Laamiyyah of Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah with Hassan as-Somali - using the explanation of Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee
Recorded live at the Cardiff Conference 2016
The speaker started by asking attendees to read the matn (text) by heart. Yesterday, the first 4 lines were covered.
Points of benefit from today’s lesson:
- We started with a brief revision of some of the points from yesterday
- One of the benefits of studying Aqeedah is that it makes a person firm
- The dangers of the belief that the Quran is created
- Why do the scholars start with this topic in the books of Aqeedah?
- What is the belief of Ahlu Sunnah regarding the names and attributes of Allah?
- The most important principle regarding the names and attributes of Allah
- The salafee has no ambiguity in his aqeedah
- A refutation of those who reject the ascension of Allah over the throne
- Will the believers see Allah? What is the proof?
- What is the effect of having a corrupt methodology?
- The attribute of Nuzool (descent) of Allah
- An encouragement to study the correct aqeedah
- What is the correct belief regarding the scales on the Day of Judgment?
The lines of the poem that we covered today:
And I say regarding the Qur'an (only) that which has come
[In its] verses, for it is the Noble Revelation
And I say, "Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic said"
[And likewise] "the Chosen One (the Prophet) [said],"
and I do not explain away (their speech)
And all the verses of the attributes I pass them on
In truth, just as the first (and best of generations)
have transmitted [without explaining them away]
And I return the obligatory responsibility towards
them to those who transmitted them (intact)
And I protect them from all that is
imagined (with respect to their realities)
Disgrace for the one who threw
the Qur'aan behind his back
And when asked to provide evidence,
says, "al-Akhtal [the Christian] said!"
And the Believers will see their Lord in Truth (in the Hereafter)
And to the heaven does He descend without (designating) a how
And I affirm the Scales and the Pool which
I hope to be (amongst those) whose thirst will be
quenched (by it)
