أن سيدنا والنبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان اليوم الدين أما بعد اليوم سيكون لدينا أول لسن إلى مدخل عقيدة المدخل عقيدة اليوم إن شاء الله وإتعالى سوف نأخذ مجموعة عقيدة عقيدة براظز هذا الذي يؤمن فيه فيهم لذلك كما أن شاء الله وإتعالى سوف نراه اليوم بإذن الله الكريم الأشياء التي يؤمن with عقيدة المدخل العقيدة هي هذا الذي يؤمن في الهاتف وإن شاء الله وإتعالى اليوم كما قلت أول لسن سيكون أن تؤمن ومجموعة من the chapters of عقيدة وإن شاء الله وإتعالى المدخل عقيدة سوف نأخذ مجموعة عقيدة هنا في المدخل العقيدة بإذن الله الكريم وإن شاء الله وإتعالى من اليوم سوف أستخدم المدخل لأكل مدخل من كل مدخل العقيدة وإن شاء الله وإتعالى سأنقوم ونشر every point and every word التي is written on the board إن شاء الله وإتعالى هنا لدي مجموعة أبواب العقيدة لذلك في المدخل العقيدة لدي مجموعة أبواب العقيدة ماذا يعني مجموعة is comprehensive but in this context it means an overview of the chapters of عقيدة if a person today wants to open an عقيدة book and they want to study عقيدة what is it that عقيدة deal with by reading عقيدة book what does it mean that I learn because many people don't understand عقيدة books they deal with these points that إن شاء الله وإتعالى you will learn in this lesson بإذن الله الكريم عقيدة it deals with two things or the chapters of عقيدة are two chapters the first one is أركان الإيمان the pillars of إيمان which إن شاء الله وإتعالى you're going to see which are these six pillars one two three four five and six and the second thing is ما يلحق بأركان الإيمان the things that are attached so ما يلحق يلحق means what attached to the pillars of إيمان the things that are attached to the pillars of الإيمان which are three إن شاء الله وإتعالى and I'm going to quickly go over over them and so in this introduction we're going to be taking these six and we're going to be taking these three and that is the introduction course the 16 hours of the مدخل of عقيدة is going to revolve around around those six plus those three and that should make nine إن شاء الله وإتعالى those nine headings or those nine chapters is what we're going to be taking إن شاء الله وإتعالى for our introduction to المدرسة العمرية let's start with the first of the six pillars أركان الإيمان as you all are aware of is from the famous حديث in صحيح مسلم من حديثه من حديث عمر بن الخطاب the famous حديث known as the حديث of جيبريل that is narrated by the companion عمر رضي الله وإتعالى عنه and it's collected in صحيح صحيح مسلم the حديث is also in بخاري but it's not narrated from عمر it's narrated from who it is narrated from أبو حريرا الله وإتعالى عنه that famous حديث that we know when جيبريل came to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to the prophet أخبرني عن الإيمان tell me about إيمان what is إيمان and the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام he responded and he said to جيبريل الإيمان أن تؤمن بالله وملايكته وكتبه ورسله ورسوله وليوم الآخر وتؤمن بالقدر خيره وشره and the prophet told him these six that إن شاء الله that we're going to بإذن الله الكريم touch on the first one is of the six pillars of إيمان is to believe in Allah it's to believe in who it is to believe in Allah سبحانه وتعالى believing in Allah means you believe three things or another wording it is when three things are settled with you then we will say إيمان بالله of yours is intact it's according to how it should be it's in accordance with the methodology of أهل السنة والجماعة the first one is ربوبية the ربوبية and إن شاء الله وتعالى we're going to take what ربوبية means in more details this is an overview we don't need to explain it in this lesson we just need to know what's written on the board the second one is أل ألوهية أل ألوهية and the third one is أسماء وصفات so believing in Allah means you singu Allah in his ربوبية his ألوهية and he's that individual who singu Allah in the ربوبية is a believer believer of who? believer of Allah and he has fulfilled that condition of الإيمان بالله the second one is الإيمان بالملاعقة believing in the angels إن شاء الله وتعالى the explanation and the information pertaining to that will also إن شاء الله وتعالى be in our upcoming lessons إن شاء الله وتعالى the third one is الإيمان بالكتب believing in the books that were sent by and sent down by الله سبحانه وتعالى believing in the books that were sent from Allah سبحانه وتعالى the fourth is الإيمان بالرسل believing in the messengers that was sent by الله سبحانه وتعالى you believe in each and every one of them and that you don't reject one and rejecting one means you rejected all of them إن شاء الله وتعالى we will touch on that more further إن شاء الله وتعالى in our upcoming lessons بإذن الله الكريم the fifth one is الإيمان باليوم الآخر it is to believe in the day of judgment what does it mean believe in the day of judgment? how can one believe in the day of judgment? what explanations and what evidences are there for this we will speak about that in more details إن شاء الله in our upcoming classes بإذن الله الكريم the sixth one إن شاء الله وتعالى is going to be الإيمان بالقدر believing in the predestiny that which Allah has destined for you سبحانه وتعالى and that He has written for you what is it? and does one have to believe in it? and what does it mean believing in the قدر? those are the six pillars that I'm hoping إن شاء الله وتعالى that every single one of you has probably studied does know but إن شاء الله وتعالى we will still solidify ourselves with better understanding and more evidences إن شاء الله وتعالى and as you're all aware of my brothers and sisters who are watching that some matters you may think to yourself I've probably studied it before and I know it but the fact that it's repeated again and that it's told to you again it will solidify what you already knew and it's also upon the teachers and those who educate the people to start with them with the basic knowledge as إمام البخاري رحمه الله سبحانه وتعالى العالم الرباني is اللذي رب الناسة بالسغاري العلم قبل كباري is the one who nurtures the people on the small knowledge before he puts them and indulges them into the great knowledge or the big knowledge he starts off with the basic stuff and these are the most simplistic and the most easiest things that a believer studies and it's one of the most vital things that a person needs to know here on this side we have what we named ما يلحق بأركان الإيمان ما يلحق بأركان الإيمان is that which we will also follow up with the إيمان the إيمان and its six pillars or the six pillars of the إيمان these three are followed up with it in other words they are also dealt with in the books of in the books of عقيدة and those three are what مسما الإيمان here I have here مسما الإيمان مسما means what it means the term إيمان the term إيمان so the books of عقيدة you study what does إيمان mean what's the correct definition for it what are the things that nullify your إيمان what are the things that weaken your إيمان what are the groups who've opposed أهل السنة in the matters pertaining to the إيمان so in books of عقيدة and books of عقيدة you will see they talk about this issue of إيمان so you see they talk about the خوارج and then they speak about the مرجئة and then they speak about the معتزيلة and then they mention أهل السنة where they stand regarding this concept of الإيمان because the word إيمان my brothers and sisters the prosperity of this world and hereafter is connected to it what do I mean by that a person whether he can be buried with the Muslims whether جنازة can be prayed on him whether his wife can still be married to him whether his blood is is sacred all of that is connected to his إيمان so his إيمان whether he has it or not is very vital in this world and of course in hereafter because if this person does not have the إيمان that he should have he will definitely enter in the Hellfire forever and he will never come out of it and he will stay there forever he will get Allah's wrath and the list goes on all of that is to say that it is important that the reality of إيمان is understood because if a deficiency occurs in the perception of إيمان the comprehension of إيمان it means that a person who does not deserve this noble title will not get it I mean will not get his title and a person who is not be fitted to be a believer will be given the title the second one إن شاء الله تعالى is the issue pertaining to the companions أصحابة as you see here it says أصحابة أصحابة are the companions again there are groups who deviated from أهل سنة and they went against their path in the issue pertaining to the companions what did they do we find for example the شيع who came the issue pertaining to علي يبن أبي طالب رضي الله تعالى عنه and so they took him out of the Rome of being a human being and they gave him divinity and they said he's divine and they worship him and they made him infallible and then you find the خوارج and they took علي يبن أبي طالب out of Islam and they took him out of the fold of this religion so you have two extremes and you see أهل سنة who have taken the middle path and that is what we're going to be speaking about the issue pertaining to أصحابة last but not least we will be speaking about the issue of الإيمامة the issue of الإيمامة when we say the issue of الإيمامة we're going to speak about many things we will speak about إن شاء الله تعالى the issue of the rights that the Muslim leader has and the responsibilities that are upon those who he governs and can the people rebel against the leader we'll also be speaking about who can hold the خلافة for the Muslims and issues pertaining to that you tend to find all of these nine points in the books of عقائد and these are the مجمل these are the مجمل أبواب العقيدة they are the overview chapters of عقيدة so when you open an عقيدة book whether that book is عقيدة التحاوية whether that book is عقيدة السلف وأصحاب الحديث by الإيمام الصابوني أهل السنة أهل الحديث by أبو بكر الإسماعيلي or whether عقيدة is the book عقيدة الواسطية or whether the عقيدة is عقيدة أبو حاتم الرازي أنا مزورعة الرازي whether it's عقيدة عبدالغاني عبد الواحد المقدسي and the list goes on whenever you open those عقائد those books of عقيدة you will find that they speak about these nine topics many different subheadings come from it and so insha'Allah now that we've taken in this class what are the chapters that are dealt with in عقيدة insha'Allah in our next lesson بإذن الله الكريد we will speak about the first one of them the first one of them which is الإيمان بالله but before I let you all go I have to go over with you something that is as important as the class that we have taken today insha'Allah we will insha'Allah conclude with this بإذن الله الكريم and that is مزدر التلقي عند أهل السنة والجماعة مزدر التلقي عند أهل السنة والجماعة is مزدر means source التلقي is to take from according to أهل السنة and جماعة so in simple terms it means where do أهل السنة والجماعة take their evidences from where do they take their religion from and since we are talking about عقيدة where is it that one should go and take their belief from according to أهل السنة والجماعة they take their عقيدة from three sources one two and three the first one is الكتاب and the Kitab is the speech of Allah سبحانه وتعالى جيبريل came down with onto our messenger محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم this book that we have this 30 chapter on a 30 أجزاء 30 جز and 114 صورة there are 114 in the Quran and there are 30 جز on a 30 أجزاء that book speech of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the last testament that ever came down السنة means what السنة means ما أضيف إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من قول أو فعل أو تقرير أو سفة خلقية أو سفة خلقية أو خلقية anything that is attributed to the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام speech, action consent the way he looked and his character how many things did I say? speech, one actions, two consent meaning anything that was done in his presence and he acknowledged, he agreed four his appearance and how he looked last but not least his etiquette and his manners and the way he carried himself عليه الصلاة والسلام those five are called now as you can see I categorize the sunnah into two because this is a place where the deviated sects try to say that we only take one type of the sunnah and then we don't take the other type and the sunnah they take the متواتر and the Ahad both of them what is متواتر and what is Ahad متواتر means the narrations that come to us from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in a multitude narration it is large in quantity it's called متواتر Ahad means few don't say singular but say few because within Ahad there is مشهور العزيز and غريب it is the narration that comes to us لم يبلغ حد التواتر but it has not reached the amount of a متواتر it hasn't reached that number it's a few in number أهل السنة don't care they take Ahad whether that narration reached us in a multitude narration or whether it reached us in few narrations it doesn't matter to أهل السنة they are all acceptable and there are many evidences for that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he sent معاد ابن جبل by himself to Yemen to convey to Heed to convey are you with me he sent another companion the Prophet sent him to the leaders and the list goes on so rejecting a singular narration as ابن حزم sent رحمه الله إنه كتاب الأحكام أما الإحكام في أصول الأحكام الإحكام في أصول الأحكام he mentions رحمه الله ابن حزم he mentions that if a singular narration is rejected and it's not taken and we see that the Prophet sent معاد ودحية رضي الله تعالى عنهما may Allah be pleased with both of them if a singular narration was not accepted and it was rejected and ابن حزم said it would have been a waste of time that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sent them and their statements weren't going to be taken it's basically insulting the Prophet's intelligence and his thinking to just waste two noble companions time and effort and send them to different lands to convey Islam but in reality their statement are not going to be taken because they are only one individual who are conveying this information does it make sense but in reality those who reject the hard narrations are indirectly trying to reject the سنة and that's what they're really trying to get to so no one should accept that from them أليجماع is also from the is from the things or from the sources where أليجماع they take their religion from إجماع إجماع is إتفاق مجتهدي هذه الأمة it is the agreement of a people who have reached a high caliber of comprehension and understanding in the religion but they have to be from this religion from this أمة they can't be from the Jews or the Christians they have to be Muslims and each they had from those scholars has to occur after the Prophet sorry that consent has to occur after the Prophet died because if it happens at the time of the Prophet it takes consent it's a تقرير إجماع is after the Prophet's death and there are types that it's categorized into but for what we need to understand in this مقدمة in this introduction of عقيدة if one asks you where do you take your religion from you need to say I take it from the Kitab I take it from the Sunnah I take it from the إجماع I take the Sunnah whether it's a multitude narration whether it's a few narration it does not matter to me that's where I take my religion from in other words this is a refutation on those who take their religion and their عقيدة from what intellect and logic does intellect say anywhere here anywhere here the عقيدة is any news it is information and it's news and you can't reach that conclusion with the smartness of your mind the way that your mind works and it doesn't come from that it has to come from these three sources and that is where you need to take your religion from last but not least عقاعدة is منجية من الضلال عقاعدة which saves you قاعدة منجية that saves you من الضلال from his guidance and that is what how do I understand the Kitab how do I understand the Sunnah and how do I understand the إجماع we said that the Kitab we said that the Sunnah and the إجماع those are the three sources we take our religion from the question is how do we understand it when can we say there's a consensus issue who can say that how do we extract a ruling from the Kitab how do we extract a ruling from the Sunnah this قاعدة is what answers that question and this قاعدة is a منجية منجية means what it saves you from his guidance it saves you from his guidance which is فاهم الكتاب و السنة and to understand the Sunnah يجب أن يكون على وفق فهم سلف الصالح the Kitab and the Sunnah both of them have to be understood يجب it is obligatory so فاهموا understanding الكتاب the book the Quran the prophetic tradition يجب it is obligatory أن يقول for it to be على وفق فاهم سلف الصالح the understanding of the pious predecessors so a person cannot just come to the Quran and the Sunnah and understand it the way they will and the way they wish the Quran and the Sunnah have to be understood in how the pious predecessors understood it so once we've affirmed that we take the Kitab and the Sunnah whether it's a multitude narration whether it's a few narrations and the consent once we've agreed that's where we take our religion from we also have to agree that the understanding in which we take to understand the Quran to understand the Sunnah and to even affirm it has to be based upon what upon how the Salaf الصالح the pious predecessors who've preceded us in good and that's where Allah سبحانه وتعالى He said in Surah Al-Toba ayah 100 in Surah Al-Toba الله says والسابقون الأولون the first generations the early comers from them is and they are the ones who migrated from Mecca and they migrated to Medina the second one Ahu the Ansar those who stayed and resided in Medina and they gave victory to the Prophet when he migrated to Medina they gave him victory Allah says those two groups والذين اتكبعوهم and those who follow them بيحسانون in good so those who follow them and that's us and we are not from the Ansar but if we want to be from those who Allah says look after that what did he say والذين اتبعوهم بيحسان رضي الله الله is pleased رضي الله عنهم ورضو عن Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah who is Allah pleased with who is pleased with Allah and who is Allah pleased with Allah is pleased with the Muhajiri Allah is pleased with the Ansar and Allah is pleased with those who follow them so in order to gain this reward of Allah سبحانه وتعالى being pleased with us and for us being true believers who are pleased with their Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى we have to come with these characteristics of understanding our religion understanding the sunnah in how the Salaf Al-Saleh the pious predecessors understood it that is our first lesson and insha'Allah we will take our second lesson next week until then السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفروك وأتوبوا إليه
