 تبطه آدك الأيام فتا الأسل الثاني أمر الله بالإجتماعي في الدين ونهى عن انتفرق فيه اليوم إن شاء الله يتعالى we're gonna go into the second asal the second asal in our great book شرحوا أصول الستة لشيخ الإسلام محمد بن عبد الوهاب the second asal the second fundamental thing that is needed is that the person needs to know that it's obligatory وجوب it is obligatory الاجتماعي على الحق pay attention وجوب الاجتماعي على الحق that it's obligatory to unite upon the حق ونهى that it's prohibited عن التفرق فيه and that it's prohibited to differ in the حق this is a asal which is very important the sheikh said أمر الله الله ordered this is what الله سبحانه وتعالى ordered us what بن اجتماعي to unite في الدين in the religion ونهى عن التفرق فيه and that Allah has prohibited us of what to differ within the religion الله سبحانه وتعالى now what I'm going to do is I'm going to mention to you أسباب الإختلاف والتفرق what are the things that cause differing and to become groups and sects what causes it before I go into the speech of I'm going to mention that and then I'm also going to mention another point after this what are the things that cause people to differ to be of groups and sects and every single person to have his own banner his own flag and to say where called this and you guys are called that and you're called that and that's our names what causes it the first one is اتباع الهواء following your whims and desires if every single person follows his own whims and desires whims and desires does not unite the people because every single person his desires is different to the other person he desires something different to the other person ولذلك الله تبارقة عليه سلم القرآن هو الذي أنزل عليك الكتاب منه آيات محكمات هون أم الكتاب وأخر متشابهات فأم الذين في قلوبهم زيغ فيتبعون ما تشابه منه بتغاء الفتنة وبتغاء تأويلي الله سبحانه وتعالى فأم الذين في قلوبهم زيغ those who have in their hearts deviation whims and desires overcame them what do they follow they follow the verses which are ambiguous because they have desires in themselves they won't go to the verses which are محكم the clicker verses they will bring you آيات which ambiguous are unclear what does Allah mean by this verse it has to be explained with another آية because he has whims and desires filled in his heart so he will force you to go to these verses and that is what makes people become groups and sects the people become what فراقن sects by following their whims and desires وبيمور وبيمور فارقة ديني and differing with the religion until they become what and they become different نحل and sects the second one brothers is the second one is الجهل ignorance ignorance what does it cause brothers ignorance is the things that causes الاختلاف والتفرق these people to differ and to be different ignorance causes it من أسباب الجهلي the causes of التفرق والاختلاف is الجهل وبيدين الله when the people are ignorant of the religion of Allah والكلام في دين الله بلا علم and the person starts speaking about the religion of Allah without knowledge he has no understanding of the deem ولي ذلك our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said in the hadith of عبد الله بن عمر بن العاص رضي الله تعالى عنهما may Allah be pleased with عبد الله and may Allah be pleased with his father عمر بن العاص this hadith is narrated by Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim in their both both of them in their authentic book في صحي حيهما that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said إن الله لا يقبض العلم الله does not take knowledge انتزا عن ينتزيعه من الناس الله does not take knowledge which he takes away from the people الله does not take and lift the knowledge from the people and take it away from their hearts he doesn't do that how does Allah take knowledge ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض العلماء الله takes knowledge by taking the people of knowledge الله تعالى he takes the knowledge by taking its people who are carrying it حتى إذا لم يبقى عالم until there is no scholar left اتخذ الناس رؤوسا جهالا and based on that the people they take the ignorant ones as their leaders that's what they do they start pointing towards an ignorant individual and they say شيخنا our teacher so and so فسؤلو and then the ignorant one is questioned فأفتو بغير علم فضلو واضلو they give fatwa the ignorant one gives a fatwa and what happens without knowledge فضلو he misguides the people واضلو and they misguide themselves he misguides himself and he misguides others ولذلك I think ربيع ابن عبد الرحمن ربيعة الرأي امام ماليك's teacher امام ماليك's teacher and I believe it was him ربيع ابن عبد الرحمن ربيعة الرأي he cried one day and they said to him ماليك's teacher was making you cry pay attention to this speech they said that today on the Earth there has come people who are giving fatwa هذا هو ربيع إماماليكس تيشة في ذلك time there were people giving fatwa passing rules of Allah's religion سبحانه وتعالى without knowledge without knowledge and without understanding of the book of Allah who سبحانه وتعالى جهل and then you see subhan Allah people who are giving da'wa who are saying we're calling to the religion of Allah they don't even know the mbaadi of the religion the beginning, the fundamental matters of the religion they don't know it and they are out there giving what الدعوة إلى الله تبارك وتعالى they are calling to the deen of Allah they are calling to what دعاات call us to the religion of الله سبحانه وتعالى and what does that call brothers it calls is الاختلاف والتفرق و لذلك the salaf some of them used to say لو سكت من لا يعلم if he was to be silent the one who doesn't know if he was silent and he closed his mouth the one who doesn't know what would have happened لقلت الخلاف the dispute and the خلاف would be little if the jahil was quiet and he didn't talk and he let the scholars talk and he left it to the scholars then the خلاف would be little but because everybody is contributing his thoughts what do you think what do you think it has caused what it has caused hundreds of views views of who like him لا جهال ignorant people and so basically the people then they say the scholars differed in this issue what scholars differed in this issue there's no scholars نعم so الجهل ignorance of the religion of Allah اخواني is من اسباب الاختلاف والتفرق in the religion of Allah one of the things also be brothers and sisters is that causes الاختلاف في الدين والتفرق فيه is what الاعتماد على المعقول if a person relies on their intellect in taking the عقيدة في اخذ العقيدة when taking عقيدة the person relies on his intellect و ترك الاستدلالي بالمنقول and the person leaves off what and the person leaves off looking for the textual evidences he doesn't rely on the textual evidences he relies on logic intellects of people these are the things that cause what why would it cause it because they are the views of people and the way that people's brains work are they different or not they are different there has to be something that governs them all what is it شالله تعالي I'm going to speak about it later بإذن الله الكريم the things that govern us اخواني is الكتاب و سمنا we're going to speak about that in the other point that I want to speak about شالله تعالي also brothers من اسباب الاختلاف والتفرق في الدين one of the things brothers one of the things brothers that causes الاختلاف والتفرق في الدين is what طعنوا في علماء السنة criticizing slandering the scholars of the sunnah و مدحو آهل الأهواء والبداعي and praising the innovators and the people of the winds of desires a person who is مبتدع who is an innovator who calls to innovation you praise him and you are giving him a position and you slander who you slander the علماء the hurras of the sharia the people are standing to protect the sharia they are criticized and they slandered and أهل البداعواء they are praised these are from the things that are what من اسباب الاختلاف والتفرق في الدين it is from the things brothers that cause what it causes the ummah to disunite and to differ people who are deviating the ummah from the straight path brothers and sisters الله تبارك وتعالى based on the hadith ابن ماجه نريتر ابن ماجه نريتر on the authority of عوف ابن مالك he is عوف ابن مالك الأشجع رضي الله تعالى عنه he said I heard the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say I heard the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said افترقت اليهود على إحدى وسبعين فرقه the jews they broke into 71 sects فوحدة في الجنة وسبعين في النار 70 of them in the house fire and one of them in the paradise وفترقت النصار وفترقت النصار the Christians they broke into harmony على ثمتيني وسبعين فرقه 72 فإحدى وسبعين في النار harmony 71 of them in the house fire ووحدة في الجنة and one is entering jannah والذي نفس محمد محمد بيده the prophet then said I swear by the lord in which Muhammad me myself the prophet of Allah whose hand I swear by the one whose hand my soul is in I swear by him الله تباركه تعالى do we believe the prophet without him without him having to say that yes we already believe him imagine if he said this he said this we would have taken it from him even if he didn't say this statement that I swear by the one who my soul is in his hand we would have taken it from him صلى الله عليه وسلم because he is صادق المصدوق but imagine if he said it it would become even what it would be more serious to us he said that I swear by the lord my soul is in his hand لتفتريقانا they will break into this is known as توكيد they will break him and they will break and they will break and they will sect my umma will do على ثلاثين وسبعين فيرقاه 73 they will turn into 73 sects my umma واحدة في الجنة only one is in jannah وثنتان وسبعون في النار and 72 are in the house fire قيل يا رسول الله or messenger of Allah who are the same sect who are the one group that is going to enter jannah the messenger said الجماعة الجماعة is what الجماعة is the group there is another another narration tell me the narration narrated it that the messenger of Allah that the messenger of Allah explained who the جماعة is who is this جماعة the prophet in the other narration what did he say ماءانا عليه اليومة واصحابي anyone who is upon that which I and my companions are upon today anyone who is upon that which I and my companions are what upon brothers and sisters I want to ask you that some of the scholars some scholars weakened it or it was weakened the narration ماءانا عليه اليومة واصحابي some weakened it that narration is strengthened by the narration of الجماعة it's a Shahid for the other narration it strengthens it why because الجماعة at that time the prophet is companions was there any other جماعة لا so ماءانا عليه اليومة واصحابي and الجماعة both mean the same is a تفسير and a bayan of the other narration and it could be a Shahid for it brothers I want to ask you this question did the prophet said more than one group is going to go to جنة or one it's only one it's only one sect and they are the safe sect الطائفة المنصورة so anyone who tells you اخي this group and that group and us we all have different names but don't worry we all get into جنة there can only be one who is going to جنة from the 73 we know only one is entering جنة امام مصفارين رحم الله in his لوامع الأنوار he did a mistake here and he goes clearly against the hadith of the prophet he even himself رحم الله تراقظ he contradicted himself on the issue of saying that the safe sect هو he said it is a شاعرة and the maturidia اهل الحديث how could it be when the prophet is saying it is what if you ask a شاعرة today are you and the maturidia they will say both of us but the prophet said what it is one it can only be what one group now it brings me to the next point إن شاء الله تعالى our brothers and sisters we today find جماعات احزاب we have sects groups names this is called حزب التحرير this is called اخوان المسلمين this is called جماعات التبليغ and the list goes on all of them are saying we are working to the establishing of Islam on this earth and we are all what we are working to what we are all working to the same it's just that everyone is taking a different approach everyone is taking a different means first of all based on this حديث we only know one is going to enter جنة only one group is the طائفة المسورة of the safe sect now we have to ask ourselves all of these groups that we find today and those are not the only groups there are more like in these this is على سبيل كمثيل this is just an example of those who are out there right now with these points you will realize the answer of this question because it needs to be explained in details the first thing that we will have to ask ourselves is when we dispute one another and we differ on a matter where do we go back to if we differ on a matter and we have different views on a matter what is the مرجعية where is the sauce that we were ordered to go back to based on the آية الله تعالى فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسولي إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله وليوم الأخير if you guys dispute one another in a matter bring it back to who bring it back to Allah and his messenger if you are those who believe in Allah in the day of judgment سورة النساء آية 50 59 so that آية Allah tells us to bring our dispute back to who تكتابا لا and the sunnah also الله تعالى تعالى سورة النساء آية 83 الله said وإذا جاءهم أمر من الأمن أو الخوف أذاعوا به ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلى أولي الأمر منهم لعلمه الذين استمبطون منهم الله says if a matter of good came to them or a matter of fear came to them they will they do إذاع they will announce it ولو ردوه if only they brought a matter back to where if they were to bring it back to إلى الرسول to the messenger وإلى أولي الأمر منهم and if they were to bring it back to the people of knowledge the people who have authority over them الله says العلمه الذين استمبطون منهم the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم also said in the hadith الإمام المندر ناري ترغيب ترغيب خلبان authenticated I had left you guys with what I have left with you ما إنعطة سمتون something if you guys hold on to فلنت ضلوا أبدن you will never be misguided I have left with you something that if you guys hold on to it after my death you will never be misguided I have left something like that for you the prophet tells us what it is كتاب الله وصوصونة نبيه and the prophetic tradition of the لذا إذا كنا نرى ما الله قلت right now and what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم what was it that they told us they told us أن نرود كل خصومة in every argument and every dispute and every differing that we have we bring it and we bring it back to him إلا الله to Allah and ورسوله his messenger to bring it back to Allah and his messenger if we do that what will happen brothers and sisters وحي نقل تزول الخصومة our dispute and our argument will what it will uplift from us إن شاء الله و تعالى and we will find our solution there and the ayat that tell us to do that are immense and that's غيضون من فيضن that's just a dip from the ocean it's not all of it now the second point that we need to really we need to understand this now that we've understood the Kitab and the Sunnah is our source the second question is that who's understanding are we going to base it on this Kitab and the Sunnah that we have amongst ourselves right now who's understanding are we going to base it on who's understanding are we going to base it on we're going to base the Kitab and the Sunnah based on that which الله tells us to base the understanding on Allah has told us already who we need to base هل تفهمت هذا؟ القرآن في السنة الله تباركه تعالى يسان صورة النساء 115 الله يقول ومن يشاقق الرسولة anyone who goes against a messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم من بعد ما تبين له الهداة after clear evidence has come to him ويتبع ويتبع غير سبيل المؤمنين other than the path of the believers he follows the path different to the path of the believers الله says wherever path you have treaded on and that you've taken الله will let you be on that path of destruction and then what will happen ونصليه جهنم and the hellfire will be your abode and Allah then says what an evil place for you to stay the hellfire what a bad place for you to be so when this ayah came down who are the believers at that time who were the believers of that time ويتبع غير السبيل المؤمنين who had that statement who had that name مؤمنين us we weren't even there the believers of that time were the sahabas رضوان الله عليكم عين so anybody who follows a path other than the path of the believers and it doesn't mean it's only the sahabas but it means from them first they are what اولوية الدخول they're the first ones who entered the verse because it came down when they were there also الله تبارك واتعاله he set us in the ayah فإن آمنوا if they believe بمثلي ما آمنتم به الله is saying in this ayah if they believe the way you guys have believed فقد يتدو they are guided وإن تولو if they turn away from you Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and your companions if they turn away from it they are upon a deviated path so الشقاق يميز البعضو that you are distant from what من هجو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه you are far from the path of the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions رضوان الله عليكم عين in the deen in this religion the third point that we need to realize brothers is that we need to ask ourselves is are we allowed to to believe something and then look for the evidence or do we look for the evidence first and then we believe it based on the evidence that comes to us الله تبارك وتعالى answers that for us سبحانه وتعالى in صورة محمد ayah 19 الله تبارك وتعالى he says to us فعلم no first of all أنه لا إله إلا الله وستغفلي ذنبك الله says to us no that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and then once you have the knowledge وستغفلي ذنبك ask Allah for forgiveness for your shortcomings so what has Allah put first Allah has put knowledge first إمام البخاري رحمه الله in his صحيح his authentic book he chapted a bab and he called it what باب the chapter which is what العلم قبل القول والعمن knowledge precedes speech and action وإمام البخاري's chapterings brothers بارك الله فيكم it's not an ordinary chapterings the chapterings of بخاري the علمات they say فق البخاري يق إمام البخاري is thick his rulings that he is extracting are based on his chapterings when he chapters رحمه الله so now إمام البخاري in that chaptering he is trying to say to us that this is how it should be that knowledge should precede any action or speech that you do don't call the people to the religion of Allah don't preach if you don't have knowledge don't act if you don't have knowledge don't believe if you don't have knowledge have knowledge of it why because knowledge precedes it so you have a belief of a system and you believe battle and then you're looking for evidences are you going to accept it you're not going to accept it and that is mean علمات إهل البداع signs of the people of innovation they believe something first and then they go out of their way to look for what to look for the evidences so you look for the evidences from the Kitab and the Sunnah and the understanding of the Salaf of this Ummah before you start believing in it before you what before you start to believe in it ولي داركة the scholars they say that this what do they do يعتقدون ثم يستدلون فيضلون they believe then they look for the evidences and then they become misguided هل سنة أوت يستدلون ثم يعتقدون فيهتدون they look for that they look for the guidance first then they believe in the evidences that came to them from the Kitab and the Sunnah and on the understanding of the Salaf of this Ummah based on that they start to believe now based on that they start to believe good did the Shari'a part number 4 did the Shari'a place for us a way to call to the path of Allah did our Shari'a did it place for us a methodology to call to the path of Allah of course it did صورة النحل ay 125 Allah says ادعو call to الى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة call to the path of your Lord ادعو الى سبيل ربك call to the path of your Lord الله تبارك وتعالى with wisdom والموعظة الحسنة and with good reminders معوظة الحسنة call to Allah تبارك وتعالى he said تبارك وتعالى before I bring the ayah ابن جليل الطابر he said ادعو الى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة what does it mean ابن جليل الطابر he said هو ما أنزله عليه من الكتاب والسنة call to the path of Allah based on what ابن جليل said it is that which Allah has sent from the book and the sunnah the Quran and the sunnah when you are calling you have the Quran and the sunnah with you he said قال الله قال رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم and this is the understanding of the Salaf of this ummah how they understood it good very good so the da'wah our shari'ah has placed for us based on the ayah what we need to call to the people what we call to the people too the Kitab and the sunnah on what understanding my understanding the 21st century understanding everyone open the mushaf and try to see what you get out of it and based on that we make our da'wah or everyone let's revise or let's do a new manual guide for da'wah is that what we're going to do لا this is a manhaj you have to follow I will message you صلى الله عليه وسلم وَدِلْهِسَيْ وَأَنَّ هَذَا سِرَاطِ مُسْتَقِيمًا فَتَّبِعُوهُ وَلا تَتَّبِعُ السُبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِ ذَالِكُمْ وَصَّاكُمْ بِهِلَ عَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ that is my path وَنَّ هَذَا سِرَاطِ this is my path my path in terms of speech my path in terms of action my path in terms of belief my path in terms of how I call the people to وَانَّ هَذَا سِرَاطِ مُسْتَقِيمًا my path is straight it's مُستَقِيمًا فَتَّبِعُوهُ who follow that path وَلا تَتَّبِعُ السُبُلَ don't follow a group don't follow a group what will happen to you وَلا تَتَّبِعُ السُبُلَ فَتَّفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِ it will deviate you from the straight path it will deviate you from what the path of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when the prophet recited the ayah he not only did he say it to the sahabahs but the messenger took a twig عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم بيسان حديث عبدالله من المسعود the prophet took a twig خطة لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خطة مُستقيمًا على الأرض the prophet took a twig he made a straight line on the path and on the sides of it he made lines that came out of it and then the messenger recited the ayah وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِ مُستَقِيمًا فَتَّبِعُوا وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُبُلَ سُبُلَ فَتَّفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِ don't follow these path are deviated from my straight path don't follow it what will it do it will deviate you it will corrupt your mind and now we find people who made the da'wah if Islam is going to lift his head أخي be part of be part of those who do or participate in parliamentary elections elect that's how Islam is going to lift its head did the messenger do that عليه الصلاة والسلام was his da'wah in Makkah be part of أهل الشورa of Quraish or to be part of sit down with Quraish and to be part of their committee in order for Islam to gain a government is that what the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام did ever done he never done it عليه الصلاة والسلام so brothers the way it is is that that the sharia had placed the da'wah should be which is الكتاب والسلح بفهم سلاة في الأمة
