Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And thus we affirm that they also called *** for the five, which are the foundations of faith"
And they are
"Our faith in Allah, then in His messengers *** and in His books and the resurrection of the bodies"
"And in His hosts, who are the angels, those *** who are His messengers for the affairs of the worlds"
These are five what?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Five foundations of faith, but someone might say that Ibn al-Qayyim was deficient because he did not mention the sixth foundation, which is faith
The student: With the decree
The Shaykh : in the divine decree. So what do we answer?
The student: He mentioned it.
The Shaykh : He mentioned it before; the meaning is that we recite it but we do not understand it. Yes, he mentioned it before, may Allah have mercy on him. Yes, no.
"And thus we affirm that they came with the estab *** lishment of the divine decree"
Clear. "With the estab *** lishment of the divine decree"
But he limited it to these five to refute the five foundations of the Mu'tazilah, so five against five. Yes, for this reason he said, may Allah have mercy on him:
"These are the true principles of religion, not the prin *** ciples of the five for al-Qadi al-Hamadhani"
"Those principles are for the Mu'tazilah, and how many *** branches they have, from which is the creation of the Qur'an"
The principles of the Mu'tazilah are five with them. Five. The first is tawhid, the oneness of Allah. Tawhid. They said this.
And they are
"Our faith in Allah, then in His messengers *** and in His books and the resurrection of the bodies"
"And in His hosts, who are the angels, those *** who are His messengers for the affairs of the worlds"
