Taking means does not mean relying solely on them.
0:13
Taking means is based on the principle that one of Allah's established ways is the connection of outcomes to their causes.
0:19
It does not mean relying solely on them or being attached to them.
0:23
Without believing that the realization of a matter is by Allah's will and wisdom.
0:28
Meaning, no one should believe that as long as they have taken the necessary means,
0:34
then what they intended must come to pass, without needing Allah's will in that.
0:40
This attachment to means in that manner is considered polytheism (shirk).
0:45
Just as completely abandoning means is forbidden in the Sharia,
0:50
and denying their effect contradicts reason.
0:54
For means have an effect on outcomes,
0:57
but only after Allah's will and decree.
1:01
Just as the servant has a will and desire,
1:05
which is after Allah's will and decree.
