Introduction

• Verily Allah 'Azza Wa Jalla sent His Prophet, the Prophet of

Mercy, and revealed to him the Book and the Wisdom, to be a

warner and a bringer of glad tidings,

• and He (swt) made the Prophet's followship is the only way to

success and happiness

• And on the contrary, He (swt) placed humiliation, disgrace,

upon those who disobeyed Him and invented new matters

and added them to His Deen.

• Allah says in His Book regarding the followship of His

Prophet:

[67- O Apostle! proclaim the (Message) which has been sent to

you from your Lord. If you did not, you would not have

fulfilled and proclaimed His Mission. And Allah will defend

you from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guides not those

who reject Faith.] (Al-Maidah 5:67)

• And He (ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ� ��ـ�ـ) advised his Ummah and explained

to them the Message of his Lord in his most eloquent and

accurate pattern of speech and Allah (� (�ـ"ـ!ـ�نـ� و �ـ�ـ��

commanded him to do so.

• And He (ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ� ��ـ�ـ) strove in the cause of Allah and

spared no effort in spreading Allah's Deen till he

( �ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ��ـ�ـ� ا� �ـ ) met his Lord.

• and he (ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ� ��ـ�ـ) delivered the Message completely

and perfectly, therefore, therer is no room for anyone to add

anything into the Deen because Allah (swt) has perfected and

completed His Deed.

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed

My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your

religion."

((Al-Maidah 5:3))

• And the Companions learnt their Deen from their Prophet ((( ��ـ�ـ ��ـ�ـ ��ـ�ـ

and passed it over to the second generation as it (((ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ�ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ�ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ�

is,

• and the second generation passed it to the third in a similar

manner.

• But unfortunately, after the three generations passed away,

Muslims started to innovate and fabricate their own methods to

understand the Deen, not based on the Quran and the authentic

Sunnah but based on their own whims and fancies.

Page 6: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

6

• Not only that, but also desserted the pure spring (Quran &

Sunnah) and turned their faces towards the deviant

philosophies such the Greek, Hindu, Budhist, etc... to quench

their thirst from their contaminated waters.

• But did they find answers for their queries with the non-

Muslims or they confused them more?!!!

Indeed they became more confused and perplexed by Philosophy

and got lost into its labyrinths.

And here are some quotes 0f those who suffered and experienced

the agony because of their abandonment of the Quran and Sunnah.

1. Al- Fakhr Ar-Razee

Nihaayato Iqdamo al-Oqoolo Aqalo ***

Wa ghaa yato sa’ee al-‘Alameena Dhalaalo

The boldness of the minds led us to confusion ***

And the fruit we reaped ultimately was misguidance

Wa arwaahona fi wahshatin min yosoomaana ***

Wa ghaa yato donyaana atha wa wabaalo

Page 7: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

7

And our souls are strangers in our bodies ***

And what we gained was only pain and harm

Wa lam Nasta fed min sa’eena ti waalla ‘om rinaa ***

Siwa an jama’na fihi qila wa qaalo

And we gained nothing in our life ***

except we compiled they said and said

Fa kam qad ra aina min rijaalin wa dawlatin ***

Fa baa dao yami ‘an mus ri’eena wa zaalo

We had seen many men and states ***

They all perished quickly and nothing remained

Wa kam min jibaalin qad ‘alaa shoro faatiha ***

Ri jaalon Fa maato jami ‘an wal Jibaalo Jibaalo

Many mountains their peaks were climbed ***

By men who died but the mountains remain to challenge

Page 8: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

8

Then He (Ar-Razee) said:

"Verily I have studied thoroughly all the philosophic

methodologies and found them neither cure the sick nor qench the

thirst of the seeker."

Then he returned to the Quranic methodology and said:

"I have found the most accurate way to know the truth is the

Quranic method, I read regarding the affirmation of Allah's

attributes:

[10- If any do seek for glory and power, to Allah belong all

glory and power. To Him mount up (all) words of Purity: it is

He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness. Those that lay

such will be void (of result).] ((Fatir ,35:10))

Then he said:

had the knowledge I had."[see his book Aqsaam al-Ladhaat (Categories of Delights)]

2. Ash-Shahrastanee said:

Verily I have visited all the schools of philosophy ***

3. Al-Jowainee said:

"Oh our friends! Do not indulge yourself in philosophy, had I

known the dreadful consequences of it (philosophy) I would

not have dedicated myself to it"

and he also said on his death bed, full of remorse and regret, the

following:

"I have waded and fathomed the deep waters of oceans

(of philosophy) , left behind me the Muslims and their sciences,

and I indulged myself into what they (Muslims) warned me

against. And if Allah encompasses me not in His Mercy, Woe

then to the son of al-Jowainee, and now I die upon the belief of

my mother, or upon the belief of the old women of Naisabaar."

4. Abu Haamid al Ghazaalee

Is one of those who wasted their lives studying philosophy and he

had a wandering life moving from one extreme to another. And he

finally e wrote a book by the title "Iljaamul 'Awaan 'an 'Ilmul

Kalaam" (Inhibition of a laymen from indulging into philosophy."

Page 12: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

12

And he, towards the end of his life he forsook philosophy and

devoted the rest of his life studying the sunnah of the Prophet

and died with Sahih Imam al-Bukharee on his chest.

5. Abu Al-Hasan al-Ash'aree

He grew up as a Mu'tazilee (Mu'tazelite) in the custody of his

stepfather Abu 'Ali al Jibalee - the shaykh of the Mu'tazilah at his

time - who taught him the fundamentals of "itizaal for fourty

years. And when he mastered the Mu'tazilah Methodology he

abhored it and renounced it completely.

And started to refute the shobuhaat of the Mu'tazilah. Not only

that, but he declared his repentance publicly in the mosque, he

climbed the pulpit and said:

"I used to say that the Quraan is created and that the believers

will not see their Rab (Lord) on the Day of Judgement, and the

evil is created by man not Allah, and I now declare my

repentance, and I believe it is obligatory to expose the faults of

the Mutazilah.

REALITY OF TAWEEL

(A) Lexical Meaning:

Taweel is an infinitive (gram) and its root is أول (Aol) from �أ�

:Ala ya Olo and it covers many meanings یـ,ول

1. Reformation

“When it is in the transitive mode, the Arabs say: "Alaho Ya

Oloo Awlan, for amending, reparing, reforming”.

[Al-Kaamil/ Al Mubarrid (3/109) Moassat ar-Risaalah 1406H].

2. Return and Repetition

“When it is in the transitive form using the prepositions (ila)

and ('An), or when it it intransitive.

The Arabs say: ((Aala Ar-Rajulu 'An Ash_shay'ee, when he

refrains from doing something.”

((Jamharatu Al-Logha / Ibn doraid 3/482))

Page 14: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

14

And Ibn Al-Aaraabee (Etymologist & Gramarian) said:

“Al-'Aolo is the return” (ibid)

3. Solidification, Curdling and Coagulation etc.

Ibn Faris said: Al-Khaleel Ibn Ahmad al Faraahidee said:

"Aala Al-Labano, Ya Oloo Awlan, wa Owoolan: Khathara."

down in prostration, (all) before him. He said: "O my father!

MEANING OF TA'WEEL IN THE SUNNAH

1. Abu Saeed al Khudree (ر0ـ/ ا� �ـ��) narrated, Allah's

Apostle (ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ� ��ـ� ) said:

(While I was asleep I saw people coming to me wearing shirts,

some of these shirts cover only upto their breasts, and some

(shirts reach) lower than that (the breasts), then I saw 'Umar

ibn Al-Khattab trailing his shirt."

They (the Companions) said:

" How did you interpret it, O Allah's Apostle!?"

HHHeee sssaaaiiiddd::: "Ad-Deen (imaan)" . ((Bukhari & Muslim))

2.“While I was asleep, I saw in my hand two golden bracelets

which made me unhappy, then I was told to blow them off.

Then I blew them and they flew. And I interpreted it (vision)

as two Dajaals (liars come after me.” ((Agreed upon))

3.“O Allah! Give him (ibn Abbas) profound knowledge of the

Deen and teach him the Taweel(Tafseer,interpretation)”

((Ahmad, Ibn Majah, al Hakim))

Page 19: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

19

THE CONVENTIONAL MEANING OF TAWEEL

1. The Salaf's Convention:

((Taweel in the Salaf's terminology means two things: Meaning

and explanation of the lafdh (utterance,word).

(a) Jabr bin Abdullah (ر0ـ/ ا� �ـ��) narrated regarding the

Farewell Pilgrimage:

“..And Allah's Messenger (ا� �ـ�ـ�ـ� و �ـ�ـ� ��ـ� ) was among us,

and the Quran descends upon him, and he knows its Taweel

(meaning), and whatever he applied it to we applied.))

who are firmly grounded in knowledge.] {Al-Imran 3:7}

"Iam one of those who are firmly grounded in knowledge and

know its Ta'weel." (Jami' al Bayaan, 3/122)

Mujaahid ( ر�ـ�ـ� ا ) said:

((Those who are firmly grounded in knowledge know its (the

Quran) ta'weel (tafseer, interpretation) ((ibid))

(c) The reality that utterance conveys:

((Fulfilment of what had been foretold in a prophecy at the

exact time, or to abide by the purport of the utterance, and to

fulfil its command, especially when the utterance is a request.

In this regard, Taweel means the final state of what had been

foretold, or requested.)) ( al Hamawiyyah, By: Ibn Taimiyyah)

2. Taweel According to the Khalaf's Convention

((unacceptance of the apparent meaning of the text because

there is another text which conveys the opposite.))

[Sharh Mukhtasar Ar-Rawdhah (3/599)By: Sulaiman bin 'Abd al

Qawe at-Toofee]

Examples:

1. “By Allaah, He does not believe, he does not believe, whose

Neighbour is not safe from his evil.”

2. “No backbitter will enter the Jannah nor a severer of a womb

(kith and kin)”

3. “Allah refused to grant His forgiveness to the killer of a

believer.”

((Sahih al Jami'))

TERMS OF USOOL AL-FIQH

1- Ad-Dhaahr

(a) Lexical definition:

the evident, the apparent meaning.

(b) Technical definition:

((The text that its purport is obvious and preponderant

(raajih)).

Example: Renewal of one’s wudu if he/she eats from the camle’s

meat.

((Whoevver eats the flesh of camels should renew his/her

wudu)) ((Ahmad, Abu Dawood))

The apparent meaning of the hadeeth is the legal wudu not wudu

in the lexical sense which means cleanliness.

2- An-Nas (self - evident text)

((Its meaning is so clear and needs no other evidence to explain

its meaning))

Page 24: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

24

3. Al Mujmal

� Lexically it means: Unknown, summarised .

� Technically it means:

((Its exact meaning can be arrived at through other evidences))

The word Quroo means two things:

"228- Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for

three quroo (monthly periods.)"

(Al-Baqarah 2:228)

1. Menses

2. Purity (Ceasation of menstrual blood)

Therefore, we need another evidence to tell us which of the two

meanings is meant in this particular contex of the ayah.

DEFINITION OF THE CORRECT TAWEEL

“The correct Taweel is to construe the apparent meaning of the

text to another due to the existence of Qarina Sarifah (averting

context)

[Sharh Mukhtasar al Muntaha, By: Ibn al Hajib]

Rules of the Correct Taweel

1. When the meaning of text is self-evident, Ta'weel in this

case is not allowed.

"Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one

whom the Evil One by his touch has driven to madness. That is

because they say: "Trade is like usury," but Allah hath

permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after

receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned

for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who

repeat (the offence) are Companions of the Fire; they will

abide therein (forever). " ((Al-Baqarah 2: 275))

So here Allah differentiated between Riba (usury and interest ) and

Trading

2. Whe the text is evident , besides, the availability of other

contexts (qaraain) which augment the apparent meaning of

the text, in this case also Taweeel is not permissible.

143. And when Mûsa (Moses) came at the time and place

Allâh said: "You cannot see Me, but look upon the mountain if

Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust,

THE FUNDAMENTALS UPON WHICH AHLU AL-KALAM

(SCHOLASTIC, PHILOSOPHICAL, THEOLOGIANS) BUILT

THEIR TA'WEEL

1. Giving Preference to the Rationale (intellect) over the

Religious Text.

Rejection of Qur'aanic , Prophetic texts merely because some

people's minds can not comprehend; is undoubtedly, a way of

deception and deviation.

Indeed, it is a satanic method, invented by Iblees himself when

Allah commanded him to prostrate before Adam and he refused

under the pretext that he (Iblees ) is better than Adam

Permissibility of Majaaz in the Quran and Sunnah

Haqiqah vs Majaaz

2.1 Haqiqah

Is the literal sense of the word, for example the word Lion is meant

for a wild beast with specific features.

Types of Haqaa'iq (realities)

(a) Legal (shar’iyyah) reality

Usage of the utterance (word) according to the shariah

terminology

(b) Lexical Reality

The literal meaning of the utterance (word).

(c) Conventional reality

Usage of the word according to the norms of the society.

For example, the word Daabbah in Arabic means any moving

creature. But , according to the norms of the Arabs , it is used only

Page 34: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

34

for the four-footed animals. Therefore , to call someone Daabbah

is considered an offence , and an apology shoud be paid to the

person whom was offended.

2.2 Majaaz ( Metaphor , figuritive expression )

Understanding the text not in its real sense.

For example:

To use the word “Lion” , to refer to a man can never be taken in

lieterally.

Because, a human being differs from an animal, but, we

understand in it metaphorically, since both the man and the lion

share a common quality which is bravery.

When will it be permissible to interpret the apparent meaning

metaphorically?

• The basic rule regarding speech is to be understood in its real

sense.

• Resorting to metaphoric interpretation is an exception, besides,

the fulfillment of the following conditions:

Page 35: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

35

� We have to be certain that the apparent meaning of the text can

never be understood literally.

� Availability of Qarinah (Context ) which compels us to render

the text metaphorically.

� When the meaning of the text should be understood

metaphorically,

Allaah (Subhanaho Wa Ta’ala ) provides the Qarinah (Context) to

save His salves from error and confusion.

Types of Qaraain (Contexts)

1. Qarinah Shar’iyah

Qarinah (Context) is an evidence which will explain the apparent

meaning of the text, whether it is within the text or outside it.

The Prophet (Salla Allaaho ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:

“ Pray before Maghrib (sunnah , after the adhaan and before the

Iqaamah) he repeated it three times. Then he said: ‘ If you wish.’ ”

The word wish here in the text is the Qarinah which reduced the

ruling from been wajib (obligatory) to mustahab (recommended).

Page 36: Muslim's creed part two v1.doc

36

2. Qarinah ‘Orfiyah (Customary Context)

The apparent meaning of the text should be understood in

accordance to the people’s norms.
