Statements by the Scholars Regarding the Term Ilâh

Abâ Butayn an-Najdî Rahimahullâh

Bismillâh'ir Rahmân'ir Rahîm. In his book al-Intisâr, Abâ Butayn Rahimahullâh said regarding the term Ilâh,

The Meaning of the Term Ilâh

Shaykh'ul Islâm Ibnu Taymiyyah Rahimahullâh said, "Ilâh is the obeyed Ma'bûd. So Ilâh is in the meaning of Ma'lûh (the who is taken as an Ilâh)."19

Ibn'ul Qayyim said, "Ilâh, is the one which the hearts deify with love, respect, penitence, honor, glorification, fear, hope, and reliance."20

Ibnu Rajab said, "Ilâh is the one who is not disobeyed and is obeyed due to veneration, respect, love, fear,...

A Treatise Regarding the Five Issues That Are Compulsory to Know

Again, -may Allâhu Taâlâ sanctify his soul and brighten his grave- Shaykh'ul Islâm Muhammad bin Abd'il Wahhâb has a treatise with these phrases:

Five issues are compulsory upon you to know:

[Warning Against Associating Partners with Allâh]

The First

The first statement that Allâhu Taâlâ revealed to Muhammad Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam once He sent him with "guidance and the true religion." (at-Tawbah, 9/33; as-Saff, 61/9) was the following,

"O you enveloped in garments! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord (Allâh)!" (al-Muddaththir, 74/1-3)

The meaning of Allâhu Taâlâ's statement, "warn," is "warning against associating partners ...

The Translators' Preface

We begin with the name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful and we seek refuge in Him. All praise is due to Allâh, who established the pillars of the religion, who explained the Sharî'ah and its rulings to the creation, who sent the prophets whom He specially chose from amongst mankind to convey His message to invite the people to Tawhîd and prohibit them from polytheism, who sealed the call with our Prophet Muhammad Sallallâhu Alayhi wa Sallam, who made our Prophet more virtuous than all previous messengers, who made his Sharî'ah the true Sharî'ah until the Day of Resurrection,  who created the companions and the Tâbi'ûn to establish the proof, who allowed the jurists to remove the doubts regarding the religion of Islâm, and who protected the religion of Islâm thr...

[Explaining Whom Shaykh Muhammad Declares Takfîr Upon and Fights Against]

In short, everything mentioned regarding us other than calling people to Tawhîd and negating Shirk is a lie. Amazement is to what occurs from the leaders of the opponents! When I clarified to them the statement by Allâh and what the exegetes mentioned regarding the statement by Allâhu Taâlâ,

"Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, (striving as to) which of them would be nearest." (al-Isrâ, 17/57) Until the end of the verse.

And the statement by Allâhu Taâlâ,

"They say: These are our intercessors with Allâh." (Yûnus, 10/18)

Also, Allâhu Taâlâ's statement,

"We only worship them that they may bring us near to Allâh." (az-Zumar, 39/3)

And what Allâh mentioned from the affirmation of the di...

Taking a person out of the fold of Islâm or including them in Islâm is the most important matter of the religion. Therefore, it is necessary for the person who advises his soul to not speak on such matters without Shar'î knowledge and evidences, and he should beware of including a person in Islâm and excluding another out of the fold of Islâm merely with his comprehension and what is approved by his intellect. If the opinion of a person who rules by his whims reaches the point of declaring Takfîr upon the Ummah of Islâm or rendering those who possess clear Kufr as Muslim, then he is indeed astray.

Again, every person should refrain from quarreling ignorantly regarding Allâh and His religion. Unfortunately, modern-day people often discuss such matters without any knowledge and are quick to deem things that are not Kufr to be Kufr and deem things that are Kufr to be Islâm, meanwhile, they are unaware of their own compound ignorance. Many among the parties of such debates are people who have not received an Islâmic education, who do not have a share of knowledge and wisdom, and who made their religion a subject of debate on social media. Unfortunately, the condition of these people is akin to the condition of those whom Allâh has described as follows in His statement,

"And among men is he who disputes about Allâh, without knowledge or guidance, or an enlightening Book; twisting his neck (in arrogance) to mislead people from the way of Allâh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the burning fire." (al-Hajj, 22/8-9)

We ask Allâh for well-being and peace.

Our advice to you is to turn to the essence of Tawhîd, which comprises of the foundation of Islâm, and try to comprehend it properly. Knowing the disputes regarding the issue of Ikrâh and the preferred and non-preferred views is of no benefit to a person who has been unable to comprehend the essence of Tawhîd. On the other hand, it is possible for a person who has comprehended the essence of Tawhîd to enter Paradise with the mercy of Allâh, even though he is not knowledgeable about the disputes in matters of jurisprudence. May Allâh enable you to be from among His servants who are rightly guided, who live upon Islâm and the Sunnah, and who die upon Islâm and the Sunnah, Âmîn.

And Allâh knows best. May the peace and blessings of Allâh be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.

[The Shirk of Invoking the Righteous and Others is the Shirk of the Idol Worshippers]

When you understand what I told you whole heartedly, and understand associating partners to Allâh regarding which Allâh said,

"Indeed, Allâh does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." (an-Nisâ, 4/48) Until the end of the verse.

When you understand the religion of Allâh with which He sent the messengers from the first until the last, and which Allâh does not accept anything else as a religion from anyone and when you understand that the majority of people are ignorant regarding this, this will benefit you twice:

The first benefit is rejoicing because of the bounty and mercy of Allâh. Allâhu Taâlâ said,

"Say: In the bounty of Allâh and in His ...
