Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We hear you often talking about purification and nurturing.
The Shaykh : That is correct.
The questioner : Clarifying the meaning of purification and nurturing.
The Shaykh : Now, between meetings... Purification is a concise term that means Muslim scholars in every land of Islam must fulfill the obligation of purifying Islam from what is alien to it, purifying the creeds from the deviations that have entered them.
The student : My master, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : In the name of following a school of jurisprudence, and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
The student : Our dear Shaykh, in three or four human situations, they want to see Shaykh Adnan al-Arour.
The Shaykh : I understand, my brother. Purifying the creed is the first thing.
The student : My master...
The Shaykh : I understand, my brother, may Allah bless you. Purifying Islamic jurisprudence from the speculative rulings that have entered it, which contradict the Prophetic Sunnah. Clear? Understood? That is enough, my brother, we have understood.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, leave it.
The student : Leave it, and add to it.
The Shaykh : All right, and likewise purifying the Sunnah from weak and fabricated hadiths. In summary, everything that has entered Islam requires returning Islam to its original purity, because this purified Islam, as Allah revealed it to the heart of Muhammad (peace be upon him), is what sound innate dispositions accept. As for what has entered it, this foreign element in Islam is like a treatment or medicine issued by a specialized, skilled, and Muslim doctor, and then strange things not belonging to it were added to this medicine. Does this medicine yield its fruit? The answer is no. And to Allah belongs the highest example.[Al-'Ankabut 29:43] Islam is a healing for what is in the chests, as in the Noble Qur'an. Therefore, for it to yield the first fruit that Islam bore in the Companions of the Messenger (peace be upon him), who lived in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, Islam must return to its original purity. Thus, purifying Islam is extremely necessary so that people will accept it. The other word is nurturing, meaning it is not enough to understand Islam correctly and then not act upon it; rather, we must nurture ourselves, our relatives, and our families upon it. At that time, the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah. Perhaps the intended meaning has become clear to you.
