Okay? So these people who say hulul and
I tihad
that Allah
is mixed within His creation.
So, those people who say that Allah
is everywhere,
Allah
is inside me, He's mixed within me.
Allah is what?
He's also inside everything. You saying, He's in
everywhere, means inside
the urine, he's inside the sewage, he's inside,
the river, he's inside
the pool, in the numbers. Wait. He's inside
all of his stuff,
and he's everywhere, and he remains like this.
While there,
he remains like this. This is the statement
of the Itihadiya.
This is the statement of the
they say that Allah is in sometimes, he's
in certain places mixed, but he can separate
from it.
Okay?
So this is the difference between the 2
ibn al Taym
is trying to say that
their kufr is worse than the kufr of
the nasaara.
It's worse than the kufr of nasaara. So
this person
We can't say to this person, okay, what's
the situation of Ibn Arabi?
And
And he goes, brother, I don't know. Are
you gonna declare to be a kafir? And
he doesn't know the situation.
He doesn't know why they are kufar.
So you need to make it clear to
him his situation
and then after that make it clear to
him why Allah SWAAM contradicts this matter.
So Allah be the Thani,
the second now principle
The kufr that this person is upon
if someone has been unanimously agreed upon. It
is known in the religion with necessity.
Okay, let me give you an example, my
brothers and sisters. Tariq Salat.
Tariq Salat, the person who abandons the prayer.
Okay. There is a strong opinion, strong view,
that the person who abandons the prayer out
of laziness, we're not talking about the guy
that negates and he goes, it's not upon
me. That guy is kathir. Mujman alaykathir.
Agreed upon. We're talking about who leaves you
off what?
Out of laziness.
There's many scholars
who declare that person to be a kaf
and he's left the fold of Islam. There's
no difference between Mark and Mohammed who doesn't
pray.
And there's other scholars who will say no.
Okay. They say it is the minor kufar.
And the minor kufar sorry. I said, kabir
to me kabir. Minor kufar will normally be
higher than the, major sins.
Okay?
They say it is minor kufr. You have
Imam Ahmed who said it is major kufr.
You live before the Middle East time. You
have Imam Mishaaf, Imam Abu Hanif, and Imam
Malik who say that it is not kufr
and Akbar.
And many scholars have taken the position of
Imam Mohammed and their view is stronger. Why?
Because you have a hadith like
The difference between us and them is salat.
Whoever lives of is a kafir. And also
the same one of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam
between shirk and kufr leaving of the salat
and the same of the sahaba
and other than it. They never used to
see an action that was abandoned to be
what? An act of kufr other than what
salat. Abdullah ibn Sharaykh Al Waqayl said that.
Point is, brothers and sisters, this matter has
been differed upon. This matter has been differed
upon.
Are you not going to say the person
who doesn't take the opinion of that person
now being a kafir, if you don't declare
him to be a kafir or a kafir
as allah?
2nd general principle is guys, brothers
and sisters, there has to be an act
that has been unanimously agreed upon.
Like for example, saying, Zina's halal, that is
something that is known in our religion by
the Alura. This person will be a kafir.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz ibn Baz
he said,
He said about the person who doesn't declare
a person who will abandon the salah to
be a kafir. He
said,
Whoever now doubts the kufr of a person
who abandons the sight,
you can't call him, you can't declare him
to be a kafir, he's not a kafir.
This is a matter that is open for
istihad between the scholars, the people of knowledge.
Also, Abdul Aziz He
said something similar. He said something similar.
He said
Sad, just go back inshallah. So I'm gonna
say this again.
In
his explanation,
Fushar Hinnawakha Islam, he has an explanation
on this.
Now when he talks about this matter, he
says something similar to Sheikh Bimbaaz Rahimahullah
It is important.
LaaBudna is a must.
And Yaqunna,
the one
who
has fallen into this kuffar, who is declared
to be a kafir,
He has done an action that is known
in our religion with necessity.
Whoever now negates
the salah being compulsory is the kafir.
Because the matter of salah being wajib upon
a person is what? Someone has been unanimously
agreed upon.
Unlike the one
who says that, or
the one who says,
that,
the is not haram or is not haram.
These are all matters have been unanimously agreed
upon.
Okay?
As for the matters that have been, you
know, differ upon.
As for the matters which has been, you
know, differ upon,
and there's a,
you know, there's like something that's covering it
that makes it very clear like that, or
it has like, you know, a smoke over
it, then you can't declare that person to
be a kafir.
Okay. Moving on now to the third principle.
Establishing the proof and removing the doubts.
Establishing the proofs and removing the doubts. If
I come to hear that,
a brother of mine, Mohammed,
he has doubts regarding a matter now, he's
doubting
the kufr of this person,
which is a matter of you know, that
matters clear cut, but he himself is doubting,
you need to do a third thing which
is, establish the proof on you, to go
to him.
Muhammad, this is wrong.
Muhammad, this is something that has been unanimously
agreed upon.
He explained to him, You remove the dasihas.
And this is a,
general
condition when it comes to specifically declaring a
passage to be a Kafir and when generalizing.
In volume number 12, 501.
Page 501.
It is not for anyone to declare anyone
from the Muslim to be a kafir
when he makes a mistake
until you establish the proof upon this person
and you clarify the proof to him.
Whoever's iman now has been affirmed with certainty,
that cannot be removed through doubt.
They cannot be removed until you establish the
proofs, and you remove the dots from him.
And there's many statements that Ibn Taym has.
And I'll read another one, in volume 35,
page 99.
A general Takfir, and we've mentioned this before
brother and sister, refer back to
episode 123,
when I talked about the general principles of
takfir.
When I say for example,
whoever does this action is a kafir, it's
general, right? Because I said whoever. But then
specifically I need to look at a situation,
I need to walk to him. That's a
general takfir, I can say it like that.
But the general takfir cannot be specifically applied
to that person individually until you go to
him, you establish the proof and you remove
the doubts.
So he said,
it doesn't necessarily straight away that it is
applied to every individual.
Because you find that some scholars, they might
speak about a matter through
and he makes a mistake.
He cannot be declared a kafir.
Even though you find that
a person who might say the same thing,
but at the same time the Puja, the,
proofs have been established upon him, and that
person now becomes a kafir. But the person
who has made a mistake and before you
go up to him and you establish the
proof and you remove the doubt, you can't
call him, to be a kafir because it
fell into a mistake
and it's a matter of Istihad, and and
matters need to be made clear to this
person.
Okay. And this issue, brother and sister, a
lot of people, they don't differentiate between them.
The general takfir and the specific one. I
might say whoever does this actually is a
kafir,
but then Yaqub does it.
Can I just get that general principle and
apply it to him and drop it on
his head? La Wallahi, I can't.
I have to
clarify, remove the Taafsiyas.
Okay.
Now
brothers and sisters,
I will conclude with
Some groups
or categories
that are very well known for kufr. It's
not possible for a person to doubt their
kufr.
And you find that there is a clear
cut proofs to show that they are kufar.
You find that the Jews and the Christians,
they are kuffar, they are,
disbelievers, they are polytheists.
Allah
tells in the Quran,
They said that Uzair is the son of
Allah.
And the and the Nasara requesting, they said,
that Masih, Jesus is the son of Allah.
The Prophet
said also,
The Prophet swore
by the one who whose
whom my soul is in his hand.
There's not a person who hears about me
from the Jews and the Christians that he
died and they never believed in me.
With that which I was sent with,
except the dispersal was from the people of
the fire. So clearly, Allah
is declaring these people to be kuffar
and the Messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam.
Allah says in another aya,
Those who said that Masih
ibn Mariam is Allah
they have disbelieved.
Those who said that,
Allah is the Holy Trinity.
3.
They have disbelieved.
Allah says in the Quran also,
And many of the ayats
that shows that the Jews and the Christians
are Kufar.
And now brothers and sisters,
I want to move on to the next
part, which is a very important part, something
that a lot of people,
have misunderstood.
Okay? And which can, you know, cause one
to have confusion in regards to this issue,
that which is pertaining brothers and sisters,
the ignorant
and followers
of the
the grave worshipers?
Why is there ruling upon the ignorant ones,
the blind followers of these
these grave worshipers
and other learn from the Kufar.
I'm not saying that
speech which was comprehensive that I want to
read and
conclude
this
with, the 3rd nullifier.
He mentioned in his where
he was speaking about the different groups that
are going to be held to account.
In the hereafter, those who are going to
be held to account in the hereafter, Yomul
Qiyamah.
And this is the Tabaka, Tul Muqalideen
wajuhal
kuffar.
Okay. And this is the group where which
talks about,
those blind followers and the ignorant ones of
the Kuffar.
Nam.
What were him and also their followers?
He mentioned
Allahu
Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he judges between
his servants
with his wisdom and also with fairness.
And Allah will punish
won't punish
anyone except
that the proofs have been established to this
person through the messengers.
And this is something that is certain from
Allah with,
his creation.
As for specifically looking at Zaid specifically and
Amr specifically,
whether the proofs have been established to him,
Nam or not. And, you know, the Arabs,
they tend to use the names,
and
as like how the English speakers, they use,
every they can hurry, okay, to just basically
point out every,
individual specifically now.
Whether the proofs have been established to him
or not. Okay? Now, for example, brothers and
sisters,
we
have Kufar,
who are blind followers,
who are living maybe,
in India,
Okay?
Who may have been upon a certain religion
all their lives.
Okay? And they are ignorant. They They haven't
studied their religion. They're ignorant and they die
upon that. What would their situations be? This
is the kind of situation Noontay Muhammad is
talking about.
Okay? This is something that one cannot enter
into because it's from the things that are
between Allah and his servants.
Islami,
which is wajib upon a servant to believe
that anyone who
takes on a religion other than the religion
of Islam is kafir. So you're just basically
from the apparent. Anyone who takes a religion
other than the religion of Islam is a
kafir.
As for you specifically asking, okay, what about
that person? You know, did the proofs get
established on him? What's the situation? Is he
a kafir? Should we call him a kafir
or not? You judge from their parent. If
he dies and he was ignorant, blind follower,
his hisab is with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
we also also believe,
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala won't punish
anyone from his service except after the proofs
have been established upon him. Hadafiljumlah, this is,
you know,
as a whole.
As for specifics,
then this goes back to Allah
and this goes back to his wisdom.
This is
from the matters pertaining
whether he will be
rewarded on Yom Rakam or whether he will
be punished.
As for the rulings pertaining this dunya,
That which we basically,
roll upon, brothers and sisters, that which is
upon the apparent.
Methanine, for example, the babies
of the kuffar,
the young ones of the Kuffar, and also
the crazy ones.
What do we say about them? We say
that they are Kuffar
In this dunya, they were Kufar.
They have the ruling of those
who are,
responsible of them,
the guardians.
And this elaboration that Imam Al Khaim is
going to give you now, it will clarify
any problems.
It is basically built upon 4 fundamentals.
The first one.
That Allah will punish anyone except after the
proofs have been established.
Brothers
and sisters,
that punishment,
one deserves it through two reasons.
The first one,
First, you're turning away from what? The religion.
Turning away from the proofs, and not wanting
to know
the knowledge
and that which consists of it.
The second point that the sheikh mentioned in
the second fundamental
Being hard headed.
Being hard headed.
The first type is the type of Kufr
which is turning away. The second type which
is being hard headed.
As for a type of kufr of ignorance
without,
the proof being established upon this person.
