Today’s lesson was largely a recap of last week’s lesson. It included a discussion of: The 4 prohibitions as it relates to the Names and Attributes of Allaah Azza Wa Jal, they are: “Ta’teel” – To reject the Names and Attributes “Tahreef” – To distort the meanings of the Names and Attributes “Takyeef” – To give descriptions to the Names and Attributes “Tamtheel” – To liken the Names and Attributes to creation This is as is mentioned in the beginning of Shaykh Al Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah’s treatise – “Al Aqeedatul Waasitiyyah”. For further details on these issues refer back to last week’s lesson. In addition, Ustadh Abu Muadh gave us some principles to be used when dealing with the People of Innovation, for example: It is not upon you to give proof for the default meaning of a name or attribute. (The Hand of Allaah is the Hand of Allaah, you do not need to give proof for this meaning as it is the origin!) Ask them for any of the salaf who understood the Names and Attributes in the way they are trying to explain them. He rounded up the lecture by reminding the brothers and sisters about the virtues of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah as well as some rulings related to it.

Today’s lesson began with a new chapter: Chapter of the saying of Allaah: “And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment)” (Aale Imran V28) and His statement” “You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours”(Al Maa’idah V116). Benefits of the lesson include: This chapter was placed following the previous chapter related to the “Dhaat” (Essence) of Allaah to show that the “Nafs” and the “Dhaat” are the same. This shows the great level of understanding of Imam Al Bukhari. The differing levels of shirk (Major & Minor) and sin (Major & Minor) and their rulings. Some scholars mention that sins are a form of shirk. To find out the evidence for why they hold this, listen to next weeks lesson as this was assigned as Homework! Hadith 1 (in this chapter): Narrated Abdullah (Ibn Mas’ood): “The Prophet said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah, and for that reason He has forbidden shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does." Benefits from this hadith: The establishment of “Ghayra” (roughly translates to jealousy) for Allaah. From the effects of Ghayra, is anger. This hadith shows us the grave consequence of falling into Fawaahish (Shameful deeds and sins). Allaah loves Praise for Him as He is Most befitting of praise.
