The Shaykh : He said: " Chapter: And we believe that Allah the Exalted sent to His creation messengers ".
We believe in this, that Allah did not create [them] in vain, but rather He sent messengers to them.
"[Al-Baqarah 2:213] " Bringing good news of what? Of the reward for those who obey, and warning of the punishment for those who disobey.
"[An-Nisa 4:165] ".
This contains a refutation of the Jabriyyah, who say that a person is compelled in his actions, because if a person were compelled in his actions, he would have an argument [against Allah] whether messengers were sent to him or not, but the sending of messengers cuts off the argument.
It also contains a refutation of those who said: There is no excuse for ignorance, because Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:165] The implication is: Were it not for the messengers, people would have had an argument against Allah, because they were ignorant. So the correct view, in which there is no doubt, and which the evidence indicates, is that a person is excused by ignorance. Then, if he claims to be a Muslim in what he does, he is a Muslim; and if he does what constitutes disbelief when the argument has been established, [he is a disbeliever]; and if he does not claim to be a Muslim, he is a disbeliever. But if the argument did not reach him, the stronger opinion is that he will be tested on the Day of Resurrection by what Allah Mighty and Majestic wills, and then either to Paradise or to the Fire. The point is His saying: [An-Nisa 4:165].
And He the Exalted said, yes, " And He the Exalted said:[Fatir 35:24] .
We believe in this, that Allah did not create [them] in vain, but rather He sent messengers to them.
"
bringers of good tidings and warners
مبشرين و منذرين"
so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.
لئلا يكون للناس على الله حجة بعد الرسل وكان الله عزيزا حكيماThis contains a refutation of the Jabriyyah, who say that a person is compelled in his actions, because if a person were compelled in his actions, he would have an argument [against Allah] whether messengers were sent to him or not, but the sending of messengers cuts off the argument.
It also contains a refutation of those who said: There is no excuse for ignorance, because Allah the Exalted said:
[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers
