00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			I've got 5 categories.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			Number 1,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			the description of Allah.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			You can only give the way he or
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			his prophet has described him. You cannot give
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			your own description of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			Number 2,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			you cannot give names to Allah except what
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Allah and his prophet have given him.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			You cannot say Allah is Al Khadib. The
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			Quran says Allah gets angry, but you cannot
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			say the angry one because the prophet and
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Allah never gave that name to him.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			You cannot give the attributes
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			of the creation
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			of Allah to Allah.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			You cannot say he repented like the Bible
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			says, God repented.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			That's the quality of his creation.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			Allah cannot repent.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			You cannot give the qualities of Allah
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			to his creation.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			You cannot say I know a person who
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			is absolutely eternal. No beginning, no end. That
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			is the quality of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			And you cannot give the name of Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			to any of his creation. You cannot call
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			anyone a Rahim.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			If you have to call, you have to
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			add Abdi before it. Abdul Rahim,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			Abdullah.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			In brief, this is Toid al Mustafa.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			And Toid al Ibada means that besides
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			believing in Allah, you only worship him and
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			no one is.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			If you believe in the first two categories
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			of tawhid,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			at the same time you worship somebody else,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			you're breaking the third rule of.
