As I mentioned yesterday,
today
would begin a series
of
lectures or presentation
on fundamental
fundamental areas of Islamic knowledge, which each of them should have
some idea about to help him in his practice,
to understand the responsibility
that each and every one of us shoulders, when he says that he is
the first of the series of presentations or lectures will be concerning.
Yesterday, I gave you a brief introduction to this topic,
today, we will start to look at it in more detail.
Arabic means,
unification
to try to bring some things together
to unify
the context we talked about how Hebrew
we are obviously not talking about unifying a lot, because when you unify something
or the term unification, it implies that there were things that are separate, you are bringing them together
and the law
we do not consider being separate and we have been locked together. So, common Islamic point of view
cannot be understood from literal Arabic
Meaning,
what it means,
generally, is to conceive of the law
as one
in all of the various actions, same practices that we do
in everything that we consider to be acts of worship,
everything that we do
with a law in mind,
we do it
keeping
not only in theory, but in practice the fact that law
so, we practically

Now,
in order to understand these concepts
or all of the different implications of these concepts
of the past have divided the study
into three basic areas.
And this division
doesn't have to be three it could be
or it could be one wearing, all of the aspects are expressed
this division into three should not be looked at the
division and even the term tawheed itself as a science when we think of the scientist
It is something which you will not find

And you will not find actually anywhere where

said that the first thing you should call
Let me say,
this was the first thing that he was commanded by the
people
from this same verb,
when you say a lot is,
also comes from the same
information.
That is science, which is only the scientists of this was not something which was taught, as I am willing to go into the details of it
directly.

science of prayer
in the form that
the sciences,
which I will be going into, this was not
the way that I'm going to be explaining,
to think that if you want
to find your pilot anywhere you want to go, where did he
go understand that it has its origins in the teachings of the pilot, because whatever I'm going to explain to you it will be based on
the basis of the religion.
It's not a question of my opinion, in your opinion, his opinion
from the center. But what happens is that, in science, sciences have a world of arithmetic, for example, science.
That funky with
the way you
know, there's not

conditions for
the ninja Sciences is a rule in later times, as the scholars gathered the information that had been handed down
and began to categorize it into different categories to make it easier to study,
easier to understand.
And what we should understand also is that

time
development of the Muslim community, which did not exist in the time of the Prophet
when the leadership of Islam shifted,
what was truly
which was with the will of the people,
period of omiya.
This is when, during this period, when the leadership change,
there was a change in the
teaching
or in the
teaching,
which
has no chance to develop
properties
and teachings were appalled by the leadership of Islam all the way down to the average person
into Egypt, into
Syria, Palestine, Turkey, India,
Sudan, in some areas, where people have their own philosophy.
In Egypt, Egypt, Alexandria, the center of Christians, polishes for many hundreds of years.
There were great schools of philosophy.
Around rounds, they have
their own system of philosophy which evolved
People who had their own ideas about who God was.
And why man's relationship to God.
When these people entered Islam, during the time of
the teachings of Islam were very clear, very strongly supported by the, the leadership, as well as by the community as a whole.
When the leadership and the quality of leadership change,
then you found that the leadership does not have the cameras concern to protect the teachings of Islam that existed earlier period at the time of
Russia.
So, what happened is that
those people
accepted Islam
during the earlier period, not because they believed in Islam, but because the force of Islam was so strong, they could not afford it militarily. They accepted Islam,
you know, as they cover for their own activities, and they continue to work
internally.
So when the time has
ended, and the leadership change, then these people now started to talk about things which are contrary to economic concepts.
And
also, to be fair, there are also people who join me sincerely.
But because of the
understanding that they've had, prior to
some of this, which was not clarified when they first read this, they also
and
they introduced also ideas which were foreign.
such ideas didn't have any chance to grow. If a person express an idea to be immediately dealt
with when the leadership change, and they didn't care anymore about protection of Islam, the only protection of themselves and their own
power, we find that these ideas started to spread and then became the job of the Muslim scholars to
protect the oma from the
time, they gathered the arguments of the people
and went back to the four islands
and
refuted these arguments in a systematic fashion.
And the reputation of these arguments is what produced the science of
the reputation arguments,
which were brought

is divided into three basic areas.
The first area is known as
Ruby
or unity.
The second is known as copied as
the Unity

And the third is known as
an A vada
which is known as the unity of worship.
There are three

The first section
and the term will be a comb through the Arabic word.
You know when we say a lot,
he denies

This is in reference to

That a law is the creator and Sustainer of
what it
is that nothing happens in the universe, except by a law, which
we saw yesterday recently about destiny,
the concept of destiny comes within this
aspect of
nothing takes place in the universe, except by
what
it is all by a lot.
And although
we do not say that a lot,
which does take place in the world, is ultimately
divine.
And alive even told us
to seek refuge from that in which he creates
the second last hoorah we say,
refuge in the Lord of the dice,
from the evil
there is,
for example, you may be eating a piece of fish
in a fishbowl
that's the rest of the hospital, then you have to cut off a year here.

Because that same fishbowl was inside of the dish, it was good for the fish
to keep his body together,
this is what we talked about some things that
are evil from the point of view that even the intent behind when a person chooses to eat

Because
of the fear of the beaver is a amazing, wonderful thing.

he's thankful a lot of work

So even though the vaccine which he considers to be evil, there is
if we recognize that it is in fact, part of life,
and
if we're patient and maintain our faith.
So we're getting there
and all the rules take place in the universe ultimately is by a lot.
So what this means to us on a very tactical level
is that
we cannot depend
on anything or anyone
to bring good
or perfect

And then also, we have the number 13. To consider unlucky.
And these affect the lives of people
to a certain degree, for example, that if you go to hotel

Without
everything else,

and this is how
in
America, there was one occasion in the 60s, late 60s, when
and Apollo
one of the Apollo moonshot
capsules
and there was something wrong with the rockets, rockets on the capsule. So it appears that this capsule is blowing off into space.
Now, for the Russians,
because the Russians
didn't go right. They just went off in space.
Because people in Russia are expendable.
For the good of the society, they'll sacrifice
whereas in America, it is the opposite people you know each individual his life the concern
that you have people mass murder
100 people and people will be fighting
because if you can bring back the lives of others with you, they will defend the fight and defend the life
for America for one of their capsule, their spaceships to walk with the state of
greatness.
So the American people
they try everything to try to you know,
maybe
not end up in disaster. Eventually, they managed to use the lunar lander
spaceship which was designed, they were able to use the rocket on it to cause the
capsule to come close enough to catch the gravity of the moon, and then circle around the moon and just come back. Guess what, what the mission of landing on the moon, they were just really happy when they finally got it to catch the gravity of the moon circle around come back
down in the Atlantic and they brought them up to the ship and they brought them back to Cape Canaveral came up with helicopter came off. And all the news people are rushing around.
And they talked to the commander of the
ship.
He said
if you see something wrong with the ship beforehand,
this was Apollo 13.
This is a man with a PhD in
the country that he should have happened to because this was

depending on any of these other objects or things to win, it is the opposite of

or depending on any of these things to protect you from evil.
Many people believe that if you are born a certain date,
by consideration considerations have affected you in a certain way, in a way that certain people who specialize in the science of astrology
they're able to predict for you you know what type of personality.
So, if you are born in July, between a certain days and other days you are considering you
know,
variety of different signs which are assigned to you depending on the month in which you're born.
And you have this column

zodiac, you go there,

If you have any plans,
watch out for this person.
So, what are they doing?
They are trying to provide for you a means of avoiding evil and getting good
can they
do that?
What is destined
and alive even told
you
mean
preventing evil in the total sense and any good for yourself other than to the dependent
us and our dependence on the law is
among the things which we call.
Now,
the second
This means
that we understand a lot according to how he has described itself.
We do not describe a lot in ways we cannot describe himself because only allow.
So therefore, we can only describe the law in the ways that God reveals to us to His revelation.
And to his here's
the final theme
in understanding
we do not give a lot of qualities to men.
Normally we give men qualities.
The fundamentals
may 2
There is nothing
we may share with
certain qualities in the sense that we may be merciful.
But our Mercy is
where the laws mercy to be perfect.
So, what it means is that we do not
give
any
abilities, which Allah has described,
we do not give any aspect of his creation, whether it is the Kaaba
or the
any object,
the quantities to being good for us
to prevent people from defaulting
to

Just
out of curiosity, the URL

that
is the question for today in the newspapers. So, you have to go to the house of the fortune teller to the shops to get the information today
in the newspaper, and you learning and reading that is going to the fortune.
When you do so, you're committed
then a lot of

I know some of you might say, well, then what's the point in
looking at the face today
don't want to pay for the next 30 days
because
you're committed an even greater

that's the distinction between us and the disbelievers.
Abandoned this has become a captive
river abandoned spirit as much as becomes a Catholic.
So, if
you pray,
because you have an obligation to pay

and you may be forgiven
if you have more opportunity to get
to be aware of this.
But if you knew
you had heard it before, or you had the opportunity to get this knowledge that you did not then you are held responsible
because speaking of knowledge come from.
So,
this is the severity of the crime

to a fortune teller,

That is

So if you have friends or family, doing the things that you have to try to get them to
stop yourself and also help others
one of the traps
you have people

these days, you protect them from evil.
But in fact, what they're doing is just like the

the world of darkness.
To just read it

This is
a meaningless act. It is an activity which could be a source of punishment for us on the data. Because we might be reading

This is just to say, when we have this life For example, we want to get something done.
Here we have a problem. you as an individual have a problem working in this
you can't just go walking into the
office to hit men not gonna walk into the door. I have this problem No, you have to go to your work supervisor, your supervisor you will talk to somebody else and eventually they will talk to you and your problem will be solved.
How can you stand before a lot
You must call on somebody who is pure, close to God. They call
them to pray.
However when they do, what they have done is they have brought a lot down to the level of
alarm
You know, he does think
he's unique.
If you want to call on Him,
you don't need to call anybody,
only using the restroom and only you
are not as unique
as we used to be here, then we are making a law
you
which is not from it, it is redacted
and the
manner
in which there is nothing which will bring you closer to Allah
without commanding you to do
in other words, anything which can bring you,
I have commanded you.
So,
if we have to do anything, which we feel is pleasing to a lot, which will bring us to a lot, it must be based on a commandment
or a commandment
for it to be an acceptable form of worship.
Otherwise,
we are in fact, worshipping in a way, which is not pleasing to
way which is not acceptable.
So, not only do we have to be sure
that all of our acts of worship are directed.
But they have to be
approved by law.
Now, let's represent these three aspects represent
the fundamental
concept,
the opposite of death, as I said,
the shift
that is the worship of other than
in whatever form it
is, one denied is about existence, than one worship other than
because in denying the existence of God, human beings must
explain their existence by giving the qualities of God to this creation.
Because when you ask the atheist,
how
we came to be where we are today, you will say bye
bye.
And everything when you look into the life of the individual, everything happens is by chance.
So, his destiny, his life, his creation, everything his existence is controlled by
them.
But he has in denial law, he now gives the powers of the law, a blind horse which he called.
And as I said in the lecture, yes.
All of the other religions
that believe in God,
in fact, worship His creation
while believing that they're worshiping God,
and what they're committing in doing that is
the grave
The only unforgivable sin
the major ship, which is the actual act of power,
frustrating to other than a lot and
another aspect which is called miners,
or hidden
and this is doing acts of worship for other than
making solo
and
the person will feel that they
are a
religious man
So, you want to impress him on you know, how good you are. So, you know, instead of being one minute that you usually finish it in five minutes and making very cool
because
this is
you and this can affect the results evenly.
This is one thing that we have to be very careful
that
the nation the body
is like a black
falling on a black soul in the middle of a moonless night
you see a black panther
you may start to do something with a good intention and that intention can change.
So, we have to be very careful about what we do. This is why I emphasize the importance of intention in the comments in the
agenda.
Before we make some
Connect,
before we do any,
anything, which you consider to be good and important, you should try to remember, remember that we're doing it
a lot, so, that we do not fall into it.
So, this is
summarize
the concept of tawheed
in a very simple fashion. In the future session, we will look at some other aspects of the hidden shoe as we look at some of the other areas, which are related to tawheed which affect our life
chances
if your intent is not
to believe that this in some way, shape or form to protect you, what you're wearing before
decorated and of course, we're male
or female,
this would not in itself be
islamically it would be something you would avoid, why? because all it takes is for example for you to have walked away
with this the intense of it being a form of jewelry, not a thing to

to your children and say well, to wear this to protect
your father.
They can now start
thinking that
you can inadvertently cause people to walk straight by
other people may feature your example without understanding why you're doing these types of things, you know things which which people have misunderstood are in confusion as to try to avoid
these which can lead
for example, in a way alcohol was prohibited.
prohibited the containers in which alcohol used to be kept. There are two commandments.
For example, it is not acceptable for you to have a bottle with us to carry you know Johnnie Walker or some
alcohol but you're using it to keep water
unless you have no
desperation. This is all you have
to choose.
Or you may find ornaments, you know they have lampshades or they'll take bottles, Scotch whisky whatever. They're
near the bottom and causes to turn into an ashtray or into a lamp,
you avoid these type of things, which are associated with drinking,
practicing, because people use the violence, it is better to avoid
the thing from my point of view,
our Asian
the tip of the week,
this knee
and after someone did that,
when
people were doing after 30 days,
they have to click the people. And
again, this time
3035 or 40.
And they have
32.
And not only when after 40 days, they're very following, again for
the people
and they're
very different business for
myself is
the idea of
this is based on the teachings and the practices of the Prophet
on the seventh day,
but on the seventh day after the child,
the child is circumcised
here is weight
value in gold is given.
And an animal or two to indicate that male
or female r1 also indicates for male
animals slaughter and the meat is given for
neighbors from eating whatever this is,
this is
from
somebody not able to
do what you can, if you cannot fly.
For them, you just do the circumcision, the sharing of the air, you can't get, they can't afford the gift. So you just do the apple tables, you know, and also the child is named
according to strategy this way, and sometimes they call it the nameserver.
However, you know if for one reason or the other, you're not able to do it on the seventh day.
On another day after that is possible, some recommended like the 14 to 24
hour drive, there's nothing for that.
Matter of fact, he did himself you know when he was
trading going to compensate for multiple
images as the occasion arrives for the festival day is
on the 15th traditionally,
this is wrong.
This is on the 16th without the intention of setting it on the 15th
once you do it believing that it's supposed to be done, because everybody else then it becomes
a switch which in itself may be good and acceptable was around intention can become wrong.
Now in terms of
When a person dies
fast, which is the time
where they gather the people in it, every person thinks that you are pushing images, and they're recycling and all these other you know, and everybody
needs everything. And we say that, when we look at that, and look at what we talked about concerning the recitation of what needs to be said, you can see that this
besides is not being from the practice of problems at all,
he did not do it nor that is combined with besides that, it is no
it is a meaningless ritual being done, which has
the idea of meaning,
asking a lot to give that
to the person with
practice, there are different amongst the scholars as to whether it's accepted.
Now, if we use the
basic principles that work
commands
and what
is what is acceptable, what they did not command
to apply that,
then
we know there is no evidence from the practice of the process.
For the recitation of the giving of the reward,
there's no evidence
we do know that
people to fight
on behalf of some people who are unable to guide
so, here are the acts of worship being done and the reward for it is being given
to
someone else.
The first
one and this was
this was concerning concerning
and if it were also case of the cow is something is owed
on behalf of the Father.
But we
are making
these other forms these were things
some people say when we look at the general principle when the giving of the fasting was allowed and hasn't been allowed to say this principle from that is that doing acts of worship
are separate from others in
this area is a shady area is an area which is weird because
clearly on one
end, he didn't speak on the other
to make analogies in this area.
So these are actually worse.
When it comes down to yourself, you know what you feel is
you feel from the different arguments. This one seems to be okay to you or
your understanding.
And your safest way is to stick to was
that you are sure
the things which
you are certain you do.
You are brilliant. The things you said didn't come on, you are certain that you won't fall into
it.
It can have an
important future
to check to see if they can it is hard for us to stop that people think
well,
what we know is that

And in the next session, we will go into this fortune teller.
Even if I were to just say
some people here today
are someone here today
father is going to pass away
very nicely
here.
This is just the law of coincidences.
And people, many other people who are involved in fortune telling you these possibilities, these generalities 100 people come to
all of these other people the same thing
to people, it actually happens
to people, when it actually happens to them, they will forget all of the other things that they told them.
Same thing happened
to people happens to them. Now, this is just
for those people, when nothing happens, no two people
are going to swear by that
the shame of each other
people continue to go.
And this is why I
made the punishment based on the commandments of God.
Because you
and here's something which happens.
This is why
because it
turns out
some ability
to stay with
some details.
People who are actually able to do it on a consecutive, consistent basis.
We look at
the world of the gym. And the next question is I will look into that world because it is also related to the basic concepts of
how the world
send another person on the ship
one person
then
you ask the person to do something for you. And
he just said to me?
Yes,
sir. I mean, Allah is the one who should be first and foremost. And knowing when you thank him, you're thanking him for
helping you to the agency of this person
to whom I get to thank you.
And,
in fact, a lot of people do. Well, I wouldn't call it
neglect.
As we tend to think the people around us
without thinking
that whenever we give any kind of talk or any kind of discussion, whatever we should,
ensuring that whatever mistakes you give to others, you're recognizing the thank you to alarm above all.
So we try to keep
the part of our normal conversation. It shouldn't be there
when we might affect the person on instant conversation with
them.
Ideally all faces
but the sheer comes when we send this person and we deny
a lot of agency
