Explanation of the author's statement: The saying of Allah the Exalted: "And they disbelieve in al-Rahman (the Most Merciful)"

The Shaykh : He said: And the saying of Allah the Exalted "And they," meaning the disbelievers of Quraysh, "disbelieve in al-Rahman." The intended meaning of this name is not Allah Himself, meaning not the one named al-Rahman. They acknowledge the one named al-Rahman. In the hadith of Suhayl ibn 'Amr, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to write the treaty, he said, "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy." He said, "As for al-Rahman and al-Rahim, by Allah, I do not know what they are." He said, "I do not know what they are," and he refused to write "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy," so it was written, "In Your name, O Allah." So they disbelieve in al-Rahman, meaning this name, not the one named by it. As for the one named by it, they believe in Him. This is one of the examples where the name is intended, not the named entity. This is one of the examples because it has passed us that a name may be intended to mean the named entity, or it may be intended to mean the words indicating it.
Allah the Exalted said: "Say: He is my Lord." The pronoun "He" refers to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), meaning this one whom you denied is my Lord. and so on. And in His saying: along with His saying: is evidence that whoever denies one of the names of Allah is a disbeliever. Meaning He said: "They deny it," then He said: "This is tawhid (the oneness of Allah)." This is the point of the author's citing this verse as evidence, for it indicates that whoever denies one of the names of Allah is a disbeliever. "Upon Him I rely, and to Him I turn." From where did we take "alone"? From the fronting of the object. Fronting the object indicates restriction. For example, if you say, "I struck Zayd," it indicates that you struck him, but does it indicate that you did not strike anyone else? No. But if you say, "Zayd I struck," it indicates that you struck him and did not strike anyone else. So if you front what is properly delayed, that indicates restriction. Anything whose proper place is delayed, if it is fronted, means restriction. Yes.
"There is no god but He" means there is no true object of worship but Allah. As for what is worshipped falsely, there is much of it, but it is false. And on this basis, the predicate of the negating "la" (which negates the genus) is omitted. The implied meaning is: "There is no true god," "There is no true god but Allah." "To Him" means to Allah "I turn." Its original form is "mutabi" with a yaa, so the yaa was deleted for ease of pronunciation. And "mutab" here means repentance. It is a verbal noun with a prefixed mīm, meaning: "And to Him is my repentance." And repentance is returning to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) from disobedience to obedience. What are the conditions of repentance? How many are its conditions? The student?
The student: Three.

The Shaykh : Three. What are they?
The student: The first is that one feels remorse for what he did, and the second is...

The Shaykh : So the conditions of repentance are five: Sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such that a person is not driven to repentance by considering anyone else or pleasing them. The second: That it be in the time when it is accepted, which is before the sun rises from the west or before the onset of death. The third: Remorse for what has passed of his actions. The fourth: Abandoning it. The fifth: Resolving not to return to it. Yes.
So means that the repentance which is the repentance of worship is not for anyone but Allah. As for the repentance which means returning, it may be to someone else. From this is the saying of 'A'ishah when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and stood at the door and did not enter. She said: So the repentance intended here is not the worship of repentance. Why? Because the repentance of worship is not for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or anyone else, but for Allah alone. But this is a repentance of returning. From this is that if a person strikes his son...
