Commentary on Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim-06b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Also, what Muslim narrated in *his Sahih* from Nafi' ibn Jubayr ibn Muttam from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6882 .
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that"
The Shaykh : You have the seeker
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : I have the baa before the alif, so let it be
The reader: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the most hated of people to Allah are these three, and that is because corruption is either in religion or in worldly affairs. The greatest corruption in worldly affairs is killing souls without right, and for this reason, the greatest of the major sins"
The Shaykh : Greater
The reader: "And for this reason, the greatest of the major sins is after the greatest corruption of religion, which is disbelief. As for the corruption of religion, it is of two types: a type related to the deed, and a type related to the place of the deed.
As for what is related to the deed, it is seeking a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. As for what is related to the place of the deed, it is deviating in the Sacred Precinct, because the greatest of the places of deeds is the Sacred Precinct, and violating the sanctity of the spatial place is greater than violating the sanctity of the temporal place. For this reason, what is forbidden from consuming permissible things and from hunting and plants in the Sacred Land" .
The Shaykh : From hunting without a waw.
The reader: Should I delete it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: Should I delete it?
The Shaykh : No, it is not a correction manuscript.
The reader: "For this reason, what is forbidden from consuming permissible things and from hunting and plants in the Sacred Land is not forbidden in the Sacred Month.
For this reason, the correct view is that the prohibition of fighting in the Sacred Land remains, as indicated by the authentic texts, unlike the Sacred Month. Therefore, Allah knows best, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned deviating in the Sacred Precinct and seeking a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
The point is that among these three is the one who seeks in Islam a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Whether one says: follower, or seeker, seeking is the request and the desire. So whoever desires in Islam to act upon something of the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance falls under the hadith" .
The Shaykh : So whoever desires.
The reader: "So whoever desires in Islam to act upon something of the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance falls under the hadith" .
The Shaykh : We have something. Something, something, it is not difficult for me. I have "So whoever desires in Islam to act upon something" that I have is extra. Whoever desires in Islam a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, ha ha.
The student: It is missing
The Shaykh : Missing... .
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Seeking is the sought, yes.
The reader: "And the custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance is every habit they were upon, for a custom is a habit and it is the path that is repeated" .
The Shaykh : And it is the way
The reader: The way?
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: Shall we correct it?
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The reader: "For a custom is a habit and it is the way that is repeated for a type of people, whether they consider it worship or not. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:137] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7320 Following is tracking and imitating. So whoever acts upon something of their customs has followed a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. This is a general text that obligates the prohibition of following anything of the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance" .
The Shaykh : Was, "Everything that was" .
The reader: In something.
The Shaykh : The apparent manuscript, did it not point to it?
The reader: No
The Shaykh : Manuscript
The reader: "So whoever acts upon something of their customs has followed a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. This is a general text that obligates the prohibition of following what was of the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, in their festivals and other than their festivals. The word 'pre-Islamic age of ignorance' can be a name for the state, which is the common usage in the Book and the Sunnah, and it can be a name for the one in that state.
From the first is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Abu Dharr:Sahih Muslim 1661c .
And the saying of 'Umar:Sahih Muslim 1656a And the saying of Aisha: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:1421 "
The Shaykh : Was
The reader: Marriage in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:1421 And their saying: O Messenger of Allah, we were in a pre-Islamic age of ignorance and evil, meaning in a state of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, or a way of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, or a custom of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and the like of that.
The Shaykh : Although *jahiliyyah* (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance) is originally a description, its usage has become so dominant that it has become a proper noun, and its meaning is close to the meaning of the verbal noun. As for the second, you say "a *jahiliyyah* group" or "a *jahiliyyah* poet," which is an attribution to ignorance, which is the absence of knowledge, or the absence of following knowledge. For whoever does not know the truth, he is ignorant in a simple sense. If he believes the opposite, he is ignorant in a compound sense. If he says the opposite of the truth while knowing the truth, or not knowing it, he is also ignorant, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Furqan 25:63] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2363Sahih (Al-Albani).
The Shaykh : From this is the saying of some of the Arab poets:
The Shaykh : "Let no one be ignorant toward us, *** For we will be more ignorant than the ignorance of the ignorant ones."
This is common, and likewise, whoever acts contrary to the truth is ignorant.
The Shaykh : without
The reader: Listen
The Shaykh : without right
The student : contrary to
The Shaykh : contrary to, a copy
The student : so he does not speak indecently, nor commit open sin, nor be ignorant
The Shaykh : so he does not speak indecently, nor be ignorant
The student : I have: so he does not speak indecently, nor commit open sin
The reader : He referred to it
The Shaykh : Did he point to it?
The reader : In the printed edition it says: "so he does not speak indecently, nor commit open sin, nor be ignorant," with the addition of "nor commit open sin," but it is not in Muslim or al-Bukhari, nor in Abu Dawud.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The reader : "And this is common. Likewise, whoever acts contrary to the truth is ignorant, even if he knows that he is contradicting the truth, as Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:17]. The Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ".
The Shaykh : In our version, it is ignorance
The student : he is ignorant
The Shaykh : What did he refer to?
The student : What did he refer to.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The reader : "And the reason for this is that true knowledge, firmly established in the heart, prevents any speech or action that contradicts it from occurring. So whenever something contrary to it occurs, it must be due to the heart's negligence regarding it, or its weakness in the heart due to the opposition of what contradicts it. And these are states that contradict the reality of knowledge, so it becomes ignorance in this regard."
The Shaykh : And these are states, in your view, like this?
The reader : And these are states
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader : "And these are states that contradict the reality of knowledge, so it becomes ignorance in this regard. And from here you know the inclusion of actions in..."
The Shaykh : Is the speech understood? The speech in this? Ignorance is intended to mean the absence of knowledge, and it is intended to mean the absence of following knowledge. The first is simple, and the second is compound. And from the second is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:17] It is not intended to mean the absence of knowledge, because if the intention were the absence of knowledge, they would not have a sin, as they would be excused by ignorance. But what is intended is what? The absence of following knowledge, since they did evil while knowing that it was evil. Yes.
The most hated persons to Allah are three: (1) A person who deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in the Haram (sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina); (2) a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, should remain in Islam (3) and a person who seeks to shed somebody's blood without any right.
أبغض الناس إلى الله ثلاثة : ملحد في الحرم ، ومبتغ في الإسلام سنة جاهلية ، ومطلب دم امرئ مسلم بغير حق ليريق دمهThe Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that"
The Shaykh : You have the seeker

The reader: "For a custom is a habit and it is the way that is repeated for a type of people, whether they consider it worship or not. Allah the Exalted said:
Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth
قد خلت من قبلكم سننٌ فسيروا في الأرضYou will follow the ways of those nations who were before you
لتتبعُن سنن من كان قبلكمThe Shaykh : Was, "Everything that was" .

From the first is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Abu Dharr:
You are a person who has (remnants of) Ignorance in him
إنك امرؤ فيك جاهليةAnd the saying of 'Umar:
I had taken a vow during the days of Ignorance (Jahiliyya) that I would observe I'tikaf for a night
إني نذرت في الجاهلية أن أعتكف ليلةMarriage in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance was of four types
كان النكاح في الجاهلية على أربعة أنحاءThe Shaykh : Was
The reader: Marriage in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "
Marriage in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance was of four types

وإذا خاطبهم الجاهلون قالوا سلامًاwhen one of you is fasting, he should neither behave in an obscene manner nor foolishly
إذا كان أحدكم صائما فلا يرفث، ولا يجهلThe Shaykh : From this is the saying of some of the Arab poets:
