attributes
And each
name is a Tauheed by itself
There is
no need for a 5th Tauheed right now
Because
we don't have any fitna as regards to Allah's names
For
example, Nation Of Islam (NOI) said the white man was created
By a mad
scientist called Yacub
Their
ideology contradicts one of Allah's names - Al Khaaliq (The Only Creator)
How can
a man create another man
MAD
SCIENTIST YAKUB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
So
whenever anyone comes with anything
We will
use the Names and Attributes of Allah (swt) to refute them
Question
5: Can we consider that the fitna of Ali (ra) was the fighting between Muslims?
Answer
5: There is no doubt, it was a fitna
Because
when Ali (ra) fought the khawarij, he did not make takfir on them
Question
6: Is tauheed and aqeedah the same thing?
Answer
6: Aqeedah means what you believe in
You are
tied to your belief and that is why it's called aqeedah
The
aqeedah of the Christians is called trinity for example
The
aqeedah of the Muslim is called monotheism
Question
7: Which Shariah did Nuh (AS) follow, did he follow the sharia of Adam (as) or
he had a new shariah?
Answer
7: The shariah of Nuh (as) was new
Because
the children of Adam (as) married each other
Eve gave
birth to twins and they swapped for marriage
Cain
killed his brother because he wanted to marry his own twin sister
He
thought she was prettier
The
first murder was committed over a woman
Question
8: Is it halal to make takfir on a nationalist/patriot?
Answer
8: It's only halal to make takfir on him if he prefers nationalism over shariah
Everybody
has an element of nationalism in their heart
Therefore
you cannot make takfir of everyone
But you
make takfir on the nationalist who prefers it over his Muslim brother
