Tafsir Al Qur'an Surah 63. Al Munafiqun [Part 1] Notes

 

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

TAFSEER

SURAH MUNAFIQOON

SEPTEMBER 14 2013

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ Said in this verses:

AYAH 1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ

When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad ), they say: "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah." Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed. (Al-Munafiqun 63:1)

By looking at this surah;

The name of this surah, your common sense tells you that it was revealed in Medinah, not Makkah because there were no hypocrites in Makkah and the reason why there were no hypocrites in Makkah is because the condition in Makkah was harsh

you needed strong Emaan to be Muslim because of the persecution,  but the fiqh ul waaqia of Medina was different and so it was easy for someone to hide his hypocrisy pretend to be Muslim while a hypocrite deep inside

Therefore the place you live affects your Emaan and your psyche

-ibn Taymiyyah explained this

How can you be with the Prophet () and be a hypocrite?

Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said, “The state of a place reflects the state of a person. It is possible to be sometimes a Muslim and at other times a disbeliever; sometimes sincere and at other times hypocritical; sometimes good and pious and at other times rotten and corrupt. Thus, a person becomes like the place of his abode. The migration of a person from a land of disbelief and profanity to one of faith and probity is an expression of repentance and of his turning away from disobedience and perversion to belief and obedience. This is so until the Day of Resurrection.” [Majmu’al-Fatawa, (18/284)]

-so if hypocrites lived back then, can you imagine the number in our time

A Tabi'e said I met 30 Sahabah and all of them were scared of being hypocrites]

-Hassan Al Basri said believer fears hypocrisy and only a Munafiq feels safe from hypocrisy

-This Surah was revealed after the battle of Banu Mustalliq in 6AH and the wordings of the surah confirm the surah was revealed after an expedition-Banu Mustalliq

-The leader of the hypocrites was Abdullah ibn Ubbay in Medina

-He was from the KHAZRAJ tribe and he was about to be anointed king of both the AWS and KHAZRAJ and he was even called king salool

-But when the Prophet () arrived in Medina, his influence became overshadowed

-Hence he carried a permanent grudge against the Prophet () and he pursued the path of hypocrisy

And never (O Muhammad ) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they were Fasiqun (rebellious, - disobedient to Allah and His Messenger ). (At-Tawbah 9:84)

Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: "I met thirty of the companions of the Prophet (), all of whom feared being hypocrites, and none of them ever said that he had faith equivalent to that of Jibreel and Mikaa‘eel."[No takhreej]

According to a report narrated by Ibn Haani‘, Imam Ahmad was asked: What do you say about one who does not fear hypocrisy for himself? He said: Who can feel safe from hypocrisy? [Fath al-Baari by Ibn Rajab (1/178, 179)]

-The stance of Abdullah ibn Ubayy is indicative of the danger of love for wealth and status because these caused him to pursue the path of hypocrisy and die in it

-Once the Rasool was passing by and he spoke to him in a harsh manner

Once when the Holy Prophet () was passing on the way Abdullah bin Ubayy spoke to him in harsh words. When the Holy Prophet complained of it to the Sahabi,  Sa'd bin Ubadah; he said:" O Messenger of Allah, don't be hard on him, for when Allah sent you to us we were making a diadem to crown him, and, by God, he thinks that you have robbed him of his kingdom." (Ibn Hisham vol: II, pp. 237-238)

He was a staunch ally of the tribe of Banu Qainuqa

-The tribe that pinned the dress of a Muslim woman in the market and so revealed her AWRA

-They got kicked out of Medina

-but the day they were kicked out, Abdullah Ibn Ubayy displayed his al Walaa Wal Baraa

-His Walaa was to the tribe of Banu Qainuqa

After the Battle of Badr when the Holy Prophet () invaded the Jewish tribe of Bani Qainuqa on their breaking the agreement and un provoked revolt, Abdullah ibn Ubayy stood up in support of them, and holding the Holy Prophet by his armor, said:” These 700 fighters have been helping and protecting me against every enemy; would you cut them down in one morning?  By God, I will not leave you until you pardon my clients." (Ibn Hisham, vol. III, pp. 5l- 52) [Sahih Bukhari (1/18-19)]

-they were the first Jewish tribe to break their treaty with the Prophet ()

Is it not (the case) that every time they make a covenant, some party among them throw it aside? Nay! The truth is most of them believe not. (Al-Baqarah 2:100)

The Prophet set out to fight at Uhud with 3000 men

-while they were on their way he reduced the army to 700 men by causing mutiny that sent 300 men back to Medina

Had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, and they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you, and there are some among you who would have listened to them. And Allah is the All-Knower of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) (At-Tawbah 9:47)

-but Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ told you not to take the hypocrites to the battle field because they will cause discourse and mutiny

-After the incidence at Uhud, the Muslims in Medina became sure he was a 100% Munafiq

-But this man used to go to the Masjid early on Fridays and ascend the Minbar and he would say this is the truth which Allah sent to Muhammad (), so why was he going early to the Masjid? Because he was using the Minbar to seek fame and fortune

When he ascended the Minbar, some Muslims dragged him back and said he does not deserve to ascend the Minbar of the prophet so he left the Masjid disgraced

After his treachery at Uhud the common Muslims of Medina came to realize fully that he was certainly a hypocrite and his Companions also were found to be deep in hypocrisy. That is why when on the very first Friday, after the Battle of Uhud, this man stood up as usual to make a speech before the Holy Prophet's Sermon, the people pulled at his garment, saying "Sit down you are not worthy to say such things." That was the first occasion in Medina when this man was publicly disgraced. Thereupon he was so filled with rage that he left the mosque jumping over the heads of the people. At the door of the Mosque some of the Ansar said to him, "What are you doing? Go back and ask the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) to pray for your forgiveness." He retorted "I do not, want him to pray for my forgiveness." (Ibn Hisham, vol. III, p. 111)

-he met some Muslims at the door and they asked him to go seek forgiveness from the Prophet but he refused so he incurred the wrath of Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ on him

-One day the Prophet went to see him ridding on a donkey

-he told the Prophet to get back because the smell of the donkey was disturbing him

Anas reports: “It was suggested to the Prophet () that he should visit Abdullah ibn Ubayy. The Prophet went to see him, riding a donkey, and a number of Muslims went out with him, walking through an area with bad smell. When the Prophet was with him, he said to the Prophet: ‘Stay at a distance. By God, your donkey’s smell is terrible.’ A man from the Ansar said to Abdullah: ‘By God! The stinking of the Prophet’s donkey is more pleasant than your smell.’” (Related by Ahmad, Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

-so some Sahabah told him he was stinker than the Prophet's donkey and because of this incident, Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ revealed the ayah:

And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, but if one of them rebels against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which rebels till it complies with the Command of Allah; then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who are equitable. (Al-Hujurat 49:9)

Why is it that the companions of the Prophet and Abdullah Ibn Ubbay had a fist fight and Allah still pronounced both parties Muslims?

This is because some of the people who were following him didn’t know he was a Munafiq, the only way you can detect a Munafiq is by being pious

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ said:

O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion [(to judge between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)], and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty. (Al-Anfal 8:29)

-With Taqwa Allah will grant you Furqan but without Taqwa you will have no Furqan and will be ripped off

-Another treachery of Abdullah ibn Ubayy is that, at the battle of Banu Mustalliq, two Sahabah argued over a well; one from Muhajiroon and the other from Ansar so Abdullah said look, these Muhajiroon are paupers

Narrated Jabir: 'We were in the company of the Prophet () in a Ghazwa. A large number of emigrants joined him and among the emigrants there was a person who used to play jokes (or play with spears); so he (jokingly) stroked an Ansari man on the hip. The Ansari got so angry that both of them called their people. The Ansari said, "Help, O Ansar!" And the emigrant said "Help, O emigrants!"  The Prophet came out and said, "What is wrong with the people (as they are calling) this call of the period of Ignorance?”Then he said, "What is the matter with them?" So he was told about the stroke of the emigrant to the Ansari. The Prophet () said, "Stop this (i.e. appeal for help) for it is an evil call." Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul (a hypocrite) said, "The emigrants have called and (gathered against us); so when we return to Medina, surely, the more honourable people will expel there from the meaner," Upon that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Prophet ()! Shall we not kill this evil person (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul)?" The Prophet said, "(No), lest the people should say that Muhammad () used to kill his companions."' [Al-Bukhari (4/183) and Muslim (2584)]

-they came to Medina and we took them in and gave them everything so when we go back to Medina we will drive them out

-when the Prophet asked Abdullah ibn Ubayy, he swore that he didn’t say it.

-Because Zayd ibn Arqam was a small boy then and this is why Allah revealed surah munafiqoon

-Another incident is when he slandered Aisha, accusing her of having an affair

-he did this because of the vendetta he carried against the Prophet () because if you accuse a woman of committing zina; this is embarrassing for the man

-After the incident of Zayd ibn Arqam, Umar became very upset and he asked for permission to chop off the head of Abdullah ibn Ubayy because Umar did not believe his wallahi

-he believed the boy but the Prophet said to Umar, do you want the people to say Muhammad chopped off the head of his own people this is because 1/3 of the people of medina listen to Abdullah ibn Ubayy and he used to climb the mimbar and speak, so it was not wise to kill him

These were some of the treacheries of the leader of the munafiqoon in Medina

AYAH 1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَكَاذِبُونَ

When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad ), they say: "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah." Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed. (Al-Munafiqun 63:1)

 This ayah is very important, because Allah said they recite the shahadah but I throw it back to their faces like a dirty rag

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ refused their shahadah because they recited it with their tongues but it didn’t come from their hearts in order for Allah to accept your shahahdah, you have to be convinced with it in your heart then say with your tongue and your limbs implement it

-therefore emaan is conviction with the heart, declaration with the tongue and implementation with the limbs. So emaan is of three dimensions and this is why Allah threw their shahadah back on their faces and there is nothing like a non-practising Muslim

When some POWs were taking their shahadah, the sahabah were concerned what if their shahadah was fake

Then Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ revealed;

But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)

THE SHAHADAH HAS 7 CONDITIONS:

-so this is the evidence that there is nothing called a non-practising Muslim if one condition is missing, you join the ranks of the Munafiqeen and Allah is going to throw your shahadah back on your face like a dirty rag

7 CONDITIONS OF SHAHADAH

1. ILM

-knowledge of what the shahadah means

And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth (i.e. believed in the Oneness of Allah, and obeyed His Orders), and they know (the facts about the Oneness of Allah)  (Az-Zukhruf 43:86)

-if a person recites the shahadah but does not know what he is reciting, will have it rejected

2. CERTAINTY

-if a person is not convinced about the pillars of Islam or its principles, he is a FIVE star kaafir

Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful. (Al-Hujurat 49:15)

-If somebody should give you zam zam water to drink, you will drink it because it is pure but if it is mixed with urine, you won’t drink it

-therefore when you have doubts in your heart it is contaminated and it no longer becomes pure and this makes you Munafiq

In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. (Al-Baqarah 2:10)

3. TO BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND TESTIFY WITH YOUR TONGUE

Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Al Imran 3:18)

-When the Prophet's uncle was on his death bed, the prophet told him to testify to the shahadah, but Abu Jahl was there and he asked him not to recite it. The way a person died is very important

Can you imagine if Lady Diana or Michael Jakson had a Muslim janaza?

-if a celebrity dies on Islam it has an impact on the people and Abu Talib was a celebrity and this was why Abu Jahl was bent on making him not recite the shahadah before he died and so he died a kaafir and this devastated the Prophet.

So Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ revealed:

Verily! You (O Muhammad ) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided. (Al-Qasas 28:56)

-Because his uncle was a helper of Islam, he liked him so if you have a kaafir family member who is sympathiser to Islam and you like them, you didn’t do anything wrong

-Abu Talib believed in his heart Muhammad () was a Prophet yet he died a kaafir because he didn’t testify with his tongue

-Even Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ  testified to it so who are you not to

Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Aali Imran 3:18)

4. TO SURRENDER TO QUR'AN AND SUNNAH

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ said:

O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy (Al-Baqarah 2:208)

Don’t have one foot in Islam and one foot in Christianity

-I have seen Muslims in dreadlocks

Don’t have one foot in Islam and the other in feminism

-don’t be a Munafiq, enter Islam with both feet

It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)

You are not allowed to believe in democracy, if you do, Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ will disgrace you. See how Allah disgraced the Muslim brotherhood of Egypt because they lied on Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ and claimed shura is democracy

But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad ) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. (An-Nisa 4:65)

-The conditions of shahadah were extracted from the Qur'an

5. TO CONDEMN ALL SHADES OF FALSEHOOD

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ Said:

Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful. (Aali Imran 3:104)

-some people condemn the shirk of palm readers, grave worshipping etc but they will never condemn the shirk of the qusoor-the palaces

-all of you know which group I am referring to even without calling these low life scum’s because you are so clever and intelligent, you can put the pieces of the puzzle together

The evidence for this condition of shahadah is:

On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree (RA) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah () say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.”

[Sahih Muslim (1/69) No. 49, Musnad Ahmad (3/10) No. 11088, Sunan Ibn Majah (5/145) No. 4013, Sunan Tirmidhi (4/469) No. 2172, Sunan Abu Dawud (1/296) No. 1140, Sunan al-Nasa'i (8/112) No. 5009]

Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful. (Al Imran 3:104)

-Because some people say we have to be in a large group to command good and forbid evil, I quote to you this ayah and the hadith says if you see an evil act stop it with your hand etc, and the weakest level is to hate it in your heart. You don’t need a large group to do that, My shaikhs explained the hadith above as,

-if you have the power to stop the munkar with your hands, you are not allowed to avoid that and condemn with your tongue and if you have the power to condemn the munkar with your tongue, don’t hate it in your heart and because of this imam Ahmad said, if the scholar keeps quiet about the truth, how will the people learn and because of this he was given the title, the imam of ASWJ

-Some people say if you condemn the munkar with your tongue you are spreading fitna but we have already fallen into fitna because the munkar is widespread

6. SINGULARITY OF DEVOTION

-to worship Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ alone without ascribing partners unto Him when you look at this shahadah, immediately you know the goofy Soofis nullified their shahadah because they don’t practice this condition

-because they are grave worshippers just like the Berailvis. When you study these conditions of shahadah, you realise only few are Muslims

Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)

-They are called so because they recited iyaka na3budu wa iyyaka nasta3een in Surah Fatiha but went to the graves to worship, so they lied and they are Muslims by culture not by conviction

-You are impressed with this ayah am sure

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: "When some people asked Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal that they felt uneasy about criticizing people, he replied: "If I were to remain silent, how would the ignorant masses know the truth from falsehood?" [Majmoo' al-Fataawaa (28/231)]

-but am going to bring you another ayah which is the knockout punch for the Berailvis

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ said:

If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the All ­Knower (of each and everything). (Fatir 35:14)

A dead man can hear but Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ blocks them from hearing shirk

-we believe the dead man can hear and feel but Allah said they can’t grant any request

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah () said, "O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol that is worshipped. The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets as places of prostration was terrible." [Muwatta Malik (1/223) No. 570, Musannaf Abdur Razzaq (1/406) No. 1587, Musnad Ahmad (2/246) No. 7352]

-the Prophet said the grave is an idol so if you worship it, you are an idol worshipper

The ideology of the murji is that a mushrik can be a Muslim because the mushrik did not know better when worshipping false deity so they give excuse of ignorance for shirk of ibaadah and the evidence they bring is the hadith above but we are talking about shirk not zina

-Do you think we are stupid Muslims?

On the authority of Qataada who said: “A woman slept with her male servant and cited an ayah of the Holy Qur'an as her evidence for her action. ‘…or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess…’ (An-Nur 24:31). This woman was brought to Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) by a group of Sahabas who complained to Umar that she misinterpreted a verse from the Holy Qur’an and slept with her male servant. Umar commanded that the male servant should be sent away for a year and he was beheaded. He then said to the woman you are now haram for all Muslims.” [Tafseer al-Tabari (9/586) No. 11277]

Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A man who never did any good deed, said that if he died, his family should burn him and throw half the ashes of his burnt body in the earth and the other half in the sea, for by Allah, if Allah should get hold of him, He would inflict such punishment on him as He would not inflict on anybody among the people. But Allah ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and similarly ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then Allah said (to the recreated man), 'Why did you do so?' The man replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very well).' So Allah forgave him." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith 597]

-Nothing in this hadith mentioned the man committed shirk, so these murjia bring such hadith and think they can fool you

-This man in the above hadith didn’t know about the 99 names of Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ and Attributes so he didn’t commit shirk

Therefore this hadith too is no hujjah that a Mushrik can be a Muslim

We will bring evidences against them

And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this." (Al-A'raf 7:172)

Some people are cannibals

-Allah pronounced them as kuffaar and in the Qur'an Allah pronounced some people as kaafir before the hujjah reached them

Those who disbelieve from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and among Al-Mushrikun, were not going to leave (their disbelief) until there came to them clear evidence. (Al-Baiyinah 98:1)  

In the ayah above

-this is the evidence that Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ makes takfir on people even before the hujjah reached them so let me see you reject this

Narrated from Anas (RA) that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah , where is my father?” He said: “In Hell.” When he turned away he called him back and said: “My father and your father are in Hell.” [Sahih Muslim (Vol. 1, pg. 191) No. 203]

-The Prophet said his father is in hellfire even though he died before he was born

-It is your natural instinct to worship one God and don’t listen to the murjia

So set you (O Muhammad ) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism Hanifa (worship none but Allah Alone) Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalq­illah (i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. [Tafsir At­Tabari, Vol 21, Page 41] (Ar-Rum 30:30)

-They have made up their own religion-hislam

 

And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others. (Al-'Ankabut 29:65)

"Suhail said to the Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet called the clerk and said to him, "Write: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 'Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem' (In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful)." Suhail said, "As for الرَّحْمَنِ 'ar-Rahman (Beneficent), by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: بِاسْمِكَ اللهُمَّ 'Bismika Allahumma' (By Your Name O Allah)" [Al-Bukhari (2731) and Muslim (1784)]

-when the prophet was signing the treaty of hudaibiyyah, the kuffar said they don’t want to see Ar Rahman Ar Raheem written so they want only one God written on the paper

-so they went back to their natural instincts and dismissed all the 360 idols in the ka'ba and because of this we do not accept the excuse of ignorance for shirk ibaada

7. TO LOVE AND HATE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH

Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ spoke about this in surah 60:1

O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, this Qur'an, and Muhammad SAW), and have driven out the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and yourselves (from your homeland) because you believe in Allah your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, and then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path. (Al-Mumtahinah 60:1)

Al Walaa Wal Baraa is called Millat Ibrahim and it is called so because of surah 60:4

Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever, until you believe in Allah Alone," except the saying of Ibrahim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allah) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allah." Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return, (Al-Mumtahinah 60:4)

-Not until you love what Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ Loves and hate what He hates, you are a fake Muslim

-These people have emaan and that is why their Walaa and Baraa is for Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ

You (O Muhammad ) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad ), even though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful. (Al-Mujadilah 58:22)

Why did I give you the SEVEN conditions of shahadah tonight?

-This is because Allah سبحانه وتعالىٰ said in the first ayah He rejected the shahadah of the hypocrites back on their dirty faces.
