In the previous lesson, the chapter titled ‘what a muslim should stay away from’ was covered. The seven deadly sins were mentioned, as well as disobedience to the parents, making false testimony and backbiting. The definition of major sins and minor sins were covered, and how a major sin can be recognised. In this lesson, Ustaadh Abu Humayd covers the topics of sihr (magic) & its types, killing and taking the wealth of orphans. Sihr (magic) is disbelief in Allaah. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (May Allaah have mercy upon him) said a magician cannot be a magician except that he falls into disobeying Allaah and into obeying the devils. Allaah says in the Quran: وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ “And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah (i.e. Muhammad Peace be upon him) confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!” (Al-Baqarah: 101) Allaah then says in the next ayah: وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَا تَتْلُوا۟ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَٰنَ ۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ “They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved” For detailed notes and further benefits, please visit learnaboutislam.co.uk
