1. Question

The author, رحمه الله, mentioned the Verses:
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّنِي بَرَاء مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
إِلَّا الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيَهْدِينِ
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةً بَاقِيَةً فِي عَقِبِهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And (remember) when Ibrahîm (Abraham) said to his father and his people: “Verily, I am innocent of what you worship, Except Him (i.e. I worship none but Allâh Alone) Who did create me, and verily, He will guide me.” And he made it [i.e. Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh Alone)] a Word lasting among his offspring (True Monotheism), that they may turn back (i.e. to repent to Allâh or receive admonition). (Az-Zukhruf 43:26-28)
Benefits from the explanation of these Verses included (select all that apply):

Prophet Ibraaheem عليه السلام is called the “father of the Prophets,” and the statement of Tawheed remained amongst the Prophets that came after him, and they are from his offspring.

Question 2 of 6

2. Question

What are some of the benefits derived from the Verse mentioned by the author رحمه الله (select all that apply):

قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلَمَةٍ سَوَاء بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلاَّ نَعْبُدَ إِلاَّ اللّهَ وَلاَ نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُولُواْ اشْهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ

Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” (Aali Imran 3:64)

The permissibility of modern-day “interfaith dialogue” in which every religion is presented as something acceptable to follow and believe in as a means to enter Paradise.
That whoever obeys the scholars, leaders, figure-heads, seniors, etc. in making matters halaal and/or haraam in opposition to what Allaah has legislated, then the one who does this has taken those people as lords besides Allaah.
The importance of seeking knowledge of the religion, as some people declare matters as halaal and/or haraam in opposition to what Allaah has legislated, due to their ignorance of the religion and due to relying on baseless traditions.
It is permissible to obey the scholars, leaders, figure-heads, seniors, etc. in making matters halaal and/or haraam in any and all situations. If the matter turned out to be in opposition to what Allaah legislated, then the blame only falls upon the leader, not the follower. Furthermore, if the leader was correct, then the follower has two rewards; and if the leader was incorrect, then the follower still receives one reward.

3. Question

What are some of the benefits derived from the Verse mentioned by the author رحمه الله (select all that apply):

لَقَدْ جَاءكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad ﷺ) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to Allâh, and beg Him to pardon and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the punishment of the Hell-fire), for the believers (he ﷺ is) full of pity, kind, and merciful. (At-Tawbah 9:128)

The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ was a human being, sent with revelation from Allaah, as a mercy to mankind.
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ is described with the attributes of kindness and mercy (رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيم) but these attributes are not comparable to the kindness and mercy of Allaah.
It is not permissible to refer to a person as kind, merciful (رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيم) as this is resembling the creation to the Creator (tashbeeh).
The creation and the Creator may share a name or attribute with regards to its wording; however, they do not share in the reality of the name/attribute as the Names and Attributes of Allaah are perfect and not comparable to the creation.
It is from extremism and deviance to deny the Names and Attributes of Allaah.
It is from extremism and deviance to liken the attributes of Allaah to the creation.
It is permissible to rely on the statements of philosophers in matters of religion and ‘aqeedah, especially if the philosophers were from ancient Greece, as they had a vast and advanced civilization in their time.

And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât: and that is the right religion. (Al-Baiyinah 98:5)

That Salaah and Zakaah became obligatory upon the Believers in year 18 AH.

Question 6 of 6

6. Question

What proof did the author, Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab رحمه الله, bring as a proof for the obligation of fasting in Ramadan?

فَكُلِي وَاشْرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيْنًا فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِي إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا "So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allâh) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'" (Maryam 19:26)
كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ، إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، وَلَخَلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Allah said), 'Every good deed of Adam's son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.' Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk." (Saheeh al-Bukhaaree)
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ يُرِيدُ اللّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُواْ الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ اللّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ The month of Ramadân in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadân i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu-Akbar; Allâh is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadân and Shawwâl] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him. (Al-Baqarah 2:185)
