Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And we believe that his Shari'ah is the religion of Islam which Allah the Exalted has chosen for His servants" and that Allah does not accept from anyone a religion other than it, due to His saying the Exalted:
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam إن الدين عند الله الإسلام
[Ali 'Imran 3:19]
". This verse is restrictive (hasr) because of the definiteness of its two pillars. Where are the two pillars? The religion (al-din) and Islam, both are definite. And when the two pillars of the sentence are definite, it becomes indicative of restriction. So the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.
And he said: "
This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
".
I have perfected for you your religion أكملت لكم دينكم
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
Meaning He made it complete, and the meaning is not that I sealed it, because verses have come down after this verse.
" And He the Exalted said:
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. ومن يبتغ غير الإسلام دينا فلن يقبل منه وهو في الآخرة من الخاسرين
[Ali 'Imran 3:85]
".
whoever seeks من يبتغ
Meaning he seeks
other than Islam as religion غير الإسلام دينا
[Ali 'Imran 3:85]
to worship Allah with
never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. فلن يقبل منه وهو في الآخرة من الخاسرين
[Ali 'Imran 3:85]
. What hadiths bear witness to this verse? The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected. من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
Sahih Muslim 1718b
