Islamic creed level before and still
talking about the subject of the subject
that some people get deviated from the
truth by having the disease in their
hearts that their acceptance of the
truth is based on seeing something
supernatural or something strange. As a
result of that, many people can deceive
those who have these diseases in the
hearts and the masses by showing these
supernatural things as we heard before
that either it's a from Allah and honor
from Allah subhana t to the people of
to the righteous ones or it's from the
ways of the to those who innovate in the
dean and deviants and the like of this
and how to protect ourselves from
falling into these traps is to be warned
against extremism. when it comes to
dealing with the righteous ones and the
of Allah subhana wa tala and we have
this in our dean very clearly. So to
have to have extremism in over praising
the people of knowledge or over praising
the righteous ones or exalting them or
to believe that they have something
different in a level other than the
level of being human beings. You know
that a person would seek blessings from
them. You would find people wiping their
hands over other individuals and kissing
their feet and all these types of things
that is not from the way of the
prophetatam.
And Allahh forbade us and forbid the
people of the book from before not to be
in extreme
or people of the book. Do not be an
extreme in your religion and do not say
about Allah subhana tala which is not
true
isa the son of Mary is a messenger of
Allah and the words of Allah subhanaa
tala for him to be and he become and he
becomes so this is the way that Allah
subhana ta wants the believers to
believe the Christians when they were
were extreme in praising they took him
in a divine level that Allah subhanaa
tala is not pleased with that he's a
messenger of Allah and a slave of Allah
subhana tala an obedient slave to Allah
subhana tala and the same thing for
those who would overpraise some of the
righteous ones till they give him some
of the divinity or some of the things
that is only attributed to Allah subhana
wa ta'ala and the prophetat was warned
us and he said
be warned against extremism in matters
of
because indeed what destroyed the
nations before you is
to be extreme in the religion how to
protect ourselves from that follow the
way of the prophetatam
and how the companions
they used to deal with the prophetat
that's the messenger of Allah but then
how did the companions
dealt with Abu Bakr and he is the top of
the
after the messengers of Allah the best
of all human beings after the messengers
of Allah is Abu Bakr
did the companions
or the from the those who didn't see the
prophet
would come and wipe their hands over Abu
Bakr and kiss his feet and uh do these
types of deviant ways. Of course not. So
this is something that we have to follow
the way it was at the time of the
prophetatam
and the prophetat wasam forbade the um
from extreme that that extreme state of
overpraising
do not overpraise me the way that the
Christians did to Isaam
I'm the slave of Allah so say the slave
of Allah and the messenger of Allah and
that's the highest level if you want to
praise this is the perfect praise to
praise a human being that he's a servant
of Allah that he is the slave of Allah
and of course the best of all of the
human beings isoolam
because he's a slave of Allah and a
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and as it's known that one of
the first steps to for a person to fall
into the shik and associating partners
with Allah is this this extreme attitude
towards the righteous ones
Allah subhana t mentioned that in the
Quran that how a shik or associating
partners with Allah get initiated to
humanity is as mentioned in righteous
people when they died the people build
some images uh there for them to
remember them. If a person is about to
commit a sin he would see that and he
would remember the righteous people then
he would stay away from the sin.
these are the names of the righteous
people at the time of
he stated but then when the knowledge
become weak then they worship them
besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so
this is how the shaitan has his plan to
the people and when it comes to dreams
and things of that nature the people of
the truth they are to be loved and to
give them and to fulfill the rights to
them and to you know be kind and
respectful and so on but not to take
them in a level that is not their level
of divinity and the like of this and
that's why transgressing the limits when
it comes to the when it comes to the
righteous ones is of two types one that
can take the person outside the full
Islam if someone would believe or would
treat a human being in a way that the
same way that is to be to Allah subhana
wa tala like for example if someone
claimed that a human being he knows the
unseen he knows al or he's able to do
all things or he can control the
universe he can cause life and death and
so on or benefit and harm by his will by
his power and this is is is present in
some of the extreme ones among the sufis
and the like of them you know this takes
a person outside the fold of Islam what
is left to Allah subhana wa t'ala it's
all attributes of Allah subhana wa
ta'ala or still can take the person
outside the fold of Islam if they do to
other than Allah subhana wa t'ala to a
human being to a righteous one seeking
help from them after they die a person
is alone in the room like this and he
would call upon a dead righteous person
help me save me from the trouble that
that I'm in he made a dua to other than
Allah subhanaa tala which is major
slaughtering to them making vows to them
these are it's exactly as making sjud to
And some of them would go make sjud on a
grave for example. This is an act of a
major shik. So this is something that
can take the person outside the food of
Islam. The second type which is still
haram and it's sinful and it can lead to
the shik but of a lesser level of evil
but it's still evil. For example, when
the the the graves of special righteous
ones is to be built higher and to make
it, you know, Allah and the prophetat
wasam commanded us to make the graves uh
almost level to the ground just one hand
span to be raised from the ground but
not to be built but rather to be done
with dirt or so. building domes on top
of the graves of the righteous ones.
Building massagid on top of it, right?
Burying them in the massid, traveling to
visit their graves. The prophetat was
commanded us to visit the graves. And he
said,
I used to prevent you from visiting the
graves, but visit now the graves. Why?
For your own benefit. And we'll talk
about the proper etiquets and what's
what's the objective of visiting the
graves. But some people they visit the
graves of the righteous ones thinking
that this is a an act of an act of
righteousness. When this is the case,
even when we go to the masjid of the
prophetatam,
we are commanded to travel and it's a
virtuous travel to travel to the masjid
of the prophetat
and also when they would use them as a
was by their status and their dua to
Allah subhana wa ta'ala or swearing by
them which is a a minor shik as we know
uh things like this. So as we know and
when we talked about al- khalif if
someone swears by an individual
and he believes that he exalted him and
he believes that he brings benefit or
harm or so then this is a major shik of
course and one of the very apparent ones
is their in their graves. the issue of
the graves and the grave worshippers.
This is something that many of the
people that have been afflicted with
this ignorance that we would see in many
parts of the world where people have
this
and extremism when it comes to the
graves of the righteous ones which is as
simple as it shows that it's not from
the dean of alam where is that in the
dean of Allah where is that in the Quran
where is that in the sunnah of the
prophetat wasam so building the graves
when the prophetat wasallam forbid that
building on top of it where the prophet
Wasam himself cursed the ones that do
such a thing and adorn it and things
like this and to stay there. Some people
they go and they sit next to the grave
of a righteous one and they say this is
a blessed spot. So they would make the
they don't call upon the dead. They
don't ask them for anything. They don't
even make dua. They just they want to
sit there to feel comfortable. This is
not from the way the prophetat wasallam.
This is all things can lead easily to
the shik and associating partners with
Allah
and all of that is by giving so much
attention to these things and the graves
and so on. Many of the companions
we do not even know their graves
and they would die on on their way
traveling and they would be buried right
there. But when people saw they would
give so much attentions to spots and
graves and things like this and then
they make mids by the grave of so and so
and things like this. So then it leads
them to idol worshiing which is grave
worshiing worshiing the graves besides
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So this is
all as a result of this with this
extremism. uh when a person again it
goes back to the very basics of our
religion when we say we have to be
strictly following the Quran and the
sunnah of the prophetatam
the way it was practiced at the time of
the prophetat wasam and the early
generations of al- Islam that protects
the person from these innovations that
happened later which one of which is
which is one of the ways of continue
inshall next time with talking about the
objective what's the proper way when it
comes to visiting ing the graves
according to the sunnah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
