« Last post by Izhâr'ud Dîn on Yesterday at 05:26:43 PM »

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

١ جُمَادَي الْآخِرَةُ ١٤٤١
1 JUMÂD’AL ÂKHIRAH 1441H
THE TWENTY SEVENTH OF THE FIRST MONTH (27.01) 2020

Tonight, on the 29th of the month of Jumâd’al Ûlâ (the twenty sixth of the first month 2020), the Hilâl (crescent moon) of the month of Jumâd’al Âkhirah 1441H was observed and has been sighted by a group of Muwahhidîn around the world.

اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللَّهُمَّ أَهِّلْهُ عَلَيْناَ بِاْلأَمْنِ وَ اْلإِيماَنِ، وَ السَّلاَمَةِ وَ اْلإِسْلاَمِ، وَ التَّوْفِيقِ لِماَ تُحِبُّ رَبَّناَ وَ تَرْضَى، رَبُّناَ وَ رَبُّكَ اللهُ

“Allâh is the Most Great!.. O Allâh, bring us the Hilâl (crescent moon) with security and Îmân (faith) with peace and in Islâm and in harmony with what our Lord loves and what pleases Him. (O Hilâl) our Lord and your Lord is Allâh!..” (at-Tirmidhî, 5/504; ad-Dârimî, 1/336)

Therefore, the 1st of the month of Jumâd’al Âkhirah 1441H will fall on the twenty seventh day of the first month (27.01.2020). Wallâhu A'lam!

[أَنْوَاعُ التَّوْحِيدِ]

وَسُئِلَ أَيْضًا: رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى، عَنْ تَوْحِيدِ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ، وَتَوْحِيدِ الْأُلُوهِيَّةِ، وَتَوْحِيدِ الصِّفَاتِ؟

فَأَجَابَ: تَوْحِيدُ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ: هُوَ الَّذِي أَقَرَّ بِهِ الْكُفَّارُ، كَمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى:

﴿قُلْ مَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَمَّنْ يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَمَنْ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَنْ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللّٰهُ فَقُلْ أَفَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ.﴾ [یونس:31 ]

وَأَمَّا تَوْحِيدُ الْأُلُوهِيَّةِ، فَهُوَ: إِخْلاَصُ الْعِبَادَةِ لِلّٰهِ وَحْدَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَلْقِ، لِأَنَّ الْإِلٰهَ فِي كَلاَمِ الْعَرَبِ، هُو الَّذِي يُقْصَدُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ، وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ إِلٰهُ الْآلِهَةِ، لٰكِنَّ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، مِثْلُ الصَّالِحِينَ، وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ، وَغَيْرِهِمِ؛ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْضَى هٰذَا، وَيشْفَعُونَ لَنَا عِنْدَهُ.

AN ADDITIONAL PAMPHLET REGARDING
TAWHÎD’UR RUBÛBİYYAH,
TAWHÎD’UL ULÛHİYYAH, AND
TAWHÎD(’UL ASMÂ WA’S) SIFÂT

Shaykh’ul Islâm Mujaddid Muhammad bin Abd’il Wahhâb Rahimahullâhu Taâlâ was asked regarding Tawhîd’ur Rubûbiyyah, Tawhîd’ul Ulûhiyyah, and Tawhîd’us Sifât. He replied,

“Tawhîd’ur Rubûbiyyah is that which the Kuffâr affirm. As it is in the statement of Allâhu Taâlâ,

“Say, “Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?” They will say, “Allâh.” Say, “Will you not then show piety (to Him)?” (Yûnus 10/31)

When it comes to Tawhîd’ul Ulûhiyyah; it is specifying Ibâdah (worship) to Allâh apart from all of the creation. Since the term, “al-Ilah” in the speech of the Arab is the one whom worship is directed to. In addition, they (the Mushrikûn) used to say, “Allâh is the Ilah (deity) of the al-Âlihah (pl. Ilâh; deities).”

However, they were adopting other (fake) deities with Him, such as the likes of the Sâlihûn (righteous), the Malâ’ikah (angels), and others. They were saying, “Allâh is pleased with this (worship) and they (the fake deities) will be intercede for us in His presence.”

فَإِذَا عَرَفْتَ هٰذَا مَعْرِفَةً جَيِّدَةً، تَبَيَّنَ لَكَ غُرْبَةُ الدِّينِ.

وَقَدِ اسْتَدَلَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سُبْحَانَهُ بِإِقْرَارِهِمْ بِتَوْحِيدِ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ، عَلَى بُطْلاَنِ مَذْهَبِهِمِ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ هُوَ الْمُدَبِّرُ وَحْدَهُ، وَجَمِيعُ مَنْ سِوَاهُ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ، فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُونَهُ وَيَدْعُونَ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ، مَعَ إِقْرَارِهِمِ بِهٰذَا.

وَأَمَّا تَوْحِيدُ الصِّفَاتِ: فَلاَ يَسْتَقِيمُ تَوْحِيدُ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَلاَ تَوْحِيدُ الْأُلُوهِيَّةِ، إِلاَّ بِالْإِقْرَارِ بِالصِّفَاتِ، لٰكِنَّ الْكُفَّارَ أَعْقَلُ مِمَّنْ أَنْكَرَ الصِّفَاتِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.

Once you have accurately understood this, the strangeness of the Dîn will become evident for you.

Allâh Subhânahu deducted against them regarding the crookedness of their Madhhab (way, religion) with their affirmation of Tawhîd’ur Rubûbiyyah. This is because if He is the sole Mudabbir (the Disposer) and all of those other than Him do not own even the weight of an atom, while they affirm this, how could they direct their Du’â (worship) to Allâh and direct their Du’â to another along with Him?

When it comes to Tawhîd’us Sifât; neither Tawhîd’ur Rubûbiyyah nor Tawhîd’ul Ulûhiyyah will be upright except with the affirmation of the Sifât. However, the Kuffâr (in the past) are more intelligent than those (contemporaries) who reject the Sifât.[1] Wallâhu A’lam! (And Allâh knows best)!..

ANNOTATIONS:

1.	This is because the Mushrikûn of the past would affirm what the deniers of Sifât reject today from many of the Sifât of Allâhu Taâlâ, such as Allâhu Taâlâ being above the heavens. Wallâhu A’lam!

The Eleventh Hadîth

Al-Mashâyikh (pl. Shaykh), as-Sulahâ (pl. Sâlih; righteous), al-Musnidûn (pl. Musnid; the one who narrates Hadîth with Isnâd), Abû Abdullâh Muhammad bin Badr bin Muhammad bin Ya’îsh al-Jazarî, Abû’l Abbâs Ahmad bin Shaybân, Abu’l Fadhl Ismâ’îl bin Abî Abdillâh Ibn’ul Asqalânî, and Zaynab bint Ahmad bin Kâmil informed us informed us about the recitation upon him and I listened to it in (the month of) Sha’bân, the year 675H in Qâsyûn. They said: Abû Hafs Umar bin Muhammad bin Tabarzadh al-Baghdâdî informed us about the recitation upon him, and we listened to it. (He said:) Abu’l Qâsim Abdullâh bin Ahmad bin Abd’il Qâdir bin Yûsuf, Abû Mansûr Abd’ur Rahmân bin Muhammad bin Abd’il Wâhid al-Qazzâz, and Abu’l Fath Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Baydhâwî informed us about the recitation upon them, and I listened to it. They said: Abû Ja’far Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Ibn’ul Muslim al-Mu’addil informed us that Abû Tâhir Muhammad bin Abd’ir Rahmân Ibn’ul Abbâs al-Mukhlis informed us that Abu’l Qâsim Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Abd’il Azîz al-Baghawî informed us that Abdullâh bin Mutî narrated to me that Ismâ’îl bin Ja’far narrated to us. (Abu’l Qâsim) al-Baghawî said: Sâlih bin Mâlik also narrated to me that Abd’ul Azîz bin Abdillâh narrated to us. (Abu’l Qâsim) al-Baghawî said: my grandfather also narrated to me that Yazîd bin Hârûn narrated to us. All of them (Ismâ’îl bin Ja’far, Abd’ul Azîz bin Abdillâh, and Yazîd bin Hârûn) narrated from Humayd, from Anas Radiyallâhu Anh that the Nabî Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam said,

دَخَلْت الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِقَصْرِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقُلْت: لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ فَقَالُوا: لِشَابِّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَظَنَنْت أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ فَقُلْت: وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا: عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ

“I entered al-Jannah (paradise), and suddenly, I was at a palace made from gold. So I said, “Who does this palace belong to?” Thereupon, they said, “A youth from amongst Quraysh.” So I thought that I was that youth. So I said: “And who is he?” They said, “‘Umar Ibn’ul Khattâb.”

This wording of the Hadîth belongs to Ibnu Mutî.

The Shaykh (Rahimahullâh) died in (the month of) Sha’bân, in the year 675H.
