Treatise: The Conditions
of Laa Ilaaha Illallaah
By: Sheikh Mohammed
Ibn Abdul-Wahab an-Najdi
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.
