 و أقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكريم المنزل و أقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي و لا أتأوله و إذا كنت تقوم بإمكانك أن تكون مصطفاً لماذا نجد أن نجد أن نجد أن نفعل هذا؟ أريد أن أتكلم بأنه ليست مصطفاً لقراءة الكتب أن ي Klein أدل مجدداً لدى حق و البطل الأقل و إفضل أنه ليست مصطفاً للتوأكد الأدل أرد أن يتكلم في الكتاب والسنة يجب أن تؤكد بقية الله و الصنامة لقد يجب أن نكون أستطيع اللقاء و الصنامة لقد يتمنى طرق اللقاء و الصنامة و لذا أنه سيوان فلوسلماً أنه يفضل عمر رضي الله عنه when he saw him يقوم برأيه one of the books of the people of the scripture where the Prophet became excessively angry and the Prophet ﷺ he said أموتهو يكون فيها يبن الخطاب are you in a state of confusion إبن الخطاب يعني عمر are you in a state of confusion the Prophet ﷺ said والذي نفسي بيده I swear by the Lord in which my soul is in his hand لقادي جئ تقوم بها بيضاء نقية I have come to you guys with a religion that is pure and it's clean and then the messenger swore by Allah again he said I swear by the Lord my soul is in his hand لو أن موسى كان حيا ما وسيعه إلا أن يتبعني the Prophet ﷺ said if Musa was alive and he was in the world today there would be no other path written for him there would be no other path sanctioned for him except to follow me يعني نبي الله محمد أحمد أحمد نريت ذلك in his Musnad so this hadith clearly shows us that it's not permissible for a person to read the books of the people of the scripture and the person can read it if he's gained knowledge of the Quran and the Sunnah and he's grounded with the Quran and the Sunnah the person can read it Shaykh ﷺ Taymiyyah he read the books of the philosophers because he was grounded in his own knowledge and his own religion Shaykh ﷺ Ibn Taymiyyah read the books of the Rafi'a أهل الشيعة and he grounded himself in it and so he wrote works in refuting it like his Kitab من هاجز سنة النبوية في نقض كراب الشيعة القدرية where he refuted the shi'a the Qadariya Shaykh ﷺ Taymiyyah he knew what was for him and then he studied what was out there سربا إسلام he defended the religion so first of all learn your religion learn the Quran learn the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ Shaykh ﷺ Taymiyyah he read the scriptures of the people of the books and he refuted them he wrote a Kitab called الجواب الصحيح لمن بد لدي للمسيح where he responded to the Christians but then the badak came about for Shaykh ﷺ Ibn Taymiyyah after he studied the Quran and the Sunnah and he studied the statements of the early scholars of Islam he was able to go and study their works if you are like him or you have knowledge of your religion and you are grounded that there is no problem but if not don't waste your time reading their works busy yourself in studying the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me a Shaytan and Allah and his Messenger are both free from it سبحانك اللهم وبحمده أشد ولا إله إلا الله أستغفروا كواتوب إليه if you have any questions you'd like to see answered as part of this series and you can email us at questions at amau.org
