Lesson 1

Introduction

The conditions of Laa Ilaaha Illallaah have proofs and the author has mentioned some of the proofs related to each condition.

Someone could say why does the statement of Tawheed (Laa Ilaaha Illallaah) need conditions? Hasn’t the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ

‘Whoever has said Laa Ilaaha Illallaah has entered Jannah.’

Yes, he did say that and there are also other narrations that aids the fact that the statement needs conditions such as:

‘Whoever says, Laa Ilaaha Illallaah sincerely from his heart...’

“Whoever says Laa Ilaaha Illallaah and disbelieves in that which is worshiped other than Allaah...”

So these are some of the different narrations that show that the statement of Laa Ilaaha Illallaah has conditions.

This also shows the fact that there are the hypocrites who also said Laa Ilaaha Illallaah but it did not benefit them and they found themselves in the lowest part of the Hell-Fire. This proves that the statement Laa Ilaaha Illallaah benefits some and does not benefit others.
