The reader: "Chapter: On exposing their lies and their accusation of the people of truth that they are like the Khawarij, and on clarifying their established resemblance to the Khawarij"
The Shaykh : Clarifying their established resemblance
The reader: And clarifying their resemblances
The Shaykh : Their resemblances
The reader: "And clarifying their established resemblance to the Khawarij"
"And among the wonders is that they said to the one *** who has embraced the Athar and the Qur'an
You are by this like the Khawarij; they *** took the apparent meanings and did not find the meanings
So look at this slander; this is their description *** they attributed it to the followers of faith
They drew against the Sunnah of the Messenger and his party *** two swords: the sword of the hand and the sword of the tongue
They rebelled against them just as those before them rebelled *** with tyranny and aggression
By Allah, the Khawarij were not like this *** and they are the tyrants, the leaders of tyranny
You declared the companions of his Sunnah disbelievers, and they *** are open sinners of his religion, so who will rebuke me?
If I say they are better and more guided than you *** by Allah, the two groups are not equal
How vast is the difference between one who declares disbeliever by the Sunnah *** the exalted, and one who declares disbeliever by disobedience
You said we interpreted, and so did they interpret *** and both are two groups of aggressors
And you have over them the distinction of denial of attributes, *** distortion, alteration, and slander
And they have over you the distinction of affirming attributes *** and believing, along with fear of the Most Merciful
Do you have two rewards for your interpretation, while *** they have two burdens for their interpretation?
May the Messenger of Allah be far removed from this judgment, rather *** you and they are equal in his judgment
And both of you are contrary to the text, and this *** is the difference between you two
They contradicted a text with a text like it, *** they did not understand reconciliation through excellence
But you contradicted the stated text *** for the doubts which are the ideas of the minds
So for what reason are you better and closer *** to the truth and faith than they are?
They preferred the meaning of the word *** of the Book over the hadith that necessitates clarification
But you preferred the opinion of the *** over them, are you two equal?"
The Shaykh : Are you two, in your view, equal? The apparent is valid considering the group
The reader: "But you preferred the opinion of the *** over them, are you two equal?
Or are they closer to Islam than you? *** The morning has dawned for one who has two eyes
And Allah will judge between you on the Day of Recompense *** with justice, fairness, and the balance
This is us, and from them, rather from you, *** we are disavowed, except for guidance and clarification
So listen then to the words of the Khawarij, then to the words *** of our opponents, and judge without bias
Who of us is then like them? *** If you have knowledge and recognition
The Khawarij said to the Messenger, "Be just," so he did not *** be just, and who is the divider of the Divine?
And so the Jahmi said the same, *** but he increased in tyranny
He said the correct is that He took possession, so I said, *** He rose above and deviated from clarification
And so He descends, His command, Exalted is He, *** why did you say the Lord of Forgiveness descends?
What is the justice in the expression, and it is *** intended as movement and change of place?
And so you said that your Lord is in the heavens, *** you implied a space for the Creator of the worlds
The correct was to say that He is *** above the heavens, the Sovereign of the Sovereign
And so you said to Him the angels ascend, and the correct is" to Him is a favor
The Shaykh : To a favor
The reader: A favor
The Shaykh : And the correct is to a favor
The reader: "And so you said to Him the angels ascend, and the correct is" to Him is a favor
The Shaykh : To a favor
The reader: And the correct is to a favor
The Shaykh : To a favor, there is no "ha" in it, and the correct is to a favor
The reader: "And so you said to Him the angels ascend, and the correct is *** to the favor of our Lord, the Bestower"
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "And so you said to Him the angels ascend, and the correct is *** to the favor of our Lord, the Bestower
And so you said that from Him descends the Qur'an, *** a descent from the Most Merciful
The correct was to say that its descent *** is from His Tablet, or from a second place
And you say, "Where is Allah?" and "where" is *** impossible for Him, and it is not in the possible".
The Shaykh : The one with me
"And you say, 'Where is Allah?' that 'where' is *** impossible for Him, and it is not in the possible"
The student: Correct...
The Shaykh : ... or the voices mixed
"And you say, 'Where is Allah?' that 'where'".
The reader: That was with me, but corrected
The Shaykh : Strange, no, that 'where'
The reader: "And you say, 'Where is Allah?' that 'where' is *** impossible for Him, and it is not in the possible
If you said, "Who is the correct one, as you see? *** In the grave, that is asked by the two angels
And you say, 'O Allah, You are the Witness, the *** Highest,' pointing with a finger and a nail
Toward the sky, and our pointing to Him is *** not sensory, but that is in the minds
By Allah, we do not know what we are showing *** in this of interpretation to the brothers
We said to them, "The heavens are the qiblah of the *** prayers, like the House of Allah with its pillars
They said to us, "This is proof that He is *** above the sky with the clearest proof
So the people, all of them, only call upon Him *** from above this, the fitrah of the Most Merciful"
The Shaykh : From above...
The reader: "So the people, all of them, only call upon Him *** from above this, the fitrah of the Most Merciful
They do not ask for the upper qiblah, but *** they ask for the Lord of excellence
They said, "And was his pointing not to *** the Witness, the place of the Criterion?
Do you think he became a witness to the sky? *** May he be far removed from the distortion of the slanderer".
