Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The fifteenth: Knowing the exclusivity of 'Isa in being the Word of Allah" This supports the second aspect, meaning that 'Isa (peace be upon him) is distinguished from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) by the origin of his creation, in that 'Isa was created by a Word, whereas Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from the water of his father. Clear and good.
The seventeenth: Knowing that he is a Spirit from Him
The student: The sixteenth
The Shaykh : The sixteenth, yes.
"The sixteenth: Knowing that he is a Spirit from Him" From whom is the Spirit from?
The student: 'Isa
The Shaykh : 'Isa, right? Good. A Spirit from Allah. Is the "from" (min) for partiality?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, but what is it?
The student: Explanatory
The Shaykh : Or initial, meaning a Spirit that came from Allah, and is not a part of Allah, but is among the created spirits. The rule regarding this matter has been mentioned to us previously in what is attributed to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
"The seventeenth: Knowing the virtue of faith in Paradise and the Fire" This is taken from the hadith of 'UbadahAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:1515 and the virtue is that it causes entry into Paradise.
"The eighteenth: Knowing his statement: regarding what was of the deed" Where is this from?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And it is the truth...
The Shaykh : Does "regarding what was of the deed" mean a good deed, even if it is little? Or does it mean a bad deed, even if it is much?
The student: ...
The student: Both.
The Shaykh : Both, both. It is necessary to have a deed, it is necessary to have a deed, it is necessary to have a deed, because there is no key without teeth.
The student: And this is not sufficient for entering Paradise.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is if we say "regarding what was of a good deed, even if it is little."
The student: If there is no deed.
The Shaykh : He does not enter Paradise because he did not speak the truth in saying "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah).
The student: Good, Shaykh, the reference to the pillars of Islam.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: He referred to the pillars of Islam.
The Shaykh : The reference to a good deed, even if it is little... It is necessary to complete the good deed, as the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij said. And likewise, regarding "what was of the deed" in relation to sins, in relation to the sins he commits, we do not say that they nullify tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and necessitate entry into the Fire.
The student: The pillars of Islam here...
The Shaykh : He did not mention them, but among the pillars of Islam, some lead to disbelief and some do not. The pillar of Islam that leads to disbelief, other than the two testimonies, is only the prayer. This is the correct view, even though there is a narration from Imam Ahmad that all pillars of Islam lead to disbelief if abandoned, but the correct view is the opposite. Good.
