Translation text: فلما قال القائل لا إله إلا الله معناها لا خالق إلا الله If a person says: La ilah ila Allah means there is no creator except Allah, قال لا لا، مش معناها لا خالق إلا الله it is said: No, the meaning is not "there is no creator except Allah." يشرحوا له بالعربي It is explained to him in Arabic; لا إله، "إله" مش معناه الخالق ilah does not mean the Creator. معناه المعبود It means the one worshipped. العرب ما يعرفون من كلمه إله يعني خالق Arabs don’t understand the world "ilah" to mean "the Creator." لا، إله يعني معبود No, "ilah" means the one worshipped. فمعنى لا إله، يعني لا معبود Therefore, "la ilah" means: no one deserves worship, إلا الله، يعني لا معبود يستحق العبادة إلا الله "ila Allah" meaning no one deserves worship, except Allah. (لأن الله يقول في آية اخرى ﴿ذلك بأن الله هو الحق وأن ما يدعون من دونه هو الباطل…….﴾ [Al-Ḥajj: 62] Because Allah says in an Ayah: “That is because Allâh - He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Bâtil (falsehood). And verily, Allâh - He is the Most High, the Most Great.” [Al-Ḥajj: 62] فقالوا إذًا تفسيرها، تفسير لا إله إلا الله، معناها لا معبود حق إلا الله So they've explained that "La ilah illa Allah" means: 'There is none that deserves to be worshipped except Allah.' خرجوا؟ ابتدعوا؟ و لا فسروا فقط؟ Did they make khurooj? Did they innovate? Or did they just make tafseer (explain)? فسروا They explained. لما جاء من ينتسب للإسلام، ويقول لا إله إلا الله ويعبد الأولياء So, when someone who ascribes himself to Islam comes and says "La ilaha ila Allah" while worships Awliyaa' (righteous people), قيل له تعال it is said to him: come! ترى معنى لا إلا الله، يعني لا يستحق العبادة أحد إلا الله You see, the meaning of 'La ilaha ila Allah' is 'no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah', شلون تعبد الأولياء so, how can you worship the Awliyaa'? العرب كان يفهمون هذا من غير تفسير The Arabs understood this without needing an explanation - عرب خلص they were pure Arabs. (إنهم كانوا إذا قيل لهم لا إله إلا الله يستكبرون) [Aṣ-Ṣāffāt: 35] “Truly, when it was said to them: Lâ ilâha illallâh "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).” [Aṣ-Ṣāffāt:35] فاهمين إنه إذا قلت لا إله إلا الله لازم أترك الاصنام They understood that if one saya "La ilaha ila Allah," it means that one must leave worshiping idols. (فيقولون ﴿إنهم كانوا إذا قيل لهم لا إله إلا الله يستكبرون ۝ ويقولون أئنا لتاركو آلهتنا لشاعر مجنون [Aṣ-Ṣāffāt: 35-36] So they say: Truly, when it was said to them: Lâ ilâha illallâh "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).” And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our âlihah (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?" [Aṣ-Ṣāffāt:35-36] لا، لا يمكن أن نقول لا إله إلا الله (They said) no! We cannot say "La ilaha ila Allah" لأنهم فاهمين because they understood what it meant. أما الآن من ينتسب للإسلام يقول لا إله إلا الله و يعبد الأولياء Now, there are people who ascribe themselves to Islam and say "La ilaha ila Allah," but they worship the righteous people! يعني لم يفهم شيئًا That means that they didn't understand a thing! ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://youtube.com/channel/UCSZQ94R_9fXNumssaa5BAkg 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
