Kashf ush-Shubuhaat - The removal of the doubts

Shaykh Abū Khadījah, delivers a series of eye-opening lectures on how to establish an Islamic home (from the July 2016 Life of a Young Muslim Seminar).

Part Three

Take Your Amānah Seriously

Allāh gives great significance to the upbringing of the youth. He places tremendous responsibility on parents and guardians. So parents/guardians, pay attention to what comes into your home. Keep it free of things with little or no benefits, such as the internet and the television. Remember that the youth are your inheritors; If they are righteous and pious, they will be an extension of the life of their parents and they will be a pillar of strength for the daʿwah. The Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, “When the son of Adam dies all of his deeds will be lost except three” - the third one being a righteous child who makes duʿā for his dead parents. So parents/guardians emulate the Salaf in how they nurtured and cultivated their children. Ensure that your children grow up with good habits and firm grounding on the correct understanding of the dīn. Parents/guardians, take your amānah seriously!

Speech from Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullah ta’aala) from his book Al-Irshaad regarding:

a) connection and relationship between the categories of Tawheed such as between Ruboobiyyah and Uloohiyyah, and vice versa, 3 types of relationship mentioned and 

b) meaning of Rabb and ‘Ilah, whether when mentioned together or separately.

14.07.2015 - Our brother Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah) explained in his lecture entitled, “The Sunni Guards His Companionship” as part of Mpubs’ Ramadhaan Reminders 2015 that from the greatest foundations of the Deen is to warn against and abandon innovation and its people. He further elucidated that the ahaadeeth regarding the rights of a Muslim and the prohibition of boycotting your Muslim brother are not absolute and should be used in their proper place. So when one weighs the benefits and harms, it is evident that the great harms of mixing with the people of innovation (for the sake of friendship) far outweigh any good that could be brought about. However, if a person of knowledge and insight were to mix with them in order to refute their falsehood and clarify the truth, then no doubt - by the Permission of Allah - this could result in much good.

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.

Introduction to the book.
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Know — may Allāh have mercy upon you — that Tawhīd (Islāmic monotheism) is to single out Allāh (وتعاىل سبحانه (alone with all worship. It is the Religion of all of the Messengers whom Allāh has sent to His servants.
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.

Today we covered:

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

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. 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.

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

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 16 (19/12/20)

8th DOUBT – Their claim: “Shirk is worshipping idols but we do not worship idols”

Then know that the Shirk of the earlier generations was not as severe as the Shirk [practiced] in our time for two reasons:
1.	The First Matter: The earlier people did not commit Shirk and supplicate to the angels, awliyā’ and idols except in times of ease, whereas in times of hardship they would supplicate purely to Allāh, as Allāh says: “And when faced with adversity at sea, those whom you invoke besides Him disappear. But when He delivers you to land you turn away. Ever is mankind ungrateful.” [Sūrah al-Isrā’ 17:67] 

And He said: “Say: Haven’t you considered that if the punishment of Allāh reached you, or if the hour was established, would you call upon other than Allāh; if you should be truthful. But no, it is Him alone that you would call upon, and He would remove the reasons for which you called upon Him - if He so willed - and you would forget what you used to associate with Him.” [Sūrah al-An’ām 6:40-41] 

And He said: “And if mankind is touched by hardship, they call upon their Lord turning to Him alone.” [Sūrah al-Zumar 39:8] 

Until His statement: “Say: Enjoy your disbelief temporarily; indeed you will be from the people of the Hellfire.” [Sūrah al-Zumar 39:8] And He said: “And when they are engulfed in waves like mountains they call upon Allāh sincere in their Religion to Him” [Sūrah Luqmān 31:32]

So whoever understands the affair which Allāh has clarified in His Book – which is that the polytheists whom the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم (fought against used to call upon Allāh and other than Allāh in times of ease – while in times of difficulty and hardship they would not call upon anything besides Allāh without a partner and they would forget about calling upon the righteous from amongst them – then it would become clear to this person the difference between the Shirk practiced by the people of our time and the Shirk of the earlier generations. But where are those who truly understand this matter with conviction of their heart? And aid is sought from Allāh.

2.	The Second Matter: That the earlier generations used to call upon people besides Allāh that were close to Allāh whether it was a Prophet, the awliyā’, Angels, or they would call upon trees and stones, all of which are obedient to Allāh and do not disobey him. 

However, the people of our time call upon people who are from the most disobedient of individuals, and those who call upon them are the ones who have mentioned their sins like fornication, theft, abandonment of prayer and other than this.
So the one who believes this about the righteous person or the one that cannot be disobedient like the wood or stone is less severe than the one who believes this belief about a person who he knows to be immoral, corrupt and renowned for these things.
Today we covered:
•	The belief of the mushrikoon
•	It is only Allaah that you call upon
•	All the above Ayaat are in reference to the mushrikoon that called upon Allaah in difficulty 
•	Q&A session
