Clarification of the Formula for Disavowing Taghut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify the formula for disavowing taghut. Is it necessary to use the word "disbelief" for it?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:256] Tāghūt is everything worshipped other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Tāghūt is everything worshipped other than Allah; it is a tāghūt. If it is pleased with the worship, it is a tāghūt, and if it is not pleased, the tāghūt is Shaytan, who commanded it. So worshipping other than Allah is worshipping a tāghūt. One disavows the tāghūt and believes in Allah. This is the meaning of the statement "There is no god but Allah": "There is no god" is disavowing the tāghūt, and "but Allah" is belief in Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
