and "masha'Allah"?
Why is it important to use the words "insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah"
whenevernecessary?
What important statement has Mr. AdnanOktar made on this subject?
Our Lord is infinitely merciful. He bestows matchless blessings on
people throughout their lives. In addition to physical blessings, He
also bestows spiritual ones: He forgives their mistakes, accepts their
repentance, protects them, conceals their sins, increases their
happiness and leads them to the true path. Allah ensures that all
things are favorable for believers, and He supports them in various
ways. The terms insha'Allah and masha'Allah that appear inthe Qur'an
possess very broad and deep significance, and much mercy.
Insha'Allah and Masha'Allah Are Two Very Important Terms That Repeat
the Name ofAllah and Prevent Polytheism
True faith and unalloyed love involve absolute submission to Allah.
One iscareful not to make even amomentary error. One knows that
polytheism may arise the moment one feels any loss of trust in Allah
or seeks any helpers other than Allah. For that reason, a believer
with unsullied faith turns to and trusts in Allah alonebecause he
knows that Allah reigns over all things, that His power is unfettered,
and that not a single leaf can fall unless He so wills it. He is
therefore aware that the only place to seek help for any reason is
Allah. He has adopted Him as his guide. He feels no need to rely
onanyone other than Allah, or to seek help from anyone else or any
other power because he knows that everything that happens in the world
doesso by Allah's leave. So someone with true faith acts with that
awareness at every moment of his life. Therefore, by the word
"insha'Allah" he is reiterating that everythinghappens by Allah's
leave and is created by Him in destiny. If someone says that he will
do something and forgets to say that Allah will create it, then that
is polytheism. But if he says, 'insha'Allah', 'I will do it by Allah's
will, through Allah's creating it in destiny,' then, by Allah's will,
he avoids polytheism and becoming someone who ascribes equals to
Allah.
On the other hand, if a person says, "How lovely" when he sees beauty,
thenhe is ascribing a divine significance to it. But if he uses the
term "Masha'Allah," meaning "How finely Allah has created," then he is
protected against polytheism. For that reason, "insha'Allah" and
"masha'Allah" are two very important terms that eliminate polytheism
in the End Times and that repeat the name of Allah. All-Wise Allah
reveals in Surat al-Kahf in the Qur'an that these two expressions are
the key to protection against polytheism and praising Him:
"Never say about anything, ' I am doing that tomorrow,' without adding
'If Allah wills. ' Remember your Lord when you forget, and say,
'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to right guidance
than this'." (Surat al-Kahf, 23-24)
" He is, however, Allah, my Lord, and I will not associate anyone with
my Lord. Why, when youentered your garden, didyou not say, " It is as
Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah"? Though you see me
withless wealth and children than you possess," (Surat al-Kahf, 38-39)
Mr. Adnan Oktar describes how the repetition of "Insha'Allah" and
"Masha'Allah" eliminatespolytheism:
ADNAN OKTAR: Allah tells us to say "insha'Allah" when starting any
task or in reference to anything happening tomorrow. In other words,
"by Allah's leave," "by Allah's will." This is a recitation of the
name of Allah. Like "La ilaha illAllah," "subhanAllah," "Allah-u
akbar" or "alhamdulillah." It is a recitation of the name of Allah. It
is therefore propitious. Those who make much use of the words
"insha'Allah'" and "masha'Allah" will rule theworld in the End Times.
That is a feature of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh); they are
secret words. It is also a feature of the People of the Cave. A
feature of the End Times.When we see something, we say, "Masha'Allah,
how well Allah has created." We are thus protected against polytheism.
"Insha'Allah"means by Allah's leave, by Allah's creation, with Allah's
creation in destiny. Both are anti-polytheistic terms.They are blows
struck against polytheism. Two words that demolish polytheism. Allah
says in Surat an-Nur that those who do not ascribe equals to Him will
rule the world. Now if I say, "I will do something tomorrow," if I say
that in forgetfulness ofAllah, if I forget that Allah will create it,
that is polytheism. But if you say, "insha'Allah", "by Allah's leave,"
"by Allah's creationin destiny," then you are protected from
polytheism.
