Faris Al HammadiHOST
So you're saying, no, be nice because this is better.
Faris Al HammadiHOST
If a person is known for his bid'ah, and I told you how severe bid'ah is, like Jahmiyyah, or Mu'tazila, or any of these people, or people who call to graves, or people who insult a Sahaba, how you be nice to them? There's some kind of legality.
Faris Al HammadiHOST
There are authority, you get in trouble legally, something like that.
Faris Al HammadiHOST
It's a different case.
speaker_0HOST
There could be a number of different things why it's being carried out in such a fashion that is filled with wisdom from Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, even when we as his creatures are unable to trace exactly what that wisdom is.
speaker_0HOST
And so when they, these great imams, would read statements like to cause pain without prior sin, et cetera, without later recompense, they understood this as a device that was being, or as I should say, as a statement, a doctrinal statement that's being utilized to defend the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah from the Mu'tazili idea that reason and logic can obligate Allah to act only when a visible benefit is present.
speaker_0HOST
not as a literal denial, meaning that the Imams of the Hanabilah, when they said this, they weren't denying that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la acts with wise purpose.
speaker_0HOST
This is not the case at all.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
You can't say that this is black if there's no blackness in it.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
Mu'tazilite for some reason despite the rationalism that they had, they just couldn't get that.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
They said that he doesn't have any separate attributes.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
It's all in the self.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
So then it has to be eternal.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
We believe it's eternal.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
The Mu'tazilites said that if we believe it's eternal, then it means we've got another entity that's also eternal.
Abdur-Rahman MangeraHOST
You're going to have a multiplicity of eternal beings.
Ali DesaiGUEST
And Ahmad ibn Hanbal, his period is categorized by a number of events.
Ali DesaiGUEST
One event that stands out is the Mihna of Ahmad, the inquisition or the trial of Ahmad, where certain Abbasid rulers had been influenced with Mu'tazili creed, Mu'tazili belief, And the famous trial had started with the discussion and the debate over whether the Quran is the created speech or not.
Ali DesaiGUEST
Ahmed stuck to his guns and he was persecuted, he was tortured, but he refused to compromise.
Ali DesaiGUEST
After about 20 years or so, the mihna had come to an end.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
The people that oppose the sunnah, even within themselves, you find that they split.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
And then he mentioned the Mu'tazila, likewise their ranks are split.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
And even the Rafidah, their ranks are split.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
And other than them, from the deviant sects.
1 HR 4 MINS LATER
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
Are they in accordance to that which is correct? It's very very easy to be distinguished.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
You have, like for example, like some of the sects that we mentioned in the beginning.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
Like from them the Sufiya, from them we have the Khawarij, from them we have the Mu'tazila, many of these different sects.
Abu Idrees Muhammad KhanGUEST
All of them like you mentioned, they claim to have the Quran and the Sunnah.
Abu Khadeejah Abdul-WahidGUEST
وَأَمَّا إِذَا نَدَرْتَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَحْوَاءِ وَالْبِدْعَاءِ However, if you were to look towards the people of desires and the people of innovation and deviation, رَأَيْتَهُمْ مُتَّفَرِّقِينَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ You would see that they are divided, split, and upon different ways or they are upon factions that you will find them in factions and in parties and you will not find one of them or you will not find two of them except that they are upon different ways you find the people just like the brother mentioned the Khawarij they fought against Ali they split away from Ali they divided into over 71 sects of the Khawarij The Shia they divided and they divided into dozens and scores of sects up until this day.
Abu Khadeejah Abdul-WahidGUEST
The Sufis when they divided and they split into hundreds of factions, This is what you find the Mu'tazila and the Jahniyah when they divided.
Abu Khadeejah Abdul-WahidGUEST
When they split away from the likes of Ahmed ibn Muhammad.
Abu Khadeejah Abdul-WahidGUEST
And they split away from the likes of Imam Shafi'i.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
The mu'tazila, as we know, their deviance fundamentally as relates to the asma or sifat, the names and attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in that day.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
negate Allah's sifat and His af'al and His actions and they claim to affirm Allah's names without any meaning, meaning that they affirm Allah's name but they do not affirm the meaning of the names.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And this is the Mu'tazila, this is the essential belief of the Mu'tazila along with the belief in the manzila bayna manzilatayn.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
that the person who falls into major sin, that they are neither a believer or neither are they a disbeliever.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
They're in a station between two stations.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And this is a part of the innovation of the Mu'tazila.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
That's the fundamental BarakAllahu feekum belief along with the fact that the person falls into sins or major sins that they are forever in the hellfire.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
We mentioned this and studied this a couple of weeks ago.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
The Jahmiyyah.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And then it was taken and adopted by the Mu'tazila.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And the Mu'tazila, became the ones that were most prominent as it relates to the false claim that the Qur'an, which is the Kalam of Allah, is created.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And then he says, Now we've dealt with the affair of the Qur'an or those claiming that the Qur'an is created.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
What the Imams do now, here they mention three general positions as it relates to the Quran.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And the first deviance is the one that we've finished with now, which is the clear statement of the Jahmiyyah who claim that the Quran is created.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
That's the first deviant position as it relates to the Quran.
Uways at-TaweelGUEST
And that is the position of the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazila, BarakAllahu feekum, and indirectly the Ash'aira themselves.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Then how can one turn away from the likes of these opportunities? But Allah is calling out to His slaves to forgive, to give, to grant.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Should we be like the Jahamiyyah? and the Mu'tazila, and the Asha'ira, who don't believe in the likes of these narrations, who deny Allah's Nuzul, they are no doubt worse.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
And the Shaykh, he mentioned that we have this hadith with us, and the khayr and the good that is found within it.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
But these people even deny Allah's action.
10 MINS LATER
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
So how evil must that person be? And what is he gathering from sins? people to misguidance.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
May Allah protect us.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
So the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazila who opened up the door of fitna, who opened up the door of denying Allah's names and His attributes.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Imagine the sins that are falling upon their shoulders.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Al-'Alādī , he mentioned that none opposed the affair of the companions being upright except It's only the deviants who found fault in them.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Like the Mu'tazila and the Khawarij.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
And it's not to say that because they're trustworthy and upright, that they're not infallible.
Abu Abdir-Rahman HilalGUEST
Of course they're like men.
