Important Lessons for Every Muslim - 35
from Shari’ah Classes in Canberra Hosted by Ismail Jabi
Lesson 35 - The categories of shirk - Part 3 From the matters which should necessitate fear of falling into shirk is that the Prophet ﷺ considered shirk being more subtle than the footsteps of an ant. Also from the matters which should necessitate fear of falling into shirk is that the Prophet ﷺ feared showing off in worship (a form of minor shirk) more than he feared upon his Ummah the great fitnah of the Dajaal. Taking photos and videos on a smartphone of acts of worship has greatly facilitated showing off in worship, and can be considered as a great fitnah. The Prophet ﷺ taught his Ummah a du'aa to protect them from all forms of shirk: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ O Allah! I seek refuge in you lest I associate anything with you knowingly, and I seek your forgiveness for what I do not know. [Bukhari - al-Adab al-Mufrad - Sahih] Lesson Date: 08/10/2020
