The meaning of Allaah’s name al-Haseeb .

What is the meaning of Allaah's name al-Haseeb (the Reckoner, the
Bringer to Account)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Al-Haseeb is the One whois Sufficient. He is Sufficient for those who
put their trust in Him, and He is Sufficient and does not need
witnesses.
"Certainly, Allaah is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things"
[al-Nisaa' 4:86 – interpretation of the meaning]
It may also be interpreted as al-Hafeez (the Preserver), i.e., He
keeps records of all actions, then He will requite them. Allaah is the
Bringer to Account of His slaves, i.e., He will bring them to account
for their deeds and will requite them for them according to His
Wisdomand knowledge of the smallest and greatest of their actions. So
they will be brought to account for good and evil, down the minutest
detail.
He is the One Whose blessings and gifts are known. He knows about
fractions and measurements, such as people may come to know through
calculations, but He knows them without calculating. For the one who
is counting knows things step-by-step, and he knows the total after he
has finished calculating, but the knowledge of Allaah is not dependent
upon procedures.
He is the Sufficient, in both a general and a specific sense.
In the general sense, He takes care of all His slaves with regard to
thethings that concern them, both spiritual and worldly, such as
attaining benefits and warding off harm.
In the specific sense, He takes care of His pious slaves who put
their trust in Him in such a way as to reform their worldly and
spiritual affairs. For example, Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"O Prophet (Muhammad)! Allaah is Sufficient for you and for the
believers who follow you" [al-Anfaal 8:64]
i.e., He is Sufficient for you and Sufficient for your followers. As
much as a person follows the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him), both outwardly and inwardly,and as much as he worships
Allaah, Allaah will take care of him andgive him support and victory.
For only Allaah can take care of His slaves, so He is the only One in
Whom they should put their trust, Whom they should fear and worship,
as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Is not Allaah Sufficient for His slave?" [al-Zumar 39:36]
Allaah is the Swiftest in bringing to account. When His slaves come
before Him He will bring them to account and that will not present any
difficulty to Him. He knows their numbers, their deeds, their
lifespans and all their affairs. He has taken accounted them and He
knows their amounts; Hedoes not reckon it by counting on His fingers,
but He knows it and nothing is hidden from Him. Not even the weight of
an atom or a smaller or greater amount than that is hidden from Him,
but it is written in a clear Record.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"He is the Sufficient, He fulfils [His slaves'] needs and protects
[them], andHe takes care of His slaves at every moment."
From Sharh Asmaa' Allaahu ta'aala al-Husna, by Dr. Hissah al-Sagheer, p. 93

Translation of the Namesof Allaah into languages other than Arabic .

Is it a kind of distortion to translate the names ofAllaah into any
other language?
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible to translate the names of Allaah for those who do
not know Arabic, if the translator has a good knowledge of both
languages, just as it is permissible to translate for them the
meanings of the verses of the Qur'aan and the hadeethof the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so that they may learn
about Islam.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet
Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

Names and Attributes of Allah,- Ruling on Reciting the Names of Allaah in certain combinations.

Number of people tell me if you say so-and-so X amount of times then
you will get such and such reward e.g. recitingthe 99 names of Allah
in certain combnations andquantities will do certainthings .
Praise be to Allaah.
This question was answered for us by Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Munayyi', who said:
"This is not permissible, and if he believes in it, itis bid'ah."
Every dhikr that involves reciting a certain number of times, or in a
certain place, or at a certain time, or in a certain manner, that is
not prescribed in sharee'ah, is bid'ah. With regard to the Most
Beautiful Names of Allaah, the way to use these in worship is to call
upon Allaah by theseNames, as He says (interpretation of the meaning),
"And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allaah, so call on Him
by them…" [al-A'raaf 7:180]. Merely reciting them in certain
combinations is not a prescribed form of worship. And Allaah knows
best.

The man who got trapped in an island ,Islamic Stories,-

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
He prayed feverishly for Allah to rescue him, and every day he scanned
the horizon for help, butnone seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventuallymanaged to build a littlehut out of driftwood
to protect him from the elements and to store hisfew possessions.
But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find
his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst
had happened; everything was lost. He was stunnedwith grief and anger.
"Allah, how could you dothis to me!" he cried. Early the next day,
however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching
the island. It had come to rescue him.
"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we
shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is atwork in our lives, even in
the midst of pain and suffering.
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just
may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of Allah.
Pass this on. You never know who may be in need of this today.
