A Continuation of our on-going Tafseer Ibn Katheer Lesson

Tafseer Ibn Katheer Suratul An'aam Ay 128-129

Covered in this lesson:

Question 50 – What is the opposite of Tawhīd ar-Rubūbīyyah (Tawhīd of Lordship)? – and its answer.

Additional notes:
- Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) answer – “To believe there is another Disposer of affairs alongside Allāh in any of the affairs of the regulation of the creation/world, whether it be bringing something into existence or removing something from existence, giving life or taking life, bringing about good (and benefit) or repelling evil (and harm), or it is to believe someone contends with Allāh with anything of the necessities or requirements of His Names and Attributes such as Knowledge of the Unseen (‘Ilmul-Ghaib), being Mighty, and justified pride through Greatness, Magnificence.”

- Daleel (evidences, proofs) from the Qur’ān for this answer – refer to ayāt; [35:2-3] [10:107], [39:38], [6:59], [27:65] and [2:255] and a daleel from the Sunnah with a hadīth from Sahīh Muslim mentioned.

- Explanation of Shaikh Najmī (رحمه الله) – if anyone believed there is someone who is a controller, regulator or disposer besides Allāh like the Sufiyyah, he is to be considered a mulhid (deviant). This person, their Shirk is greater than Abu Lahab and his likes because they didn’t believe this (unlike the Sufiyyah).

- If there was another partner with Allāh there would be great differing and conflict. If there had been other deities (and not just Allāh), there would have been chaos, glorified be Allāh above what they ascribe to Him.

- Explanation of Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (رحمه الله) – As for Shirk in Rubūbīyyah, it is known that Allāh is the Creator, Owner, Disposer and Regulator of all affairs. The Owner and Regulator follows on from being The Creator.

- Those who made these statues, pictures, forms, it will be said to them (in the Day of Resurrection): ‘Give life to these’ and they won’t be able to.

- Clarification regarding Robotics, AI and automation – how (true) life, creation, has a soul which Allāh creates. He alone brings life from non-life, other than Him cannot do this such as Atheists and Darwinists. They only mimic real life with their inventions, it is all artificial, but they try to make it look as though they are contenders to Allāh, trying to compete with Him.

- A mention of several ways in which Shirk appears – different forms or manifestations of Shirk.

[06/06/2025] Remember Allāh During the Days of Tashrīq - By Abu Fuḍayl ‘Abdur Raqīb حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, Aston, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

- “It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allāh, but it is piety from you that reaches Him. Thus have We made them subject to you that you may magnify Allāh for His Guidance to you. And give glad tidings (O Muḥammad ﷺ) to the Muḥsinūn (doers of good).” [Sūrah al-Ḥajj 22:37]

- The celebration of Tawḥīd in these days of ‘Eid. 

- The prohibition of fasting on ‘Eid and the days of Tashrīq. 

- “And remember Allāh during the appointed Days.” [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:203]

- Ways in which we remember Allāh on the days of Tashrīq. 

- The takbīr after every prayer, and its wording.

- The intent behind ‘Eid. 

- Following the practice of Prophets Ibrāhīm and Muḥammad (عليهما الصلاة والسلام) in mentioning the Name of Allāh when performing the sacrifice. 

- Remembering Allāh upon eating and drinking and not overindulging to the point one is diverted from the worship of Allāh. 

- Prescribed manners when eating and drinking.

- Remembering our brothers and sisters in need who are being relentlessly attacked. 

- Following the way of the Salaf in remembering and glorifying Allāh plentifully in these blessed days. 

- Ḥasan al-Baṣrī (رحمه الله) on the meaning of the supplication, “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!" [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:201]

- The reward for righteous deeds based upon sound knowledge. 

- How eating and drinking can be acts of nearness to Allāh. 

- Warning against being heedless and carrying out acts of disobedience in these days. 

- “Therefore remember Me; I will remember you, and be grateful to Me and never be ungrateful to Me.” [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:152]


Remember Allāh During the Days of Tashrīq By Abu Fudayl

Covered in this lesson:

- Question 55. How many ways or types of indications are there that point to the Names of Allāh? – and its answer.
- Question 56. What is an example of that (i.e. His Names and what they indicate)? – and its answer.
Notes and points of benefit:

- These two questions enter into a very important topic with great significance, in understanding the Names and Attributes of Allāh. Through this one will see the misguidance of Ahlul-Kalām, and what Allāh can be described with and what He cannot be described with.

- Regarding Q55, the answer of Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) which mentions three types/categories:

1) mutābaqah (corresponding, agreement, conformity) – which points to the Essence of Allāh.
2) tadammun -by way of inclusion.
3) iltizām – by way of necessitation.

- Given this is a technical discussion, the example of the word ‘house’ was provided and elaborated upon to assist in understanding and comprehending this subject matter.

- It is futile that the word Ar-Rahīm points to a being without the attribute of mercy. Why have all these Names, do they not point to attributes? This is the way of the Mu’tazilah who affirm the Names but hold there is no attribute behind them, which is futile.

- There is a distinction between Allāh having a Name and the creation having a name e.g. Hakīm – Allāh has this attribute but the creation may not even though someone may be named that name, a person named Hakīm might actually be jāhil.

- The explanation of Shaykh ‘Uthaimīn (رحمه الله).

- Regarding Q56, the answer of Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) where the example of the Names Ar-Rahmān (The Most Merciful) and Ar-Rahīm (The Bestower of Mercy) are provided and how the three types/categories are applied to these two Names, which is also the case with all the rest of the Names of Allāh.
