10 There are many things from actions and statements and belief that nullify one’s Islam, How many ofthem were mentioned by Shaykh Saleh as Saleh? What were they?
There were TEN nullifier of Islam mentioned, and they are as follows:
First: Shirk (associating partners) in the worship of Allaah Allaah says: "Verily, Allaah does not forgivethat partners be associated with Him in worship (Shirk), but He forgives what is less than that to whom Hewills." [Surah An-Nisaa: 116]
And He says: "Verily, the one who mixes partners in worship with Allaah (Shirk), then Paradise has beenmade forbidden for him and his final abode will be the Hellfire And the wrongdoers will not have anyhelpers (in Hell)." [Surah Al-Maa'idah: 72]
What falls into this is supplicating and invoking the deceased, seeking assistance from them, as well asmaking oaths to them and offering sacrificial animals to them
Second: Whoever places intermediaries between himself and Allaah, asking them to intercede on his behalf,and relying on them, has committed disbelief according to the unanimous agreement of the scholars
Trang 4Third: Whoever does not hold the polytheists to be disbelievers, or has doubts about their disbelief orconsiders their ways and beliefs to be correct, has committed disbelief.
Fourth: Whoever believes that some guidance other than that of the Prophet's (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam) is more complete than his guidance and that someone else's judgement is better than his judgement,such as those who prefer the judgement of the Tawaagheet (pl of Taaghoot; false deities/religions) over hisjudgement, then he is a disbeliever
Fifth: Whoever hates something that the Messenger came with, even though he may act on it, has
disbelieved, based on Allaah's saying: "That is because they disliked what Allaah sent down, so He nullifiedtheir (good) deeds." [Surah Muhammad: 9]
Sixth: Whoever mocks or ridicules any part of the Messenger's Religion or its rewards or punishments hascommitted an act of disbelief The proof for this is Allaah's statement: "Say: 'Was it Allaah and His versesand His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have disbelieved after having had faith."[Surah At-Tawbah: 65-66]
Seventh: Sorcery, which includes magic spells that causes a person to hate (sarf) [2] or love ('atf) [3]someone/something So whoever performs it or is pleased with it being done, has committed disbelief Theproof for this is Allaah's statement: "And neither of these two (angels) would teach anyone until they hadfirst said to them: 'We are only a trial (for the people), so do not commit disbelief.'" [Surah Al-Baqarah:102]
Eighth: Supporting and assisting the polytheists against the Muslims The proof for this is Allaah's
statement: "And whoever amongst you takes them (i.e the disbelievers) as allies and protectors then he isindeed from among them Verily, Allaah does not guide a wrong-doing [4] people." [Surah Al-Maa'idah:51]
Ninth: Whoever believes that it is permitted for some people to be free of (implementing) the Sharee'ah(revealed laws) of Muhammad (i.e Islaam), then he is a disbeliever, according to Allaah's statement: "Andwhoever seeks a Religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted from him and in the Hereafter, he will
be from among the losers." [Surah Aali 'Imraan: 85]
Tenth: Turning away from Allaah's Religion, not learning it or implementing it (is an act of disbelief) Theproof for this is Allaah's saying: "And who does more wrong [5] than he who is reminded [6] of the ayaat(signs/verses) of his Lord, then turns away [7] from them Verily, We shall extract retribution [8] from thecriminals." [Surah As-Sajdah: 22]

- those who resides in town
- it should be done on time
- for the residence it is binding
- this prayer is preceded by 2 khutbahs as the prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam did this way
- it is considered as Jama’ah as long as there are 3 legally responsible men are present, the requirement
of 40 men is not correct because the hadith is weak
