WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.900 Summary of Sunni concepts 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:19.949 Polytheism is found in the basic pillars of worship in its comprehensive sense 00:00:19.949 --> 00:00:25.949 Closeness, orientation, asceticism, obedience, following, and legislation 00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:29.140 Love, loyalty and victory 00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:35.140 Among the polytheism of closeness and asceticism is what the people of Noah, peace be upon him, did 00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:40.140 From worshiping statues that were made for the righteous among them after their death 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.240 God Almighty said about them 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:58.240 And they said, “Do not forsake your gods, and do not forsake Wad, Suwa, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr.” 00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:06.939 In Sahih Al-Bukhari, these are originally the names of righteous men from Noah’s people 00:01:06.939 --> 00:01:12.939 When they perished, Satan inspired their people to sit in their gatherings 00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:18.939 On which they were sitting as monuments of statues, and they called them by their names 00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:26.939 So they did so, and you did not worship them, until when those people perished and knowledge was abrogated, you worshiped them 00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:28.939 Narrated by Al-Bukhari 00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:32.230 The worship of these idols continued 00:01:32.230 --> 00:01:35.230 It was transmitted to the Arabs before Islam 00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:41.230 Each tribe had one of these idols that they worshiped instead of God 00:01:41.230 --> 00:01:46.230 Omar bin Luhain Al-Khuza’i added other idols to it 00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:50.650 Like Al-Lat, Al-Izza, Manat and Hubal 00:01:50.650 --> 00:01:54.650 This polytheism still exists in our modern era 00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:59.650 Buddhists worship the statue of Buddha and approach it 00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:03.650 Hindus and Sikhs have multiple gods 00:02:03.650 --> 00:02:10.650 Sufism is steeped in this form of polytheistic worship of many saints and righteous people 00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:13.650 Circumambulating around their graves and slaughtering for them 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:17.650 There are many other misguided nations among them 00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:22.509 As for the polytheism of obedience, following, and legislation 00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:26.509 Humanity fell into it from ancient times as well 00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:28.509 In the Holy Hadith 00:02:28.509 --> 00:02:32.509 And I created all of My servants as being pure 00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:37.509 And the devils came to them and led them away from their religion 00:02:37.509 --> 00:02:40.509 And I forbade for them what I made permissible for them 00:02:40.509 --> 00:02:45.699 And I commanded them to associate anything with Me for which I did not send down any authority 00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:47.860 Narrated by Muslim 00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:50.860 The People of the Book also fell into this trap 00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:54.860 By following their rabbis in their analysis and prohibition 00:02:54.860 --> 00:02:57.860 As God Almighty said about them 00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:07.860 They took their rabbis and monks as lords other than God and Christ, son of Mary 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:13.860 They were commanded only to worship one God 00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:16.860 There is no god but Him 00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:22.860 Glory be to Him for what they associate with Him 00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:28.250 Adi Ibn Hatim, may God be pleased with him, was amazed by the verse 00:03:28.250 --> 00:03:31.250 He was a Christian before his conversion to Islam 00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:37.250 He said, O Messenger of God, they were not worshiping them 00:03:37.250 --> 00:03:41.250 He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said yes 00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:46.250 But they make lawful for them what God has forbidden, so they make it lawful 00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:50.250 They prohibit for them what God has permitted, so they prohibit it 00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:53.250 This is their worship 00:03:53.250 --> 00:03:57.310 Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and authenticated by Al-Albani 00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.599 The Arabs also fell into it before Islam 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.599 As mentioned about them in Surat Al-Ma’idah 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.599 They took Al-Buhaira, Al-Saybah, Al-Wasila, and Al-Hami 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.599 God Almighty said 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:19.600 God has not made it a lake or a lake 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:27.600 There is no bulk, no sila, and no welding 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:36.600 Nor Ham, but those who disbelieve invent lies against God 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.600 Most of them do not understand 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.949 Just as they argued with Muslims about the ruling on eating dead animals, they said: 00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:51.949 Whatever God slaughters, do not eat, and whatever you slaughter, you may eat 00:04:51.949 --> 00:04:58.019 Narrated by Al-Nasa’i and Abu Dawud, authenticated by Al-Albani and Shuaib Al-Arnaut 00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:01.110 That is what God Almighty says 00:05:01.110 --> 00:05:10.110 And the devils inspire their friends to argue with you 00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:18.110 And if you obey them, you are polytheists 00:05:18.110 --> 00:05:21.430 Where Persia instructed the Quraysh 00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:26.430 That the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, argued about the ruling on eating dead meat 00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:32.750 The verse stated that obeying the infidels of Quraysh is polytheism 00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:34.750 And in our contemporary reality 00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:38.750 Many people fall into the trap of obedience and following 00:05:38.750 --> 00:05:43.750 By resorting to judgment other than God’s law, knowingly and willingly 00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:46.750 The Almighty’s saying applies to them 00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:51.779 Have you not seen those who claim to have believed? 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:58.779 With what was revealed to you and what was revealed before you, they want 00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:03.779 They want to be judged by the tyrant 00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:07.779 They were commanded to disbelieve in him 00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:15.779 Satan wants to mislead them far astray 00:06:15.779 --> 00:06:22.259 Western civilization takes human desires as a god that it worships instead of God 00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:29.259 And follow it in the name of freedom, human rights, etc 00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:33.709 As for the trap of love, loyalty, and support 00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:38.709 It is what we see today, the pre-Islamic diet of earthly ties 00:06:38.709 --> 00:06:42.709 Love, loyalty and innocence are based on it 00:06:42.709 --> 00:06:47.709 Such as devotion to the country, people, or race 00:06:47.709 --> 00:06:49.709 And God Almighty said 00:06:49.709 --> 00:06:53.709 Say, “Should I take a guardian other than God?”
