The Explanation of the Creed of the Salaf,  by Imaam Abee Uthmaan Ismaa’eel bin Abdir-Rahmaan As-Saaboonee,rahimahullaah, as explained by our noble sheikh al-Allaamah Rabee’ bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee, hafidhahullaah.

Audio Lecture by: Abu Muhammad al Maghribee (hafidhahullaah)

Chapter 14: We Do Not Call a Muslim An Unbeliever Due To His Sins

[100] Ahl us-Sunnab believe that if a Believer commits sins, however small or large they may be, he does not become an unbeliever. If he leaves this world without making any repentance from them and he dies upon Tawheed and Ikhlaas, then his affair is entirely up to Allaah, The Most Mighty and The Most Majestic. If He wills, He may forgive him and enter him into Paradise on the Day of judgement, safe and sound without being afflicted by the fire and without being punished for his perpetration of the sins.

He will be brought on the Day of judgement with his sins and misdeeds. If Allaah wills, He will punish him for a period in the Fire. If He punishes him, he will not however remain in the Fire forever, but he will eventually be freed and taken out from it, to the place of tranquility and content.

[101] Our Shaykh, the Imaam Aboo Tayyeb Sahl ibn Muhammad as- Sa’lookee, raheemahullaah, said:

“The sinning believer, even if he is punished by the fire, he will not be thrown in there the same way as the unbeliever is thrown in the fire. He will not remain there the same way as the unbeliever will remain there nor will he be wretched and miserable the same way the unbeliever is wretched and miserable.”

[102] This means that the unbeliever will be dragged to the Fire on his face, he will be thrown in there chained, and then hung upside down, shackled by having his hands tied to his neck with strong and heavy chains. However, the sinning believer, if he is afflicted by the Fire, he will enter it like a criminal enters a prison in this world on his feet, not upside down nor thrown in. The meaning of his statement:

“…he will not, be thrown in there the same way as the unbeliever is thrown in the fire…,” means that the unbeliever will have all his body burned and every time his skin is roasted through it will be replaced with another, so that he may taste the punishment again, as Allaah informs us in His Book:

“Indeed, those who have disbelieved in our signs, we shall burn them in a fire. We shall change their skins for other skins, so that they may taste the punishment again.” [Soorah an-Nisaa 4;56]

As for the believers they will not have their faces scorched by the Fire, and their limbs which they used for sujood will not be burned. For Allaah has forbidden the Fire from burning them. “ [113]

[103] His saying: “…he will not stay in the Fire like the unbeliever would…”, means that the unbeliever will remain in it forever and never come out of it. Allaah will never leave any sinning believer in the Fire forever.

His saying: “…he will not be afflicted like the unbeliever”, means that the unbeliever has no hope of the Mercy of Allah and no opportunity for reprieve from the punishment. As for the believer he will never be cut off from the hope of the Mercy of Allaah.

The final outcome for all the believers is Paradise, as they were created for it and it was created for them, as a Mercy and a Blessing from Allaah.

Footnotes:
[113] The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Allaah has forbidden the fire to eat up the traces of Sujood”

Excellent lecture by Abu Iyad on sincerity and humility. A must listen lecture for anyone that wishes to remind himself of sincerity.

Every person knows his own intentions so the one who is sincere is gentle,  so Allah will deal with him according to that. The one who is opposite to this Allah will deal with him accordingly.

So the one who seeks the life of this world <Allah will hasten it to him.

"Whosoever desires the life of the world and its glitter; to them We shall pay in full (the wages of) their deeds therein, and they will have no diminution therein. They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire; and vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do." (Hud 11:15-16)

The outcome the end result is that in the hereafter they will be given nothing because they have been paid in full, they did not desire the hereafter.

Aqeedah Tahaawiyyah : Lesson 07

 ما زال بصفاته قديمًا قبل خلقه

[16]     He has always had His Attributes, before His act of creation.

[17] لم يزدد بكونهم شيئًا، لم يكن قبلهم من صفته.

[17]  He (Allaah) was not increased in any Attribute which He did not have before, by the creation of the creation.
[18] وكما كان بصفاته أزليًا، كذلك لا يزال عليها أبديًا.

[18] And just as He has always possessed His Attributes, then likewise, He will always possess them forever.

[19] ليس بعد خلق الخلق استفاد اسم ‏(‏الخالق‏)‏.

[19]     He did not acquire the Name ‘The Creator’ after the creation of the creation.

[20] ولا بإحداث البرية استفاد اسم ‏(‏الباري‏)‏.

[20] Nor did He acquire the Name ‘Al-Baaree’ (The Maker) after giving existence to the beings.

[21] له معنى الربوبية ولا مربوب، ومعنى الخالق ولا مخلوق‏.

[21] He possessed the meaning of Lordship and Nurturing when there were no slaves, and He had the meaning of being the Creator without there being any creation.

[22] وكما أنه محيي الموتى بعدما أحيا، استحق هذا الاسم قبل إحيائهم، كذلك استحق اسم الخالق قبل إنشائهم‏.

[22] And just as He is the One who is ‘The Giver of life to the dead’ after He gives them life, then He deserves this Name even before He gave life to them; and likewise, He deserves the Name ‘The Creator’ before He created and produced them.
[23] ذلك بأنه على كل شيء قدير‏.

[23] That is because He has full Power and Ability over everything.

Aqeedah Tahawiyyah - Expl of Shaykh Fawzan

Allah has always had His Attributes, before His act of creation - Sh Fawzan | Dawud Burbank

Lesson 01 – The Shahadah

"Laa Ilaaha Illa Allaah Muhammad Ar Rasool Allaah"
"There is no deity worty of worship in truth except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah."
Laa Illaaha Illa Allaah is split into two parts.
1) Laa Illaaha -Negation of everything that is worshipped other than Allaah. 
2) Illa Allaah -Affirmation of all worship being directed to Allaah alone. 
The definition of Islam: To submit to Allaah upon Tawhid, complying to Him, freeing ourselves from Shirk (polytheism - worshipping others besides Allaah) and its people. 
As it relates to submission to Allaah, there are 3 types of people;
1)	One who refuses to submit, is Mustakbir (Haughty and Proud). 
2)	One submits to Allaah and others, is a Mushrik (Associates partners).
3)	One who submits to Allaah alone, is a Muwahid (Singles out Allaah alone).

The mushrikoon at the time of the Prophet Alayhis Salaatu Was Salaam understood its meaning.
Allaah says: 
"If it is said to them say Laa Illaaha Illa Allaah, they would become haughty and would say "Shall we leave our gods for a mad poet?""
This shows they understood they would have to abandon their false gods. Unfortunately, some people from our Ummah have not understood this. They explain Laa Illaaha Illaa Allaah as "There is no creator except Allaah". This is not the meaning. Believing that Allaah is the only one worthy of worship necessitates that you believe He is the only Creator. 
The Shahaadah has conditions, they are:
1)	Knowledge, negating Ignorance:
Having a strong understanding of the statement so that you are not from those who are ignorant of it.
Allaah says: "So know, that none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah"
Allaah began with knowledge because it is the foundation of his belief.

2)	Certainty, negating Doubt:
Certainty is the completion of knowledge. Not permissible to doubt the statement.
Allaah says: "The believers are those who believe in Allaah and His Messenger, then they have no doubt."
3)	Sincerity, negating Polytheism:
Also negates Ar Riyaa (showing off). 
Allaah says: "They were not commanded except to worship Allaah making the religion purely for him"
4)	Truthfulness, negating Lying:
Hadith: "There is none who  testifies truthfully from his heart that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammed (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) is His servant and Messenger, except that Allah will save him from Hell-Fire." (Al Bukhari: Book of Knowledge)
5)	Love, negating Hatred:
In saying this statement, you must love Allaah, His Messenger, His Religion and the Muslims who uphold the legislation of Allaah. You must detest those who oppose the statement. 
Allaah says: "And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah." (2:165)
6)	Compliance, negating Abandonment:
Allaah says: "And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islam)" meaning submit and comply to that which Laa Illaaha Illa Allaah necessitates.
7)	Acceptance, negating Rejection:
Allaah says: "Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it)."
Some scholars add an 8th:
8)	Disbelief in all of that which is worshipped other than Allaah:
Allaah says: "Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break"

The meaning of "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah" is:
1)	Believe in that which he informed us of
2)	Obeying him in that which he commanded
3)	Leave off everything he forbade
4)	Dont worship Allaah except with that which he legislated.
