[08/09/2025]  LESSON 37: Explanation of The Three Fundamental Principles - By Abu Idrees Muhammad Khān حفظه الله  

 Points covered in LESSON 37:

– The Text: The explanation which will make it clear is the saying of Allah, the Most High, “And remember when Ibraaheem said to his father and his people: I am totally free from everything that you worship except for the one who created me, He will guide me upon the true Religion and the way of right-guidance.” And Allah made this saying, that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to persist among Ibraaheem’s progeny, so that they might remember and return to obedience to their Lord, and to worshipping Him alone, and repent from their unbelief and their sins.” [Surah az-Zukhruf (43): 26-28]. And His Saying, “Say: O People of the Book, come to a word of justice between us, that we will single Allah out with all worship and will not worship anything besides Him, and will disassociate ourselves from everything that is worshipped besides Him. Nor will we take one another as Lords besides Allah by obeying one another in that which involves disobedience to Allah. So if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims, submitting to Allah and making our worship purely and sincerely for Him, and not worshipping anything else besides Him.’” [Surah Ali Imran (3): 64]
