Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's minlah one hamilla was Salatu was Salam. I don't
know la he and my bidy beIN la He tayler.
We continue with our series back to the basics and Hamdadilah.

(00:25):
It took me a minute. I was looking for a book,
uh that was not too lengthy but dealt with the
basics of the akkada of al Islam. So it took
me a while and a lot about dollar blessed me
to find a book by che Sali Alfaousan Hafi, the

(00:50):
La Hota Ala called Fundamental Beliefs of a Muslim, and
we will be reading from this book in the second
part of this series. I don't know when we're going

(01:10):
to end this series back to the basics. I don't know,
you know, because it is so important for me and
for the Muslims and Phenomenuslims to understand the beliefs of
ale Slam and the check check FLEs have the law.

(01:33):
He's going to talk a little bit about this in
the introduction of which we're going to read momentarily, but
I want to remind myself and the Muslims and speak
to the non Muslims as well. Whatever it is that

(02:00):
we are going through in life in this dunyon. For
the Muslims, do not abandon Al Islam. Struggle with whatever
it is you're struggling with while maintaining your hold to

(02:27):
the rope of a lot of battle kadala. And for
the non Muslims, when you it becomes clear to you
that this is the truth, because it's the truth. Islam
is the truth. It is the hawk from al hak.

(02:52):
When you become convinced of it, become Muslim, take you're shahia,
say the two testimonies of faith. Do not be tricked
by thinking you have to give up this and give
up that before you accept Islam. Wherever it is that

(03:18):
you are struggling with, struggle with it inside of Islam.
Don't stay outside of Islam and struggle with it. Come
into the house of Ali Islam and struggle with it
in there. Because we never know when we're going to

(03:39):
return to Altabakdala. And whoever returns to a lota bachdalla
without accepting Ali Islam, then their boat will be the
fire a lost airs. While MANYEVITERI ISLAMI denan fella yoko
balu minhu, while who I feel ariti minna kassi Din.

(04:02):
Whoever seeks a religion other than his Slam, it will
never be accepted from him, and then the hereafter he'll
be one of the losers. So whatever it is that
you're struggling with, once a law opens your breast to

(04:24):
the fact that it Slam is the truth, accept a
Slam and struggle with what you need to struggle with
while in a slam. Na. I just wanted to say
that as a preamble to read the introduction of this

(04:50):
book by cher sorry alaf alexin Hafee the law holt alah.
The cheer says, this man lie in the name of
a Llah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. All praises
and thanks are due to a law, Lord of all creation,

(05:15):
who guided us to Islam tadiya lao la and had
on law. Never could we have found guidance. Was it
not that a law had guided us. We asked him,

(05:37):
who is free from all imperfections, to make us firm
upon Islam until death a law. Tabadala said yahyu and laddina,
I'm gonna talk a law while I tell untimous Sliman

(06:00):
you who believe fear a law as he should be
feared and do not die except in the state of Islam,
with complete submission to a law. We ask him not
to cause our hearts to deviate after he has guided us.

(06:22):
La touzilbaa eve her day tenor or karahma in untold whab,
Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate from the truth,
after you have guided us and grant us mercy from you.

(06:43):
Truly you are the bestower. May the peace and blessings
of a law be upon our prophet, our example, and
our beloved one, Muhammad, the messenger of our law, so
la la hule He was sulm hom a law said

(07:04):
as a mercy to the whole of mankind. And may
Allah be pleased with his devoted and virtuous companions from
the Mahadrin and the Ansar and those who follow them
in goodness for as long as the night and day alternate.

(07:25):
I'm my bid to proceed. These are a few short
words in classification of the belief of the people of
Sunna and the community. It was necessary to write them
due to the separation indiffering that the Islamic nation lives

(07:48):
through today, which is represented by the abundance of contemporary
sex in different groups. Every one of them calls to
their own creed and praises his own group, until the
ignorant Muslim is confused as to whom he should follow
and who he should imitate. The disbelievers who desire to

(08:16):
embrace Islam does not know what the true Islam is
that he has read and heard about, the Islam which
the Qur'an and the son of the prophet salalah na
Suliem has guided to, and the Islam that was portrayed

(08:38):
in the life of the noble companions, read the Law
on hum and practiced by the praiseworthy generations. Rather, Islam
is viewed predominantly as a name without the reality of
the meaning, as stated by one of the Orientalists when

(09:00):
he said, Islam is veiled by its people, meaning that
they ascribe to this religion without possessing its true qualities.
We do not say that Islam is lost in totality
because a loss of prano Atala has guaranteed its continuation

(09:24):
through the preservation of his book as a law to
Bedikadala said in the Nazel Nadra or in Allah Lahavon. Indeed,
it is we who have sent down the remainder meaning
the Koran, and surely we will guard it from corruption.

(09:47):
He has also safeguarded Islam through the presence of a
group of Muslims who will implement, preserve and defend the
religion as a law. To Bedikada said yeah you Ladina
armeno mane yer daminkom and deini for sulfa yati la

(10:11):
who be called me your hip bon hom while your
hip bonahu adilla? Why your hip bona? Who are then
letting alan me nina is sitting alan cafina you j
you're doing a while you have una laom mat m

(10:40):
Daddy can follow the law yuk team and esha what
lahoue on alain all you who believe whosoever from amongst
you turns back from his religion, alis Na will bring
a peace people whom he will love and they will

(11:03):
love him. Humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers,
fighting in the way of a law and never being
afraid of the blame of the blamers. A lot of
Badala also said, what intatawollah Yestabad call in rera coom

(11:26):
from malayakunu amhalakom. If you turn away from his Lam
and the obedience of a law. He will exchange you
for some other people, and they will not be like you. Yes,

(11:46):
this is the same group that the messenger of a law,
lah who al was Alam said about. There will not
cease to be a group from our nation wh will
manifest upon the truth. They will not be harmed by
those who forsake them, nor by those who oppose them,

(12:09):
until the command of a law comes. While they are
upon that way, let's stop here for a second. Let's
stop it to clarify this. For the Muslims and for
the non Muslims, this group that the prophet of the

(12:30):
lot is Sellen mentioned in this hadi, they are Muslims.
They are practitioners of Islam. They don't have a title,

(12:58):
they don't People come up with these excuses and that's
all they are. In reality, they're lying on a law
because they come up with these excuses, and they say,
we need to have something that distinguishes us from the

(13:19):
Muslims who are not upon the truth first and foremost.
That is a statement of Kipper number one number two.
When did a lotta better cadala stop making it clear
those who are truthful from those who are lying. When
did he stop doing that? He hasn't. He's never stopped

(13:47):
doing that. He's never gonna stop doing that. The people
who the prophet are some is talking about in this
Hadi are Muslims. What is the distinguishing factor. They followed

(14:07):
what the prophets they were selling them came with, and
in the way that the companions practiced it. That's it.
They don't need titles. Okay, But why don't they need titles?

(14:28):
Because they didn't need titles. Let's go back to the
beginning of when I first started this series. By the
permission of a law, I quoted the statement of Email Mallick.
The only thing that will rectified a lot of part

(14:49):
of this nation is what rectified the former, the companions
the prophet, so they sell them his companions. They did
not use titles. They were Muslims. They followed the miller

(15:10):
of Eba Haim Collas finished. They were the oh Ma Muhammed,
some of the law who with some of them, they
didn't need titles. Therefore, we don't need titles. We need

(15:31):
to be Muslims. Nah. The share continues. Therefore, at this
point it is binding upon us to become acquainted with

(15:52):
this blessed group that represent true Islam. May a Law
make us from them, so that those who want to
learn about the corrected Slam can learn about it, and
so that they can become acquainted with His people, which
will allow them to take them as an example and

(16:17):
traverse in their footsteps. This will also allow those who
want to embrace the Slam from the disbelievers to attach
themselves to this group. Now, that is the beginning. That
is the introduction to this work by share Thoroly alf

(16:43):
Alesan Fundamental Beliefs of a Muslim. Fundamental Beliefs of a Muslim.
While in La Him, I was just thinking this morning,
lots of dollars blessed us. We have a blueprint that

(17:06):
has not been corrupted that we can go to for
whatever we need in regard to our Dean and our Dunya.
And we can perform those actions and make those statements
and they will be pleasing to a Law. To abat Aquati,

(17:30):
there are lots of a dollar bless the Muslims. Bless
us to truly be a pun what his messengers, the
lawn and his companions were upun Rut, Dear Law, I
know much, mayen inwardly and outwardly and not making claims,

(17:54):
not making claims, not making claims. Why am I saying
this because the Sahaba didn't make claims, and you have
groups of Muslims and they say I'm so and so
because I'm on what they were on. Okay, Just that

(18:19):
statement alone is proof that you're not on what they say,
that what they want. This, that statement alone is proof
that you're not. Just that statement alone is proof that
you're not on what they want. How do I know
because they didn't make claims, They didn't do that. They

(18:45):
were afraid for themselves. How do I know that? Because
of the statement of apple Mulaki Rahim Anlah he said
he met thirty. He only met thirty. He met thirty
of the companions of the prophetorlane with some of them,

(19:07):
and all of them feared hip hypocrisy for themselves, all
of them. They didn't make claims. They were afraid for themselves.
So any Muslim who claims, who claims that he's on

(19:28):
the truth, that he's on what they were on, that
statement alone is proof that you're not on what they want.
Have a what's and some better other than not being
a mohammad
