About this episode
By Abu Ousayd al-Islami Allaah the Most High says:
Those who believe and do not mix their belief with dhulm, they are those upon whom is security and they are the rightly guided. (
Soorah Al-An’aam: 82.)
From ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood, who said: "When this verse was revealed, some Muslims began to
grieve, and said: ‘Which of us does not do dhulm (oppression) to his soul?’ The Messenger of Allaah
(pbuh) said: "It is not that, verily it is shirk, have you not heard the saying of Luqmaan to his son:
Oh my Son! Do not make shirk with Allaah. Verily, shirk is a great dhulm. (Soorah Luqmaan: 13.; Reported by Al-Bukhaari and Muslim.)
This verse gives glad tidings to the believers, those who single out Allaah alone for worship, those who do
not mix their belief with shirk. Rather, they are far from it, they have complete security from the
punishment of Allaah in the Hereafter and they are the rightly guided in this world.
2) The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Imaan consists of sixty something branches, the highest of them is the saying ‘Laa ilaaha
illa Allaah’, and the lowest of them is to remove something harmful from the road." (
Reported by Muslim.)
3) Shaikh ‘Abdullaah Khayaat mentions in his book entitled Daleel ul-Muslim Fil I’tiqaad wat-Tat’heer :
"Because of the human nature of man and due to his lack of infallibility, his feet slip and he falls into
disobedience to Allaah. When he is from the people of tawheed, pure from the blemishes of shirk, and he
singles out Allaah alone for worship, and he is sincere in saying ‘Laa ilaaha illa Allaah’, it becomes the
greatest factor for his happiness and an expiation for his sins and an elimination of his evil deeds, as has
come in the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ): "Whoever testifies that none has the right to be
worshipped except Allaah, alone without any partners and that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger, and that
‘Eesaa is a slave of Allaah, and a Word delivered to Maryam and a Spirit from Him, and that Paradise is true and the
Fire is true, Allaah will enter him into Paradise in accordance to his deeds." (
Reported by Al-Bukhaari and Muslim.)
Verily, ‘Laa ilaaha illa Allaah’, the testification that the Muslim testifies with, is the foundation necessary
for his entrance into Paradise, the place of comfort, even if some of his actions had defects and
shortcomings. As has come in the hadeeth Qudsee, Allaah, the Most High, says: "O Son of Aadam, verily if
you were to come to Me with the equivalent of the earth full of mistakes and then meet Me without associating partners with
Me in anything, then I would give to you its equivalent amount of Mercy." (Hasan-Reported by At-Tirmidhi and Ad-Diyaa)
