سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد وانتظر في المساعدة of the book ثلاثة الأصول رتن by شيخ الإسلام محمد ابن عبد الوهاب رحمه الله تعالى وانتظر في المساعدة عبادات أخبرنا وإن الشيخ رحمه الله تعالى وإن شاء الله تعالى سنذهب إلى العشر المعنوعة العبادات من الأنواع العبادات التي قد تفكيرها وإنها ستكون الإسطعانة ونحن نفعل سنفعل الإسطعانة لغة وصطلاحة ونذهب أكثر إلى آيات وحديث إلى الإسطعانة ابن منظور رحمه الله ابن منظور رحمه الله هو كتاب الإسان العرب وعندما يتحدث عن مادة عون ماذا يعني الإسطعانة هو مزدر استعانة وهو من العوني الإسطعانة يأتي من العون العون وقال وقال والعون الظهير على الأمر هو to support and aid in a matter وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال وقال عون على العبادة هذا هو العزيزة العودة يأتي من العودة عون وهي يعني الظاهير على الأمري يساعد يدفعها هذا what it linguistically means إصطلاحا الشيخ الإسلام ابنو تايميا في بك مجموعة الفتاة بوليون أول 103 ابنو تايميا says it is it is to seek because the word pay attention ابنو تايم is defining it it means what where did he mean the word the elephant in the scene show it means what طلب show asking العون من الله ويطلبوا من المخلوق ما يقدروا عليه من الأموري الإستعانة is also seeked from the creation in that which they are able to do صح we are going to see later but the difference between we are going to touch on it but the difference between the two of them is that is specific to the times of hardship استغاثة whereas the word is not restricted to just times of hardship nor is it restricted to the times of ease so it's more of a comprehensive word what's the reality what is the need sorry the need that the creation the slave has to for Allah asking help from Allah the need that he has for it besides anything else ابن رجب رحم الله in his great book جامع العلوم والحكم he says المحتاج he needs إلى الاستعانة بالله في فعلي المأمورات في أهوالي البرزق و تركي المحضورات و تركي المحضورات و تركي المحضورات و الصبر على المقدورات كلها في الدنيا و عند الموت و محاول على الأشياء that Allah has destined for you سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى و عند الموت و بعده و بعده من أهوالي البرزق من المدرس و المدرس و المدرس و المدرس و then he goes on to saying و لا يقدر على الإعانة على ذلك إلا الله عز و جل and no one is able to help you in all of those stages and in all of those places except Allah و then he goes on to saying فمن حقق الاستعانة عليه كالكله أعانه الله whoever makes sure he truly comes with استعانة على الله تبارك وتعالى in all of that أعانه الله الله تبارك وتعالى is also going to give him aid and support و من ترك الاستعانة بالله and anyone who leaves off seeking help from Allah واستعانة بغيره and he also then goes on to seeking help from other than Allah و كاله الله إلا من استعانا به then Allah will leave you to the individual or to the thing in which you have seeked help from and when you sought help from فصار مخذولا that the individual becomes humiliated و هو كذلك في أمور الدنيا لأنه عاجز على الاستقلال بجل بمصالعه و دفع مضاره فصار then the person becomes مخذولا one who is humiliated one who is degraded و هو كذلك and he is like that in his worldly affairs because you know why لأنه عاجز على الاستقلال because you are unable to independently bring for yourself بجلب المصالحه the good that you need and even the thing that you are asking is also not able to independently bring the good that you are looking for و دفع مضاره and to repel the harm from you you can't do that independently from yourself and no can that person independently do it for you when we say independent we mean without Allah the one helping you or that individual و لا معين له على مصالح دينه و دنياه جميعا إلا الله and there is no one able to help you in your religious benefits and in your worldly benefits both of them except Allah then he goes on to say فمن أعانه الله anyone who Allah gives him help and support فهو المعان then that person has truly been helped and he has truly been supported و من خداله الله and anyone who Allah chooses not to aid and Allah humiliates and degrades them فهو المخدول that truly is a degraded humiliated individual و هذا هو التحقيق معنا قول العبدي and that's the true meaning of the statement of the person when the person says لا حولة ولا قوة إلا بالله I have no strength I have no ability except Allah و المعنى أن the meaning means أن العبد that the slave لا يتحول حاله من حال when you say لا حولة what you're trying to say is my situation cannot move from one situation to another situation ولا قوة and your strength cannot come from one strength to another strength except with Allah تعالى his help and support so that statement of إبن رجب الحمد teaches us a lot that is do you want to do good you need Allah to help you do you want to stay from that which is prohibited from you you need Allah to help you are you also trying to be patient trying to be patient in what in the things that you're afflicted with the hardship that you go through the pain and the agony and the suffering that you're enduring there's no one else to help you out except Allah so that statement of his is powerful and it truly goes under the حديث of the Prophet ﷺ because as he speaks on his he brings that حديث which is the Prophet's statement إحرص على ما ينفعك and strive to that which will benefit you وستعم بالله ولا تعجز and seek help from Allah and don't be lazy and weak so the person has to realize that you can strive to that which benefits you but if Allah doesn't He doesn't aid or support you in it and doesn't give you the strength then you as an individual are not going to truly be able to bring the good that you want for yourself and you truly will not be able to repel and get rid of the harm which is making its way to you إبنو القيم رحمه الله if you analyze his statement especially in his كتاب دار جساريكين which is explaining منازل إياكين عبوتي وإياكين استعين the book of إبنو إسماعيل الهروي when he came to إستعانة and he was talking about it what he did was سوا إبنو القيم رحمه الله بين التوكل والإستعانة he kind of makes إستعانة and the same thing and he makes them equal and he says that they are both the same رحمه الله and that's not really characteristics of إبنو القيم he always tries to find مختلفة بين الأشياء but what he chose was that he put them both in the same category and he said that إستعانة and توكل are they are the same and he defined them the same now we want to speak about the station and the place that إستعانة is in our religion okay منزلة الإستعانة the status the position of إستعانة and how the weight it holds in our religion إبنو القيم رحمه الله I'm going to read the statement of his عليه رحمة الله من الله mercy on him he says and this statement of his it can be found in his كتاب مدارج السالكين the first volume page 86 to 87 he says الإستعانة تجمع أصلايني he says إستعانة it combines 2 fundamentals 2 fundamental elements the first one is إستعانة it holds 2 powerful compounds 2 fundamental elements and they are first one is إستعانة it holds 2 powerful they are you trust الله and you rely on him and you rely on him and then he says فإن العبد قد يثق بالواحد من الناس وهو مع ذلك لا يعتمد عليه الاستغنائه عنه he says for verily a person a human being a slave may trust an individual may trust a human being but even then he doesn't rely on him because he's what? he's self-sufficient he doesn't need him also he says وقد يعتمده but he may rely on another person مع عدم يثقتي به even though he doesn't fully trust him why لحاجة إليه because he needs him there's no other alternatives out there ولي عدم من يقوموا مقامه he has no other person to take this place so he has to he's forced to he's forced to rely on this person okay even though he doesn't trust him are you there these are the two that are present in him and that is that you trust ولي اعتماده علي and both of those have to come in you if one is absent then that's not true إستعانة and that's not the the power and the status of الإستعانة now the author the author he brought the ayah from the Quran which is to uses an evidence of what surah is greater than the surah in which the prophet صورة في كتاب الله it is the greatest surah in the Quran حديث أبي سعيد من المعلى the sheikh brought the ayah from صورة الفاتحة إياك نعبده وإياك وإياك نستعين the question that one may ask himself is that why is it that the عبادة was put before إستعانة why was it said إياك نعبده وإياك نستعين and not إياك نستعين وإياك نعبده إبن القيم رحمه الله إبن القيم رحمه الله he gives 10 answers إبن القيم رحمه الله he gives 10 answers powerful points they all can be found in his كتاب مدارج number one so he says there's a wisdom behind it إبن القيم says إستعانة the reason why the عبادة was put before the إستعانة is for reasons لما يلي and he says as follows number one is لأن العبادة غاية العبادي التي خلقو لها والاستعانة وسيلة إليها the first reason is because عبادة is the ultimate goal in why Allah created the creation الإستعانة is a means to that ultimate goal which is عبادة ومن ثمان because of that يكون ذلك من قبيل تقديم الغاية على الوسائل and that's putting the goal before the means so it will enter the angle of putting forward the goal before the means number two he says because إياك نعبده متعلق بألوهية إياك نعبده is connected to Allah's ألوهية سبحانه وإياك نستعينه is connected to what متعلق بروبوبيته is connected to his what his روبوبية and so which one is more important are two of them ألوهية روبوبية it is the ألوهية because the روبوبية was not موطن النزاع it was not the point of argument between Prophet and his nations Prophet and his nations they didn't have an argument regarding روبوبية the real discussion was about ألوهية and so that was the first important point that Prophet was commanded to call to so that's why he came first number three he says he says the reason why عبادة was put before إستعانة is because Allah's name came first in the beginning of the story Allah came first the word before the word when you read فاتح when you say الله came first then you say and so you said and then which is the word so since in the beginning the word then now also the word إياك لعبودش يتقنب first and إياك وإياك نستعين is connected to ألوه روبوبية so the word should go next does that make sense number four لأن العبادة المطلقة تتضمنوا الإستعانة من غير أكسن the fourth reason is because the unrestricted عبادة it consists of الاستعانة but not the opposite so عبادة unrestrictedly involves إستعانة and this is where we say أطف الخاص على العام right isn't that what we say somebody may ask you and say to you in a discussion may say to you so if إستعانة is عبادة why was it said إياك لعبود and not why was it said إياك لعبود وإياك نستعين like you're saying right now عبادة was just mentioned and إستعانة was mentioned right after it does that make sense we'll say ذات العبادة المطلقة the unrestricted use of the word عبادة إستعانة falls under it but does إستعانة fall under عبادة not necessarily because for example what he means by that is عبيد in everyone who's worshipping Allah عبودية تامة anyone who's worshipping Allah عبادة which is complete then that person is مستعين he's what he's مستعين he's seeking help from Allah ولا ينعكس الأمر are you there good number five which is also roughly the same but he says لأن الإستعانة تجزء من العبادة because إستعانة is a portion of عبادة not the opposite فقدم الكل على الجزء so you give precedence to the كل which is the general over the specific the sixth reason is because إستعانة is help from Allah are you with me and عبادة is a request for Allah so what is for Allah takes precedence what is from Allah he says إستعانة is to request from him سبحانه وتعالى and عبادة is طلب الله is a request for him سبحانه وتعالى فقدم so precedence was given to ما هو له that which is for him على ما هو منه over that which is from him number seven is that لأن العبادة تلاتك إلا من مخلص مخلص والإستعانة تكون من مخلص ومن غير مخلص he says عبادة cannot be except from one who is sincere as for إستعانة it can be from a مخلص and it can be from one who is not مخلص and because of that ومن ثم قدما ما هو محظو الإخلاصي and because of that the one who is sincerity is pure is being given precedence to the one that can have sincerity and not sincerity number eight he says ولأن العبادة تحق الله الذي أوجبه على العبد والاستعانة طلب العون على العبادة number eight is that عبادة is the rights of Allah in which he has made obligatory upon the slaves whereas إستعانة is a request for the عبادة so this will enter من باب التقديم الأهم على المهم that's what it will enter that's what it will enter number nine he says عبادة is expressing gratitude to the blessing الله has bestowed upon you والله يحب وأن الله loves and you شكرا for gratitude to be expressed to him whereas إستعانة whereas إعانة فعلوه بك it's Allah's action for you وتوفيقه لك and he subhanahu وتعالى giving you the ability in a matter number ten is he says لأن إياك نعبوده لله because إياك نعبوده is for Allah وإياك نستعينه is for is for the عبادة or it's for him meaning from him إبن القيم رحمه الله his he shows a lot of فوائد in just that one particular إياك نعبوده إياك نستعينه we now want to go into أقصام الناس في الإستعانة categorizing the people when it comes to إستعانة وإبن القيم رحمه الله he categorizes them into four he categorizes them into four when it comes to إستعانة the people are four types the first one of them is أو أجلوها وأفضلها and this is the best of them all it is إبادة وإستعانة بالله عليها وهذا أجلو الأقصام وأفضلها the first one is أهل العبادة the people of عبادة وإستعانة بالله and they rely on Allah so the ultimate goal is what وإستعانة بالله عليها فعبادة الله غاية مرادهم worshipping Allah is the ultimate goal and they request from him الله سبحانه وتعالى what do they request from him وإستعانة بالله عليها that Allah helps them on this ultimate goal of this which is to worship him ويوفقهم للقيام بها so they can stand up to do it so here ibn al-qayyim is going to be speaking about what the types of people they are in terms of إستعانة وإستعانة not just إستعانة alone but also عبادة بحسب العبادة والإستعانة the second type he says is أهل العراضي عن العبادة والإستعانة the second type of people is those who have turned away when they turned away from عبادة واشيبه الله تبارك وتعالى and they also turned away from what والإستعانة به and also seeking help from him سبحانه وتعالى they've turned away from both and if he does seek help from Allah he does it for his own شهوات لا على مرضات ربه وحقوقه and he doesn't do it in pleasing Allah نعم the third type of people is مله نوع عبادة مله نوع عبادة بالاستعانة أو باستعانة قصة the third one is a group who have a type of عبادة without any إستعانة لكن or they have إستعانة which is deficient and he says وهؤلاء صنفان أم نوعان the first one is القدرية and they're the ones who say بأن الله قد جعل بالعبدي جميعه سبحانه وتعالى he has done to the slave and destined everything for him سبحانه وتعالى so there's no need for you to help ask him for anything الله has done everything for you already so there's no place for you to ask الله تعالى he sent messengers down for you he established a proof against you he sent down a book on you so there's nothing for you to ask and there's nothing for you to request from him الله gave you a healthy body he gave you a healthy lifestyle he also clarified the path for you he sent a messenger on you for this particular action they say ولم يمقى بعد هذا إعانة المقدورة there's no room left for you to request anything more for Allah everything you needed he's given it to you the second one is the second one within the third type is لهم عبادات they have actions are you there? they have actions ولهم أورادون they have become weird that they do but there's deficiency in their إستعانة the fourth type the fourth type which is the last is هم أولئك الذين يشهدون تفرد الله تفرد الله بالنفع والضر sorry والضر the fourth type is those who testify that Allah is alone in bringing good and harm and wherever Allah wills it will be and wherever he wills it won't be these ones he said مع ذلك even then توقل عليه they relied on him سبحانه وتعالى واستعان به على حضوذه وشهواته وأغراضه مع ذلك even then توقل عليه they relied on Allah واستعان به they seek help from him سبحانه وتعالى على حضوذه in their desires and their شهوات and their worldly gain سبحانه وتعالى I will stop there بإذن الله الكريم I will speak about the Ayat and the Hadith pertaining to الإستعانة next lesson بإذن الله الكريم anything which I have said that was wrong سبحانه وتعالى سبحانك الله سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى
