The Meaning of the Poet's Words: "And I affirm that Allah, Exalted is His Majesty, *** is He alone the Creator of the worlds, and I affirm that His Messenger truly came *** from Him with the revelation and the Qur'an"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And I affirm that Allah, Exalted is His Majesty, *** is He alone the Creator of the worlds" Al-Bari means the Creator. This is the correct meaning.
The student: Al-Bari.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct, better than al-Badi.
"*** is He alone the Creator of the worlds
And I affirm that His Messenger truly came *** from Him with the revelation and the Qur'an
So you are truly a believer, and all of this *** is a sin upon you, not disbelief"
I seek refuge in Allah! Look at what the doctrine of the Murji'ah has become now, and what it has led us to? It has led us to believe that you only need to affirm the existence of Allah and then do whatever you please. So if someone says: "I am a believer in Allah as the Lord, the Creator of creation, and the Creator (al-Bari')," and then he does what the author mentioned: he took the Qur'ans and threw them in the bushes, yes, or he went to the Ka'bah and destroyed it, or he went to every monotheist and killed him, or he rubbed himself against the crosses and crucifixes, and so on as the author said, then in their view he is a believer with perfect faith. This is the doctrine of the Murji'ah of the Jahmiyyah: faith is merely affirming the existence of Allah, and as for the rest, do whatever you please. Now, if you insult Allah, there is no obstacle in their view; you can insult Allah as long as you believe He exists. As for the Messengers, insult them, say whatever you want about them, but believe that they are Messengers from Allah, that is all. Therefore:
"And I affirm that His Messenger truly came *** from Him with the revelation and the Qur'an
So you are truly a believer, and all of this *** is a sin upon you"
All these actions are sins, but they are not disbelief, because you are a believer with perfect faith.
"This is the doctrine of the Murji'ah according to their extremists *** from every Jahmi, my brother Satan
So add to the two Jims"
What is missing from the two Jims? Compulsion (jabr) and the doctrine of the Murji'ah (irja').
