In the Name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Know, may Allaah have mercy upon you, that we must

learn four basic matters:

First: Knowledge, which is to know Allaah, His

Messenger (r) and the religion of Islaam, with the

supportive evidences.

Second: Application of this knowledge.

Third: Calling people to it.

Fourth: Persevering patiently through any harm that

might afflict you while calling others to it.

The evidence for this is the saying of Allaah, which

means: ÐBy Al-`Asr [the time]. Verily, man is in loss,

Except those who believe [in Islaamic Monotheism] and

do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another

to the truth [i.e., order one another to perform all kinds

of good deeds which Allaah has ordained, and abstain

from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allaah has

forbidden], and recommend one another to patience

[for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may

encounter in Allaah's Cause during preaching His

religion of Islaamic Monotheism or Jihaad].Ñ (Al-

ÒAsr:1-3) Imaam ShaafiÓi, may Allaah have mercy upon

him, said: ÐIf nothing else was revealed other than this

chapter, it would have sufficed people.Ñ Imaam

Bukhaari, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

ÐKnowledge comes before action, because Allaah says

(that which means): ÒSo, know [O Muhammad] that Laa

ilaaha illallaah [none has the right to be worshipped

but Allaah], and ask forgiveness for your sin.Ó

(Muhammad:19) So Allaah mentioned knowledge before

speech and performance of deeds.Ñ

Know also that every Muslim should learn three

matters and apply them:

First: Allaah has created us and is sustaining us; He

did not leave us unattended, rather, He sent us

messengers. Whosoever obeys Allaah (by following His

messengers) will be admitted into Paradise, and

whosoever disobeys Him will be thrown into the Hellfire.

The evidence for this is the saying of Allaah which

means: ÐVerily, We have sent to you [O mankind] a

Messenger [Muhammad] to be a witness over you, as

We did send a Messenger [Moses] to Pharaoh. But

Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger [Moses]; so We

seized him with a severe punishment.Ñ (Al-

Muzzammil:15-16)

Second: Allaah is not pleased when partners are

associated with Him in worship, neither angels who are

near to Him, nor messengers who were sent to mankind.

The evidence for this is the saying of Allaah which

means: ÐAnd the mosques are for Allaah [Alone], so

invoke not anyone along with Allaah.Ñ (Al-Jinn:18)

Third: Whosoever obeys the Messenger (r), and

singles out Allaah in worship must not show loyalty (nor

have any love) towards those who oppose Allaah and His

Messenger (r), even if they were the closest of their

relatives. The evidence is the saying of Allaah which

means: ÐYou [O Muhammad rrr ] will not find any people

who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making

friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His

Messenger [Muhammad rrr ], even if 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 Rooh [proofs, light and

true guidance] from Himself. And He will admit them to

Gardens [Paradise] under which rivers flow, to dwell

therein [forever]. Allaah is pleased with them, and they

with Him. They are the party of Allaah. Verily, it is the

party of Allaah that will be the successful.Ñ (Al-

Mujaadilah:22)

Know that the religion and the way of Prophet

Ibraaheem (u) is to purely worship Allaah alone, and

this is the command from Allaah to all of mankind. It is

for this reason Allaah created them, as He says that which

means: ÐAnd I [Allaah] created not the jinn and

mankind except that they should worship Me.Ñ (Adh-

Dhaariyaa: 56) To worship Me means Òto single Me out

in worshipÓ. The greatest matter with which Allaah

commanded the creation is to believe in His Unity, which

entails offering all worship to Allaah alone (Tawheed);

and the worst matter that Allaah prohibited is associating

partners with Him in worship (Shirk). The evidence for

this is the saying of Allaah which means: ÐWorship

Allaah and join none with Him [in worship].Ñ (An-

NisaaÓ:36)

The Three Fundamental Principles

If you are asked regarding the three fundamental

principles which every Muslim should know, you

should reply: ÐThat the slave knows his Lord, his

religion (Islaam), and his Prophet, Muhammad ( rrr ).Ñ

The First Fundamental Principle: The Knowledge of

the Lord

If you are asked, ÐWho is your Lord,Ñ you should

reply: ÐMy Lord is Allaah, the One Who nurtured me and

all that exists with His bounties. He is my deity; I have

no deity other than him.Ñ The evidence for this is the

saying of Allaah which means: ÐAll the praises and

thanks be to Allaah, the Lord of the `Aalameen

[mankind, jinn and all that exists].Ñ (Al-Faatihah:2) All
