Explaining the Beneficial Knowledge in This World and the Hereafter, with a Warning Against the Qadiyan Sect.

The Shaykh : Briefly, and perhaps I have spoken longer than the questioner intended with his brief question, I say, may Allah have mercy on Ibn al-Qayyim, who said:
"Knowledge is: Allah said, His Messenger said *** The Companions said; it is not deception
What knowledge has placed you in the foolishness of disagreement *** between the Messenger and the opinion of a jurist?
No, and do not deny the attributes or negate them *** out of fear of denial of the divine attributes or likening Allah to creation.
This is knowledge: Allah said, the Messenger of Allah said, the Companions said. Today, all the Islamic sects take from this speech two things: "Allah said" and "the Messenger of Allah said." But they twist and turn around what Allah said and what the Messenger of Allah said, and they come to you with a school of thought for which Allah has not sent down any authority. An example of that is the new sect, which is the Qadiyan, who are called the Ahmadis. These are the latest of the Islamic sects that have an entity, rituals, a presence, and a widespread call in European and American countries in the name of Islam. These are Muslims who pray the five daily prayers and perform Hajj to the House of Allah, but they deny established legal realities that are explicitly stated in the Book and the Sunnah, which no one before them, not even the Mu'tazilah, the Maturidiyyah, or the Asha'irah, had denied. For example, they deny that there is a creation called the jinn, even though there is a surah in the Qur'an named Surat al-Jinn. Do they deny the Qur'an and deny the surah? No, but they tell us that you did not understand the meaning of the jinn. The jinn are like the humans and the people. Do these two terms, "humans" and "people," indicate one referent or two referents?

The questioner : One referent.

The Shaykh : One referent. They brought a third referent. "Humans," "people," and "jinn" are three names applied to one referent, which is the people. When you bring them a verse from the Qur'an, , they tell you this is not real fire and not real clay, but rather it is metaphorical. And when you bring them an authentic hadith in Muslim, , they tell you this is an ahad hadith, a hadith that is not mass-transmitted, meaning that an ahad hadith does not establish a creed. This is an indication, and it is that an ahad hadith does not establish a creed. Unfortunately, this is not a Qadiyan school of thought; the Qadiyan preceded this misguidance by centuries, but they did not precede the interpretation of the jinn as being the humans or the people. Al-Azhar al-Sharif, the one they call al-Sharif, now decides for the students whom they distribute throughout the Islamic world for the call to Islam that an authentic hadith is not used as evidence in creed unless it is mass-transmitted. What does mass-transmitted mean? It means it comes from many paths, meaning its narrators are ten from the Companions and ten from the Tabi'un from ten from the Companions, and so on. In any case, I wanted to be brief, but as they say, the hadith has many threads.
Another questioner: What do they benefit from denial of the divine attributes?

The Shaykh : I did not understand.
Another questioner: What do they benefit from denial of the divine attributes?

The Shaykh : Following desires; they rule by their minds, they do not rule by their Shari'ah.
Another questioner: .

The Shaykh : Yes.
