Third Condition: al-Qabool - Acceptance Acceptance of what this statement necessitates is with the heart and the tongue. Allaah -Azza wa Jal - narrates to us the news of what preceded regarding those who were previously saved and regarding the punishment of those who rejected and refused to accept this statement. As Allaah –Ta’ala – said: [Zukhruf 23-25] Allaah -Ta’ala- said: > [Yunus: 103] Allaah -Ta’ala- said: > [Room 47] He -Subhanahu wa Ta’ala - informed us of what He promised to those who accept ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ of reward and what He has prepared of punishment for the one who rejects ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ As Allaah -Ta’ala- said: > [Saaffat: 22-36] Allaah -Ta’ala- made the cause of and the reason for their punishment their arrogance towards ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ and their belying of those who came with it. So, they did not negate what Allaah negated and they did not affirm what Allaah affirmed, rather they said rejecting and proudly: > [Saad: 5-7] And here they said : Then Allaah -Azza wa Jal – refuted them and turned that back on them via His Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - and He said: [Saaffat: 37] to the end of the Aayaat. Then He said about those before them: > [Saaffat: 40-43] to the end of the Aayaat. And Allaah -Ta’ala- said: > [Naml: 89] And in the Saheeh on the authority of Abu Musa –RadhiAllaahu anhu- that the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - said: ‘The like of what Allaah sent me with of guidance and knowledge is like heavy rainfall which poured onto the ground. There was some land which was fertile which absorbed the water and many plants and grass began to grow. There was some land which was arid but it held the water and Allaah made the people benefit by it, so they drank from it, used the water and used it for agriculture. There was some other land which was affected by the water but was flat land where nothing would grow. It did not hold the water nor did it allow plants to grow. That is the example of the one who has understanding of the Deen and benefits from what Allaah sent me with, so he learns it and teaches it and the example of he who cannot raise his head due to it and does not accept the guidance of Allaah with which I have been sent.’
