Some points discussed during this lesson:

- Recap of the previous lesson.
- The four categories of people as it relates to the actualisation of ‘ibādah and isti’ānah:
- 1. Those who worship Allāh (‘ibādah) and seek His aid (isti’ānah) in doing so. 
- The most excellent and beneficial type of supplication to Allāh. 
- The greatest of gifts a person can be granted. 
- An observation by Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) regarding the thing that all of the reported supplications revolve around. 
- Ibn Taymiyyah’s (رحمه الله) reflection on what he found to be the most beneficial supplication. 
- 2. Those who turn away from worshipping Allāh and seeking His aid.
- The reason they ask of Allāh, if they were to do so. 
- Proof that Allāh gives to even the one most hated to Him. 
- The one who is made distant from Allāh. 
- Clarification that Allāh’s responding and giving or not responding and withholding has no connection to the honour or disgrace of a servant. 
- The importance of istikhārah. 
- “As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in exultation): ‘My Lord has honoured me.’ But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: ‘My Lord has humiliated me!’” [Sūrah al-Fajr 89:15-16]
- True honour, and the sign of true humiliation. 
- 3. Those who worship Allāh but do not seek His aid in establishing that worship. 
- The two groups of people within this category:
- 3.1. The Qadariyyah/Mu’tazilah
- How their deviant belief that man creates his own actions prevents them from seeking Allāh’s aid in worship. 
- 3.2. The Jabariyyah
- What is necessitated by their belief, and how it impairs their worship. 
- Practical examples that highlight how an incorrect belief can be detrimental to a person’s worship and nearness to Allāh. 
- The meaning of Tawakkul, and a similitude that captures the manner in which the servant should depend upon his Lord. 
- “And whosoever puts his trust in Allāh, then He will suffice him.” [Sūrah aṭ-Ṭalāq 65:3]
- 4. Those who seek Allāh’s aid (in order to achieve their worldly objectives) but do not worship Him. 
- Affairs given to both the righteous and sinful. 
- The most ignorant and distant people from knowing Allāh and His religion. 
- The two foundational principles required to actualise إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ. 
- The four categories of people in regard to these two foundations:
- 1. Those who combine ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah. 
- Affairs that are not from sincerity. 
- A beautiful similitude regarding how the people of ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah view those around them. 
- Fuḍayl b. ‘Iyāḍ (رحمه الله) on the meaning of, “Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed.” [Sūrah al-Mulk 67:2]
- “So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." [Sūrah al-Kahf 18:110]
