4 - Tawheed of Lordship (Rububiyya)- Fundamentals of Faith - Yasir Qadhi

In this episode, Ustadh Yasir Qadhi explains the first category of Tawheed. Tawheed of Allah's Lordship.

...Knowledge is the discerning proof of what is right and what is wrong, and it is the positive force that will help you surmount the trials of comfort, as well as those of hardships. Knowledge is your most powerful sword against your enemy, and finally, it is your most dignifying raiment in the company of your close companions."
-- Mu'aadh ibn Jabal, radi' Allaahu 'anhu

Before a student of knowledge masters the complexities of Arabic grammar, the intricacies of fiqh, or the details of hadeeth criticism, he or she must have firm knowledge and belief in the fundamentals of our deen. Our 'aqeedah is the pillar by which our deen stands firm, the fertile land from which all of our actions blossom, and it is the foundation from which all other Islamic sciences grow.

'Aqeedah is linguistically derived from the term 'aqadah' - a verb which means "to hold fast to" or "to establish". According to our scholars, 'aqeedah is the firm creed and beliefs that one's heart is fixed upon without any wavering or doubt. Are we certain about these beliefs to which our hearts should be tied? How well do we know the fundamental tenets of Islam, relating to our eman in Allah (swt), in the prophets, the books, the angels, the Last day and Qadr [fate]?

Imam Abu Haneefah, rahimahullah, called his work on 'aqeedah "al-Fiqh al-Akbar" (The Greater Understanding), while he referred to shari'ah as simply, "the understanding of science". This series of lectures is an opportunity to grasp this 'greater understanding', to grant us deeper awareness and knowledge about the crucial beliefs that form the skeleton of Islam, and to tie our hearts to these truths.

Yasir Qadhi was born in Houston, Texas and completed his primary and secondary education in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He graduated with a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Houston, after which he was accepted as a student at the Islamic University of Madinah. After completing a diploma in Arabic, he graduated with a B.A. from the College of Hadith and Islamic Sciences. Thereafter, he completed a M.A. in Islamic Theology from the College of Dawah.

His published works include Riya'a: The Hidden Shirk, Du'aa: The Weapon of the Believer, and An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'an.

Yasir Qadhi is currently pursuing his doctorate, in Religious Studies, at Yale University in New Haven, CT.

MashaAllah tawheed is the best place to start

[hassiba2233]

@stopjunkscience think a little: before the universe, there was God Allah. He created the universe. If There was nothing then NOTHING would have been created. 1+0=1 but 0+0=0.

You exist, the Universe exists therefore there is a CREATOR. Your only master IS God Allah all the others who pretend to be masters are exactly what you have said liars, tyrants, thieves, oppressors. Knowing the real God is a liberation from oppression. Be wise, think and read elQur'an.

Peace Salam.

Listen everybody...our conscious existence is all there is. Before and after there is simply nothing. When people accept this, far from being terrifying it is liberating because you make damm sure your life is as stress free as possible but most of all fun. Our masters also know that we will want a bigger slice of the cake too! All religions enslave the mind and the governments enslave the body, and Yes it is that simple... get it?
