الأصول الثلاثة - الشرح الثاني المجلس الأول

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

And peace and blessings be upon the most complete and perfect messenger, a mercy to the worlds.

Our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions altogether

and those who follow them in goodness until the Day of Judgment, and include us with them in Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful

O Allah, teach us what benefits us, elevate us, and benefit us with what You have taught us

and increase us in knowledge and forgive us, O Lord of the worlds. As for

after this, this is the first session of

the sessions explaining

the message of the three fundamental principles and their proofs by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on him

This message is an important one, for despite its brevity and few words

it is a message of great significance, and it suffices that it addresses the three questions

that every person will be asked in their grave

Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?

So whoever does not realize the meanings of these three principles

Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?

will not be saved on the Day of Resurrection

Therefore, it is essential for every Muslim, let alone a student of knowledge, to pay attention to this message

And I have heard this message in full from Sheikh Mushan bin Zaid Al-Harthi

may Allah protect him, and he read it to Sheikh Sulayman bin Hamdan, may Allah have mercy on him

and he read it to Sheikh Hamad bin Faris, may Allah have mercy on him

and Sheikh Hamad read it to Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Hassan bin Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Hassan read it to his grandfather, the author of this message, Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

So there are four men between us and the author of this message

Sheikh Mushan from Sheikh Sulayman bin Hamdan from Sheikh Hamad

bin Faris from Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Hassan from his grandfather Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on them all

Please, in the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.

O Allah, forgive us, our Sheikh, and the believers, both men and women, and the Muslims, both men and women, the living and the dead.

After that, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on him, said in his book, the three fundamentals.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, know, may Allah have mercy on you, that we must learn four issues.

The first is knowledge, which is the knowledge of Allah, the knowledge of His Prophet, and the knowledge of the religion of Islam with evidence.

The second is to act upon it, the third is to call to it, and the fourth is to be patient with harm in it, and the religion is His saying, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised one another to truth and advised one another to patience.

Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said this Surah, when Allah revealed it, is a proof against His creation, and it would suffice them.

Al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'The chapter of knowledge comes before speech and action.'

And the religion is His saying, 'Know that there is no deity except Allah and seek forgiveness for your sin,' so he began with knowledge before speech and action.

Yes, the author, may Allah have mercy on him, began this message with the Basmala, saying, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.'

This is in emulation of the Noble Book and the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

For the Prophet, peace be upon him, would not begin a word or a message except with the Basmala.

Therefore, it is appropriate for a person, if he wants to start something significant, to say it, saying, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.'

And the preposition 'b' is implied according to the context.

So if you want to open a book, you say, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' meaning I read.

And if you want to read the Quran, you say, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' meaning I read by His name.

And if you want to eat, you say it, meaning 'In the name of Allah, I eat,' and so on.

And the Sheikh did not innovate after the Basmala by praising Him, and there is no harm in that.
