Death - The Destroyer Of Pleasures by Learn About Islam

Sahih al-Bukhari – The Book of Tawheed – Lesson 27 (16/09/17)

Today we covered the importance of Tawheed.

Evidences:

• The Hadith of Muaad ibn Jabal

o When the Prophet sent Muaad ibn Jabal to Yemen He told him that the first thing you call the people to is Tawheed. This is a clear proof that all Dawah should start with Tawheed.

• When the Prophet gave the flag to lead the people in he advised to go slowly and firstly call them to Tawheed.

• Even in battle the first thing the Prophet would advise his companions with was Tawheed.

• The importance of studying such books as ‘Kitaab at Tawheed’

• Distinguishing who ahlul biddah are

o they will never call to Tawheed first.

• First 13 years in Makkah the chapters of Qu’raan that were revealed were Tawheed. Plus all the Dawah that was given was Tawheed.

We also covered:

• What the Shahaadah is and its importance.

• The ruling for the one who rejects the first pillar.

• The status of the companions

o “Upon you is to cling upon my Sunnah and the Sunnah of my rightly guided caliphs”

• The importance of following the Salafi Scholars of our time.

The English translation of the hadiths and all the audio are available on: www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/bukhari

Recorded at the Salafi Centre of Manchester on 16/09/17 and streamed live on www.SunnahRadio.Net

The Messenger of Allah said,

“The Fitrah is 5.”

1. Circumcision

2. Shaving private areas

3. Trimming Moustache

4. Clipping Nails

5. Removing Hair from the Armpits (Sahih Muslim).

• With regards, these affairs, excluding circumcision, a person should not go beyond 40 days, without fulfilling; excluding the trimming of the moustache for the woman. If goes beyond 40 days then the scholars say this is opposing the sunnah (if a person forgot or was lazy) and a person may fall into haram if he or she were resembling the non-Muslims, for e.g. men or women growing their nails in resemblance to non-Muslims.

• Plucking of the Eyebrows is not allowed, rather it is forbidden and is from the Major Sins.

• Proof it is from the Major Sins is the fact there is a mention of L’an (curse) in the hadeeth, as the scholars have explained.

• There are certain exceptions to the plucking of an eyebrow IF there was a need; for e.g. if instead of two they join to form one eyebrow. (Unibrow)

• Shaving part of the hair and leaves part.

• Not obligatory to circumcise females, rather it is recommended, not correct to force and more so if it leads to harm, in this case would be haram and waajib to refrain.

It is an extremely important topic, it is the purpose of our creation, as explained clearly in the Qur’an:

“It is Allah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof (i.e. seven). His Command descends between them (heavens and earth), that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah surrounds (comprehends) all things in (His) Knowledge.” 65:12

Likewise, the statement of Allaah:

“And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).” 51:56

The first verse dealing particularly with the category of “Ruboobiyyah”. The second with the category of “Uloohiyyah”. It is a blessing from Allaah to allow us to study these categories, as how many have been misled from this understanding from the disbelievers and even from the innovated groups of the muslims.

Tawheed linguistically is to single out and make something one.

Shirk linguistically is to make partners in something. It is the opposite of Tawheed.

The categories are 3:

1) Tawheed Ar Ruboobiyyah – To single out Allaah in His Lordship

• To believe and know He is the Creator of all things and the One who is in control of all affairs.

2) Tawheed Al Uloohiyyah – To single out Allaah in His Worship

• To believe that Allaah alone is the One worthy of Worship in Truth. This is the meaning of the Kalimah (Laa Illaaha Illa Allaah).

3) Tawheed Al Asmaa’ Was Sifaat – To single out Allaah in His Names and Attributes

• To believe in everything that has come from the Qur’an and Authentic Ahadith connected to the Names and Attributes of Allaah. We affirm that which He affirms for Himself in a manner that is befitting. This means not to distort the meanings, nor render them futile, nor ask how, nor liken them to creation.
