The Shaykh : He said: "The chapter on whoever perfects the oneness of Allah enters Paradise without reckoning"
This is, in reality, a completion of the previous chapter, because he said in the chapter before it: "The chapter on the virtue of the oneness of Allah and what it expiates of sins". Among its virtues is this great virtue, which every rational person strives for, namely entering Paradise, especially if it is without reckoning. Yes, O Allah, make us among those who enter Paradise without reckoning. He said, "enters Paradise without reckoning," meaning he is not reckoned, neither for sins nor for anything else. Yes. And his saying: "enters" is the answer to "whoever," and his saying: "perfects" is the condition; whoever perfects the oneness of Allah enters Paradise. However, perfecting it means purifying the oneness of Allah from shirk (associating partners with Allah), purifying the oneness of Allah from shirk. But it is not perfected except through three things: knowledge, belief, and submission. It is not perfected except with these three things. Knowledge, and it is not possible to realize... this is from conceptualizing the thing, and that is through knowledge of it. The second is belief; you must believe if you have known and become arrogant... here. And you must also submit; if you have known and believed but have not submitted, what is the benefit? Allah the Exalted said regarding these three things: This is knowledge, knowledge of the oneness of Allah, and no one can realize anything without knowledge. And He the Exalted said regarding belief: So they did not believe in what they believed, the exclusivity of Allah the Exalted in oneness of worship. And He said regarding those who did not submit: [As-Saffat 37:35-36] So it is necessary, it is necessary to perfect the oneness of Allah through these three things. Say them.
The student: Knowledge, belief, and submission.
The Shaykh : Yes, if this is achieved and completed, then the person is guaranteed, yes, entry into Paradise without reckoning. He is guaranteed entry into Paradise without reckoning.
The Student: ... O Shaykh
The Shaykh : No, we do not say "you will enter..." because we have been informed by the Messenger... the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of this. But for a specific man, we say "if Allah wills"... we do not say "if Allah wills" regarding the ruling, for this is a ruling established by the Shari'ah. Yes. Now, where does the document come from? Here.
The student: From Allah.
The Shaykh : The document is from Allah, and the intermediary is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who informed us. Yes. So the author mentioned things that confirm what he said, may Allah have mercy on him, among them is the saying of Allah the Exalted regarding Ibrahim:

So know that there is no deity except Allah.
فاعلم أنه لا إله إلا اللهShall I make the gods one God? This is indeed something astonishing.
أجعل الألهة إلهاً واحدا إن هذا لشيء عجاب(35) Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant (36) And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
إنهم كانوا إذا قيل لهم لا إله إلا الله يستكبرون ويقولون أئنا لتاركوا ألهتنا لشاعر مجنونThe student: Knowledge, belief, and submission.
