So the second situation that Ibn Uqayim talks
about when,
wanting to obtain an upright heart,
he says here,
he said the second situation
or fear that the heart becomes upright with
is Tawlim al Amr wan Nahi wahuwanashun
antawlim al Amr n Nahi. He says it
is glorifying the orders and prohibitions
and that does not happen except with glorification
of the one who orders and prohibits.
He says, For in Allah, ta'ala,
For verily Allah
despises or belittles
those that do not
glorify him nor glorify his orders or prohibit
and prohibitions.
Allah says in the chapter of Noah when
Noah was speaking to the people
verse 13, What is with you that you
do not
amiss glorification to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? Or
do you do not hope for him from
him from him in a glorious fashion? Meaning
to have mindfulness and fear of him because
the verses that were mentioning above that were
mentioned above, Nuh was speaking to the people
when he was talking about the glorification that
Wa Ta'la gives them. Wajalalu
kumarfiheinnorang
wajalasham sashi rajat wallah, wallahambetukuminaardinabata.
Going on and talking about how Allah Subhana
Wa Ta'la creates and how Allah Subha'ala with
the creation,
manifestation of the creation, how he's in control
of everything.
Qalib, he says here, qalufitafsiriha
madakumlatukhafun
Allah
He says, what is the tafsir is what
is with you that you do not fear
Him in a glorifying fashion?
Because when Noah was calling the people to
Islam,
he was mentioning the
greatness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the
greatness
of his creation. And when he was mentioning
this,
he was saying,
And he is the one that gives you
money and children,
and he makes
and he gives you gardens
and rivers. So when looking at all of
this, human beings cannot do this. So it
is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that we should
glorify
and have fear of him because if he's
if his greatness is able to
form this, imagine what else he can do.
Subhanah.
And then Ibn Al Qayyim goes on to
say, He said,
and what is the greatness and what is
better than what Sheikh Al Islam,
says
in in regards to glorification of the orders
and prohibitions. He makes a very comprehensive statement,
which Imid Al Qaim further breaks down. He
says
He says here,
it is not to
to basically be negligent and lackadaisical.
Tarkhis and jab. Tarkhis literally comes from the
verb rakhasiurakhesu
is to is to give a form of
concession
or to,
a form of exception
due to a particular situation
and a concession to make things easy. So,
for example,
shortening the prayers when travelling is a concession
from regular 4 raka'at to 2 raka'at
units of prayer like for as we see
in Dhur or Asr or Asr.
And
jaf is dry. So, basically, what you are
doing is you are approaching the dean in
a minimalist fashion. You are approaching the dean
at what's the least I have to do
because
it may be stressful for me or inside,
I may not want to do that much.
Then he says,
and it is not someone that is basically
transgressing and going over the bounds, doing too
much and ordering people to do more than
what is obligatory or even recommended upon them.
And that is what we call to
be,
radical
in your approach.
And then he says
and to not,
hold the the religion
based on some type of characteristic of the
ruling that will lessen or weaken the allegiance
and practice. And he goes on. He'll speak
about it Insha'Allah here.
He says,
and the meaning of his statement,
He basically says here that the the the
first level for glorifying
al Haqq, the the truth, which is Allah,
is to glorify
his orders and prohibitions.
And that is because the the believer knows
that his lord,
he knows that his lord,
He knows his Lord by the message that
was given to the Messenger,
to all of mankind.
That's how he knows Allah, by the message.
He knows Allah by the message. The risala.
Risala literally means letter or message that was
given to the prophet
and the which results in or the result
of that message
is,
to follow the orders and prohibitions.
And verily, this
can only happen,
can only be with following,
the following him, following the the orders.
And the the glorifying of the prohibitions
and by
avoiding them, avoiding the prohibitions.
