In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Milestones on the path to stability
The correct origin
One of the means of stability is correct origin
By rooting, we mean
That a Muslim builds his knowledge and work on established and proven principles
Its source is the Qur’an and Sunnah
And the understanding of the nation’s predecessors
Illuminated by the roots of the nation’s notables, ancient and modern
Sheikh al-Islam said in Majmu’ al-Fatawa:
We mention a universal rule in this regard for the entire nation
So we say
Man must have universal origins to which the particulars can be traced
To speak with knowledge and justice
Then he knows the details how they occurred
Otherwise, he remains lying and ignorant of the details
Ignorance and injustice in colleges
Great corruption is generated
And since the people of theology and philosophy
They built their approach on corrupt foundations
They were the most disturbed and complaining people
Moving from saying to saying
Sheikh al-Islam said in Majmu’ al-Fatawa:
You find the people of theology the most people who move from one saying to another
It is clear from the statement in one place and it is clear from its opposite
And the expiation of his speaker is in another place
This is evidence of uncertainty
This is why some of the predecessors said
Omar bin Abdul Aziz or others
Whoever makes his religion an object of disputes
More mobility
As for the people of Sunnah and Hadith
None of their scholars nor the common people knows
He never went back on his statement or belief
Rather, they are the most patient people in this regard
Even if they are tested with all kinds of ordeals
They were tempted by all kinds of temptations
This is the condition of the prophets and their followers from the past
Like the people of Al-Akhdood and the like
The predecessors of this nation were the Companions and Followers
And other imams
Ibn al-Qayyim said about the benefits
Whoever wants the height of his building
He must document its foundation and its provisions
And take great care of him
The structure is only as strong as its foundation
Deeds and degrees are edifying and their foundation is faith
And when the foundation was solid
He carried the structure and mounted it
If any of the structure is destroyed, it is easy to repair it
If the foundation is not close
The structure did not rise and was not established
If anything is destroyed at all
The structure collapsed or almost collapsed
The knowledgeable person's mission is to correct and establish the foundation
The ignorant person raises a building based on no basis
Soon his building will collapse
God Almighty said
Is he who founded his building on fear of God and His approval better?
He who laid the foundations of his building
He who founded his building on the brink of a hot cliff
So he collapsed into the fire of hell
And God does not guide the wrongdoing people
Protect your structure on the strong foundation of faith
If something radiates from the tops and roof of the building,
It would have been easier for you to correct it than destroying the foundation.
This is based on two things
The first
Correct knowledge of God, His command, His names, and His attributes
And the second
An abstraction of the leadership of Him and His Messenger to the exclusion of anything else
This is the most solid foundation upon which the servant can build his structure
According to him, he can build whatever he wants
God has given an example of this rooting the truth in His Almighty saying
Haven't you seen how God gave the example of a good word like a good tree?
Its root is firm and its branches are in the sky
It bears fruit at all times, with the permission of its Lord
God sets examples for people so that they may remember
An evil word is like an evil tree
It uprooted from the earth what had no stability
God strengthens those who believe with the firm word in this life and in the afterlife
And God misleads the wrongdoers
And God does whatever He wants
So God Almighty began with the true rooting and description
Then it was described as false rooting
Then all the two roots of stability and its lack of stability bore fruit
The good word is the word of monotheism, there is no god but God
Every call is not built on this great foundation
It is false and failed because monotheism is the first and last duty
He is the beginning and the end, and the caller and the called do not depart from Him
This word has firm roots in the soil of piety
Its branch was high in the sky and did not shake due to temptation
He is not driven by whims and interests
It bears its fruits at all times, in war and peace
In the stage of weakness and strength, in prison and release
Its owner does not know despair and despair
At all times he has to do something, either with his heart, or with his tongue, or with his limbs
Unlike that malicious tree that has no roots or roots
As soon as the first turmoil came, it would be uprooted from the earth
You cannot be steadfast and steadfast
This way you know the benefit of rooting
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Deeds are like a vessel, if the bottom is good, the top is good
If the bottom is spoiled, the top is spoiled
