Muslims Till Death:
AS AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU. LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS π. *AQEEDAH AT-TAWHEED (Episode 40)*___*PAGE 1*___. ✍️...
*I (i.e., Shaikh Saleh al-Fawzan) say,* 'this is just like what the extremist Sufis believe that they reach a stage (through their piety), where they are not in need of following the Messenger (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam).
*▫️. Turning away from the Religion of Allah, neither learning it nor acting upon it*. The proof is the Saying of Allah, *'But those who disbelieve, turn away from that whereof they are warned.'* [(46): 3].

*’And who does more wrong than he, who is reminded of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then he turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.).'* [Soorah as-Sajdah (32): 22]. *Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab (rahimahullah) said,* _"There is no difference if one does any of them (the above nullifiers) jokingly, seriously or in fear, except under force. They are all very dangerous and most likely to happen. So, it is necessary for a Muslim to be aware of them, and fear them for himself. And we seek Allah's protection from that which brings about His Anger and severe punishment.‟_

*▪️Legislation (Tashree') is the (sole) Right of Allah*
The meaning of *Tashree' (legislation)* is (the guidelines/rules) that Allah has revealed for slaves, like the way (Manhaj) they should follow in beliefs and actions, Tahleel (making things Halaal) and Tahreem (making things Haraam). Thus, it is not allowed for anyone to proclaim anything Halaal unless Allah declares it Halaal, or proclaim anything Haraam unless Allah declares it Haraam. Allah says, *'And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely, 'This is lawful and this is forbidden,' so as to invent lies against Allah.'* [Soorah an-Nahl (16): 116].

*’Say (O Muhammad to these polytheists), 'Tell me, what provision Allah has sent down to you! And you have made of it lawful and unlawful.' Say (O Muhammad), 'Has Allah permitted you (to do so), or do you invent a lie against Allah?'* [Soorah Yunus (10): 59]
Thus, Allah has forbidden Tahleel and Tahreem without proof from the Book and the Sunnah. He has informed us that it is a lie against Allah just like He informed us that he, who makes something obligatory or forbidden without proof has made himself a partner with Allah is something that is special of Him Alone, and it is Tashree' (legislation).
___*PAGE 5*___. ✍️...
Allah says, *'Or have they partners with Allah (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not allowed.'* [Soorah ash-Shuraa (42): 21]
He, who obeys such a Musharri' (one, who makes Tashree') other than Allah and he knows it and is pleased with it, then he has associated a partner with Allah. Allah says, *'and if you obey them, then you would indeed be Mushrikoon.'* [Soorah al-An'aam (6): 121].
___*PAGE 6*___. ✍️..
Meaning, he who obeys those who make Halaal what Allah has made Haraam from the dead animals is a Mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), just like Allah informed us that he who obeys the rabbis and monks in their Tahleel of what Allah has made Haraam, and Tahreem of what Allah has made Halaal, has associated partners with Allah.
Allah says, *'They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam, while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat and the Injeel to worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)*
___*PAGE 7*___. ✍️...
*Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).'* [Soorah at-Tawbah (9):31]
When Adee Ibn Hatim (radhi allahu anhu) heard this verse, he said, _'O Messenger of Allah. We didn't worship them.'_ The Messenger of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, _*'Did they not make Haraam what Allah made Halaal and you all made it Haraam, and they made Halaal what Allah made Haraam and you all made it Halaal?' He replied, 'Certainly.' The Prophet of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'That is your worship to them.'*_ [At-Tirmidhee (3/247)].
___*PAGE 8*___. ✍️...
*Shaikh Abdur-Rahman Ibn Hasan said,* _'In this Hadeeth, is a proof that obedience to monks and rabbis while disobeying Allah in worshiping them other than Allah, and it is Major Shirk which Allah does not forgive, as Allah says at the end of the verse,_ *'while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded to worship none but One Deity. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).'* [Soorah at-Tawbah (9): 31]
So, adherence to the Legislation of Allah and abandoning the Legislation of other than Him is from the prerequisites of La ilaha illAllah. And Allah is the Source of Help.
