The Obligatory Matters That Every M uslim Should K iiow
Explanation:
The foundation o f the religion and its core principle are two
affairs, and they are:
1. The first is that the servant singles out the Lord, alone, with
all worship and no one else, no m atter w ho it is; and that the
servant calls [others] to single out his Lord, the O ne W hom
he worships (i.e. Allah), if he able to do so.

He loves for His sake, he hates for His sake, he allies for His
sake, and he disassociates for His sake. Certainly, allegiance
and disassociation are from the foundations o f this religion.
Verily, Allah informed us about Ibrahim w hen he
disassociated from his people and their objects o f worship that
they were w orshipping besides Allah.
Allah said,

The First: The command to worship Allah alone Who has no partners, to call to that, to have
allegiance based on that, and to declare the one who abandons it an apostate.
The Second: To warn from Shirk in the worship of Allah to sternly censure and criticize this to
dissociate based on that and to declare the one who practices it an apostate.
The proof for this foundation is, he who love, he hates for His sake, he
allies for His sake, and he disassociates for His sake. Certainly allegiance
and dissassociation are from the foundations of this religion.
The proof from the Quran is :"So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah
has grasped the most trustworthy handhold." [Surah al-Baqarah 2:256]
Therefore, Tawhid [Islamic monotheism] is not correct except with disbelief in all that is
worshiped besides Allah and diassociation from polytheism and the polytheist.

For this reason, there are many verses in the Q u r’an that
oblige the polytheists to recognize that w hat they are doing
is a huge mistake and disbelief in the ability o f Allah
His Knowledge and His Rule.
[H ow could they worship other than Allah] w hen they used
to believe that Allah is The C reator and that the false deities
they call on have not created anything nor have the ability to
benefit or harm themselves or anyone else?
From the verses in the Q u r’an [which is a proof for this] is the
statement o f Allah after He m entioned some o f His

“I saw her cry w hen she did not find Allah’s M essenger
to cure her. I felt pity for her w hen she said,
‘I am afraid 1 could be doomed. I had a husband w ho left me,
and I complained about this to an old w om an w ho came by.
The old w om an said, ‘If you do w hat I tell you, I will make

and each one o f us rode a dog. N othing happened until we

Thus, they told me, ‘Go to that vessel and urinate in it.’ I
went, but I was afraid, so I did not do w hat they asked me to

They asked me, ‘Did you do it?’ 1 said, ‘Yes.’ They said, ‘Did
you see anything?’ I replied, ‘N o.’ They said, ‘You did not do
it. Go back hom e and do not disbelieve.’ I stayed there, and I
refused [to leave].
So they told me, ‘Go to that vessel and urinate in it.’ I w ent
there, but I got goose bumps and was scared, so I returned to
them w ithout doing it. They said, ‘W hat did you see?’ I said,
‘N othing.’ They said, ‘You lied. You did not do it. Go back
hom e and do not disbelieve. You are the com m ander o f your

Therefore, they asked me again, ‘Go and urinate in that
vessel.’ So I w ent and I urinated it. T hen 1 saw an armored
man leaving my body, ascending towards the sky until he
disappeared from my vision. I w ent back to them and I said,
‘I urinated in the vessel.’
They said, ‘W hat did you see?’ I said, ‘I saw an arm ored man
leaving my body, ascending towards the sky until he
disappeared from my vision.’ They said, ‘You are telling the
truth. That was your faith leaving you. So go.’

I said to the wom an, ‘I do not know anything and they told
me nothing.’ She said, ‘W hat you just said to me is not true.
W hatever you want, it will come true.’
She said, ‘Take this wheat and sow it.’ So I did. I said grow,
so it grew. I said reap and it was reaped. I said dry, and it
dried. I said be crushed, and it was crushed. I said bake, and it
baked.
W hen I saw that there was not a thing that I wanted to
happen except that it occurred, I put my head in m y hand and
became regretful.
By Allah, O m other o f the believers, I have not done
anything, and I will not do so in the future.’”
And it has been narrated by Ibn Abu H atim on the authority
o f al-RabT b. Sulayman in a long version just like the one that
has preceded; however, he added after her statement ‘And I
will not do so in the future’:
“She asked the Prophet's companions shortly after the death
o f the Messenger o f Allah iijp ), and at that time they
were abundant in num ber, but they did not know w hat to
tell her (i.e. the woman).
They were afraid to give her a legal opinion about som ething
they had no knowledge of. However, Ibn Abbas, or some of
those w ho were w ith him, said to her, ‘If either your parents
or one o f them is alive, perhaps they will suffice you?”’

It does not protect his blood1 nor his wealth, m eaning that
the protection o f blood and wealth does not occur except by
Creating and choosing are from the actions o f Allah, and they

Disbelief linguistically means: To cover and conceal.
Disbelief legislatively means: The opposite o f belief (Iman).
Therefore, disbelief is the absence o f belief in Allah and His
messenger. This is w hether it is accompanied by rejection, or
it is not accompanied by rejection. Rather, it could be by way
o f uncertainty, turning away, envy, arrogance, or following
some desires that block the path o f following the message -
even though the rejecter o f the truth is greater in disbelief.

Chapter: Hypocrisy
Text:
Hypocrisy is o f tw o types: Hypocrisy in Belief and
Hypocrisy in Action.
Hypocrisy in belief is six types. W hoever commits them is
from the people w ho will be in the lowest depths o f the
Fire:
• The First: D enying the Messenger
170 I P a g e
The Obligatory Matters That Every M uslim Should Know
Explanation
His Saying, “In belief and action.” Its grammatical place in
the sentence is that it is Badl from the w ord ‘tw o types’.
It is correct to say hypocrisy is o f tw o types: in belief and in
action.
Hypocrisy in belief causes its perpetrator to be from the
people w ho are in the lowest depth o f the fire. W e seek refuge
w ith Allah from that.
This is the definition o f hypocrisy in belief: It is inward
rejection and denial, while m anifesting belief.
Allah mentions hypocrisy in belief, and He clarifies
the traits o f its people in Surah al-Baqarah, beginning w ith
His statement,

“And if Allah had willed, He could have taken away

He also clarified tremendously the traits o f the hypocrites in
Surah Bara [which is another name for Surah al-Taw bah]. He
repeatedly said: “And am ong them ,” “And am ong them ,” and
“And am ong them ,” just as it is found in His statement

1As for the one w ho rules by other than w hat Allah revealed
oppressively and disobediently, then this is not one o f the
heads o f Taghut, nor is he considered a Taghut.
This is because every T aghut is a disbeliever, and when
applying excom m unication (Takfir) to the one w ho rules by
other than w hat Allah revealed, it is a must that all the
conditions are fulfilled and all o f the preventive factors
m entioned in the pure legislation have been removed.
The person w ho rules by other than Allah can be a disbeliever
or someone w ho is disobedient, sinful or oppressive.
Oppression and disobedience are levels and degrees,
according to the effects o f the general or specific corruption
caused, or a com bination o f the two, or their consequences.
Pay attention to these details.
