📖 Description: This video presents the words of Shaykh Salih al Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) clarifying the ruling on those who worship graves while claiming Islam, that they are called mushrikeen. ❗ This serves as a refutation against the extremist Murjiah who claim that actions and statements do not affect one’s iman, and that kufr only occurs through juhud (denial) by persisting upon the act after being informed. ✅ The Shaykh affirms that directing worship to graves is major shirk, and that those who do so are not Muslims based upon what is outwardly apparent. (31:18 - 33:53) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyvV0UT3pnw ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ Important: ⚠️ 📌 The issue of the excuse of ignorance has nothing to do with the worldly ruling. Rulings in the dunya are based upon outward actions and statements. Whoever commits clear major shirk is treated as a mushrik in this life. 🔹 Those who affirm the excuse of ignorance believe in the existence of Ahl al Fatrah. They are a people who did not receive the message of Islam correctly, so they are not held liable in the Hereafter. 🔸 Those who reject the excuse of ignorance deny Ahl al Fatrah and weaken the narrations concerning them, claiming that shirk is known to be evil by sound intellect and natural disposition, and therefore its doer is punished. 🛑 BOTH POSITIONS AGREE THAT THE ONE WHO COMMITS MAJOR SHIRK IS NOT A MUSLIM. The difference is whether such a person, if truly ignorant, will remain eternally in the Fire or not. 🚫 In our time, a faction of Murjiah has emerged promoting false beliefs. They claim that a person who commits any action or utters any statement of kufr remains a Muslim until personally informed. They argue that kufr only occurs in the heart, and they hide behind this issue in order to confuse others. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 This video clarifies the truth in matters of tawhid, shirk, iman, and the nullifiers of Islam according to the scholars of Ahl al Sunnah. 🤲 May Allah grant firmness upon pure tawhid and protect the Muslims from the misguidance of the Murjiah. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and True — From the Scholars to You ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Islam #Muslim #Quran #Hadith #Sunnah #Aqeedah #Aqidah #Tawheed #Kufr #Shirk #Takfir #IbnTaymiyyah #WahdatAlWujud #Hululiyyah #UnityOfExistence #Ashari #Jahmiyyah #AhlusSunnah #Salafi #Salafiyyah #IslamicCreed #CorrectBelief #IslamicRefutation #Ilm #Scholars #Fatwa #Manhaj #Bidah #IslamicKnowledge #IslamicReminder #TrueIslam #AuthenticIslam #Creed #Athari #Hanbali #Fiqh #Murjiah #Irja #SalihAlFawzan #IslamicBelief
