The two meanings of من دون الله min doonillah

August 30, 2012

The following taken from:

http://www.albaidha.net/vb/showthread.php?p=11157

من شرح كتاب التوحيد لفضيلة الشيخ صالح بن عبد العزيز آل الشيخ
لفظ (من دون الله) يكثر في القرآن والسنة، و(من دون الله) عند علماء التفسير وعلماء التحقيق يراد بها شيئان: الأول: أن تكون بمعنى (مع)، (من دون اللّهِ) يعني مع الله، وعبَّر عن المعية بلفظ (من دون اللّهِ) لأن كل من دُعِيَ مع الله فهو دون الله جل وعلا فهم دونه، والله جل وعلا هو الأكبر هو العظيم وفي هذا دليل على بشاعة عمله. والثاني: أن قوله (من دون اللّهِ) يعني غير الله؛ (من ماتَ وهوَ يَدعو من دون اللّهِ) يعني وهو يدعو إلـها غير الله، فتكون (من دون اللّهِ) يعني أنه لم يعبد الله وأشرك معه غيره؛ بل دعا غيره استقلالا، فشملت من دون الله الحالين: من دعا الله ودعا غيره، ومن دعا غير الله وتوجه إليه استقلالا

From the Explanation of Kitaabut Tawheed by the Honorable Scholar Saalih ibn Abdul Azeez Aalush Shaikh

 

The expression: “مِنْ دُوْنِ اللهِ” occurs many times in the Qur’an1 and the Sunnah.  And “مِنْ دُوْنِ اللهِ” according to the Scholars of Tafseer and the Scholars of Verification means two things:

 

Firstly, the meaning is with ( مَعَ ), ‘min doonillah’ means ‘along with Allah’. And it conveys the meaning of ‘with’ because everything which is worshiped along with Allah is worshiped beside Him – Mighty and Lofty is He – so they are (worshiped) along with Him.  And Allah – Lofty and Exalted is He – He is Greater (than all), He is the Most Great, and in this is a proof for the hideousness of worshiping others with Him.

 

Secondly: the expression ‘min doonillah’ means ‘other than’ Allah; “Whoever dies while he is worshiping other than Allah” – meaning: while he is worshiping someone or something as a god other than Him.  So ‘min doonillah’ may not mean that someone worshiped others along with Allah, rather that he worshiped other than Him instead of Him.  So ‘min doonillah’ includes two meanings:(1) one who worships Allah and also worships someone (or something) along with Him and (2) one who worships other than Allah instead of Him.

Meaning of Ruqyah and Proof of its Lawfulness

August 9, 2012

Quoting from the Rules and Etiquettes of Ruqyah.  Anything in brackets like this: {} is something I added.

 

The foundation of ruqyah consists of performing supplications, reciting the Qur’aan and blowing spittle in order to seek Allaah’s assistance and refuge in Him.  This is the basis for it, i.e. that one intends by it to prevent or remove a calamity by seeking Allaah’s aid for it or refuge in Him from it.

Based on this, ruqyah can be divided into two parts {types}:

1.Ruqyah by which one seeks refuge in and assistance from only Allaah {God}.  This is what has been permitted and legislated in the Religion.

2.Ruqyah by which one seeks refuge in and assistance in someone other than Allaah.  This is polytheism (shirk) and it is prohibited.

People in the Days of Ignorance {before Islam} would practice ruqyah quite often, as Allaah says:

وَقِيْلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ

And it will be said: ‘Who can cure him by way of ruqyah?’”

[Surah Al-Qiyaamah {75}:27]

This verse means that when death would approach a person (in the Days of Ignorance), he would look for someone to perform ruqyah on him.  A poet once said:

وإذا المنية أنشبت أظفارها          ألفيت كل تميمة لا تنفع

And when the claws of the death take hold

I found every good luck charm  did not benefit.”

This refers to the means of treatment that they would use to cure.  People in the Days of Ignorance would use ruqyah to prevent calamities such as illnesses and the evil eye.  They would also use it to remove and terminate misfortunes just like a medicine that would be used to stop a sickness after it occurs.

However, the difference was that they would seek refuge in other than Allaah when performing ruqyah, such as their gods, idols and even the jinn.  And we seek refuge with Allaah from all of this!  Or they would ask assistance from false gods besides Allaah. 

This is why, as authentically reported in Saheeh Muslim, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said:

اِعْرَضُوا عَلَيَّ رُقَاكُم. لا بَأْسَ بِالرُقَى ما لَم يَكُنْ [فيه] شٍرْكٌ

Present your incantations (ruqaa) to me. There is no harm in incantations so long as there is no shirk (polytheism) [in them].”

Meaning: “On the condition that there cannot be found any polytheistic aspects in them.”

The Rules and Etiquettes of Ruqyah by Shaikh Saalih Aalush Shaikh p.13 – 14

Meaning of Dhikr

June 6, 2012

Shaikh Saalih Aalush Shaikh explained the meaning of “dhikr” (remembrance) thusly:

 

ما معنى ذكر الله ؟ هل هو التسبيح والتهليل والتحميد فقط ؟ الجواب : لا ، فذكر الله عامٌّ في كل ما يذكرك بالله ، كما جاء في صفة أولياء الله أنهم إذا رُؤوا ذُكِر الله . يعني إذا رأيتهم ذكرت الله بالقول ، ذكرت الله بالعمل ، ذكرت الله بالعلم ، هذه صفة الصادقين إذا رؤوا ذُكر الله ، ليس في رؤيتهم ذكر للدنيا ، إنما هو ذكر لله – جل وعلا – فذكر الله يعم أنواع العبادات ، كل العبادات القولية والعملية ، عبادات القلوب أو عبادات اللسان والجوارح كلها ذكر لله – جل وعلا – ، تلاوة القرآن ذكر لله – جل وعلا – قال تعالى ( إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ) (الحجر:9) وقال ( وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْأَلونَ ) (الزخرف:44) على أحد وجهي التفسير . كل نوع من أنواع العبادة ذِكْرٌ ، إذًا اذكر الله بجميع أنواع العبادات

 

What is the meaning of dhikr of Allah (God)?  Is it saying “Subhaan Allah1”, “Laa ilaaha illallah2”, and “Alhamdulillah3” only?  The answer is no.  Dhikr of Allah is general for everything that makes you remember Allah, as comes in the description of the Awliyaa of Allah  – that when they are seen, Allah is remembered. Meaning – when you see them, you remember Allah in speech, action, and knowledge.  This is a description of the truthful – when they are seen, Allah is remembered.  There is not remembrance  of the worldly life  from seeing them.  There is only remembrance of Allah – Exalted and Lofty is He.

So dhikr of Allah generally includes all types of worship.  All types of worship from speech, actions, actions of the heart, the tongue, and the limbs- all of that is dhikr of Allah – Exalted and Lofty is He.  Reciting the Quran is dhikr of Allah – Exalted and Lofty is He.  He, The Most High, said (translated): ‘Indeed We have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and indeed We will preserve it’4 (15:9) and He said (translated): ‘And indeed it is a dhikr (reminder) for you and for your people and you will be questioned (about it).’ 43:44

 

From: http://salehalshaikh.com/wp2/?p=526

 

1God is Perfect and Free from all deficiencies and defects

2None deserves to be worshiped except for God alone

3God alone deserves all the praise and thanks

4This is a proof the Quran has been unchanged in 1400 years since its revelation and that it will continue to remain unchanged as Allah (God) has Himself promised to preserve it.  The preservation of the previous Books (the Tawrah revealed to Moses, the Injeel revealed to Jesus son of Mary, etc) was entrusted to men, and they failed in that, see these verses: 5:44, 2:75,79

Shaikh Saalih Aalush Shaikh on Asking the Dead for Dua

March 8, 2012

The following question was answered by Shaikh Saalih Aaalush Shaikh.  Translated from:

http://www.albaidha.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-22130.html

Q: Whoever asks the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) after his death that he prays (makes dua) for him (the asker) and seeks forgiveness for him  from Allah (God, The Creator), is this polytheism?

A: “Yes, it is major polytheism because the Prophet (alayhes-salatu was-salaam) is not called upon after his death.  So seeking dua (calling upon/invocation) from the dead, seeking dua for deliverance or rain, meaning, that he calls upon God to rescue him or he calls upon God to forgive him, or to give him something, etc, all of these things enter into the meaning of dua (calling upon/invocation).  And God, Lofty and Exalted is He, said (translated):

And the masjids are only for God, so don’t call upon anyone else along with God”1 (Quran 72:18)

And the one who says that this form – seeking dua – is not the seeking which is shirk (polytheism), then he has indeed nullified completely the foundation of monotheism in this respect.  For all types are seeking.  Seeking dua, meaning, seeking dua from the dead, seeking forgiveness from the dead, or seeking dua from the dead – that the dead person prays to God that He forgives, or seeking deliverance from the dead or help, etc., all of this is from the same angle, the angle of ‘seeking’. And ‘seeking’ is dua and this enters into (what is mentioned) in The Most High’s (God’s) statement (translated):

Whoever worships another god along with God has no proof for that2. Verily, his reckoning is with his Lord.  Indeed, He will never cause the disbelievers3 to be successful.” (23:117)

And in His statement (translated):

And the masjids are only for God, so don’t call upon anyone else along with God” (72:18)

  And in His statement (translated):

And those you call upon other than God do not own even a qitmeer (thin membrane over the date seed).” (35:13)

And verses similar to those.  So this differentiation (between praying to the dead and seeking the dead to pray for you) is contrary to the proof.  And whoever understood from the speech of some of our leading scholars a differentiation or that seeking dua from the dead is an innovation, then this doesn’t mean that it is not polytheism. Rather, it is the innovation which is (also) polytheism. 

Meaning, what the people of Pre-Islamic ignorance used to do. They would only seek to become closer to them by calling upon them (and this is disbelief and polytheism).  But seeking from the dead that they pray for you, this is an innovation which has no basis, not from the people of Pre-Islamic ignorance, nor from the Muslims.  So this was something newly invented which is without a doubt an innovation.  But it is an innovation that is polytheism and disbelief.

And its meaning is intercession.  What is the meaning of intercession  which is sought from other than Allah that is polytheism? Intercession is seeking dua.  Seeking dua from the dead is considered intercession (the impermissible intercession which is polytheism since the dead do not have the ability to intercede for the one asking).”

Reference – The 8th tape of the Explanation of al Aqeedatut Tahaawiyah

1 The Scholar at-Tabari said in explanation of this verse:

ا(وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلا تَدْعُوا) أيها الناس ( مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا ) ولا تشركوا به فيها شيئا، ولكن أفردوا له التوحيد، وأخلصوا له العبادة.

 “’And the masjids are only for God, so don’t call upon’ O mankind ‘anyone else along with God’ and don’t worship anyone or anything with Him, rather single Him out with monotheism, and make all worship only for Him”

2   i.e. there is no command from God, The Creator, instructing people to worship others along with Him.  Rather, God instructs His creation (mankind and jinn) to be true monotheists.  He said in the Qur’an (translated): “And worship God (only) and don’t worship anyone or anything with Him” (4:36)

3 Who disbelieve in the existence of God or who worship others along with Him

The Living Scholar Saalih Fawzaan

The Living Scholar Saalih Aalush-Shaikh

May 13, 2010

Taken from:

http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=19&Topic=10018

He is: Saalih bin ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Muhammad bin Ibraaheem bin ýAbdil-
Lateef bin ýAbdir-Rahmaan bin Hasan bin Muhammad bin ýAbdil-Wahhaab,
may Allah have mercy upon all of those who have passed while preserving and protecting Shaykh Saalih. His lineage is traced back to the well known tribe of Banee Tameem. He was one raised in a religious home filled with knowledge and we do not purify anyone above Allah.

He was born in the city of Riyaadh in the year 1378 A.H. where he completed his secondary studies, and due to his aspiration for the university studies deservedly he entered into the Islamic University of Muhammad ibn Saýud in the College of Usool-ud-Deen in the Department of the Quraan and its Sciences. Upon graduating he worked in the teaching faculty of the Islamic University up until 1416 where he was then appointed as a representative to the Minister of Islamic Affairs of Religious Endowment, Inviting to Islam and Guidance.

In the year 1420 A.H. a decree was passed appointing him as the Minister of Islamic Affairs of Religious Endowment, Inviting to Islam and Guidance in addition to supervising several charitable organizations such as Muassasah al-Haramin al-Khaireeyah, Haiatul-Ighaathah al-Islaameeyah al-ýAalameeyah, and an-Nadwah al-ýAlaameeyah li-Shabaab al-Islaamee.

The Shaykh (hafithahullah) devotes himself to the students of knowledge and provides solutions to their issues based on the understanding of the Major Scholars of the Salafee Daýwah and he has been upon this since his childhood, and he is persistent upon spreading and teaching it in his classes, lectures, and religious counsel that he gives in the various masaajid and in other places.

The Shaykh is an avid reader and researcher of the religious rulings of his grandfather his Eminence ash-Shaykh al-ýAlaamah Muhammad bin Ibraaheem
(rahimahullah) whereas he occupies himself with studying these rulings and
understanding their meanings along with studying the knowledge and fiqh
based terminologies (found in the text of those rulings) as well as those
meanings that are confined to a ruling given at a certain timeframe and locale.

And after Allah, he would seek the assistance of the Major Scholars with
studying those rulings such as his Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Baaz(rahimahullah), his father ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Muhammad bin
Ibraaheem (hafithahullah), his Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez Aali ash-Shaykh the Current General Muftee of the Kingdom (hafithahullah) and his
Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdillah bin ýAqeel (hafithahullah), Former President of the Permanent Committee of Higher Board Jurisdiction.

He has sought knowledge from a number of Scholars such as:
1. His Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Baaz(rahimahullah).
2. His father ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Muhammad bin Ibraaheem
(hafithahullah).
3. His Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdullah bin ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin ýAqeel
(hafithahullah).
4. His Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdullah bin Ghudayan (hafithahullah), member of the Organization of Major Scholars.
5. His Eminence ash-Shaykh ýAbdil-ýAzeez bin Murshid (rahimahullah).
6. His Eminence ash-Shaykh Ahmad al-Muraabit ash-Shanqitee (hafithahullah)
representative of Muftee for the areas of Mauritania in which he studied with him the sciences of the Arabic language.
7. Ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saýd al-Badal (hafithahullah) whom he learnt
an-Nahw from.
8. And he had numerous knowledge-based sittings and research with His
Eminence ash-Shaykh the Muhaddith Hamaad al-Ansaaree (rahimahullah).

He has pursued a collection of knowledge-based certifications from various
