Abu Ukkashah The Three Fundamental Principles Lesson 11 (06/10/2022)

Some of the matters or points covered:

- continuation of Principle/Rule 3) Examining the claim of the Mu’tazilah who say that words have a haqīqah (true and real meaning) and a majāz (allegorical/metaphorical meaning), and a rebuttal of this.
- The concept of haqīqah and majāz is a stepping stone to esoterism and mysticism, a door to great misguidance.
- Several example texts (from Qur’aan and Sunnah – authentic ahadith) mentioned to highlight the dhāhir in each case.

Taqreeb at-Tadmuriyyah - Lesson 24

Book of Manners & Good Etiquette from Bulugh Al-Maram - Ex of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan Lesson 14

Today (7.01.24) we will be covering إن شاء الله:

Whoever follows innovation has rejected the Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)

Know that the ancient religion is how it was from the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) until the death of ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (radiallaahu anhu). His murder was the beginning of sectarian dissension and the start of disagreements. So the Ummah fought amongst itself, split, followed greed and desires and inclined towards this world. There is no permit for anyone to do anything which has been introduced, which the Companions of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) were not upon, nor for any man to call to anything innovated before him by people of innovation; he would then be just like the one who innovated it. So anyone who claims that, or speaks according to it, has rejected the Sunnah, opposed the truth and the Jamaa’ah and has made innovation lawful. He is more harmful to the Ummah than Iblees.

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 01 (29/02/20)

The biography of Shaykh Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahaab

Today’s lesson was an Introduction into the book which is written by Shaykh Al-Fawzan.

Shaykh Al-Fawzan said. “Before we begin the actual book, we will speak about the author. So, the student of knowledge has an actual understanding of who the scholars are.”

Today we covered:

•	Shaykh Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahaab was born in the area of Ul-Uwaynah in the year 1115 Hijri. It is the North of the city of Riyadh.
•	Shaykh Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahaab was raised in a household of knowledge
o	His father was the judge of the area
o	His grandfather, Suleman was the mufti and the scholars would return back to.
o	His paternal uncles were all known of people of knowledge
•	From a young age Shaykh Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahaab was studying learning from his own father and uncles
•	He memorised the whole of the Qu’raan before the age of 10 years old from his father.
•	At a young age he was reading into the books of hadith and tasfeer. He had a good level of understanding and knowledge at a very young age.
•	His father and the other scholars were amazed at his level of ability
•	He used to engage in conversations with them to the extent that the elders would benefit from him.
•	Even after taking from his father and uncles he was still not content. He then travelled out for knowledge. It was known from the salaf that they would study with the scholars in their region. Then after taking from the local scholars they would travel out and seek scholars in other areas.
•	He then travelled to go and preform Hajj. After Hajj he went to Madinah and met with the scholars in the Prophets ﷺ mosque.
•	The Shaykh even went to Basara - Iraq to seek knowledge and benefit from the scholars there.
•	After all of his travelling he intended to go to Shaam and benefit from more of the Scholars. However, as he made his way to Shaam he was about to die as he ran out of food and drink. So, he then returned back to Basra and equipped himself with more knowledge.
•	It was at this point when the Shaykh began his time in giving dawah.
•	When he returned to his homeland, he saw the evil which was being committed. He considered that he cannot stay silent whilst this evil was taking place.
•	The scholars of the area at that time were mostly focused on issues of fiqh, not aqeedah.
•	As for the aqeedah of the salaf there were very few that were focusing on that.
•	Many of the people were given in by the Bid’ah and Shirk they were upon. Many of them were grave worshippers, seeking intercession with the dead. They used to ask from the trees as they believed that they had Barakah in them.
•	When he saw the state of the muslims he was inclined to give dawah to the people
•	The books of Shaykh Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahaab – He wrote many books. The greatest of them.
o	Kitaab At Tawhid – The right of Allaah upon his Servants
o	Kashf ash-Shubuhaat
•	There were many people who were against the Shaykh and some of the people made so called refutations of the Shaykh.
•	The Shaykh clarified all of there refutations and hence made the book – Kashf ash-Shubuhaat.
•	Ustaadh Taqweem explains and gives a definition of the word – Doubt. Kashf means to expose those doubts and to separate those doubts. To remove the covering of something to expose it.

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
The first of them was Nūh (السالم عليه .(Allāh sent him to his people after they began to exaggerate in their reverence towards the righteous people: Wadd, Suwā', Yagūth, Ya’ūq and Nasr. The last of the Messengers was Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم ,(and he is the one who destroyed the depictions of these righteous men.
Allāh sent him to a people who used to worship, perform pilgrimage, offer charity, and they would remember Allāh often. But these people used to make some sort of the creation as intermediaries between them and Allāh. They would say: “We only desire from them that they bring us closer to Allāh. We only seek their intercession with Allāh.” They used to seek this from the likes of the Angels, ‘Īsā (السالم عليه ,(Maryam and other than them from the people of righteousness.

Today we covered:


•	The evidences in the Qur’aan that affirm the categories of Tahwid
•	The whole book is in refutation of people who say that we can call upon 3rd party entities
•	How the categories of Tawhid connected
•	How shirk first began
o	At the time of the people of Prophet Nuh, there were righteous people that lived in that 10th generation.
o	When they died the community were left grieving, in a state of loss.
o	Shaytaan, for the first time in 10 generation he saw an opportunity to exploit the people at their loss.
o	The shaytaan came to the people and reminded them of the righteous people and suggested that they should go to their graves so that you can be reminded how righteous they were and could build your eemaan.
o	Shaytaan then mentioned that they should stay there for hours at a time to remember how pious they were. So the people starting to do as he suggested.
o	Shaytaan then encouraged the people to make some figurines/ representations of them in your villages and gathering places. So that you can see them and remember and reflect.
o	Shaytaan then waited for years to pass and came to the people again. He explained to them that the idols were made by their forefathers and they should worship them. So the people started to worship the idols and this is where shirk began. 
•	The conditions of being a companion

Allāh sent him to a people who used to worship, perform pilgrimage, offer charity, and they would remember Allāh often.

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 10 (26/09/20)

1st DOUBT — The claim that the one who acknowledges Tawhīd ar-Rubūbiyyah and only intends intercession from the righteous is not a Mushrik 
From their statements is their saying that: “We do not make Shirk with Allāh rather we bear witness that no one creates or sustains; or can benefit or harm except Allāh alone with no partners. And Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (cannot even bring about benefit or harm to himself, so how much more so ‘Abd alQādir or other than him? But I am sinful, and the righteous possess a lofty station with Allāh, so I beseech Allāh by way of them.”
So answer him with the response that has already preceded and this is that those people whom the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم (fought against used to affirm all what you have mentioned. They used to admit that their idols did not control anything and that they only turned to them for their lofty station and for their intercession. Then recite for him what Allāh mentions in His Book and further clarifies.
2nd DOUBT — The claim that worshipping other than Allah only occurs in worshipping idols and NOT with the righteous
Today we covered:

•	The first Doubt:
•	The mushrikoon used to say, “We do not commit shirk alongside Allaah.”
•	They used to affirm the ar-Rububiyyah of Allaah
•	The intercession of the mushrikoon
•	Soorah yunis ayah 31 “Say to them, who sustains them and provides for them. Who is the one that brings life after death, surely they will say Allaah.”
•	Tawhid is not just restricted to just ar-Rububiyyah
•	Q&A session
