TERMS OF SENTENCE لا إله إلا الله
Yourdakwah - The sentence la ilaha illallah has seven conditions which say the sentence is invalid or imperfect unless the conditions are fulfilled. And a servant must cling to him without losing one of the seven conditions, namely:
1. Al-'Ilmu (knowledge)
That is knowing the meaning of the sentences of Laa ilaha illallah in terms of nafi (negation) and itsbat (determination) and knowing all the consequences. If one knows that Allah is the only one who has the right to be worshiped and knows that worshiping other than Him is vanity, then he practices that knowledge, meaning he knows the meaning of the sentence. Allah says:
فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
"So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And Allah knows of your movement and your resting place."
The Messenger of Allah said:
من مات وهو يعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة
"Whoever dies and knows that there is no god who has the right to be worshiped except Allah, then he enters heaven."
(HR. Muslim)
2. Al-Yaqin (belief)
That is to say the sentence He ilaha illallah with confidence and steadfastness, without any doubts exhaled by demons, jinn and humans. In fact, he must say it with a firm belief and believe the consequences.
Allah says:
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوا
"The believers are only the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger and then doubt not but strive with their properties and their lives in the cause of Allah . It is those who are the truthful. "
The Messenger of Allah said:
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأني رول الله لا يلقى الله بهما عبد غير شاك فيهما إلا دخل الجنة
"I testify that no god has the right to be worshiped except Allah and I (Muhammad) are His messengers, not a servant meets Allah with these two sentences without any doubt but he will enter heaven"
(HR. Muslim)
3. Al-Qabul (acceptance)
That is to accept all the consequences of the sentence la ilaha illallah with heart and verbal, justifying and believing all that was conveyed by the Prophet, and accepting it without the slightest refusal. Allah says:
آمن الرسول بما أنزل إليه من ربه والمؤمنون كل آمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله لا نفرق بين أحد من رسله وقالوا سمعنا وأطعنا غفرانك ربنا وإليك المصير
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."
Included in the category of refusing and not accepting, if someone opposes or rejects some shar'i laws or restrictions, such as those who oppose the law of stealing, adultery, permitting polygamy, inheritance law and others.
Allah says:
وما كان لمؤمن ولا مؤمنة إذا قضى الله ورسوله أمرا أن يكون لهم الخيرة من أمرهم ومن يعص الله ورسوله فقد ضل ضلالا مبينا
It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.
4. Al-Inqiyad (subject)
That is surrender and submit to what is contained in this sincere sentence. The difference between inqiyad (subject) and qabul (acceptance), namely that qabul is a statement of the truth of the meaning of the sentence in speech, while inqiyad is following it with action. If someone knows the meaning of la ilaha illallah, believes and accepts it, but he does not submit, surrender and practice the consequences of his knowledge, then this is not useful to him. Allah says:
وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ
"And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped. "
فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجا مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليما
"But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission."
5. As-Shidqu (honest)
That is honest with God when saying the sentence la ilaha illallah, that is to say honest in speech and according to the verbal and heart. Allah says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
"O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true. "
The Messenger of Allah said:
من لا لا إله إلا الله صادقا من قلبه دخل الجنة
"Whoever utters the sentence of la ilaha illallah honestly from within his heart then he enters heaven."
(Narrated by Ahmad in his Musnad).
If someone recites the syahadah verbally but his heart denies it, then this cannot save him, even he belongs to the hypocrites. Including dishonesty, if someone deceives the teachings brought by the Messenger of Allah or in part, because Allah has commanded us to obey, justify and accompany him with obedience to Him. Allah ta'ala said:
قل أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول ...
Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification." "
6. Al-Ikhlash (sincere)
That is sincere when saying the sentence la ilaha iollallah by not expecting except the pleasure of Allah without the slightest stain of shirk.
Allah ta'ala said:
ألا لله الدين الخالص
"Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever. "
وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ
"And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion."
Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim from the hadith 'Utban, that the Messenger of Allah said:
فإن الله قد حرم على النار من لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
"Verily Allah has forbidden hell for those who say the sentence La ilaha illallah because they seek the pleasure of Allah."
7. Al-Mahabbah (love)
That is to love the sentence and the content of this great sentence. And the point of this love is the love of Allah and His Messenger, also the love of what is loved by Allah and His Messenger like certain places like Mecca, Medina and mosques in general, certain times like the month of Ramadan, the first 10 days of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and others, certain figures such as prophets, apostles, angels, honest people, martyrs and pious people, certain deeds such as prayer, charity, fasting and Hajj , certain sayings like remembrance, Dhikr and recitation of the Koran.
Including loving Allah is giving priority to all that is loved by Allah for everything that is loved, desired and desired by him, and hates everything that Allah hates, like the unbelievers, kufr, ungodliness and immorality.
Allah says:
يا أيها الذين آمنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتي الله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه أذلة على المؤمنين أعزة على الكافرين يجاهدون في سبيل الله ولا يخافون لومة لائم
"O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. "
Allahu a’lam.
