 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِيهِ أَيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوْ وَأَقُولُ قالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوْهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُوْ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشد الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحقا وهو يهدي السبيل واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الديل أما بعد إن شاء الله إتعالى أنا سأتحدث عن وفعلت تفسير كلمة التوحيد وما سأفعل إن شاء الله إتعالى لتفكير من ثلاثة توحيد أريد أن أتحدث عن فضله لا إله إلا الله فضله ومعنى هو its meaning وأهمية له and its importance لذا ثلاثة أشياء إن شاء الله إتعالى هو ما سأتفكير في this session بإذن الله الكريم وعندما you do finish this session I hope that you understand the virtue that this word لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله it holds and the meaning that is in it and how important it is some of you might think to yourselves are you ready know لا إله إلا الله I'm a Muslim and so what I want to say to you is it's a reminder and the reminder benefits a benefits the believer as Allah سبحانه وتعالى said in the Quran وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين remind for very little reminder benefits the believer so even if you know it will be a reminder for you and insha'Allah تعالى that will be إذن الله الكريم benefit you my beloved brothers and sisters who are listening توحيد is أول واجب it's the first obligation on every one of us and it's not only the first obligation rather it's the last obligation the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he sent معادي من جبل to Yemen where did he send معادي he sent معادي to Yemen and the Prophet said to Muad إنك ستأتي قومن من أهل الكتاب معادي you're going to meet you're going to come into contact with the people of the scripture they are a people who have a scripture they have a book they have a religion the Prophet said فليكن أول ما تدعوهم let the first thing you call them to be what شهادة الله إلا الله let the first thing that you call them to and the first thing that you command them to come with let it be لا إله إلا الله so the messenger said إنك ستأتي قومن من أهل الكتاب you're going to come to a people of the scripture the أهل الكتاب إذا يهود النصارة فليكن لر it be أولا the first thing تدعوهم that you call them to be what شهادة الله إلا الله let that be the first thing that you call them that you call them to and every prophet every messenger who came this is what he called his nation and his people to الله سبحانه وتعالى he tells us in the Quran إذ جاءتهم الرسل من بين ايديهم ومن خلفهم اللى تعبدوا إلا الله prophets before and after those who came all of them they called their people to and they started their message with by say what اللى تعبدوا إلا الله don't worship anyone other than الله عز وجل لا إله إلا الله every prophet said to his nation and his people يا قوم عبد الله ما لكم من إله إلا worship Allah alone you have no other Lord deserving of worship other than Allah عز وجل let him be the first one that you worship so every prophet did that and نبي الله محمد when he came to the people of Makkah and he started his message the first thing that he called them to was what لا إله إلا الله the Salah after 10 years of his prophecy 10 years the Salah was made obligatory 3 years in Makkah was when the Salah was made obligatory the prophet was in Makkah for 13 years 13 13 years 10 years of that was only Tawheed and then the Salah came which is the second pillar of Islam in the last 3 years of Makkah and then the prophet still didn't stop calling to Tawheed because the Salah is the manifestation of لا إله إلا الله the Salah is your action and your proof of لا إله إلا الله is that you stand up in front of Allah and that you pray 5 times a day you put your face on the floor with complete love and complete humiliation for him and humility so the prophet SAW 13 years in Makkah and 10 years in Medina he did not stop one day calling to Tawheed so it's the first obligation that we need to come with and it's the last the prophet SAW he said لا إله إلا الله الإمام المسلم narrated this hadith from two companions the first companion is and the second one is and the second one is the prophet SAW لا إله إلا الله the one from amongst you who is on his deathbed he is going to departure from this world and he is no longer going to live remind him to say the word اما تسأل لا إله إلا الله remind him it's آخر واجب it's the last obligation it was the first and it was what it is the last that's the status and the position and he said من قال لا إله إلا الله anyone who says لا إله إلا الله بزار narrated this بسنده على شرط إمام المسلم بسند صحيح على شرط المسلم بزار narrated this with a chain of narration which is صحيح rather it's the condition of an Imam Muslim that the prophet SAW من قال لا إله إلا الله anyone who says لا إله إلا الله when he's on his deathbed he's about to leave the world دخل الجنة he will enter Jannah يوم من الدهري one day وإن أصابه ما أصابه the prophet said anyone who says لا إله إلا الله when he's on his deathbed he will one day enter Jannah even if it happens to him whatever happens to him meaning if he even ends up going to the hellfire for a period of time he will still go to Jannah one day لا إله إلا الله will take you to Jannah one day لا إله إلا الله it has great virtues the prophet SAW said أفضلوا الدعاء يوم عرفة the best supplication is the supplication of the day of Arafa that's the best supplication وأفضلوا ما قلتوا أنا يوم من قبل لا إله إلا الله the prophet SAW he said the best thing me and all of the previous prophets the best thing that we said the best is لا إله إلا الله أفضلوا سيغة المبالغة على وزن أفعل the best it's a supplative in the Arabic language the greatest the best thing that I and all the prophets that came before me said was لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له الامام ترميدي narrated in a different wedding but the wedding that I just narrated is narrated by Malik in his muata الامام Malik narrated in his muata رحمه الله تعالى the prophet SAW was one day asked أمن الحسنات لا إله إلا الله is لا إله إلا الله from the hasanat righteous deeds is it from it the prophet SAW he responded and he said he أفضلوا الحسنات it's not just from the good things it's the greatest righteous deed that a person can come with which is what لا إله إلا الله the messenger SAW he told us in a hadith that نبي الله نوح نبي الله نوح he called his nation for 950 years دعوة for 900 and what 50 years when we look at the Quran and when we look at the sunnah we don't know anything of the دعوة of نبي الله نوح except that he called Tawheed brothers pay attention here this is a very important point so allah said and we sent nooh to his country so they couldn't pass him 1050 ten years نوح was sent inвиres for 950 years from the sisr the legislation and the rules and regulations we don't find mention for his Nabil except that he called his people to what نوح التوهيد came and got that يجب أن يكون هناك أخرى مجموعة التي قلتها ولا شكة دواء لكن القرآن قلتها و السنة قلتها أن نحن مفتوح على أن تأكد أن الناس يفهم و يفهم و يفهم الواد لا إله إلا الله و نبي الله نحن نحن 950 سنوات و يقوم بكتبه ليس كثير من الناس يقوم بكتبه كما قال الله وما أمان معه إلا قليل فالكون who believed in Noah were very literally number فالشخص who believed in Noah were a group who could go on a arc including animals as well that's all that followed him There doesn't mean that the Da'wah of Nabilah in Noah was wrong That doesn't mean that he didn't do what was told he did exactly what he was told to do and he followed the commandments of Allah but the religion is not about how many followers that you have وكيف الناس يوضعونه ؟ فهي يعني أن يفعل ما الله يتعب with كذلك النبي الله النوح أنه صعب بالتوحيد الله يلاللله ونهي سنحظه كيف فعله على محبه الإيمان مسلم يرأي في الصحيح أن النبي الله النوح يجعله بإسطة انه يقوم بأمركم بالا إله إلا الله أمركم بالا إله إلا الله وقوم بإسطة I command you بلا إله إلا الله سُكتُهِ السُن On his deathbed نُوحِز just before his about to die إِسَتُهِ سَنْ أَامُرُكَ بِلا إلا الله فَإِنَّ الْأَرَاضِينَ فَإِنَّ الْسَمَوَاتِ السَّبَةِ والأراضِينَ السَّبَة لو وُضِعت في كِفَّةٍ ووُضِعت لا إله إلا الله في كِفَّةٍ رجحت بهِنَّ لا إله إلا الله نبي الله نُوحُ سَد if the seven heavens were placed on one scale and the seven earth was placed on one scale sorry sorry the seven heavens and the seven earths were both placed on one side of the scale and لا إله إلا الله was placed on the second side of the scale لا إله إلا الله والآويت رجحت بهِنَّ لا إله إلا الله فَإِنَّ الْأَرَاضِينَ فَإِنَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبَةِ we are talking about the seven heavens we are talking about the seven earths لا إله إلا الله والآويت all of that brothers if you look at the Quran today you read from Surah al-Fatiha and then you read Surah al-Baqarah and then like that the Quran starts with which Surah Surah al-Fatiha right that's why it's called the opening the Quran starts from Fatiha the first command that you will come to is يا أيها الناس سعبود ربكم الذي خلقكم والذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون the first order is عبد الله واشب الله لا إله إلا الله عبد الله بن عباسن he said wherever you find the word عبد ربكم من القرآن it means اي وحيد الله singu Allah لا إله إلا الله عبد الله بن عباسن again if you read the Quran from Surah al-Fatiha you open the Quran and you start the Quran the first prohibition the first نهي that you're going to come to is فلا تجعلوا لله أنداد وانتم تعلمون do not associate partners with Allah when you know that shirk so the first thing that was commanded if you look at the opening of the Quran is what التوحيد لا إله إلا الله and the first prohibition is what الشرك الله referred to توحيد لا إله إلا الله referred to it as كلمة الطيبة الله said ألم ترى كيف ضرب الله مثلا كلمة طيبة كشجرة طيبة أصلها ثابت وفرعها في السماء الله said كلمة طيبة يبن جرير الطبري رحمه الله يسأل كلمة الطيبة إن اس آية مينز لا إله إلا الله الربيع ابن آنسل يسأل ألم ترى كيف ضرب الله مثلا كلمة طيبة كشجرة طيبة أصلها ثابت وفرعها في السماء كلمة الطيبة الربيع ابن آنسل يسأل مينز لا إله إلا الله الله referred to كلمة التوحيد لا إله إلا الله as كلمة الطيبة الله also referred to it as كلمة التقوى وألزمهم كلمة التقوى وكانوا أحق بها وأهلها وألزمهم كلمة التقوى كلمة التقوى هي what is it mean إمينز لا إله إلا الله ابن جرير الطبري سدت إن استفسير وألزمهم كلمة التقوى what is it mean إمينز لا إله إلا الله وإذن كلمة التقوى what is it mean brothers in the Arabic language التقوى comes from the word الوقاية what does وقاية mean وقاية means to prevent yourself to shield yourself from something when you come with كلمة التوحيد you come with الوقاية من النار you shield yourself from the hellfire لا إله إلا الله what does it shield you from it protects you and it shields you from the hellfire الله سبحانه و تعالى He also referred to لا إله إلا الله as what دعوة الحق الله سبحانه و تعالى دعوة الحق له له دعوة الحق دعوة الحق إنسآية what does it mean دعوة الحق means لا إله إلا الله الله also referred to it as حق لا إله حق الله referred to it as الله تعالى يسيز ولا يملك الذين يدعون من دونه الشفاعة إلا من شهد له إلا من شهد بالحق إلا من شهداء except the one who testifies with what بالحق with truth حق هي means it means لا إله إلا الله it means لا إله إلا الله so كلمة الطيبة means لا إله إلا الله وألزمهم كلمة تقوى و كانوا حق بها و أهلها means لا إله إلا الله له دعوة الحق it means لا إله إلا الله عبدالله من عباس قتاديت من الدعامة السدوسيا and others said it and also له دعوة الحق sorry the ayah الله تعالى يسيز إلا من شهداء بالحق وهم يعلمون it means لا إله إلا الله لا إله إلا الله my beloved brothers and sisters it is a term because it has that station because it has that position and because it's something that we need to say regularly and we need to say continuously on our it has to be on our tongue all the time it's from those letters that every person can pronounce لا إله إلا الله ponder over it they are not from the حروف of the Arabic language which are hard to be pronounced the حرف of God it's hard to pronounce it the حرف خق it's hard for some people to pronounce it وما إلا ذلك لا إله إلا الله are from the حروف which is simple for anyone to say and it's easy also number 2 لا إله إلا الله if you لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله if you ponder over it you will realize that it's مهملا it doesn't have no dots لا إله إلا الله لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله it doesn't have any any dots there's no dots and the scholars they said the reason why it doesn't have dots is the way that the dots were stripped from it you need to strip شرك from yourself and you need to strip those dots from your heart in associating partners with Allah then the شرك what does it do إذا أذنب عبدي ذنب النكت تتفيق قلبه نكتة تسودة when the person commits a sin and goes against Allah's command what happens to his heart a black dot is placed so the person what does he do he strips the same way that the dots were stripped from لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله you strip from your heart associating partners with Allah لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله is seven words how many words seven words لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله counted seven words and the scholars they said these seven words are going to save you from the seven doors of the Hellfire الله سبحانه وتعالى he said about جهنم he said لها سبعة أبواب لكل باب منهم جزء مقصوم جهنم has family doors الله mentions that he has seven doors وإن جهنم لما وعدهم أجمعين لها سبعة لها سبعة أبواب لكل باب منهم جزء مقصوم those seven words they will protect you from the Hellfire they will what they will protect you from the Hellfire but the type of protection that they can protect you from the Hellfire is in two ways the first type of protection is بالكلية meaning you will not enter the Hellfire at all and it will take you to جنة and you will not fall into the Hellfire and the second protection it will do for you is it will protect you from everlasting in the Hellfire a group of people even though they have come with لا إله إلا الله but because they have committed other crimes they will end up in the Hellfire but لا إله إلا الله still has so much power that it can still take you out of the Hellfire so even if you لا إله إلا الله that you came with was weak it will still protect you from and it will still save you from staying in the Hellfire forever so لا إله إلا الله has that position brothers and it has that position now that we've understood the virtue of لا إله إلا الله and there's so much other things that can be said about this word I wanna insha'Allah تعالى wanna go into its meaning and I wanna conclude with that insha'Allah تعالى what is the meaning of لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله brothers the word لا لا at the beginning in Arabic it's called نفي نفي is what it's a negation you're negating and in the Arabic language grammatically in نحو the scholars of grammar they mention لا النافية the law of negation what did we just say right now is you're negating you are refusing the لا النافية in the Arabic language are two types this is very important that you understand this لا النافية that come in the Arabic language في كلام العرب نوعان it's how many types? it's two types the first one and I'm going to break it down and you will understand once I finish explaining why I mention this the first type is اللي تعمل عمال ليس the first one is called so how many types of لا did we say they were in the Arabic اللي تعمل عمال ليس there are two types the first one is called اللي تعمل عمال ليس the first لا it does and it comes with the same things that ليس does this لا it resembles and it plays the role of ليس اللي تعمل عمال ليس what did ليس used to do in the Arabic grammar what does ليس do so first of all what does it enter it's me right مبتدأ أنا what does it do and what does it do ترفع it does نصب of the what so the Arabs they say ترفع الإسم وتنصب الخبر so in the Arabic language the person will say ليس راجلون قائمًا صح ليس راجلون look at the last letter راجلون قائمًا that's what ليس does right this لا it does the same thing you say the same thing لا راجلون قائمًا it does the same thing as ليس but this type of negation this type of negation the first type اللي تعمل عمال ليس it does the same thing as ليس the scholars they say تنفل وحدة وتحتمل العموم it doesn't negate everything it doesn't negate everything for example what did I just say ليس راجلون قائمًا لا رجلون قائمًا قائمًا no man is standing right this لا it only negated one man standing so that means two men are standing or three or four or five so the لا that comes as ليس it's negation is not strong does that make sense it only negates one but it doesn't negate all that's why the scholars they say تنفل وحدة وتحتمل العموم and there's a possibility they can negate everything the second type is this making sense to everybody the second type of negation is تعمل عمال إِنَّا this one does the it resembles إِنَّا إِنَّا is the opposite of ليسا ليسا is from أخوات كانا right إِنَّا what does it do إِنَّا does the opposite of what ليسا does which was what إِنَّا what does it do it does تنصب الإسما and what does it do وترفع القبارة are we all together so what do you say you say إِنَّا الرجولا إِنَّا رجولا قائم إِنَّا رجولا قائم إِنَّا رجولا قائم very early a man is standing right what do you say إِنَّا رجولا قائم لكن it does the same job as the إِنَّا so what does it become لا رجولا لا رجولا قائم لا رجولا قائم this type of لا that does the same thing as إِنَّا this one it's called نفجينسين meaning when we say لا رجولا قائم it means there's not one or two or three or four or five or six or ten or a thousand or a million are standing so the second type of negation is what عموم and it's نصون في العموم meaning it shows that it's an ultimate negation and that's the one that is in كلمة التوحيد لا إله لله does that make sense brothers the لا in كلمة التوحيد is the second type which is that when you say لا إله you're negating fully does that make sense you're not saying there's two or three any whatsoever لا إله إلا الله لكن the scholars they mentioned that the condition for the لا to be إنة or to resemble إنة and not ليس they mentioned seven conditions and he mentioned only two conditions he says one of the conditions I want to focus on here I don't want to go too much into the other conditions because they don't concern us now I only want to mention one pay attention please pay attention I know I don't want to go too technical and that wasn't my game but I really want to show you how important it is to understand this because لا إله لله is Arabic and if you feel you understand what is being said here when you next time say لا إله لله لا إله لله لا إله لله and you do your ذكر you feel it in your heart لا هيا brothers we just said right now you know what it's the second type and this is you're negating any إله other than Allah are we all together you're negating that but the scholars they said when do we say it's the first type of negation and the second type how do we is that an easy question do you all understand that question how many types of negation of لا did we mention 2 the first one we said is and the second one we said is we said that right when do we put it in the first category and when do we put it in the second category the scholars they said it's placed in the second category the strong negation when it meets seven conditions and the great great grammar he didn't mention seven he only mentioned two he actually mentioned one but within that one two comes under it I'm not going to mention all of them I'm only going to mention one condition because that's what I want to focus on one of the conditions is the اسم and the خبر both of them have to be نكرة they have to be indefinite does that make sense the اسم that لا is using the noun that لا is using and the خبر both of them have to be indefinite listen to what I just said right now لا رجل لا رجل here is it a man you know or is it indefinite a man huh indefinite لا رجل if I said are رجل now it becomes definite it's the man are we all together brothers here is لا رجل لا رجل لا so what do you learn from that you learn from here is that the رجل is indefinite and قائم of course is indefinite that's no problem this is let's go to كلمة التوحيد because we said كلمة التوحيد is a second time right لا إله إله is it indefinite إله إله is it indefinite إله إله is it indefinite is it indefinite is it indefinite or indefinite is it indefinite سيبوي he said الله is أعرف المعارف الله كان بينكرة الله is there is no one we know more better than Allah so the اسم has to be نكرة and the خبر has to be نكرة and كلمة التوحيد the خبر is actually معارف المعارف which is Allah so how did we say that it is the second type how do we put it in the second type this is where the scholars then said the خبر is not Allah the خبر is not the خبر here is حق the word حق is the خبر and then the scholars said why did you choose the word حق for why did you bring the خبر as حق because they said Allah said in the Quran ذلك بأن الله هو الحق وأنما يدعون من دونه هو الباطل are we all together and some said they bought a jar أنا مجرور and they said بحق وما إله ذلك لكن حق one word is good so what do we say now let's go back to the meaning لا إله لا what does it mean that there is no إله there is deserving حق إلا الله except Allah there is a خبر right to make it a نكرة and the reason why we chose حق is because it's found in the it's found in the Quran Allah used that ذلك بأن الله هو الحق الله is حق right so we use the word حق and the reason why we say it's a نكرة is because حق can be used for other than Allah so since it can be used for other than Allah it's not definite anymore it makes sense brothers لا إله means there is nothing that we worship the word worship in the English language I only use it to just make it close to you to understand but it's not a correct translation for the word عبادة عبادة is bigger than worship عبادة what does it mean and then we're going to conclude عبادة brothers when you look at it you have to look at it from two angles how many angles do you have to look at it from two angles the first angle that you need to look at it is how would you do the عبادة and how do you do something the scholars they mention if you're doing something for Allah you need to do it with complete love and you need to do it with complete what humility and humiliation and humbleness for example we take our face we put it into the floor who are we doing this for Allah we've put it ourselves low صح so we humbled ourselves but when you're doing it are you in love with Allah are you in love with Allah of course you're doing it for love you may be forced by someone who say to you prostrate to me and out of fear you may prostrate to him but are you doing it with love so he can never get those two the only one who can get those two is Allah ولي ذلك امر القيم says it is وعبادة وعبادة الرحمن غاية حبه وخضوع قاصده هما قطماني وعبادة الرحمن غاية حبه وخضوع قاصده هما قطماني وخطوة الأحض إلن وخطوة التترحين for whom for Allah that's how you do the عبادة here the second thing is what is a عبادة what can I say this is a عبادة the scholars said عبادة is اسم جامع لكل ما يحبه الله ويرضاه بناء الأقوال والأعمال الظاهرة والباطلة عبادة is speech إيمان ده is actions. so إيمان ده can be what? speech. it can also be what? actions. these actions are external and what? internal. and also the scholars they believe the speech is external and internal. for speech has two comes out from it external and internal and action. two come out of it which is what? external and? how do we know that Allah loves this action? how do we know that this action is إيمان ده? Allah has to love it and Allah has to be pleased with it. its speech and its actions. Allah loves it and he's what? how do we know Allah loves it and Allah is pleased with it? the سكولس here they say only through the Prophet. none of us here has met Allah. none of us have. the only way that we know Allah loves this and that this is pleasing to him سبحانه وتعالى is through the Prophet. الطرق كلها مسدودة. all of the roads are blocked. all of the roads are closed. the only road that is open to Allah is the road that نبي الله سلى الله عليه وسلم. so عبادة is built on what Allah loves and what he's pleased with. it could be speech and it could be once it meets that definition I gave you you are not allowed to divert it for anyone other than Allah. that's حق الله. it's the right Allah has of his creation. Allah said in the Quran وقضى الله ربك ألا تعبدو إلا إياه وبالوالدين إحسانا إما يبلغان عندك الكبر أحدهما أو قلاهما فلا تقول لهما أف ولا تنهرهما وقول لهما قولا كريمة وقفض لهما جلاحة ذلي من الرحمة وقل رب رحبهما كما رب ياني الصغيرة. إنه ندأ أيها الله تبارك وتعالى يسين وعبدو الله ولا تشيخو بيشة وعبدو الله. so you have to learn the word عبادة. and what it what it means in order to understand لا إله إلا الله. there is many money many many more things that can be said. there's many other things that I had in mind to cover which were the conditions of لا إله إلا الله. the conditions and the prerequisites that are needed for a person to come with but the time is short and I don't like to lengthen a topic I want everyone to understand if I go for longer you lose concentration. I think that is enough إن شاء الله تعالى for today. anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me a Shaytan and Allah and his messenger are free from it. سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفروا كواتوب إليه.
