The Greater Understanding

Lagerstatus:

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creation. We praise Him, seek His Aid and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from the evil of our actions. Whosoever Allah guides, there is none to misguide him, and whosoever Allah misguides there is none to guide him.I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped in truth but Allah alone without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Final Messenger.Respected reader, the book before you is a translation of the transcribed text ‘al-Fiqhul Akbar’ delivered by the noble and eminent Islamic scholar Saleh ibn Fawzaan ibn Abdullah al-Fawzaan. The precious lesson encapsulated within this book focuses on and analyses the Prophetic narration of Mu’aawiyaht, wherein he reported that the Prophet (saw) said:

“من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدين”

 “Whoever Allah wishes good for, He gives him understanding of the Religion.”

In this short lecture, Sheikh al-Fawzaan uses this narration as an axis upon which the whole dissertation rotates to indicate the importance of knowledge and understanding in the Religion of Islam. Furthermore, he uses this Prophetic narration as a proof to show that whosoever Allah does not wish good for, He does not give him understanding of the Religion.

 In addition, the Sheikh defines the different levels of knowledge and understanding in the Religion and explains the means of attaining its different forms. At the same time he clarifies both the dangers and the consequences of those who do not seek knowledge or strive to gain understanding of the Religion. Therefore, I ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to reward the Sheikh for his great efforts and the service he provides to Allah’s Religion.

I would also like to thank all those, after thanking Allah I, who were involved in this project for their aid and support in the translation, organization and printing of this book.  I ask Him, the Exalted to make this and all our actions purely for His Noble face, that He provides us all with understanding of the Religion, that He shows us the truth for what it truly is and allows us to follow it and shows us falsehood for what is truly is and distances us from it.   And may Allah send peace, salutations and blessings upon His Final Messenger Muhammad and upon his family, Companions and all those who follow his methodology until the Day of Judgment.
