Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says at the beginning of today's lesson: "And these are the materialists from the Isma'ilis and the Batiniyyah and the like of them".
And they, as the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said, are more disbelieving than the Jews and the Christians, because the Jews and the Christians believe in Allah and the Last Day, even though this faith does not benefit them because they are disbelievers regarding Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But the Isma'ilis, the Batiniyyah, and those who resemble them, these are materialists to the utmost degree of materialism. He says: "And the falsity of the statement of these people is known by the necessity of sense, reason, and the Shari'ah".
And what is meant by the necessity of sense? Necessity is that which compels a person to believe in it.
