5 - Three Fundamental Principles Expl Sh Zayd - Abdulhakeem Mitchell | Manchester

There are two type of worship:
1. worship other than Allah
2. Worship for Allah 



Worship other than Allah is incorrect and if the person does so then they will be committing shirk.This worship is not established upon logic nur upon the text ( Quran and Sunnah). 
If a person accepts that it’s Allah who created him, provided and give him everything , so therefore this necessitates that they should dedicate all his worship for Allah alone. 
Additionally, It is not found in the text (i.e the Quran and sunnah) that any form of worship should be dedicated to other than Allah. Rather we find the opposite that we should dedicate ALL our worship to Allah and NOT dedicate it to other than him.
If person dedicate their worship other than Allah then this person is arrogant and he is under the threat of Allahs punishment. 

The intellect is not the only means for coming to the truth
The texts are upon completion /perfection
The intellect is a tool used in reaching the truth

Asking of Allah is from Imaan. The creation becomes fatigued when they are asked, wheres Allāh command us to Ask Him
continuously


The Shayatin come to a person and try to cause them to despair, as this makes a person easier for them to misguide. Supplicate to Alläh &amp; do not rely solely on the means
"So do not fear them, but fear Me if you are truly believers” 5:23


The people of Imaan have been warned of having fear (of a worship) towards the creation 
Fervent Desire - Raghbah
Fear - Khawf
All of the previously mentioned forms of worship are for Allah alone, so anyone that directs them to other than Him has committed Shirk/ Disbelief


2nd Principle / Foundation 


knowledge of the religion of Islam with it's proofs
Those who seek to reject the da’wah try to throw doubt upon the one that is calling
This is because they cannot refute the truth.
The Hadith of Jibreel covers the foundations of the Deen (Islam, Imaan, Ihsaan)

General: What the prophets and messengers called to
Specific: The Deen which was brought by way of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam)
Surrender to Allah by way of tawhid, submission to him by way of obedience, and freeing oneself from shirk and the people of shirk.

Entering into Istam requires affirmation and negation
Affirmation - Tawhid &amp; Submission
Negation - Shirk &amp; it's people
To Allāh belongs all praise for all the blessings that we cannot enumerate

It is upon every single muslim to freeing oneself from the sin &amp; the sinner, must hate the sin and the sinner.

Those who are upon shink are enemies to Allah, His Prophets, and His Deen. Therefore, it is upon us to hate them due to this enmity that they have.

You cannot hold the rights of the creation in high regard while disregarding those of the Creator.
