Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 11 (03/10/20)

2 nd DOUBT — The claim that worshipping other than Allah only occurs when worshipping idols and NOT with the righteous

Then if he says: “These āyāt were revealed concerning people who worshipped idols, so how can you make the righteous like the idols?”, then respond to him as we have already mentioned. If he accepts that the disbelievers affirmed Rubūbiyyah (Allāh’s Lordship) for Allāh alone and that they only desired the intercession of those whom they turned to – but he desires to distinguish between his own actions and the actions of the disbelievers with what he has mentioned – then mention to him that amongst the disbelievers were those who called upon idols and those who called upon awliyā’, as Allāh says concerning them:

3 rd DOUBT — The claim that seeking intercession (of the dead) is not Shirk If he then says: “The disbelievers seek to benefit from them while I bear witness that only Allāh is the One who gives benefit and harm and He is the disposer of affairs. I do not desire any benefit from anyone besides Him. And I know that the righteous have no share in this, but I turn to them in hope that Allāh will accept their intercession.”

4 th DOUBT — The claim that they do not worship the deceased righteous – despite the fact that they call upon them or sacrifice for them

Today we covered:

• Prophet Easa will declare his innocence on the day of Judgement and he will highlight that he did not tell the people to worship him

• The definition of taghoot

• The mushrikoon did not just worship the idols, they called upon the dead also.

• So the response to this is – “This is exactly the same statement as the disbelievers, then recite for him the statement of Allāh (وتعاىل تبارك” :(And those who take protectors besides Him say: We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position.” [Sūrah al-Zumar 39:3]

• And there is the statement of Allāh (وتعاىل تبارك” :(They are our intercessors before Allāh.” [Sūrah Yūnus 10:18]”

• Know that these three doubts are the strongest evidences they possess. So if you know that Allāh has clarified this issue in His Book and you have understood this matter well, then whatever follows after this will be easier.

• The definition of intercession

• Q&A session

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 10 (26/09/20)

1st DOUBT — The claim that the one who acknowledges Tawhīd ar-Rubūbiyyah and only intends intercession from the righteous is not a Mushrik

From their statements is their saying that: “We do not make Shirk with Allāh rather we bear witness that no one creates or sustains; or can benefit or harm except Allāh alone with no partners. And Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (cannot even bring about benefit or harm to himself, so how much more so ‘Abd alQādir or other than him? But I am sinful, and the righteous possess a lofty station with Allāh, so I beseech Allāh by way of them.”

So answer him with the response that has already preceded and this is that those people whom the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم (fought against used to affirm all what you have mentioned. They used to admit that their idols did not control anything and that they only turned to them for their lofty station and for their intercession. Then recite for him what Allāh mentions in His Book and further clarifies.

2nd DOUBT — The claim that worshipping other than Allah only occurs in worshipping idols and NOT with the righteous

Today we covered:

• The first Doubt:

• The mushrikoon used to say, “We do not commit shirk alongside Allaah.”

• They used to affirm the ar-Rububiyyah of Allaah

• The intercession of the mushrikoon

• Soorah yunis ayah 31 “Say to them, who sustains them and provides for them. Who is the one that brings life after death, surely they will say Allaah.”

• Tawhid is not just restricted to just ar-Rububiyyah

• Q&A session

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 9 (19/09/20)

Examples of this is if a polytheist was to say to you [as doubts for his polytheism]: • [The verse]: “Surely for the awliyā’ of Allāh there will be no fear; nor will they grieve.” [Sūrah Yūnus 10:62] • Or that certainly the intercession is true and the Prophets possess a truly lofty station with Allāh. • Or when they cite some speech of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم (seeking to use it in support of their falsehood and you cannot understand the meaning of his speech. Then respond to his statement [with a general response] by saying: “Indeed Allāh has mentioned that the people whose hearts have deviated abandon the clear texts in order to follow the ambiguous texts. And what I have mentioned to you, showing that Allāh has informed that the polytheists affirm alRubūbiyyah and yet their disbelief occurred due to their devotion to the Angels, Prophets, and awliyā’. And that they justified their actions by saying: “They are our intercessors before Allāh,” [Sūrah Yūnus 10:18] and this is something indisputable for which no one can attempt to distort its meaning.

A Guide to Sound Creed, taught by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

• The meaning of tawakkul: entrusting one's affair to another, an action of the heart

• It is not allowed to rely on a created being or on the means themselves; reliance is placed upon Allāh

• Ibn al-Qayyim: Allāh made tawakkul a condition of īmān in "And upon Allāh rely, if you are believers"

• Whoever rejects taking the means has opposed the Sunnah, and whoever relies on the means alone has opposed īmān

• In practice: take the legislated means for a lawful goal while the heart relies upon Allāh

• Worship must combine fear, hope and love; worshipping with fear alone is the way of the Khawārij

• Ibn al-Qayyim: loving something alongside Allāh as one loves Allāh is setting up rivals with Him

Kashf ush-Shubuhaat – The removal of the doubts – Lesson 8 (12/09/20)

Even though these polytheists used to bear witness that Allāh is the sole creator with no partners; that no one provides for the creation other than Him; none grants life except Him; and none brings about death except Him. [They also believed that] none has any share in disposing the affairs of the creation other than Him; and that the seven heavens and the seven earths, and what is contained therein, all of it is subservient to Him and subject to His authority and overwhelming control.
