Explanation of the author's statement: ". . . . Al-Ilhad: In language, al-Ilhad means deviation.

The Shaykh : Then the author said: "Al-Ilhad, in language, al-Ilhad means deviation". Alhad means to deviate. In technical usage, "it means deviating from what is obligatory to believe or do" ... In language, al-Ilhad means deviation. They said that this is the origin of the term in tangible matters, al-lahd, because it is dug on the side of the grave, not in the middle. Is that not so? And the middle one is called what? It is called a shaft. He said, "In technical usage, it means deviating from what is obligatory to believe or do". This is the case. So the open sinner is considered one who commits al-Ilhad, the one who prostrates to an idol is considered one who commits al-Ilhad, and the one who believes in Allah what is not permissible is considered one who commits al-Ilhad. For this reason, we said "from what is obligatory to believe," and this relates to the actions of the hearts. Or "or do," which relates to the affirmation of the hearts or the actions of the limbs and the actions of the hearts.
"And it is of two types: the first is in the names of Allah, and the second is in the verses of Allah". The evidence for this classification is the statement of Allah the Exalted: . Thus, Allah the Exalted mentioned al-Ilhad in the names. As for the verses, He said: . In these two verses, it becomes clear that al-Ilhad occurs in the names of Allah and also in His verses.
