Ustadh covered in thsi lesson the different types of actions of Ibaadah,

From them is Du’aa, which is one of the best forms of it
It is divided into two types



- Duaa of Ibaadah

Turning to only Allāh in praise
With your wealth, your body, or a combination of the two
A person cannot be upon Tawheed except that they free themselves from Shirk (and its people), which is its opposite (small or large in amount)
Just as one loves the Truth, one must hate Evil
Unlike the Ahmadiyya, who state that there should be “love of all, hatred for none”, we must hate both the sin and the sinner



- Second typye of dua is dua of Asking

Asking Allāh to fulfil your needs in Deen and/or Dunya
Asking for him to remove hardship from your life
When a person seeks something from Allāh, then this is seen as ‘Ibaadah, therefore it cannot be directed to other than Allāh, as that would be to associate partners with Him
An affair/action that can only be fulfilled by Allāh
Seeking from the creation that which is within their ability is not Haraam

Imaan is belief in the heart, statement upon the tongue, and action of the limbs
It increases with obedience to Allāh, and decreases with disobedience of Him, which is obedience of Shaytaan 
Fearing Allāh is attached to your Imaan
Ayah “Do not fear them but fear Me”
This Fear must be alongside Hope and Love
Fear is made up of 3 categories
1. Fear of Shirk
1. The callers to Shirk utilise Fear to call people to Shirk, which nullifies Tawheed
2. Fear of People
1. Leaving off the obligatory acts of worship out of fear of people is Major Shirk. Within it is raising other than Allāh by directing a portion of worship to other than Allāh 
2. Minor Shirk can lead to Minor Shirk
3. Natural Fear
1. Fear of predators, enemies, etc.
2. Not blameworthy
Next week: Different forms of Ibaadah

The 3 fundamental Principles
Believers call upon Allah with Raghbah (Love &amp; Desire) and Reverential Fear (Khawf)
Humility خشوا &amp; خشيا Awe
Fear has two types:

- Natural Fear
- Reverential Fear

The ‘Ulamā possess the most fear of Allāh 
The believe in Allāh, His Book, and His Messenger, and they act upon that knowledge
One must have knowledge of Allāh to Fear Him
From the Qur’ān “Do not fear them, but Fear Me”
‘Inābah - Submission
Recognising the deficit in one's fulfilment of Allah's rights is encouragement for the believer to strive in doing more &amp; better deeds.
‘Isti’ānah - Appealing for Aid and Assistance from Allāh 
This cannot be directed to other than Allah
Anything you seek can only be provided by Alläh, so you must turn to Him 
Seeking the means is permissible, but one must ask Allah for aid &amp; success
“To You Alone we Worship, and to You Alone do we seek help” - Fātihah
Isti’āthah - Seeking refuge with Allah
Istighāthah - Seeking Aid from Allah when in great need
If directed to other than Allah, then it must be from sought from one that is:
1. Able
2. Present
3. If not Present, then they take the Hukum (Ruling) of the one that is (meaning, you can communicate with them)
Seeking aid when these conditions are not met is Shirk.
Adh-Dhabh - Slaughtering
Obligatory - Eid al-Adha, Hajj, ‘Aqiqah
Optional - For Guests
Sacrificing for other than Allāh is Shirk
“Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then let him honour his guest”
From the greatest means of honouring the guest is to sacrifice in order to feed them, however if it is not within a person’s means, then there is nothing upon them.
The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam), would sometimes be unable to do so, such as when he lacked the wealth. An example of this would be when he would ask ‘Ā’ishah if there was any food, and upon hearing that there was none, he would fast for the day.
An-Nadhm - Vows
A vow cannot be made to other than Allāh.
Restricted/Conditional vows are Makrūh.
The person that makes such a vow (conditional), is stingy. For example, vowing to do righteous deeds if Allāh grants you with what you wish for.

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.
