Giving examples of people's states regarding the adjudication of the Shari'ah in terms of satisfaction and submission, and explaining their ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Let us give an example for this. Let us give an example: a man who did not resort to the Shari'ah for judgment, but rather resorted to the law, and did not accept the Shari'ah at all. He did not go to the Shari'ah. Is this man a believer?
The student: On the contrary.
The Shaykh : He is not a believer. The second example is a man who resorted to the Shari'ah, and the Shari'ah ruled against him, so he has no choice but to carry out the ruling, but he does so with difficulty, distress, tightness, and aversion. Is this man also...
The student: He is not a believer.
The Shaykh : He is not a believer, but he is less severe than the first. The third example is a man who resorted to the Shari'ah and his chest opened up to it, but he started to delay. He delays. He did not submit with complete submission. This man is also not a believer, but he is less severe than the second. Less severe than the second. There must be three things in adjudication: satisfaction, the opening of the chest, and complete submission. Complete submission.
Now, there is also another man who had a wet dream on a cold night. He had a wet dream on a cold night and he did not have anything to warm the water with, but he could use cold water with some hardship. He said, "There is no need for that today. It is cold." Is this the ruling of the Shari'ah or not? No. He is not a believer.
The second man had a wet dream on the cold night and he performed the full ritual bath, but he did so with aversion. You find that he dislikes the religion or this obligatory act in the religion. This man also did not believe. He is not a believer, even though he carried it out and performed the full ritual bath. The third man was satisfied and submitted to performing the full ritual bath, but he started to delay and procrastinate until the time passed. This man is also not a believer because he did not submit with complete submission. So, search your soul now: do you, in all your acts of worship and transactions, adjudicate by the Shari'ah, does your chest open up to it, and do you submit with complete submission? If that is the case, then you are a happy believer. And if there are obstacles, then rectify your affairs, for you are not a believer. It is necessary that there be complete submission, satisfaction, and submission. As for the one who fasts Ramadan, he fasts Ramadan and does not delay, but he does so with great heaviness and aversion. And perhaps we ask Allah for well-being. Is this not a believer? No, rather he must submit and fast with an open chest and complete fasting according to what he is commanded to do, so that his faith is thereby complete. Yes.
