Clarity in Religion
Transcript From Today's MPUBS Tele-Lecture:
"From The Distinguishing Qualities of Salafiyyah Is Clarity"
By Shaykh Muhammad Ramzaan al-Haajiree (حفظه الله
The Message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is based on clarity.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left us upon clarity - even its night is as clear as its day.
The problem is with the people in the gray areas - those who are unclear and they go back and forth. He fluctuates and changes his colors, so beware of those who are double faced - rather multi-faced. Each group thinks he is with them.
Leaving clarity is the beginning of destruction.
It is an affair that is mandatory and relates to worship. So it is not optional, rather it is mandatory.
A person who clings to the Qur'aan and Sunnah does not fluctuate. And this is the Religion of Allah, and a person seeks with this the Face of Allah.
A person who fluctuates is like a feather and gets blown wherever the wind takes him.
A person who is firm and clear with regards to the Names and Attributes of Allah, between Sunnah and bid'ah and other affairs, Allah has commanded him to be firm upon what he has been commanded with.
So anybody who opposes the command of Allah will be punished; and also those who oppose the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Likewise, the person who follows the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is clear in his call. Therefore, the Companions followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in full clarity.
The Messenger of Allah's ﷺ call with regard to the first person of bid'ah (Dhul Khuwaysarah) was clear - that from the progeny of this man will come a people who you will deem your prayer as being insignificant as compared to theirs and your fasts as being insignificant as compared to their fasting. The Prophet ﷺ was clear in his warning against this individual.
