When speaking about, shirk and continuing on with
shirk and how,
tawhid is the only means of forgiveness from
shirk after he mentioned the 3 types of
ways,
the 3 types of injustices
from Hadith
and Hadith.
I'm sorry.
He mentions here,
He said due to the fact that shirk
is the polytheism is the worst type of
the 3,
Allah
made
Jannah,
impermissible for him.
So he does, Mushrik doesn't enter Jannah. The
polytheists doesn't enter Jannah. Only people of Tawhid,
the monotheistic,
the ones that worship Allah alone, the Muslims.
He said, for verily, it is monotheism. It
is torhid.
This is the key to the door.
And whoever doesn't have with him the key,
the door will not be open for him.
He said, and also someone that may have
the key
that has no ridges,
he will not he will not be he
will not be able to open the door
as well. He says
here
He said, and the the the ridges for
this key
are fasting, prayer, zakat, you know, charity, the
yearly charity,
pilgrimage, fighting for the cause of Allah, ordering
the good, forbidding the evil,
truthful truthful,
speech and being trustworthy
and also,
bringing the kin together, the relatives, the family,
making sure you maintain that togetherness
and righteousness to the parents. All of these
are actions which are very interesting that this
distinction is made
Because someone may be doing all of these,
but they go and they worship Jesus. They
go and they worship an idol. They go
and worship themselves. They don't believe in
a deity,
but they may do all of these things.
I'll never forget. I remember someone told me,
I don't need god to tell me to
walk a woman across the street, an old
woman across the street. I don't need god
for that. So this distention is important because
we may be thinking, okay. He has Tawhid.
Why are the Asnaan there? The Tawhid may
be there but they may not be doing
the actions. How many times, you know, unfortunately,
we see Muslims that probably don't do don't
do any of these. They were probably born
Muslim,
or they converted to Islam, but later in
their life, they just, you know, they just
didn't couldn't hold on, didn't hold on, didn't
want to hold on,
faced experiences in their lives that made them
turn away from prayer.
And fasting was too difficult. And zakat,
they don't really see the benefit of it
because the Ummah is the way that it
is. And me giving zakat, what will that
really help? Hajj. Why am I gonna go
to the desert? So these types of things
will be said,
from those that may believe in the oneness
of Allah or may say that they're Muslim.
But let's assume they believe in the oneness
of Allah. They don't have the asnaan. They're
not doing the actions
of khir. But make no mistake, if someone
that has this tawhid in their heart and
they worship the worship the worship Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
it's very very interesting because
don't want to ask the question, is it
possible? But let's think about it, really.
Someone that really knows Allah and worships him,
how can they be void and voluntarily not
do any of these things?
Dare I say it's impossible
for someone to really know Allah and to
want because when they know Allah, they love
him more. And when they love him more,
they they want to please him. So if
they want to please Allah,
they want to, you know, implement the structure
that he has set for them. So it's
believing, knowing who Allah is, knowing the structure
he has set, and trying their best to
follow it.
That's the thought. That's the important part. So
these asanas what Ibn Uqayim mentions that these
are the the ridges for the king. And
then he says
He said, so any servant,
anyone who acquires the right key in this
life, the key of Tawhid,
and then gives it its teeth of God's
commandment. Gives it its teeth,
and it has the teeth of the key
by following God's commandments. He will come on
the day of judgment,
to the door of Jannah with the keys
that no other
keys can open. With that that no other
keys can open. It cannot. The door cannot
be opened except with that key,
and nothing is holding him back.
He says that he he comes up to
the door and he has the key for
the door, the proper key.
Anyone that is like this,
or or, you know, the person may have
this key and their condition being that there's
nothing that holds him back except if there
are some type of sins or wrongdoings or
burden that that burden him,
because the the the the the remnants of
those sins have not been relinquished
from istighfar
or from repentance. So we talked about earlier.
What happens to this person? He says,
and this is important.
He says, for verily he or she will
be withheld from Jannah until they are purified.
He says, if standing before God with all
its terrors and distress will not accomplish this,
he he he
hell cannot be avoided if the person is
to be rid of what foulness
remains in him.
So, basically, that person will serve in the
hellfire until
they are purified
from it
Because of those sins that he or she
did not seek forgiveness for.
And the the mokkifa standing in front of
Allah
does not cause that to relinquish, and that
is by the will of Allah. And it's
important to mention that. That is by the
choice in the will of Allah
But it notice here,
it's the responsibility
of the servant that was not fulfilled. They
did not take those moments to seek forgiveness
from firstly,
they didn't take those moments to seek out
their sinful practices
and to ask Allah for forgiveness from it
and seek repentance.
This is the first thing because that's the
that's our responsibility
is to seek forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. And then he says
He says after this process of being purified
by staying in the hell for a period
of time,
they will be they will be purified
from their from the dirt and the sins
and then they will enter it enter Jannah
for really that is the abode of the
pure. The tayyibeen.
No one enters it except that they are
tayyib, that they are pure. And then he
mentions the statement of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
He says the statement of the angels is
the pure ones who,
God says, the pure ones whose souls the
angels take, to them it will be said
peace be upon you enter heaven. And this
this is a beautiful verse because you know
what's interesting here is you know, I remember
one of my sheikh used to say, Salamu
Alaikum.
Instead of us, Salamu Alaikum. And he said
we asked him why you say that. He
said, well, that's the statement of the people
in Jannah. Salamu Alaikum.
Salamu Alaikum. Salamu Alaikum utuhul Jannah. There was
also, Salamu Alaikum Tubbatum Fudukhuluh Khaledeen,
which is another verse here we're gonna go
into mention here. So this verse is showing
that the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is talking
about the angels that the the tayibeen,
that they are the ones that will enter.
And this is in the chapter of Nahal
verse number 32. And he says,
He mentions a statement here, those who revere
their lord are conducted, are entered into Jannah.
They are entered into Jannah in ranks
until
until
they come unto it and its
doors are open. And its guardian say to
them, Salamu Alaikum. Peace be upon you.
You who are pure, so enter heaven therein
forever. Now this verse is important and it
kinda brings the point home to what he
was talking about because what Ibn Uqayim here
is saying here is that, in summary,
that the individual
that has the key, that worships Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala alone, but
they don't have the ridges from the prayer,
the fasting, etcetera, etcetera,
that may not enter them into Jannah, which
brings forth an important mess'allah,
Is someone that says that I am Muslim
and they don't do the actions of
Islam,
are they considered a Mu'min?
Number 1. Number 2, are they considered a
Muslim?
Right. There's difference of opinion on this, but
for someone that voluntarily doesn't pray, there's an
opinion that they're not even considered Muslim even
if they say it.
Right? And number 2, the person that performs
the salat
and there's and and and,
the zakat
And they have sins even though they do
these actions. So they have the keys
and they have the ridges. But with these
ridges, there's deficiencies.
That's all of us. That's all of us.
You know, the the angels are the ones
that are sinless. So we have those sins.
So he mentions
the one that goes to the the one
that the key to even getting an opportunity
to get into Jannah is to have the
key
with the ridges. Right?
But with that, there's deficiencies.
So when you go in front of Allah
on that day, yomukkiyama,
and you stand in front of him, and
you haven't asked for forgiveness,
or there hasn't been actions of good that
have relinquished the sins, or there hasn't been
trials and tribulations that you endured that served
as expiation for previous sins, if that's still,
quote, unquote, left over on that day of
judgment, after looking at the horrors and the
things that we'll see on on the omer
kiyama and we still haven't asked for forgiveness,
then there's a time that you will serve
in the hellfire. The individual will serve in
the hellfire until they are purified
from those
sins. But
and he brings the proof of showing the
verses in the Quran that was just mentioned.
But what's beautiful here is Ibnu Kayim says,
So this is important for all of you
to to really, like, to dive into the
verse and to see the sequence in the
Arabic language to understand the importance of the
subject matter that we were talking about because
it could be controversial for some. It says
here
again in this verse,
those who revere their Lord are conducted
into heaven in ranks.
In ranks. That's where we get Surat Zumr
in ranks. Until they come into it,
right, and it is and its doors are
open, the doors of Jannah. May Allah make
us the inhabitants of it. And its guardians
say to them, we call them What
do they say? Salamun alaikum again. Salamun
alaikum.
So Ibn Qayyim is saying here,
so he followed up the entrance of it.
He he he he followed up the statement
of the entrance of Jannah in the verse
with the letter Right?
That it it meant that
because of that,
it is implied
that you enter or that your your purity
is the reason for your entrance.
And that's what he says here. A,
for the purpose
because of your purity.
It was said to you,
In Usulufic, there's something called,
Al Mafoom Al Muqhalifa. There's a difference of
opinion on
the strength of the proof or even the
validity of
it. But here, it is something that is
strong because it coincides with other proofs in
the Quran as the early verse that we
read. So it basically says here what the
rule basically mentions is that
because Allah said
because of your purity, enter it. You're pure,
therefore,
fat can be therefore
enter Jannah. Mafumu Khalafa, the opposite implication, but
that's the name of the rule, Qaida a
rule,
is that
if you entered in because of your purity,
it's indirectly
implied
that impurity does not allow you to enter.
Indirect implication. I tell you to sit. I'm
indirectly implying don't stand.
I tell you to stand. I'm indirectly implying
get up from the seat or do not
try to sit down. Indirect
implication.
And that's what Ibn Khayyim is talking about
in this verse. So,
again, this first pillar of Islam of the
monotheism,
it is showing here the importance of the
tawhid, the the unification of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala in the heart and your belief. And
also the writ which it serves as the
key but the ridges of the key are
the actions which will therefore open the door
ta'ala make us from the inhabitants of Jannah.
ta'ala make us from the inhabitants of Jannah.
