Introduction to Usul Fiqh:The life of Imam ShafieNaimAlmashoori
Imam al-Shafie is considered the founder of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh). He wrote the first work to systematically outline the legal theory in his book al-Risalah. Imam al-Shafie studied under many eminent scholars in Makkah and Madinah and became renowned for his deep knowledge of hadith and legal theory. He established one of the major schools of Islamic law and made significant contributions to the development of Usul al-Fiqh.
Imam Abū Ḥanīfa was an influential Islamic scholar and jurist who founded the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence. He was born in 699 CE in Kufa, Iraq and showed early intellectual promise, embarking on a quest for religious knowledge. He studied under prominent scholars and became a distinguished student of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq. Though offered the position of Chief Judge, Abu Hanifa declined in order to remain independent and was later imprisoned and tortured, dying in prison in 767 CE. He was greatly respected and influential in Islamic law.
Imam al-Shaï¬'i was an influential Islamic scholar whose real name was Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shaï¬'i. He was born in Gaza in 150 AH and lost his father at a young age. He memorized the Quran by age 7 and the Muwatta of Imam Malik by age 13. He studied under many scholars and became a mufti at age 15. After further study in Madina and Baghdad, where he developed his early madhab, he returned to Makkah and taught for 9 years before moving to Egypt, where he authored many influential books and died in 204 AH.
1) Imaam Ahmad valued memorizing the Quran greatly and said that it is difficult to accept that the dunya could melt the hearts of those who have memorized it and comprehend its meanings.
2) He continued seeking knowledge throughout his life, even carrying an inkwell like students. He said he would seek knowledge until being placed in his grave, and asked for a hadith on his deathbed.
3) Imaam Ahmad forgot some Quran due to focusing on hadith studies. He realized he should have asked God to grant him memorization "in safety and good health" instead of just memorization. He then memorized the Quran while imprisoned.
Imaam Ahmad emphasized loving and hating people based on how closely they follow the Sunnah (way of the Prophet). He warned against innovations in worship, as people may intend good but still introduce impermissible new practices. To avoid falling into innovation, one must have strong knowledge of authentic hadith and follow only what is proven from the Prophet and Companions.

This document is a transcript of a lecture by Imam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee on following the way of the Salaf (pious predecessors). In the lecture, Al-Albaanee defines true Islamic knowledge as what is found in the Quran, authentic hadiths, and statements of the Sahabah. He emphasizes the importance of following the understanding and practices of the earliest generations of Muslims, particularly the Sahabah. Al-Albaanee laments that many modern Islamic scholars and callers to Islam neglect this important aspect of properly understanding and implementing shariah. He hopes that Muslims will follow the example of the Salaf in acquiring and spreading knowledge.

The document provides an introduction to Imam Nawawi's compilation of 40 hadith. It discusses how previous scholars had also compiled 40 hadith on various topics and that Nawawi aims to compile the most important 40 hadith that cover the essential aspects of religion. It notes that Nawawi only includes authentic hadith from Bukhari and Muslim and provides the first 3 hadith without their chains of narration.
This document is an introduction to Imam Nawawi's compilation of 40 hadith. It provides background on Nawawi and his scholarly lineage. It explains that many previous scholars had also compiled collections of 40 hadith, and that Nawawi aimed to collect the most important hadith that cover the essential aspects of religion and guidance. The introduction outlines the hadith that Nawawi will include and his methodology of focusing on authentic hadith from Bukhari and Muslim. It asserts the importance of being familiar with these hadith for those seeking guidance to Allah.
The Shaykh advises that the most effective way to deal with the dire situation facing Muslims is to follow the methodology of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This means giving top priority to correcting beliefs ("tawheed first") before addressing other issues. The Prophet began by rectifying the beliefs of the Arabs during the Days of Ignorance, and this is the same approach that should be taken today. Many Islamic groups fail because they do not emphasize correct 'aqeedah as the most important thing. The duty of all Muslims, especially scholars and callers to Islam, is to focus on correctly understanding and applying tawheed as the foundation of the religion.

1) The statement "Laa ilaaha ill Allaah" distinguishes between faith and disbelief. It requires sincere recognition in the heart, not just utterance by the tongue.
2) It contains both a negation of worshipping anything besides God, including prophets, angels, or saints. And an affirmation of worshipping God alone.
3) Merely affirming God's role as Creator and Sustainer is not enough. One must also affirm that God alone deserves to be prayed to, sacrificed to, and sought for help - not intermediaries. Negating intermediaries completes the meaning of the statement.

It notes that even polytheists affirmed Allah's Oneness in terms of lordship/rububiyyah, though they associated partners with Him. It clarifies the meaning of the word "rabb" and distinguishes the Islamic understanding from misconceptions. It also discusses how shirk (polytheism) corrupts man's natural inclination to Tawheed.

It outlines the sources of aqeedah as being the Quran and Sunnah, and how the early Muslims (Salaf) learned aqeedah directly from these sources. It also discusses how deviation from correct aqeedah can occur, such as through ignorance, blindly following leaders, or exaggerating the status of pious people.

The study addresses a common doubt raised by those who commit shirk (polytheism), arguing that they affirm beliefs like Tawheed, prayer, fasting etc. unlike early disbelievers. The response is given in three points: 1) Rejecting any part of the Quran or teachings makes one a disbeliever. 2) Matters like rejecting obligatory prayer make one a disbeliever, so rejecting the greatest obligation of Tawheed is worse. 3) Differences between groups do not negate rulings on disbelief, as disbelief can be partial

The document discusses the difference between the Shirk (polytheism) committed by early pagans and that committed by modern people. It states that the Shirk of modern people is more serious for two reasons:
1. The early pagans would only commit Shirk during times of ease and call upon only Allah during times of hardship, whereas modern people commit Shirk during both easy and difficult times.
2. The early pagans called upon righteous people close to Allah like prophets or angels, whereas modern people call upon the most sinful of people according to their own testimony of those individuals' sins.

It describes three responses a person may give when asked to define shirk and ibaadah: 1) They may not know the definitions, 2) They may define them incorrectly, contrary to the Quran, or 3) They may define them correctly. It aims to show that common practices today constitute shirk as defined in the Quran, such as worship at graves. By clarifying the true meanings of shirk and ibaadah from the Quran

The document summarizes the eighth study from the book "Removal of Doubts" by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab. It discusses the topics of intercession. The key points made are:
1) All intercession belongs to Allah alone, and can only occur with His permission. The Prophet can only intercede for those Allah is pleased with, which are the people of Tawheed (monotheism).
2) When seeking intercession, one should ask Allah to accept the Prophet's intercession, not ask the Prophet directly.
3) Those who claim one can ask the Prophet directly for the right of intercession given to him are refuted, as Allah

The study addresses those who claim calling upon the righteous is not a form of worship. It provides two examples, supplication and sacrifice, that are clearly defined as acts of worship in the Quran and Sunnah. Anyone who directs worship like supplication or sacrifice to other than Allah has committed shirk.
It also notes that the pre-Islamic polytheists' worship of others was through acts like supplication, sacrifice and seeking their intercession - showing their shirk is comparable to those who direct similar acts of worship to other than Allah today. The goal is to

It notes that enemies of tawheed object that they do not associate partners with Allah but see righteous people as having status with Allah. The response is that while the mushriks affirmed Allah's lordship, they took idols and people as intercessors, which Allah condemned as shirk. It equates calling upon idols and the righteous as shirk. The document advocates responding with clear Quranic verses establishing tawheed and rejecting any intermediaries between man and Allah.

The document summarizes the fifth study from the book "Removal of the Doubts" by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab. It discusses the general approach to responding to people of falsehood. There are two angles: a general answer and specific answers. The general answer is found in a Quran verse distinguishing clear verses from ambiguous ones. Clear verses are followed but ambiguous ones should not contradict clear ones. The Prophet warned against following ambiguous verses and said to beware of those who do.

2) It states that Satan and his soldiers lie in wait to attack people on the straight path of monotheism using knowledge and arguments, so Muslims must acquire weapons from the Quran to fight back intellectually.
3) The document argues that even a common believer armed with rational proofs from the Quran can overcome thousands of scholars of polytheism, and that no false argument exists that cannot be nullified by the Quran.

2) It explains that when one truly understands tawheed (monotheism), they will rejoice in Allah's mercy but also greatly fear falling into disbelief themselves.
3) It notes that enemies of tawheed will try to misguide people using knowledge and arguments, as they did with past prophets, so the reader must learn to refute doubts about tawheed.

2) It explains that while the polytheists affirmed Allah's lordship, their shirk came from seeking intercession from other beings and setting up intermediaries between themselves and Allah.
3) Many Muslims today are ignorant of the full meaning of the Shahadah ("There is no god but Allah"), not realizing it requires exclusively worshipping Allah in all manners, as even the ignorant polytheists understood at the time.
[Salafi publications] reading in kashf al shubhaat part 1Khalid Abdul Kareem
The document summarizes the first part of Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab's treatise "Kashf ush-Shubuhaat" on the meaning of Tawheed. It explains that Tawheed means singling out Allah alone for worship. While the Mushriks affirmed Allah's lordship, they rejected His sole right to worship by calling upon other beings like angels and prophets. The Messengers including Noah and Muhammad were sent to abolish this practice of shirk and revive the worship of Allah alone as taught by Ibrahim. The Mushriks exaggerated the status of righteous people and called upon them instead of Allah directly. [END SUMMARY]
The document provides an explanation of the meaning of "Taaghoot" according to Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab. It is summarized as follows:
1. The first obligation on mankind is to reject the Taaghoot and believe in Allah alone. Taaghoot refers to anything worshipped besides Allah.
2. The treatise defines rejecting the Taaghoot and believing in Allah, and explains they form the foundation of Ibrahim's religion.
3. It identifies five categories of Taaghoot: the Devil, oppressive rulers, those who judge by other than Allah's revelation, those who claim knowledge of the unseen, and those worshipped besides Allah.
This document outlines the conditions, pillars, and requirements of prayer according to Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab. It discusses the nine conditions for a valid prayer such as Islam, purity, and intention. It then explains the fourteen pillars of prayer including the opening takbeer, reciting the Quran, bowing, and prostrating. Finally, it lists the requirements of ablution and details the proper way to perform wudoo according to the Quran and hadith. The document provides scriptural evidence for each aspect of prayer discussed.
The document summarizes Imaam Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz's treatise on the correct Islamic belief. It outlines the six pillars of faith in Islam: faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine pre-decree. It then discusses each pillar in 1-2 sentences, with faith in Allah focusing on His right to be worshipped alone and believing in His commands. The summary establishes the key points about Islamic creed discussed in the treatise.
The document provides a summary of the first chapter from the book "Kitaabus-Sunnah" by Imaam Aboo Daawood as-Sijistaanee, which has been authenticated by Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee. The chapter discusses hadiths related to the splitting of religious communities into sects and the Prophet's warning about following desires. It also includes hadiths prohibiting disputation of the Quran and innovations in religion. The document provides context about the author, authentication, translation source and overview of the initial chapters and hadiths discussed.
The first rule regarding Shirk is that acknowledging Allaah's Lordship alone through affirming that He is the Creator and Administrator of all affairs is not sufficient to remove one from disbelief or enter Islam. The polytheists acknowledged this during the time of Prophet Muhammad but it did not cause them to enter Islam or make their lives and wealth sacred since they still ascribed partners to Allaah in worship. One must single out Allaah alone for worship to truly have faith.
The document outlines the key differences between believers and disbelievers. Believers have faith in God and follow religious teachings, showing gratitude and patience. Their hearts are at peace as they hope for divine reward. Disbelievers deny God and prioritize material desires, living in unrest and lacking faith to endure hardship. They are motivated by worldly goals while believers seek God's pleasure.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life.

Imaam Ahmad

The praise is for Allaah, the One who keeps a group of scholars
available during the times when there is no messenger, scholars
who bring those who have strayed back to the Guidance, curing
their blindness and bringing them back to life using Allaah's Book.
For how many have they brought back to life from those killed by
Iblees? And how many strayed and then were guided by the
scholars?
What great effects they have on the people! And how filthy are the
effects of the people on them! They expel from the Religion of Allaah
the perversions of the people of falsehood, the twisted explanations
of the ignoramuses, and the plagiarism of those who have strayed,
those who bear the flags of innovation and dispute over the Book of
Allaah.
I praise Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted, and I thank Him. I testify
that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah, and that He
is alone without any partners, and I further testify that Muhammad
is His Servant and Messenger, His pure one, His chosen friend.
May Allaah raise his rank and the rank of all his family members
and Companions, and may He grant them an abundance of peace.
To proceed: I ask Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted, that He grants
me and all of you beneficial knowledge, righteous actions, and
submissive hearts. O Allaah! Teach us what will benefit us, and
benefit us by what you teach us, and increase us in knowledge,
good deeds, guidance, and adherence to the Sunnah! Hear our call,
as You are the Most Merciful One!
2. Dear brothers,
This lecture has been entitled From the Fountains of Imaam
Ahmad. What is intended from this title is that Imaam Ahmad ibn
Muhammad ibn Hambal, the one born in the year 164, the one who
passed away in the year 241, was described as being like water
that flowed from a spring. Like the spring that a thirsty person goes
to in order to quench his thirst, he was like the spring that those
who have been overcome by sins go in order to cleanse their souls.
So all kinds of people used to go to him to quench their thirsts, and
they would all be able to fulfill their various needs by going to him.
The people have agreed that Imaam Ahmad was an imaam of
guidance, the very head of the imaams of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-
Jamaa'ah. They have also agreed that loving him and studying his
history is an indication of someone's love for those who studied the
Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam).
The people of the past were tested regarding their love for Imaam
Ahmad. Whoever loved him was considered someone on the
Sunnah; whoever spoke ill of him was someone of innovation and
misguidance.
This is not something strange, since the life story of Imaam Ahmad,
from his earliest years to the end of his life, is the history of a
companion of the Sunnah, someone who followed the Sunnah
devoutly. His is the history of an imaam, a scholar of Hadeeth and
Fiqh, a person of knowledge who spent his days and nights in acts
of obedience worshipping Allaah.
Dedicating One's Youth to Worship
Since his childhood, Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have Mercy on
him) could be seen with signs of nusuk on him. Ma'roof Al-
Karkhee (may Allaah have Mercy on him) said, "I saw Ahmad ibn
Hambal when he was a young boy, and he had signs of nusuk
on him. I used to hear him making statements that were full
3. of benefit."
This statement describes how he was upon guidance even as a
young boy. He used to be seen with signs of nusuk on him. What is
meant by nusuk is worship and acts of obedience. The effects of
worship and obedience are not only physical ones seen in the
appearance and dress, but their effects are also found in one's
speech, manners, in the acts of worship and obedience themselves,
and in one's preference for the next life over this one.
Imaam Ahmad said about his own self, "I did not marry until
after I reached 40 years of age." His companions said that this
was because he used to be busy traveling to seek knowledge before
that. He went to Makkah, and from there to San'aa'. There is a
story about this trip:
He set out with his companion, Yahyaa ibn Ma'een, for Hajj. He
said to Yahyaa, "When I finish Hajj, verily I am going to Yemen to
meet the scholar of Yemen, the scholar of Hadeeth, 'Abdur-Razzaaq
ibn Hammaam As-San'aanee." As-San'aanee died in the year 210
after Hijrah.
When they reached Makkah, they found that 'Abdur-Razzaaq was
making Hajj that year as well. So Yahyaa knew who he was and
met him. He saw him going around the Ka'bah, and since he knew
him, he went and greeted him. Yahyaa said to 'Abdur Razaaq and
they knew each other, "This is Ahmad ibn Hambal." So 'Abdur-
Razzaaq became happy about this and said, "It has reached us that
he is a person who has a lot of goodness."
When they prayed their two rak'ahs after making tawwaaf, Yahyaa
said to Imaam Ahmad, "Ahmad, our provisions for the journey to
San'aa' have been used. And here is 'Abdur-Razzaaq, so let us stay
with him so we can take some narrations from him."
Ahmad said to Yahyaa ibn Ma'een, "My intention is still present, and
I will not oppose it. So I will continue on to San'aa'." This shows the
effects of his commitment to the hardships of seeking knowledge. A
trip to San'aa' in that time was not made in cars or airplanes or the
likes, rather it was only made with great hardships, the realities of
4. which can not be described.
Ma'roof said, "I saw Ahmad ibn Hambal when he was a young boy
and he had signs of nusuk on him." In reality, this is what we
should see in our children that they work hard to correct
themselves in their youth, in their early years. Because at this, if
they do not build upon this foundation with what is correct, with
acts of worship and obedience, then it will be very difficult after
that, except for those whom Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted,
excludes.
Whoever holds to His Religion in his youth, firmness will return to
him. Someone being devout or obedient is not just a claim or a
verbal ascription to something, nor is it something seen only from
the outside. Rather devoutness in the Religion entails one taking on
serious rituals, he must worship, and he must be obedient.
This leads us to the story when Imaam Ahmad once hosted one of
his students in Hadeeth, 'Abdus-Samad ibn Sulaymaan. When he
was hosting him in his house, and it came time to sleep, he
brought him some water to make wudhoo' from or for general use.
Then he went to sleep. When the morning came, Imaam Ahmad
saw that all of the water was still there, so he asked about it.
'Abdus-Samad replied, "I did not use the water." Imaam Ahmad
said, "A student of the narrations who does not do anything at
night?!"
He meant, "All the way to the morning, you did not pray in the
night?! You did not worship!? You did not even pray two rak'ahs?!"
'Abdus-Samad replied, "Verily I am a traveler." He said, "Even as a
traveler!" Meaning, "Where is the witr? Where is the prayer?"
So without a doubt, if this was important in that day and time for
cultivating one's soul and getting set in the proper direction, then
we are in more need of it today. This is the case especially with the
youth who seek knowledge, or those holding tight to their guidance,
or those who display the effects of prayer, or those who are keen in
doing good deeds.
One must keep his soul tied to some acts of worship. No doubt, one
must keep his soul tied to some acts of obedience. If you force the
5. soul to be obedient, it will become obedient. If you abandon it, then
it will be a soul that gravitates toward wrongdoing.
It has been related that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)
said:
"Whoever shows enduring patience, Allaah will make him firm
upon patience. Whoever seeks knowledge, Allaah will teach
him. Whoever hunts for good, he will be given it. Whoever
expects evil, he will be made to fall into it." [1]
Therefore, this description of Imaam Ahmad proves that he had an
upbringing based on obedience to Allaah and acts of worship, so
much so that he used to force his soul to shun many worldly things
and to take on great hardships. The result of this was that he
established his soul firmly upon obedience to Allaah, the Mighty
and Exalted.
Speaking Only About Beneficial Matters
Aboo Daawood Sulaymaan ibn Ash'ath, the author of Sunan
Abee Daawood, was a student of Imaam Ahmad who related many
issues from him, issues that are published today. He said,
describing the imaam, "I have not seen anyone like Imaam Ahmad
ibn Hambal. He never used to talk about the things that the people
talk loosely about from the worldly affairs, but if some affair of
knowledge was mentioned, he would talk."
To repeat the quote, "I have not seen anyone like Imaam Ahmad ibn
Hambal. He never used to talk about the things that the people talk
loosely about from the worldly affairs, but if some affair of
knowledge was mentioned, he would talk."
This attribute is certainly an attribute of the great imaams of the
most pious people, those who sternly dedicate their lives to what
benefit the people. The one who speaks about every affair does not
have the noble silence of the people of knowledge, or the silence of
the people of righteousness.
So therefore, a righteous person whose heart is attached to the
6. Next Life should be known by his silence when he does not speak,
and he should be known by his speech when he talks. His speech
is only about good things, and he keeps silent of evil affairs, as
Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted, says [2]:
( There is no good in most of their private gatherings, except
for those who order the people to give charity or order other
acts of kindness, or those who mend broken ties between
people )
Imaam Ahmad used to sit with his brothers occasionally, and
sometimes with his companions and students. He would also mix
with the common people as well. They would talk about a number
of affairs. But Imaam Ahmad would only speak if there was
something beneficial to be said. The benefit could be his teaching
the people or ordering them with righteousness. They said, "If some
affair of knowledge was mentioned, he would talk."
In reality, this concept has been put to the test. The heart is not
able to contain too many things, too many conflicting things inside
a person's character. So it is binding on the student of knowledge
to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to knowledge, first and
foremost. He must stay away from vain talk and wasting his time. If
he contemplates something, then he contemplates over some issue
related to knowledge. If he speaks, then he speaks about
knowledge. This will cause his life to take the task of seeking
knowledge head-on, and it will give him a strong desire to study.
As a result of this, the student's speech will differ from the speech
of other people. Why? That is because the student speaks the
language of the people of knowledge. He lives with the Companions
and their students. He lives with Maalik, Ash-Shaafi'ee, Ahmad,
and Sufyaan. He lives with Al-Bukhaaree and the imaams like Ibn
Khuzaymah and Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah. He lives with
the imaams of Islaam. He speaks with their words as he discusses
issues with them. He is immersed in their oceans of knowledge.
Hearing everything that the people talk about, and then engaging
in that talk with them, and then reading things from just anyone
and passing it on, all of this has an effect on the heart of the
Muslim in general, specifically it has a bigger effect on the heart of
7. the student of knowledge.
This means that a person must make a mental note to himself that
he must not allow his heart to be receptive to every single thing.
Rather he must define its course and clarify his methodology within
himself, and then he takes that path. And the greatest methodology
is that of the inheritors of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa
sallam), those who he spoke about, saying:
"Verily the prophets do not leave behind dirhams or deenaars,
rather they leave behind knowledge. So whoever receives some
of it, verily he has received an expansive treasure." [3]
What a great accomplishment it is for a man to contemplate about
his Religion, about knowledge, about that which brings him benefit!
And when he speaks, he only speaks about an issue that will
benefit him in his Religion, like ordering righteousness,
commanding the people to give charity, teaching, learning, and the
likes. Even in his everyday conversations, his desire for knowledge
is evident.
A man is raised in rank when he harnesses his eagerness for
things. The soul is eager for many different things, so do not let it
go to whatever it craves, force it to go after the things that Allaah,
the Mighty and Exalted, has sought from you.
Living in Fear of Allaah
Al-Marwoodee was one of Imaam Ahmad's companions and
students, and he relayed many issues from him. He said to Imaam
Ahmad, "O Abaa 'Abdilllaah! There are so many people that call on
you!" He looked at him and said, "I fear this may be something that
gradually leads me to something evil."
His student said to him, and he was truthful in what he said, "O
Abaa 'Abdillaah! There are so many people that call on you!" He
replied, "I fear this may be something that gradually leads me to
something evil." This kind of statement can only come from a heart
that fears Allaah and is fearful of meeting Him. It can only come
8. from one who knows that the heart changes states. It can only
come from someone who knows that this worldly life is nothing,
and that the Next Life is the reality.
Most of us, moreover all of us, except those whom Allaah has
exempted, if it was mentioned to us that the people are praising us,
or that the people are calling on us, we would be happy and
cheerful, perhaps we would even be delighted with ourselves.
So Imaam Ahmad said, remedying his soul, "I fear this may be
something that gradually leads me to something evil." The statement,
"I fear," shows that his heart had combined hope and fear, that he
had hoped, but was also afraid. When he heard something related
to a reward for his work, he said, "I fear this may be something that
gradually leads me to something evil."
He meant, "Verily, Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted, may be gradually
leading me into a punishment by this, testing me to see if I am
delighted with myself or not. Maybe Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted,
is gradually leading me to a punishment," as our Lord Himself, the
Mighty and Exalted, describes how he gradually punishes some
people [4]:
(And we will punish them gradually from places they know not,
so leave them to Me! Verily My Plan is strong! )
So they were destroyed. Therefore, this is what is binding on the
heart of the person of tawheed, the believer that it always remains
in fear. These days, the talks about the meaning of hope, they are…
OK. But the people have gone overboard with it, to the point that
many people rely on their hope in Allaah so much so that they have
lost any fear of Allaah, they rarely fear Him.
Everyone is hoping! The rewards for good deeds are mentioned,
along with the rewards for obedience. Some are working, some
making 'umrah, others are praying, some are reciting, etc. All of
this is from the understanding of hope. But where is the fear?
Where is the fear of Al-Jaleel, the Mighty and Exalted, may His
Names be exalted?
It is Allaah who described His Angels as being His Servants, and
9. that they are not overburdened. Even their breathing glorifies
Allaah, their actions are all actions of obedience, as the Prophet
(sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:
"The sky is full of sounds, and it should be. There is no space
the width of four fingers except that there is an angel in it
standing, bowing, or prostrating." [5]
All of this, while Allaah describes His Angels [6]:
( They fear their Lord from above them, and they do as they
are ordered )
So let every one of us examine our own selves in regards to this
statement of Imaam Ahmad. Where is the fear of Allaah in our
hearts? We have neglected obligations, and we all know our own
selves, so where is the fear? We have fallen into sins, while Allaah
has full knowledge of them, so where is the fear? We have neglected
the rights of others, so where is the fear?
We have neglected the rights of our believing brothers, by
backbiting and slandering them, by jealousy and envy, and by
oppression, so where is the fear of Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted?
Let every one of us motivate our own selves to have fear in our
actions! For verily fear will cause a heart to have humility,
submissiveness, and an eagerness to prepare for the meeting with
Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted.
This is indeed a great statement, the one said by Imaam Ahmad in
response to his student's remark about how many people call on
him, "I fear this may be something that gradually leads me to
something evil." May Allaah have Mercy on him, for what great
vision he had! His was a great affair!
In most of the gatherings that Imaam Ahmad attended, he would
sit with his head between his knees. It was said that this was the
position of a person of humility, one who contemplates about his
own self and his future, while remaining seated in a posture that a
person can not become haughty by it, nor seek to be seen by it.
When death approached Imaam Ahmad, the doctor saw the
10. excessive amount of blood in his urine and said, "This does not
happen except due to a fearful heart." He meant that the time of
death had caused him to reach that state.
Recognizing the Position of the Scholars
From his other noteworthy sayings, may Allaah have Mercy on him,
elevate his and our positions, and reward him with the best reward,
the most plentiful and loftiest one, "Whatever the scholars of
Ahlus-Sunnah have detested, then it is evil." He said
(repeating), "Whatever the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah have detested,
then it is evil." He meant that the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah are to
be referred to in affairs of what is to be considered evil and what is
not.
So whatever the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah have detested in the
issues of 'aqeedah, then it is evil. Whatever the scholars of Ahlus-
Sunnah have detested with regards to manners, then it is evil.
Whatever the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah have detested in affairs of
ordering righteousness and forbidding evil, then it is evil. This
means that a man must return to the scholars of the Sunnah if he
wants to know about the affairs of the Sunnah, about the proper
understanding of righteousness and evil.
So whatever the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah have detested, then it is
an evil thing, the evil of which we have no doubt in. This is indeed
a great lesson from Imaam Ahmad for every Muslim, that he must
follow and take guidance from the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah, those
who have great concern for the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallaahu
'alayhe wa sallam).
This goes for all aspects of tawheed, as well as acts of worship,
business transactions, manners, education, work, and all dealings
between people in the society. You must refer to the scholars of
Ahlus-Sunnah in these affairs. This will free your heart from your
desires. This will cause your heart to be detached from what your
intellect likes and dislikes. Therefore it is binding for us to be
followers, for us to return often to the people of knowledge, to the
11. people of the Sunnah for religious rulings.
For whatever the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah detest, then it is an evil
thing. That means that you do not classify things as being evil
according to your own opinion, nor do you get to know affairs by
way of your opinions, rather you must refer to the scholars of
Ahlus-Sunnah regarding the current and future affairs.
This is something that there is no doubt about, since the scholars
of Ahlus-Sunnah are the inheritors of the prophets and the guides
to the Sharee'ah. They are the ones that Imaam Ahmad spoke of
in the introduction to his book, "The praise is for Allaah, the One
who keeps a group of scholars available during the times when there
is no messenger, scholars who bring those who have strayed back to
the Guidance, curing their blindness and bringing them back to life
using Allaah's Book."
Therefore, they are the ones we refer to. The affairs are not about,
"Is this a bad thing or not? Should I reject it or not? Should I respond
or not? Is this correct or not?" These things must not come from a
person's independent judgements from his own opinions, rather he
must refer these matters back to the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah.
Why? That is because these things are affairs of 'aqeedah, affairs of
the Religion. Everyone claims that they understand the affair of
enjoining good and forbidding evil. The Khawaarij claimed it, and
thus stood up against the imaams. The Mu'tazilah claimed it, and
thus viewed the opposition of the imaams as being a good thing.
Like them, many groups claimed to be enjoining good and
forbidding evil, and thus stood up against the imaams. However,
the affair is to be according to the judgement of the scholars of
Ahlus-Sunnah, and whatever they have classified as being an evil
thing.
