 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السميل واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وارصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسان الى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى today we're going to be starting the explanation of the book نواقظ الإسلام written by شيخ الإسلام محمد ابن عبد الوهاب رحمه الله تعالى but before we start the book نواقظ الإسلام there is a need and I think it's at this particular moment the need for knowing some issues pertaining to تكفير and its principles is very vital so insha'Allah تعالى I'm going to shine some light on the بوابد and the شروط of تكفير the principles and the conditions that have been stipulated by the Kitab and the Sunnah which the Ulama have deducted from it the first point that I want to make as a introduction is التحذير من التكفير بغير بينا to stay away from and to be cautious of labeling a person kafir without any proofs الإمام البخاري والمسلم both of them narrated بخاري narrated in his صحيح and also Muslim narrated in his صحيح من حديث أبي هريرا from the حديث أبو هريرا that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said إذا قال الرجل إذا من says لأخيه to his brother يا كافير oh you disbeliever فقد باء به أحدهما this statement of his would go to one of the two so if somebody says to his brother oh kafir this statement will go towards one of the people the one who said it is one of the two so it's dangerous so if what you said about this person isn't kafir but they are not kafir okay they are not kafir then this statement comes back to you it comes back to you also أبي ذن ربي الله تعالى عنه he said I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say لا يرمي رجل رجلا بالفصوقي ولا يرميه بالكفري إلا رتدت عليه إلا ميقص صاحبه كذلك and the word here is the word of Bukhari that if a brother or a person throws the word فسق at a person this is a fasq or he throws at that person كفر and he ends up that this person is not a fasq nor is he a kafir إلا رتدت عليه except it will come back to you إلا ميقص صاحبه كذلك if the person you are saying this about is not kafir or he is not a fasq it will come back to you ولذلك you find that this time كفر and تكفير أهل السنة والجماعة when they came across these narrations and they came across the severity of these أحديث they added it to the books of أعتقاد the books of عقيدة and they spoke about this chapter known as الأسماء والأحكام names and what names and rulings and it's from the five foundations that a person becomes أهل السنة or he can leave أهل السنة the first of the five is مسائل الأسماء والأحكام the names and the rulings what do we mean by names and rulings we mean names that have rulings that come from it like for example the word كفر أل الفسق أل الظل البدع these are terms that are not just names they have with them what rulings and أحكام that come from it like the minute you throw at a person كفر and you say you're a kafir rulings will come from this it's not just a name that doesn't have no effect it has effect automatically he and his wife are separated he's not buried with the Muslims he's killed as an apostate أحكام you see the same is when you say a person is a مبتدح it's an ism that has a what أحكم that comes from it أل هجرو boycotting this person you see and etc comes from it so these terms أهل السنة والجماعة they saw that the people became إفراد or التفريط they were extreme in exaggeration or extreme in negligence أل هل السنة in all of the five أصول they always took the middle part they didn't go too extreme and they didn't go too negligent there's a حليت أبو داود narrated in his سنة in the chapter of بابن نهي عن البغي بابن في النهي عن البغي prohibition of oppression and إبنو حبان narrated it in the chapter of his book بابي ذكر الخبار الدالي على أن قول المرء لا يغفر الله لك ما قد يخاف عليه العقوبة he says the chapter of the narration that indicates that the person who says to his brother الله will not forgive you that it's feared for the punishment there's a long hadith this hadith is a brother of a brother so he's another brother his brother in faith he saw him committing so much sins so he said to him أقصر أخي stop doing this stop what you're doing and then he said to him the one who was sinning خليني وربي leave me between me and my lord leave me to my lord وربي have you been sent out علي رقيمة are you sent out to observe me is your job to really just scrutinize me and look at me every step that I take who sent you to me he said فقال then the other one responded he said والله by Allah لا يغفر الله لك الله will never forgive you الله will never forgive you الله will never forgive you is تكفير because the ones الله does not forgive are who the كفار so in another warning he says أولا يودخيلك الله الجن الله will not enter you into Jannah فقبض الله أرواحهم الله took both of their souls both of them فتتبع عند رب العالمين يبوثوا يبوثوا يبوثوا الله سبحانه وتعالى فقال the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وده he say فقال the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to the one who was striving hard to stop his brother from the crime he said to him the one who was stopping his brother from the sin the one who said الله will not forgive you or Allah will not enter you to paradise جنة the prophet said to him that Allah said were you one who was knowledgeable of my affairs Allah said do you know me are you knowledgeable about what I would do and what I wouldn't do he said that to him الله said أو كنت على ما في يدي قادرة or are you one who was able to do what was in my hands are you the one who gives out my mercy and my punishment around and sperses it and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said Allah said to the sinner the one who committed the sin إنهب go فدخوا للجنة انتa paradise جنة برحمتي with my mercy وقال للآخر أولاً يساعدت the second one إذهبوا به إلى الناس تأخذ هذا المنزل the one who took his brother out of out of the religion and made takfir on him أبو هوريرا right after narrating that hadith he said واللدي نفسي بيدي I swear by the Lord in which my soul is in his hand he said this man spoke a speech أو بقد دنيا هو أخراته it destroyed his world and he's hereafter this man said something that Allah will not forgive you الله سبحانه وتعالى will not have mercy on you or what this man spoke a statement that destroyed his dunya and his akhra ونذانك أهل السنة والجماعة ده علماء قرنب بعد قرن they won against this issue which is التكفير بغير بينا تكفير without no evidence and without no proofs if you look at الشيخ عبداللطيف ابن عبدالرحبان ابن حسن ابن محمد ابن عبداللوهب عبداللطيف ونذانك ده علماء وقائمة دعوة النجرية generally speaking ده علماء that are pointed out who really put down powerful knowledge from the دعوة قائمة النجرية are four the four the first of them is who of course محمد عبداللوهب is who محمد ابنه عبداللوهب the second one is what عبداللرحبان ابن حسن ابن محمد عبداللوهب do you author the كتاب فتح المجيد who is the grand son of محمد عبداللوهب these are prominent figures that stick out from the دعوة النجرية the third one is عبداللطيف the son of عبداللحبان عبداللطيف ابن عبداللرحبان ابن حسن ابن محمد عبداللوهب he is also prominent an individual the fourth one is محمد ابن عبداللوهب who is the son of who he is the grand son of who عبداللطيف محمد ابن عبداللوهب ابن عبداللطيف ابن عبداللحبان ابن حسن ابن محمد عبداللوهب those are the four and if one can be عادل down to that it would be الشيخ العلامة الوالد عبداللعزيز ابن عبداللحبن عبداللوهب ابن عبداللوهب is from the great Ima II the great imams are naged he may not be from the descendant of muhammad but he's from naged so عبداللطيف is one of those figures so, what did he say he said اتجاسر على تكفير من ظاهر هو الإسلام ليستند شمعي ولا برحال مرضي يخالف معه أئمة العلم من أهل السنة والجماعة وهذه الطريقة هي الطريقة أهل البدع والضلال ومن عد من خشة والتقوى فيما يزدر عنه من أقوال ولا فعل فقلت يقوم بعمل شخص كافر ويقوم بعمل تكفير على شخص who is an apparent essence is Islam شخص من الضاهر من الضاهر is a what من الضاهر is a visa he's a Muslim يقوم بعمل تكفير علىهم من غيري مستند شرعي without any legislation or evidence ولا برحال مرضين and you're making takfir on this person with no evidence that's pleasing do you see يخالف مع عليه this is an opposition this action of this individual is an opposition towards أئمة العلم the people of knowledge من أهل السنة والجماعة علماء أهل السنة والجماعة don't do that and this is one thing you find people accused تكفير تكفير تكفير and this is his grandchildren he's descended then they're saying making تكفير on a person who's أس ظاهر when we look he's a Muslim and we have no proof to make تكفير on them we have no مستند شرعي we have no texture every one قال الله قال الرسول this man is going to the messengers he's praying and then you find a person to say he's a kaffir he's a hypocrite he's a jasoul so this is this this is in opposition to the path of who the path of أهل العلم أهل السنة and this person is taken هي طريقة أهل البنع والضلال it's the path of the people of innovation and it's the path of the people of this guidance ومن عودي من خشية and it's a person who fear of Allah has been taken away from them أهل خشية ولا تقوى أن they have no pie to this person فيما يصدوا عنه these things that are coming from you is an indication to us you ain't got no تقوى or no خشية من الأقوال ولا فعالي in your speech and in your actions you don't have it there are many statements from the أهل العلمة I advise anybody who can buy this book that I have with me right now it's called في بياني أحكام التكفير شروط وضوابط وشو مهند and it's written by one of sheikh al-Nu'athay means very elite students he's very close students his name is he's a teacher who teaches in قصيم جامعة القصيم he teaches there this book that he wrote has been read and it also has been commented on and even benefits have been put on by who is a أهل العلمة and he's also a he is a member of the committee of senior scholars and he's also a member of a permanent committee so this it really deals with this issue of it mentions conditions it mentions and it also even tackles the doubts and the to make the fear of people and to say because of this this is very beneficial if you don't have it try to get it insha'Allah it will benefit you a lot anyone who observes insha'Allah anyone who observes the we realize that the actually came to explain to us the reality of Islam the Quran is actually his job is to explain to us and the pillars Islam stands on and also the things that are obligatory for a person's Islam and also what opposes the essence of Islam and what will nullify your Islam the Quran works hard towards explaining that and anything that's in a position to Islam the same way when it comes to Iman the Quran came to explain the reality and the definition of Iman what does the Iman actually mean what's his pillars that he stands on what is the things that cause the Iman to increase and what are the things that cause the Iman to reduce and what's actually the essence of Iman in the sense where what is its foundation and what is it that which completes Iman the Quran is full of that which is also the same thing the Quran and the Sunnah have come to define what Ihsan means its meaning its pillars which it stands on and what does Ihsan revolve around the Quran and the Sunnah have actually come to explain those things and it's given it a meaning and an understanding now these terms Islam, Iman and Ihsan they are شرع terms they are legislational terms meaning its words and its terms which the شريعة has abused when you want to define it you take it from the شريعة when you want to speak about what is it you have to take it from the Kitab of the Sunnah just like you can't say this act is obedient this thing is obedience and this is disobedience without no evidence can you say that this will bring you closer to Allah the Kitab of the Sunnah it's the same way that you can't make what something Islam when it's not Islam or to take something out of Islam when it's part of Islam without no evidence from the Kitab of the Sunnah the same with Iman the same with Ihsan that the person requires مستنة شرعي texture evidence قال الله قال الرسول and that which the Ummah have unanimously agreed upon and you can't make something haram with what without any evidence from the Kitab of the Sunnah so a lot of times you find people make تقفير on the issue of حكم بغير ما انزال الله بإطلاقه and restrictedly there are some forms when running by other than الله has sent down his kufr أكبر and insha'Allah will expand on that there are times when it's kufr أكبر and the person will leave the fold of Islam but from the madhab خوارج is that الكفر من دون الله الحكم بغير ما انزال الله they believe it is kufr جملة وتفصيلة unrestrictedly this is from the foundations خوارج so what are they doing right now they are doing الحكم بغير ما انزال الله themselves because they are making تقفير of something they don't have no مستنة شرعي for it and that which they are accusing knows who are making Halal that which is Haram you are now making تقفير that which is not kufr you are making تقفير and making كفر of something that is not that is not kufr ولي ذلك all of those things if you do it with how I desire it goes against madhab and the path of Ahli Sunnah and the fifth volume of his مجموع الفتاة page 544 he says واتحريبة to say something is wajib and to say something is Haram وثواب والعقاب to say something you get rewarded for or you get punished for واتكفير واتفسيق and to say this thing is kufr and this thing is fisq transgression and oppression this is of Allah the only one who can make something wajib who can make something Haram who can make something connect a reward to it also connect punishment to it make تقفير on something say this thing is fast fisq is only Allah ليس لأحد في هذا حكم there is no one who has the right to pass that حكم وإنما على الناس إجابه الله ورسول and upon the people is to make obligatory that which Allah and His Messenger have made obligatory and what's also upon the people is واتحريمو مع حرامه الله ورسوله to make Haram that which Allah and His Messenger have made Haram there's no other path open for you you can't make something kufr and say this is kufr أكبر and you also can't you also can't make something واجب or Haram you need all of that from what you need it from again a textual evidence and this ideology brothers of تقفير being used loosely it came at a very early stage in Islam this ideology this deviation from the straight path the middle path the first bid'a the first innovation that ever occurred that in this religion what we're talking about الحراف عقدي عقيدة related deviation was the the bid'a of the khawarij and this is when they they exited the leadership of عليب البيضطالب and they left him this was when the year was سبعين وثلاثين after what اثلاث تحكيم الحكميني وان عليب البيضطالب and معاوية both placed two individuals to represent them عليب البيضطالب and he sent عمر بن العاص to represent him عليب البيضطالب sorry he sent and معاوية sent him عمر بن العاص after that issue after that issue after that issue it caused the occurrence and the coming of this deviated group the khawarij so عليب البيضطالب every works and books that they written in عقيدة since this was the first deviation they always won against the khawarij and they speak against them and that was because of their غلو اكسريميزم in تكفير without any evidence and this is what we heard شيخ الاسلام بيبن تيمس said وليهاد يجبه it is obligatory الاحتراظ بالتكفير المسلمينة placing a lot of people with the noob based on sins والخطايا and the chuk that they come with stay away from that فإنه أول بيضعة انظهرت في الاسلام because this is the first innovation and deviation that has occurred in what that has occurred في الاسلام فكفر أهلوها المسلمين خوارج they made تكفير المسلمين واستحلوا دماءهم وأموالهم and these are the the result and the outcome that comes from تكفير بلد is the made permissible تكفير once تكفير is placed on you what's happened your blood is permissible when someone who's reading the news would see what took place in Somalia 300 people approximately got blasted so تكفير comes first when the تكفير comes first then استحلوا دماء المسلمين making permissible for yourself the blood of the Muslims واموالهم and their wealth the person will say the money of the people are permissible for me so this became a sickness they passed on to each other they passed on to each other و لذلك the Prophet ﷺ told us that these people will be coming كلما ظهر قربهم قطر every time a group of them come out they are cut and then another group of them comes out and they are cut meaning they are fault they go every group that comes they get killed they get destroyed next one comes ISIS came now they are being destroyed then the Prophet ﷺ said حتى يخرج آخرهم until the last of them group that comes out will come out with the Dajjal they will be in the midst of the Dajjal so they are the ones who are telling the people what they are the ones who are telling the people الحكم غير ما انزل الله جملة وتفصيلة they will be found in the midst of the khawarij البغدادير رحمه الله سيزينز كتاب الفرق بين الفرق وليس فريق وليس فريق من فرق مخالفين إلا وفيهم تكفيروا بعضهم لبعضهم البغدادير قال that there is no group that opposes the people of Sunnah and Jaba'a except that they make تكفير of one another وتبدل بعضهم من بعضهم and that they free one another from each other كالخوارج والروافذ والقدرية حتى اجتماع سبعة منهم في مجلس واحد ففترقوا عن تكفير بعضه بعضا today all these groups the khawarij, the rawafid and the qadria all of them they make takfir of each other until they all came together 7 of them came together one time in a gathering and they all made takfir of each other أهل السنة الجبعة don't do that أهل السنة الجبعة وصار كثير من أهل البدعي مثل الخوارج والروافذ والقدرية والجهمية والممثلة يعتقدون اعتقادا هو الظلال يرونه هو الحق ويرون كفر من خالافهم في ذلك أهل البدعي مثل الخوارج والروافذ وممثلة يعتقدون they believe a belief they believe is misguided أهل الحق first of all they believe is misguided they have a misguided ideology in their head يرونه هو الحق but they see this to be the truth the khawarij believes what he is upon is the truth the qadri the rafid the murethil this is what they believe to be true but it's misguided what they believe is misguided ويرون كفر من خالفهم في ذلك but they see the takfir of the one who opposed them so the misguided concept that he had in his head he now is making you a kafir for opposing him in it إن شاء الله تعالى now that I've spoken about the first point which is the seriousness and staying away from takfir and not making sure that you don't fall into it I now want to إن شاء الله تعالى go in بإدن الله الكريم with baby this lesson and the next two lessons to come the following points إن شاء الله تعالى I want to be إن الله الكريم give a quick summary of what Iman is according to Ahli Sunnah and Jama'a what is Iman according to Ahli Sunnah and Jama'a and what are the groups that opposed Ahli Sunnah and Jama'a in the issue of Iman I also want to speak about إن شاء الله تعالى when did this idea start when did it come into place that takfir بغير دليل without any evidences and what was its causes I'm also إن شاء الله تعالى I'm also إن شاء الله تعالى I'm also إن شاء الله تعالى going to define what kufr means the definition of kufr and I'm also going to explain what is the difference between kufr and shirk بإدن الله الكريم إن شاء الله تعالى after defining what kufr means and the usage of kufr according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah when the Qur'an uses the kufr what does it actually mean I'm going to be إن الله الكريم move to terms that are very similar with kufr which is a shirk a ظلم and a الفسق and what is usage and what does it mean in the Kitab and the Sunnah I'm also إن شاء الله تعالى going to shine some light on the issue of the difference between kufr and nifa hypocrisy where they come together and where they differ I'm also بإدن الله الكريم going to go into the types of kufr and the shu'ab and the branches of kufr and here I'm going to divide the kufr into six types or seven types بإذن الله الكريم six types إن شاء الله six types and six categorization of the kufr بإذن الله الكريم and I'm also إن شاء الله تعالى going to then إن شاء الله تعالى mention the foundations and principles I'm going to tell the Sunnah and the Jama'a where they use when it comes to تكفير and how for one he can stay away from those those ideologies of those groups that have come so that's in summary what to be إن الله الكريم I'm going to be speaking about before we start the book because if we agree upon these points when we go into the book and we study the book and I say that the ruling for this particular issue is this إن شاء الله تعالى إن شاء الله تعالى بإذن الله الكريم let's start with the first point that I want to speak about which is حقيقة الإيمان عند أهل السنة والجماعة what does إيمان mean قول إن تأهل السنة والجماعة so there are many definitions of an iman one is the definition of أهل السنة والجماعة the people of misguidance
