A Summary of the Previous Discussion on the Meaning of Taghut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
We have previously mentioned that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) committed a taghut (tyranny) by which they transgressed against the people of the Sunnah and the community and overreached against the texts. This taghut is the body and tajsim (ascribing a body to Allah). They made it like a ghoul in the eyes of children, before the general public. And they said, in order to discredit the affirmers, that they are mujassimah (those who ascribe a body to Allah). They say this before the general public, who assume that this term means that Allah the Exalted is similar to creation. The author clarified that this is an error.
