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.

Time to make our Tawheed Apparent

Naseehah by: Umm Hyatt al-Ameriki حفظها الله

Transcribed by: Umm Hasna as-Saylâniyyah

 

From the Most Beautiful Names of Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى, is that He is The Only One Who Heals and Cures. And also from Allaah's Beautiful Names is *At-Thabeeb* ~  (The Doctor). Both *Ash-Shaafie and At-Thabeeb* are authentic Names and there is daleel (proof) for that. 

We chose this particular topic today because we are in a time now wherein various types of illnesses are spreading whether physical/mental ~ i.e. in general (even before COVID -19). If we contemplate, before Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى created the heavens and the earth -- 50,000 years ago, it is written in *The Preserved Tablet*- (Al Law-al-Mahfoud), This is our belief.

Mental illnesses can be classified as depression, anxiety etc. and there has been an increase of this. What we also found is that along with the increase in illnesses, it has become a norm that the believers who have submitted their souls to Allaah are also attaching their hearts to other than Allaahسُبحانه وتعالى . They are fleeing to the creation for healing and seeking cure forgetting that it is only Allaah Who is ash-Shaafie -- The sole Healer and Curer and He is at-Thabeeb.

Islaamic perspective during an Epidemic

Allaah سبحانه و تعالى wants good for him in order that his sins be removed by way of his difficulties and pain.

These afflictions, hardships and trials for the Believer is not a punishment --- but it is good since it removes his sins. It is a form of purification for him.

It removes the sins of the Believer as a tree sheds its leaves on a windy day as comes in the Hadeeth.

This is a small reminder for myself and then to you.

This is a time to strengthen our belief, certainty, trust and dependence upon Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and to strengthen our Tawakal.

Superiority of Faith (belief) of the Believer should be more obvious during these days. The Believer should not show weakness and fear during these times of trials & tribulations. He should rather turn to his Caretaker, his Owner, his Organizer .... the One to Whom everything belongs and to the One Whom everything will return.

The Dua of our Messenger صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم:

اللّهُمَّ إنّي أعوذُ بك من علم لا ينفع ومن قلب لا يخشع ومن نفس لا تشبع ومن دعاء لا يسمع

O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that is not humbly submissive; from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not given a response.

Lecture given to the sisters at Masjid al-Imaam Muqbil (UK)

on: 5th Rabi-ul-Thaani, 1438H / Tuesday, 3rd January 2017

The Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said,

                                                          

"Whoever takes the path hoping for knowledge, Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى makes easy for him the path to Paradise. Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of pleasure of what he is doing. Verily all that is in the heavens and earth seek forgiveness for the knowledgeable, even the fish in the water....."
