Seeking guidance
0:12
The sincere caller strives for the means of guidance and knowledge of the truth with its evidence.
0:17
And struggles with the self to accept it and submit to it after knowing it.
0:23
And guidance is of two types.
0:25
First,
0:26
Guidance of instruction and clarification.
0:29
This is what is meant in Allah's saying:
0:32
"But as for Thamud, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance."
0:38
And this type of guidance is achieved through knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah, and insight into the religion by understanding the righteous salaf.
0:47
Second,
0:49
Guidance of success and submission.
0:52
This is what is intended in Allah's saying:
0:55
“Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.” (28:56)
1:01
And this is achieved by Allah's success for His servant who deserves it.
1:06
And the servant is sincere in desiring this guidance, so he turns to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, in seeking it.
1:13
Just as it is part of the concept of seeking guidance
1:16
not to be merely guided,
1:19
but to be a leader in this guidance,
1:22
pointing to it and guiding others to it.
1:26
As Allah the Almighty described the servants of the Most Merciful by saying:
1:30
"And make us an example for the righteous."
1:34
