(Discussion of the second category of the ignorant, who are unable to reach the truth despite having strong faith and good intentions, and who are also of two types) and the others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) previously stated that the ignorant are divided into two categories. He spoke about the first category, and now he is speaking about the second category, saying:
"And the others are those who are unable to reach the truth, with intention and with faith"
Meaning: The second type or second category of the ignorant is a type who are unable to reach the truth, even though their intention is good and their faith is strong, but they are unable to arrive at the truth. So he says, may Allah have mercy on him:
"And with faith
in Allah, then His Messenger, and meeting Him. And if you distinguish them, they are of two types"
Meaning: These people who have ignorance but are unable to reach the truth are also of two types, meaning two kinds.
