Invocations of God #15 Is Allah Great

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

avoiding them, avoiding the prohibitions.

avoiding them, avoiding the prohibitions.
