I believe what? That this thing, this string,
the benefit and also the harm is dependent
on it.
Because this is from the things that are
from the pure rights of Allah, you have
now given something else.
And in the scholars they say, if a
person believes that it is a means
that Allah Azza Wajal has made into a
means, he has fallen into shirk Askhar.
So we need to stay away from this
brothers and sisters. The Prophet mentioned. Whoever hangs
a talisman has fallen into shirk. Now InshaAllah
Ta'ala I want to move on to the
second act that nullifies a person's al
Islam. Which is
Whoever now makes between him and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala intermediaries.
Making intermediaries between you and Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala.
But what comes after that?
You call on to them.
And ask them.
Intercession.
This person has disbelieved
by Ijma'a.
Unanimously
agreed. He has been unanimously agreed that this
person left the fold of Islam.
Okay? Just merely making an intermediary between you
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. For example, the
Messenger salallahu alayhi wa. This is not shirk.
Because we know that Muhammad is the mubalak
He
conveyed to us what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
mentioned.
But, the moment now you start calling on
to him, and you ask him for his
shafa'ais problem.
Or like my teacher which is between me
and Allah
teaching me the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
I don't know the Quran that you say.
I don't know the sunnah. I'm going to
teach you. Teach me what Allah
and Allah's Quran.
But
he needs to be mentioned with this restriction.
He goes on to them and he asks
them for Shafa'a.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told us
Sorry.
It was actually what I wrote.
Whoever now calls on to 'avdulillahi azzawajal,
this person has fallen into shirk.
And that
which brings about this meaning is the statement
of Allah azza wa Jal. These texts I'm
about to mention.
Do not call onto
other than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That which
doesn't bring you any benefit nor does it
bring you any harm.
And if you do this you are from
those who are Baliemen. And here it means
mushrikeen
Allah says
do not call on to Abu Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala besides him.
You'll be from those who are punished.
Allah Azzawajal also says,
For indeed the masajir of Allah is a
wajah and do not call on to anyone
besides Allah
with him.
Allah Azzawu tells his Messenger,
Saytan o Muhammad
And I do not associate with him anything,
anyone.
He said,
'I only call on to you O Allah.'
Why didn't the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam call
on to anyone else if his tiraqa was
permissible for
the mbeah and the awliyah and the saliheen?
He said Inna'ma.
Also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
Whoever now
calls onto
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala someone else,
and he has no proof with him.
For indeed his reckon is only with Allah
in the whole life. For indeed he doesn't
give any success to those who are kfar,
the disbelievers.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us
Those
who they call onto, besides Allah
They don't own anything. They can't do anything
to them.
And when they call on to them, they
cannot hear what you are calling them for.
They do not hear your Dua. And
were they to hear what you are
saying? Were they to hear what you are
saying, they wouldn't be able to respond back
to you.
They will disbelieve in what you lot are
calling
them for.
These deities,
these Gods that you are calling on to
on your Marqima, they will say we got
nothing to do with this.
Enter the roof of laihisma if you were
to call on to them.
They won't be able to hear what you
are making for.
And if they were to hear you, mister
jabulakum.
They wouldn't be able to respond back to
you.
And from the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, you have the hadith of
Abdullah ibn
Masud
He said, I said to the Messenger Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam, You Rasulullah O Rasulullah
Why is the biggest and greatest sin?
The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam replied back
and he said,
that you make a need.
A deity besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
He created you. And I will explain what
nid means.
It is to make a naveer
oal methil.
Someone like Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And a lot of these people, these bravis,
they never understood this and because of this
they fell into whatever they fell into.
It's tiraathah.
Getting some aspects that are specific to Allah
and then giving it to Allah
because they never understood this. And please brothers
and sisters, pay attention. And
what is intended by it? Like I mentioned,
to make something like Allah Azul. How do
I do that?
By getting some of the things that are
specific to Allah azza wa Jal. Now giving
it to someone else.
I give you an example brothers and sisters,
something to relate to.
A director of a business is normally 1.
A main director.
Mostly, you find 1 director, and everyone else
comes under him.
And this director has a special way, something
that is only specific for him.
Something only specific to him.
£40,000
a year he is earning.
If you now
take that which is specific to him and
give it to someone else. You have made
him a feel right?
You have likened this director
with another one. They become co directors.
They are now
both directors, and it's a problem because normally
when you have 2 bosses in the room,
it's a it's a problem.
Anyways,
you have taken that which is specific to
this direct and given it to someone else.
You have made them alike now. They are
both the same.
When it comes to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
I'm not trying to like Allah to the
creation at all.
Salat
is specific to Allah right?
If you now take this Ibad that is
specific for Allah as a wajal and you
give it to someone else. You made an
adir, you made a mithiyu.
Someone like Allah as a wajal.
And likewise when you now make dua to
other than Allah azza wa Jal. You have
done the exact same thing. Most people they
agree when it comes to the salat, we
don't give it to anyone besides Allah azza
wa Jal because it's ibadah.
But with du'a, no, the matter is a
bit different. Taboo stands as ikhwan.
Salah is a ibadah and likewise a dua
wal ibadah.
As he was narrated by Imam Atirmiddhi on
the authority of Nurman ibn Bashir. Then the
Prophet recited
So brothers and sisters,
if we now agree that salah is a
ibadah, likewise du'as and ibadah, the same thing
applies.
So now you are taking the idah that
is specific for Allah and giving it to
someone else.
You have made a nidah
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
From things that are special and specific to
him. You have then given it to Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. That's how you make a
need with Allah Azza wa Jal.
And then you have the Ijma.
Waqad Ajma'al Ulamawalaman
And the scholars have unanimously agreed upon that
the one who does this action, he's a
kafir. He has left affordable Islam. And
there is more than one person that has
transmitted a unanimous agreement. A consensus is
And you can take these
quotes from these great scholars that I am
about to mention. Ibn Mufi Rahimullah Ta'ala is
Kitab al Fruww, he said,
This is now similar now to what?
Ahabidi Islam.
Those who worship the Islam.
Saying that we do not worship them except
that they get us closer to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. Just a little bit.
So going back to ranaqid.
To place an intermediary between you and Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Let's just say you have this statue or
you have this person in the grave. You
call on to them asking them to get
you closer to Allah azza wa Jal.
Or asking them
to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
to give you a
son. This is exactly the same as those
before us.
Someone who is excessive in kufr.
The one, those people in the past who
placed between them
a wasayd.
They used to ask them
to bring them closer to Allah azza wa
jal.
And the Prophets between him and Allah calls
onto them and he puts his trust into
them.
And
ask them to bring about benefit and also
remove hardship.
Like you ask them to forgive the sins,
and also to,
guide the heart, and also to remove problems,
anxiety,
distress. Wasadul Fakhaat. And to block the problems
that this person has. For kafir which man
must mean. This person will kafir through a
unanimous agreement of the Muslims.
Even Imam Mardawi Rahimullah Ta'ala he says, feeling
soft.
Brothers and sisters,
I want to now point out,
how do you know
when
something is Ibadah.
When something is Ibadah and this requires you
to write it down.
Firstly if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded you
to do it.
If allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded you to
do it or the prophet sallallahu alaihi was
done
it point number 2 if
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala his messenger
attached a Tawab to it
Attached a reward to it.
Point number 3.
If
this person who is doing this action has
been mentioned in a context of satisfaction.
Like Allah Subhanahu being pleased with him. Or
in
a
positive
in
a positive context.
Hanakidalik,
this is also
It's also Ibadah. How do I know when
Ibadah is? That's how you know when Ibadah
is.
That Allah is pleased with this person.
Tawab is connected to its reward and it's
from the things that Allah commanded in Messenger
Sallallahu Alaihi wa suntan.
So if you note that down you will
know
So that you are able to make your
actions and safe for Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. Also, Nitayeem Rahim Allahu Ta'ala said,
It's a comprehensive
word.
It's a comprehensive word.
Everything that Allah is well loved and is
satisfied with.
From the
statements and the righteous actions.
Internally and externally. Now brothers and sisters, inshallah
wahtahala, I want to mention some of the
greatest doubts that these,
people who grave worship
bring.
Okay. And if you understood what we mentioned
in this episode,
you will come to know that Allah Adam
doubts that took place in the
debate that we had, me and Ustad Abdul
Rahman with Asrar Rashid, who is the one
of the heads of
the Asharis but also the Brelevis, but he
will deny this
Naam,
and some of the doubts that they bring
because they all bring the same doubts anyway
and they're all upon the same minhaj.
Okay. And I want to touch on this
inshallah wata'ala.
If you just study and you learn what
we mentioned,
you will realize
that just these basic books that we are
studying these people
have not studied because of this. They've fallen
into whatever they've fallen into.
Wallahi brothers and sisters, this is why the
mashaikh, they keep saying
these are books that one should study and
go over all the time all the time.
There's one book that we had called Tajridu
Tawhid
by Sheikh Fayez al Jazim.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless him. It
was one of the books that kind of
compiled some of their doubts.
Even though there was a lot of books
there, that was one book that I felt
like
kind of was
it's like we didn't need anything else. I
actually genuinely thought that he was going to
bring a lot of things, So hence why
we had a lot of books, but he
didn't go outside that book. And our sheikh,
may Allah bless him, face and judge him.
He done very good work on some of
their doubts.
One of the biggest doubts that they bring,
brothers and sisters,
is okay.
You don't say that the death can benefit.
Alright?
You say that the death can benefit.
Why is it that when
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went up
to
Isra wal Mi'raj.
And Musa alaihi wasallam benefited the messenger sallallahu
alaihi wasallam even though he's dead.
He said to
him, When he was 50 salawat, Musa said
to him, go back to your Lord. For
indeed your Ummah, your people,
they won't be able to
pray this
large number of salawat.
So here the dead, he benefited
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So based upon this, they will say to
you, okay.
The prophet got benefited by a dead person.
So these dead, they can benefit us as
all.
Rada brothers and sisters, This
is a statement that is absolutely Batil. It
can be rebuked from different angles.
Firstly, brothers and sisters,
first point,
you have
the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
He left this dunya that we are currently
living in and he went into the hayatul
barzakh. We know the 3 lives, right? You
have the hayatul dunya, Hayatul Barzakh which is
between
when a person dies
till
the day or when a person goes into
jannah.
Then you have the life from the Hereafter.
These three lives.
So the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam brothers
and sisters,
he left his life and he went into
the hayat al barzakhih. He went into that
life.
And at the same time Musa was present
in front of him.
And we say brothers and sisters that you
can
make a request or do Istighaza
when three conditions have been met.
That person is living,
he is also able and he is also
present there in front of you.
He is present.
And then you can ask for him to
benefit you. If you want to remove the
harm that someone is about to do against
you. Ask him to do that with these
three conditions.
So Musa
was there in front of him and was
able to benefit him. So he left that
life he went into the hayat al barzakhir
and this is where the benefit took place
but never ever will the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam put his hands up and make Dua
or Musa help me while he's in this
life and Musa's not in front of him.
Okay. Someone might say and this is what
they say all the time. Where did you
all get these three conditions from?
Where did you all get these three conditions
from? You are bringing about innovation, making your
own conditions and general principles.
Rather through tatabbu and istikra.
We took you out of the statement of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
In the time of Musa,
a man was being beaten up.
So, this man from Bornu Israel, he called
on to Musa 'alayhi wa sallam, Musa help
me.
Okay? So he called on to Musa to
help him. Was Musa living? Na'am. He was
there in front of him. Living.
Was he in front of me? Was he
present? Was he Harvard? Yes, he was there
present.
Was he Qadr?
Did he have the ability to die? No.
He did.
Musa
fakhaddha'alai. So Musa punched him and he died.
He said this from the actions of the
Shaitan. He was regretful for killing him. The
point is Allah used the way this tira'ath
of this man who was in front of
him. And he knows his tira'ah through Musa
alaihis salatu wa sallam, so he's permissible.
Point number 2.
We have the understanding of the Sahabr adduanullahi
alayhi. And brothers and sisters pay attention to
this.
It's not my understanding that governs us, nor
my sheikh's understanding, nor your sheikh, or my
uncle, or your dad, or your mom.
Rather it's the understanding of the sahabah that
governs us.
We are governed by their understanding. Quran, Sunnah,
When a famine took place
and has no water, it's from the essentials
of life.
Did the Sahaba go to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam's grave?
To do isisqa or to do isigathah?
It's a time of hardship. The answer is
no. They didn't. They didn't, brothers and sisters.
In the time of Amrul Khattab, if famine
took place,
He asked Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa'alehi because he was righteous. Oh
Abbas, luis siskha.
Ask Allah to bring down the rain.
Was Abbas able? Yes. Qadr.
Was he Haldar? Was he present? Yes. Was
he Hayyun Nam? He was living.
So
all of these brothers and sisters
was present.
And then after that the rain came down.
They had the ability to go to the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's grave.
The Prophet told us, 'If you ask, ask
Allahuja.
And there is a hadith
which our brother was served as Rahman, he
left it right in the end as a
back breaker.
Where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
You do not do Istiqaah through me, you
only do Istiqaah with Allah
If a person is present,
we can.
Like asking a person that is present and
living, oh guide my heart. This is shirk
because he doesn't have the ability to do
that. Change my heart. La, it's from the
things that are specific to Allah as a
wajid.
And also the other thing that he say
is that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is
living, so he's able to benefit us and
he's not dead.
Again he goes against the no source.
Goes against the Nulsus. 1st
Yahweh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
He tells us in the Quran
You are going to die and they are
going to die as well.
Allah says also
Every soul will taste death.
Every soul. Are you
now with me brothers and sisters?
And you also have the statement of Abu
Bakr radiAllahu anhu when he died.
And he said, ijma'a. There is a unanimous
agreement of Sahabi who died in front of
them.
He mentioned, and you can find Sahih Bukhar,
not even a long book in Sahih Bukhar,
the most authentic book after the book of
Allah. He said,
Whoever used to worship Muhammad and Muhammad has
died.
And whoever used to worship Allah, for when
Allah is, hey, He is living and He
doesn't die.
What does it show you? The closest companion
to the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
claiming this.
And then they say to you, okay, but
then you have the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Never does a person send salutations upon me
except Allah returns
my soul.
So these people who are giving salutations upon
the Prophet all day every day, firstly that's
something that you cannot guarantee for me.
Because you don't know what's going on in
the cone, in the universe. About every you're
telling me every, you know, every
moment that a person is.
That's something that is Kalam Farid anyway. And
secondly, this proof brothers and sisters is proof
against them. And I'll tell you why. Just
looking at the hadith.
He says,
There's not a person that sends salutations upon
accept the Allah as well returns
my soul.
If the Prophet was still living, why would
he need to say return my soul? That
shows the prophet is dead, then Allah returns
his soul. He gives the salams back and
that's it. Same process.
The third doubt that they have.
And only when they oppressed themselves.
And when they oppressed themselves, they came to
your messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
And the messenger sought forgiveness for them, they
would have found Allah as they were tawab
and Rahima.
They would have found Allah as they were
jal as
forgiving them and very merciful.
So brothers and sisters, they use this a
lot at the time. Okay. We can go
to the
Messenger and seek forgiveness.
Brothers and sisters,
here,
you can look at the books of
it is past tense. It is past tense
and we dealt with this in the
debate. We dealt with it in the debate.
So it's something that has already taken place.
And if you want more information, go back
to it inshallah.
Ta'ala.
Insha'ala brothers, in the next episode, we will
cover,
the 3rd nagid which
is
