الجزء السابع: فضل العلم وميراث العلماء في السنة الصحيحة
*S Surah Tahaa 20:114 * Surah Zumar 39:9. *” Surah Mujaadala 58:11.
The Holy Prophet 2% said: “Whenever Allah wants good for a person He gives him or her understanding of the Deen.”
The Holy Prophet 8 said: “The religious scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. And he who travelled a path seeking knowledge thereof Allah 3% shall use that path to make it easy for him to enter the Paradise.’”*”
The Holy Prophet “= said: Whenever the son of Adam has passed away all his pious deeds come to a halt except in three cases:
J. A continuous charity (e.g. He built a mosque or an Islamic school etc).
2. Islamic knowledge which he left behind.
3. A pious son or daughter who constantly makes du’aa for Allah 3 to forgive him.
The Holy Prophet 3 also said: “This dunya is cursed, and everything in it is cursed except three things:
1. The remembrance of Allah 3% and what causes you to remember Allah,
2. A scholar of Islam,
Likewise the Prophet said: “Verily Allah 2 and all His Angels and the inhabitants of the Heavens and the Earth even the ant in his hole and the fishes in the sea sends peace and blessings upon the scholar who teaches the people their religion.”

The Islamic Scholar even though he is firmly grounded in knowledge cannot be on the level of a prophet of Allah 3 neither in knowledge, rank nor status. This fabricated khabar is cited by the Qadiyaanis, may Allah curse them, who claim that the possibility exist for prophets to come after Muhammad 2.
The Holy Prophet 2 said: “The learned are the inheritors of the Prophets.” Since the learned are the inheritors of the Prophets as stated by the Holy Prophet 2%; inevitably they will suffer the persecutions, which the Prophets had encountered. This includes ridicule, rejection, backbiting, imprisonment and ultimately death.
The Muslim scholars today are presently undergoing these persecutions, especially in Arab countries.

When Allah created the Aql (human intellect) He commanded it by saying come and it went to Allah. He then said to it retreat and it retreated. So He said by My Glory and Majesty I have not created anything more precious then thee.

The rationalists pride themselves on the above-mentioned Hadith. A rationalist is a person who forms his opinions by reasoning rather than relying on Qur’an and Sunnah. Rationalism is a fitnah in the Muslim world at the moment. The rationalists are mainly people who study dunya subjects in the kafir institutions of Europe and America, and consequently they start looking down on the Qur’an and Sunnah. The rationalist often uses his intellect to veto the Qur’an and Sunnah.
We do not discourage Muslims from thinking or using
their intellect. How could we discourage Muslims from using their intellect when Allah 3% said:
“Verily the worst of creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb, those who don’t think for themselves,”
So since Allah 3% has encouraged us to think it could never be a thing, which is frowned upon. What is frowned upon is the attitude of the rationalists who rely entirely on their intellect to understand the deen rather than relying on divine revelation, ie. Qur’an and Sunnah. This attitude of theirs has led some of them to denying Allah’s ninety-nine names and attributes. Concerning these people Allah 5 said:
“And among mankind is he who disputes about Allah, without ‘nowiedge or r guidance, or a book giving light (from Allah).
apd ous leat ob 5G ag | jee od (as in eK eel Ls ality ales 4
“And it has already been revealed to you in the book (this Qur’an) that when you hear the verses of Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a
talk other than that; (but if you stay with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.’”*
When the Mutazilites (rationalists) deny all of Allah’s ninety-nine names and attributes; they have nullified tawhid Asmaa Was Sifaat, which is one of the four branches of tawhid. tawhid has four branches and anyone who denies one is guilty of denying all, hence he has apostated from the Deen.
The four branches of tawhid are as follows: 1. tawhid Rububiya i.e. to believe that Allah 3% is the only Lord and Creator. Hence He said:
“All praise is due to Allah Lord of the worlds.”*”
2. tawhid Uluhiya, i.e. to believe that Allah 3% alone deserves to be worshipped. Hence He said:
bent HL 2455 HEL
“You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help.”
3. tawhid Asmaa Was Sifaat, i.e. to believe in Allah’s ninetynine names and attributes.
4. tawhid Haakimiya, i.e. to believe that Allah 3% is the only lawgiver.
In this regard Allah 3% said: “Master of the Day of Judgement.”
“Ts not Allah the best of Judges? 7
“,,.And He Allah doesn’t allow anyone to share with Him in His Rule.””!
Since Allah 3% is the only Law-giver, tawhid Haakimiya is know of Islam by necessity. However there is a vicious conspiracy championed by the wicked scholars and their apostate pay-masters to erase this tawhid from the hearts and minds of the Muslims. The apostate leaders and the wicked scholars are a part and parcel of the New World Order. Islam is the greatest threat to this Dajjal system called the New World Order. Hence the wicked scholars are vehemently trying to deny Allah His right to be the only Law-giver. They claim tawhid
Haakimiya is a bid’ah. By making this claim they have all apostated from al Islam because Allah said in regards to His governance in Surah al Kahf, verse 26:
@ lislrueKS 34 815
And He, Allah doesn’t allow anyone to share with Him in His rule.
In their desperate attempt to hide tawhid Haakimiya from the believers, they slide it underneath tawhid Ruboobiya and claim that they all mean the same thing. This is the aqeedah of Shaikh Uthaymeen of Saudi Arabia. If we should follow this ageedah of Uthaymeen, then we will all have to believe that the Shaitaan is a Muslim. In Surah Hijr verse 36 the Shaitaan acknowledges tawhid Ruboobiya. When he was thrown out of Heaven by Allah Shaitaan said :
“My Lord grant me respite until the Day when they will be resurrected”
Hence the Shaitaan in the above mentioned ayah acknowledges that Allah is his one and only Lord ie. He acknowledges tawhid Ruboobiya. Yet the Shaitaan doesn’t acknowledge tawhid Haakimiya, this is why he bluntly refuses to bow down to Adam (as). If he were of those who believe that Allah has the right to be the sole commander, he would have obeyed Allah and bowed down to Adam. By his rebelling against Allah’s command, he was pronounced a kafir by Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Thus the deniers of
tawhid Haakimiya belong to the Madhab of Iblees, hence, they too are Kaafiroon.
The Mutazilites reason for denying Allah’s ninety-nine names and attributes is; if we believe that Allah 5% sees, hears and speaks then we will be making Allah 3% similar to man, since man does all those things. We refute them by saying Allah 3 Himself has attributed these names and attributes unto Himself many times in Al-Qur’an. Thus we see in the capacity as the creation but Allah 3% sees as the Creator. We see and Allah 3% sees but Allah is the All-Seeing. We hear and Allah hears but Allah Sis the All-Hearing. We know and Allah 3 knows but He is the All-Knowing. The Madhab of preferring the aq (intellect) to the naql (text) is the Madhab of Iblees, so when Allah 2 commanded him to bow down to Adam **£!) he refused claiming that he was better than Adam **=83) because Allah 2 created him from fire and Adam *£ from clay. By using logic he deemed it inappropriate to bow down to Adam %82E!\ since according to his common sense fire is better than clay. Allah S& related his disobedience to us as follows:
Ugdsens p59 lyidclas shal tli oh Kio 5.0 ab ak cals sly 5 55 Tes GIG @& jase tls S55 pall @ orb os Ualbs 6 ye ails ts 5s Hay
“And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the Angels, “Prostrate to Adam” and they prostrated except Iblees, he refused to be of those who prostrate. Allah said: “What prevented you O Iblees that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?” Iblees said: “I am better than him
(Adam), You created me from fire and You created him from clay.”
Not only was Iblees the first to use his intellect to rebel against Allah’s command but he was also the first racist. He claimed to be better than Adam because he was made from fire and Adam from clay. Hence anyone who claims to be better than someone else by virtue of race, tribe, clan or nationality has fallen into the web of the Shaitaan. To refute this notion Allah SS said:
“O mankind verily We have created you from a single male and female and made you into nations and tribes that you will know each other, not that you will despise each other. Verily the most honourable of you in the sight of Allah is that believer who is most righteous.”
Anyone who relies entirely upon his intellect to understand the deen rather than relying on Qur’an and Sunnah is bound to go astray. Things like the descriptions of Paradise and Hell-Fire have to be deducted from the text and not the intellect. Also the conversation that took place between Allah 3 and the Holy Prophet ‘32% when he went on Israa wal Miraaj can only be learnt from the text. Even though Allah 3 said in Surah Muhammad verse 15 that there is wine in Paradise, many times when I deliver lectures and quote this ayah the Muslims become surprised. According to their reasoning and logic there can’t be any wine in Paradise. They are also taken aback to hear that
