Karma Or Qadr?

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

As a Muslim, don't say: Karma

But say:

قدر الله وما شاء فعل

Qadr of Allaah, and He does what He intends.

 

PART 1:

It is not Karma, rather, it is the Qadr of Allaah that we Muslims believe in. Why would the Muslims be so interested in using the terminology which originated from Hinduism/Buddhism?

Affirming al-Istawaa

Answering those who try to misinterprete the statement of Imaam Maalik رحمه الله

Imam Maalik رحمه الله when asked about how Allaah rose over the Throne (Istiwaa’), said: ❝Istawaa’ is known, its manner is unknown, believing in it is obligatory, and asking about it is a Bid`ah (religious innovation).❞

[Majmoo` al-Fataawa of Ibn Taymiyyah (3/58)]

Religion Misunderstood (Poem)

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

This is a poem about the mental condition and the understanding of the religion by many who claim to be practicing Islaam. This is based on an Urdu poem by the prose writer, Altaf Hussain Haali. His book, “Mussadas-e-Haali” was the most famous book of the 20th century in Muslims of India during the reign of the British. The book examines the state of social and moral degradation prevalent in the contemporary Muslim society, for it contained the mistakes and the reasons for the downfall of the Muslim empire in India. This book was used for upraising the morale of Muslims. But in our age this is not limited to India alone, this can be widely applied everywhere, throughout the world, wherever the Muslims live. (Disclaimer: This is not an exact translation but I relied on that extensively with a few additions and modifications).

Whoever has Husn al-Dhann bil-laah (Good thoughts about Allaah) will never be let down

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Even though he was not a Prophet, but due to his firm faith, and strength of his certainty (Quwwatul-Yaqeen), and for having high hope in Allaah سبحانه وتعالى, Juraij was able to reach a very high status.

No one in their common sense would expect an infant (a newborn) to speak in his infancy. If someone saw you talking to a newborn, excepting the infant to speak like a grown up and respond to you, he would think that you are insane. 

When the Qadr of Allaah takes place (i.e. when a calamity befalls), the sight is blinded and the caution is thrown to the wind

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

If Allaah تعالى has written for a thing to happen, will it happen or not happen?

It will happen!

Irrespective of how much one tries and whatever he does, and irrespective of how rich he is and how much he spends to avert it, he cannot avert the Qadr of Allaah, it is impossible!

Look at the story of Moosaa عليه السلام and Fir`aoun. Some of the fortunetellers or those who saw the dream approached Fir`aoun and said to him that your destruction will be at the hands of the child from Banee Israaeel.

The wisdom behind not knowing the future

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

It is from Allaah's mercy that we do not know about our future, or we would have died a thousand deaths (metaphorically) even before the calamity befell us, or our lives would have been miserable just thinking about that which is going to befall us.

Moreover, even if we were given the knowledge of the future, we could not change it because ❝the pens have been lifted and the pages have dried❞.

False visions and dreams of Ikhwaan al-Mufsideen

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Ikhwaan al-Mufsideen and their false visions and dreams:

🚫A) Back in 2013, during the 2nd Egyptian revolt/protest, some "Shaikh" made a claim, saying: "some righteous people in al-Madeenah saw a dream that Jibreel عليه السلام had descended in support of the people who had gathered around the Masjid Raabi`ah Al-Adawiyah (the spot of their protest)."

📑 Note:

1. Who are these "righteous people" who saw the dream?

2. In a narration, it is reported that it is sufficient to consider a person to have lied, who narrates everything that he hears. (or as the Prophet ﷺ had said).

3. How are they sure they saw Jibreel عليه السلام?

4. When Jibreel عليه السلام came to the Companions in a human form, they could not recognize him. And except for the Prophets and Messengers, none has been given permission to see him in his original form.

5. How can Jibreel عليه السلام support a people in an act (protest) which is against the Sunnah?

6. It could have been Shaitaan! Shaitaan came in a human form in support of the Mushrikeen during the battle of Badr.

7. There is no authentic report that any of the Companions ever made a claim of seeing Jibreel عليه السلام in their dreams - neither during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ nor after his demise.

🌴🌴🌴

🚫B) Salman al-Audah made a claim that he saw the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions in his dream, and that he asked the Prophet ﷺ a few questions and he responded to them. Then Salman sought his ﷺ permission to write them down as people have formed many principles and rules in the Deen, and everyone has gone their different ways. And that this writing will help them unite and come back to his Sunnah and the right way. Then he claims that the Prophet ﷺ gave him permission to write and then to also said to present it to him so that he ﷺ could review it and correct the mistakes.

📑 Note:

1. Whoever sees the Prophet ﷺ in his dream - as per the description in the Ahaadeeth - then indeed he has seen him ﷺ. [Saheehain]

2. Anyone who claims to have seen the Prophet ﷺ in a form other than what has been described in the Ahaadeeth has clearly lied. Example: saying that they saw him without a beard.

3. Dreams are the 46th part of Prophethood, and the righteous man will see his dream come true.

4. But no dreams can add or reduce anything from the Sharee`ah as it has been completed and perfected.

5. No one from the Salaf authenticated or unauthenticated a narration based on dreams.

6. No one from the Salaf accepted dreams as Hujjah (proof) in the matters of Sharee`ah.

7. Saying that principles and rules have divided the Ummah is Baatil (falsehood). Rather principles and rules were made based on the Qur'aan and Sunnah, so how can they divide the Ummah?

8. Principles and rules were made to prevent division and to prevent personal interpretations of the Text. Even mathematics has a set of rules: "BODMAS" or "PEMDAS" to limit the answer.

9. The Companions faced many difficulties and differed in some of the issues of Fiqh. But no one said that the Prophet ﷺ corrected it for them or guided them in their dreams.

10. This is one of the methods the Sufees employ. Seeing a good dream is from the 46th part of Nubuwway (Prophethood) and it is a way of receiving glad tidings for the Believers. But what Salman al-`Audah is doing is giving an open invitation to some of the Sufees (the “Awliyaa” and the “Abdaal” among them) to interpolate in the Deen of Allaah as they please. If it is allowed to take knowledge through dreams, then they have more rights to this way of learning. They claim to receive Kashf (visions in the state of wakefulness) and they also claim to receive revelations directly from Allaah, as they say:

حدثني قلبي عن ربي...

"My heart informed me from my Lord…"

We seek Allaah’s refuge from such foolishness.

🌴🌴🌴

🚫C) Now here is the vision of the biggest evil of them all, `Amr Khaalid, the Egyptian speaker, who claimed that in 2011, during the 1st protest, in the Tahreer Square, he saw Allaah! Not the miracles of Allaah, nor His Signs, but Allaah Himself, and not in his dreams, but while he was wide awake and in that Maidaan (Square). And Allaah's refuge is sought from such foolishness.

And he continues that when he was in that Square - in that mix gathering of men and women, young and old, Muslims and Christians - he felt like he was amongst the Angels!

📑 Note:

1. Allaah تعالى mentioned in Surah al-A`raaf, that when Moosaa عليه السلام requested Allaah to show Himself so that he can see Him, Allaah جل وعلا replied: {"You cannot see Me, but look upon the mountain if it stands still in its place then you shall see Me." So when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust, and Moosaa fell down unconscious. Then when he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to You (O Allaah), I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers."}

2. Moosaa عليه السلام could not see Allaah, but this dude could?!

3. Moosaa عليه السلام fell down unconscious, but this dude did not?! Is he stronger than Moosaa عليه السلام?!

4. The mountain collapsed to dust, but this Square is intact till now?!

5. The most pious of people - after the Prophets عليهم السلام - i.e. the Companions, in the best of time, i.e. during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, neither during Laylatul-Qadr nor on the Day of `Arafah - they never made such a claim; yet Allaah appeared to this man, in the worst of situations, where there was intermingling of men and women, boys and girls, Muslims with Christians, dancing and singing!!!

6. In a long Hadeeth about al-Dajjaal, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Bear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allaah عز وجل until he dies." [Saheeh Muslim]

7. Narrated Masrooq: I said to `Aaishah: "O Mother! Did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ see his Lord?" `Aaishah said: "What you have said made my hair stand on end! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar: {A} Whoever tells you that Muhammad ﷺ saw his Lord, is a liar." Then `Aaishah recited the Aayah: {No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquainted with all things.} (6.103) and also the Aayah {It is not fitting for a human being that Allaah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil.} (42.51) `Aaishah further said: {B} "And whoever tells you that the Prophet ﷺ knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar." She then recited: {No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow} (31.34) She added: {C} "And whoever tells you that he ﷺ concealed (some of Allaah's commandments) is a liar." Then she recited: {O Messenger! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord..} (5.67) `Aaishah added. "But the Prophet ﷺ saw Jibreel in his true form twice." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree]

💢💢💢

All this shows that even in this age of advancement and easy availability of knowledge, there are more Juhhaal (ignorant) than ever before. People are seeking information but not the knowledge. Beneficial knowledge is that which guides the person to the Truth and righteous deeds, and not towards such falsehood and ignorance.

The most misused/abused phrases

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

The most misused/abused phrases by the people to cover-up their mistakes:

1 "Only Allaah can judge"

2 "You don't know what is in the heart"

The statements are true but they are intentionally applied (to support) a wrong (cause). [This was said by `Alee رضي الله عنه in his reply to the Khawaarij - Saheeh Muslim]

The first statement was uttered by the Khawaarij against `Alee رضي الله عنه. The Khawaarij denied the role of man in making decisions and forming judgments; whereas, we do indeed have court systems and judges to make judgments. [See the long conversation between Ibn `Abbaas and the Khawaarij]

Levels of al-Yaqeen (Certainty)

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

🚩Al-Yaqeen has three levels:

🌟1. Sure Knowledge (علم اليقين)

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

{Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge} [Surah al-Takaathur (102): 5]

🌟2. Certainty of Sight (عين اليقين)

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

{And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!}  [Surah al-Takaathur (102): 7]

🌟3. True (or absolute) Certainty  (حق اليقين)

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ

{Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty.} [Surah al-Waaqi`ah (56): 95]

📑Example:

🔴1. Your knowledge that there is water in the valley.

🔵2. Seeing the water with your own eyes.

🔴3. Drinking from that water.

📑Another example:

🔵1. When someone tells you that he has honey and you have no reason to doubt him, this is Certainty.

🔴2. He shows it to you, and this increases your certainty.

🔵3. He lets you taste it, and this is the highest level of Certainty.

📑One more example:

🔴1. Our firm belief in the existence of al-Jannah (Paradise) and al-Naar (Fire) - this is Sure Knowledge.

🔵2. On the Day of Judgment, when the Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, and the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the wrongdoers - this is certainty of sight.

🔴3. When people of the Paradise enter the Paradise and the people of the Fire enter the Fire - on that Day it would be True Certainty.

If a person is an expert in swimming, will his children be Olympic champions by default?

Obviously No! Being a child of an expert swimmer does not make the child a good swimmer by default or by birth. The child maybe talented, but to become a good swimmer, he has to go through a lot of training and practice. The same goes for any other sports. 

Muhammad: The Slave of Allaah and His Messenger

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Allaah تعالى says:

﴿قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا﴾

{Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): “I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilaah is One Ilaah (i.e. He [Allaah] is alone worthy of worship). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.”} [Surah al-Kahf (18) 110]

Narrated `Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: ❝Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised (`Eesa) the son of Mary, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allaah and His Messenger.❞

[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3445, 6830)]

Part 1:

Qur’aan: “I am only a man like you”

Hadeeth: “I am only a Slave”

Benefit: Acknowledging the attributes that he ﷺ was a “human” and a “slave”, and never to be worshiped. The one who is himself a worshiper can never be worshiped. The one who needs nurturing (Marboob) can never be the Lord (Rabb).

The noblest attribute for a person is for him to be Allaah’s slave, and this attribute prevents the person from over-praising as the Christians over-praised `Eesaa Ibn Maryam as they made him a deity or the son of Allaah, worshiping him and supplicating to him.

Part 2:

Qur’aan: “It has been inspired to me”

Hadeeth: “So, call me the Slave of Allaah and His Messenger”

Benefit: Acknowledging that he ﷺ is also the Messenger of our Lord, so it becomes obligatory to believe in him, obey him, shun what he prohibits, and to worship Allaah only in the way he has legislated.

And this noble attribute prohibits a person to belie him ﷺ, like the Jews who disbelieved in `Eesaa and Muhammad عليهم الصلاة والسلام

۝۝۝۞۝۝۝

So he ﷺ is a Slave, never to be worshiped, and a Messenger, never to be belied.

The bond between Tawakkul and Imaan

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

﴿إِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُوا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ فَرِحُونَ - قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴾

{If good befalls you (O Muhammad), it grieves them, but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: “We took our precaution beforehand,” and they turn away rejoicing. Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allaah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector).” And in Allaah let the believers put their trust.} [Surah al-Tawbah (9): 50-51]

Ibn al-`Qayyim رحمه الله said:

❝Al-Tawakkul is an essential and indispensable part of Imaan; and Imaan demands that one should have al-Tawakkul.

Allaah تعالى says:

﴿وَعَلَى اللهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ﴾

{…and put your trust in Allaah if you are indeed Believers} [Surah al-Maaidah (5): 23]

He تعالى made al-Tawakkul a condition for Imaan. So this is proof that Imaan is lost when Tawakkul is lost.

In another Aayah Allaah تعالى mentioned:

﴿وَقَال مُوسَى يَا قَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ آمَنتُمْ بِاللهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنْتُمْ مُسْلِمِين﴾

{And Musa said: “O my people! If you have believed in Allaah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims”} [Surah Yunus (10): 84]

And here (Allaah تعالى) made al-Tawakkul as proof for the correctness of one’s Islaam.

Allaah تعالى said:

﴿وَعَلَى الله فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴾

{And in Allaah (alone) should the believers put their trust}

[Surah aal-`Imraan (3): 122, 160; Surah al-Maaidah (5): 11; Surah al-Tawbah (9): 51; Surah Ibraaheem (14): 11; Surah al-Mujaadilah (58): 10; Surah al-Taghaabun (64): 13]

The strength or weakness of one’s Tawakkul depends upon the strength or weakness of one’s Imaan. Whenever the Imaan of the slave (of Allaah) grows stronger, his Tawakkul also grows stronger; and whenever his Imaan weakens, his Tawakkul also weakens. And without doubt, whenever (one’s) Tawakkul grows weak, it is proof that (his) Imaan has grown weak as well.

Allaah تعالى has bonded:

Tawakkul (reliance upon Him) with (His) `Ibaadah (worship),

and between Tawakkul and Imaan (Faith),

and between Tawakkul and Islaam,

and between Tawakkul and al-Taqwaa (God-consciousness, piety),

and between Tawakkul and Hidaayah (guidance).❞

[Tareeq al-Hijratain (1/255)]

Brief Comments on Riyaadh al-Saaliheen #112

When you feel low in Imaan, broken and dejected

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

In everyone’s life there comes a point when they feel low in Imaan, broken, dejected, worried, or sad. So what should a person do if he finds himself in such a situation? One such narration which helps in understanding what causes a person to have this feeling is the Hadeeth of Hanzhalah (حنظلة) رضي الله عنه. Through this Hadeeth, one learns the importance of having good companionship, approaching the scholars to seek clarification, attending the circles of knowledge, reciting more Qur’aan, doing more Adhkaar and seeking Allaah’s refuge and repenting to Him – all these help in boosting one’s Imaan and in keeping firm upon the Deen.

Scaring the children: a means for Jinn possessions

A very important point

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

❝Some of the foolish, ignorant people, lacking intelligence, scare their small innocent children and frighten them by saying: so-and-so (monster) will come (and take you), or so-and-so will (do such-and-such to you in the darkness). So the child gets scared and this fear and anxiety remains in his heart, and this becomes permanent in his heart so that he is constantly in anxiety, fear and distress.

Sometimes it is the father who scares his son and sometimes it is the mother who scares her son and daughter.

But the most foolish ones are those who tell us that when a child does something wrong (then as punishment) he should be locked inside his room, alone. And even when he shouts and screams they do not feel sorry for him nor do they open the door.

And this is one of the means by which a Jinn overpowers (and possesses) the child. This was conveyed by one of the Jinns who had possessed a child and said that he entered in him when his father had locked him inside the room, and he began to shout and scream, and that's when he possessed him.

So we should be alert and take precautions from the things which can become a means for the Jinn to overpower us.❞

Seeking forgiveness: the solution to many of our problems

So seek forgiveness for yourself and others who have rights upon you.

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Shaikh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

❝Al-Istighfaar (seeking Allaah’s forgiveness) removes the slave from doing things which are disliked (by Allaah) towards doing things which are loved (by Allaah); and from actions which are deficient towards actions which are (more) complete; and it raises the slave from the lower status to a status higher than it and more perfect.❞

The Prophet: You will be asked about me

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

In the long Hadeeth of Jaabir رضي الله عنه, about the description of the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم Hajj, he narrated that on the Day of `Arafah, in the valley of `Arafah, in his famous sermon, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝You will be asked about me. What will you say?❞They said: “We bear witness that you have conveyed (the message) and fulfilled (your duty) and offered sincere advice.” He صلى الله عليه وسلم then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people said: ❝O Allaah! Bear witness, O Allaah! Bear witness, O Allaah! Bear witness.❞

[Saheeh Muslim (2803), Sunan Ibn Maajah (3074), and Sunan Abu Dawood (1905)]

People will be asked about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم twice. The first time is in their grave and the other is on the Day of Judgment.
