Al-Mann )Reminding others of one’s favors for them( is a Characteristic of the Miser

The Meaning of the WordMann
The word Mann may be used to mean interruption and cessation, as in
the saying of Allaah The Almighty:}For they will have a reward
uninterrupted.{]Quran 95:6[ It may also mean doing what is good.
Another derivative of this word is the word "Mannah", which means a
great blessing, as in the saying of Allaah The Almighty:}Certainly did
Allaah confer ]great[ favor upon the believers.{]Quran
3:164[Al-Manncould also be done by words and it means reminding others
of one's favors to them, a thing that is dispraised among people
except in cases of ingratitude.
Some verses that use the wordMannare those where Allaah The Almighty
Says )what means(:
}And do not confer favor to acquire more.{]Quran 74:6[
}And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved
the Children of Israel?{]Quran 26:22[
}They consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islam. Say,
"Do not consider your Islam a favor to me. Rather, Allaah has
conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you
should be truthful."{]Quran 49:17[
}O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with
reminders or injury as does one who spends his wealth ]only[ to be
seen by the people and does not believe in Allaah and the Last
Day.{]Quran 2:264[
Al-Qurtubi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said that reminding others
of one's favors for them is usually done by a miserly and conceited
person. The miser always feels that what he gives is great, even if it
is something insignificant. Also, the conceited person tends to
glorify himself and feels that he is doing others a great favor by
giving to them. The reasons for all this are ignorance and
forgetfulness of the favors of Allaah. If these people had thought
carefully, they would have realized that the taker is the one who does
them a favor because of the reward that they obtain for giving to him.
In general, there are two possible interpretations of reminding others
of favors:
The firstis doing something good to others without boasting of what
one did. For example, it may be said that someone did another one a
favor by rescuing him.
The secondis when someone keeps reminding others of his favors for
them and does this numerous times, to the extent that he ruins and
squanders what he did.
The first type is good and it includes all the favors of Allaah that
He bestows upon man, while the second one is bad as it is usually said
in order to confirm and announce the favors, or to boast of what one
gives until it would reach the taker, who would then be hurt to hear
this. In this case, reminding others of one's favors would be a grave
major sin.
SomeHadeeths, which dispraise the act of reminding others of one's
favors for them, are:
In aHadeethon the authority of Abu Tharr, may Allaah be pleased with
him, the Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"Allaah will not
talk to three types of people on the Day of Judgment: the one who
gives people things in order to remind them of his favors upon them,
the one who sells goods by making false oaths, and the one who allows
his lower garment to hang low ]below his ankles[."]Muslim[
In aHadeethon the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allaah be pleased with
him, the Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"Allaah will not
look at three types of people on the Day of Judgment: the one who is
undutiful to his parents, the woman who imitates men and the Dayyooth
]the man who approves of the indecency of his womenfolk and who is
void of jealousy[. Moreover, three types of people will not enter
Paradise: the one who is undutiful to his parents, the one who is
addicted to alcoholand the one who reminds others of his favors for
them."]An-Nasaa'I, Al-Albaani -Saheeh[
In aHadeethon the authority of 'Abdullaah ibn Abi Afwa, may Allaah be
pleased with him, who said that some of the Arabs said to the
Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,"O Messenger of Allaah! We
reverted to Islam and did not fight you as other tribes did."Hence,
the following verse was revealed )which means(:}They consider it a
favor to you that they have accepted Islam.{]Quran 49:17[]Ibn
Al-Munthir, At-Tabaraani and Ibn Mardawayh with a good chain of
narrators[
In aHadeethon the authority of Abu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with
him, the Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"The deceiver,
the one who reminds others of his favors for them and the miser will
not enter Paradise"]At-Tirmithi,HasanGhareeb[
The meaning of:"The one who reminds others of his favors for them will
not enter Paradise":
Proven reported citations were narrated on the authority of the
Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, but their meaning was
misunderstood by two sects. The Al-Mu'tazilah and Al-Khawaarij, on one
hand, claimed that the one who commits a major sin and dies before
repenting would be eternally in Hell and would never enter Paradise.
On the other hand, Al-Murji'ah denied these citations all together as
they were ignorant of their meanings. Ibn Khuzaymah, may Allaah have
mercy upon him, pointed this out and said that these reported
citations could mean one of two things:
The firstis that the one who commits this sin would not enter some of
the gardens of Paradise as the Prophet,sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
told us that there are many gardens in Paradise and each one of them
is called Paradise.
The secondis that every threat to the true monotheists in the Quran
andSunnahis dependent on the will of Allaah, as He may forgive and
pardon and save the sinner from His torment. Allaah The Almighty Says
)what means(:}Indeed, Allaah does not forgive association with Him,
but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.{]Quran 4:11[
Some scholars have stated that when this type of threat is made
against the sinful monotheists, it could mean that they would not
enter Paradise with the first group who would enter it. However, they
will be delayed and might be tormented in Hell, but in the end they
will enter Paradise because they were monotheists.
Some traditions and sayings of scholars on the act of reminding others
of one's favors:
It was narrated by Ibn Abu Haatim, may Allaah have mercy upon him,
that Ibn 'Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said:"]The
Hadeeth[:'No one who reminds others of his favors for them will enter
Paradise,'was very difficult for me to understand until I found the
verses that deal with these type of people in the Quran. Allaah The
Almighty Says ]what means[:}Do not invalidate your charities with
reminders or injury.{]Quran 2:264["
In his commentary on the verse )which means(:}Indeed, from their Lord,
that Day, they will be partitioned,{]Quran 83:15[ Abu Mulaykah
Az-Zammaari, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said that this refers to
the one who reminds others of his favors for them and the arrogant who
unlawfully takes people's money through making false oaths.
In his commentary on the verse where Allaah The Almighty Says )what
means(:}Oyou who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with
reminders or injury,{]Quran 2:264[, Adh-Dhahhaak, may Allaah have
mercy upon him, said that the one who gives a charity then reminds the
taker of his charity or hurts him, would therefore not get a reward.
Allaah The Almighty likens what that person does to a large smooth
stone upon which there is dust and which is hit by a downpour that
leaves it bare. Allaah The Exalted removes the reward of the one who
reminds people of his charity in the same way the downpour removes the
dust of the stone.
Dear Muslim, reminding others with one's favors for them is a reason
for being inflicted with the wrath of Allaah and for being expelled
from His mercy. It stirs bitter feelings, invalidates good deeds and
might even cancel them out totally. Allaah will not look at the one
who has this ailment, neither will He talk to him on the Day of
Judgment. So, beware of this disease as it is a characteristic of
miserly people.

* Dought & clear, - * Why was Iblees commanded to prostrate to Adam alongwith the angels?

* If Iblees was not one of the angels, why was he commanded to
prostrate to Adam along with the angels?
Praise be to Allah.
Undoubtedly, when Allah, may He be exalted, commanded the angels to
prostrate to Adam, this command was also addressed to Iblees, as
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"…except Iblees (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate.
(Allah) said: 'What prevented you (O Iblees) that you did not
prostrate, when I commanded you?'"
[al-A'raaf 7:11, 12].
The scholars have spoken about the reason why the command to prostrate
to Adam was addressed to Iblees even though he was not one of the
angels; they stated that the reason for that was that he was similar
to the angels in their outward deeds.
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said (1/105):
The conclusion is that when Allah, may He be exalted, commanded the
angels to prostrate to Adam, He included Iblees in that because, even
though he was not one of them, he was imitating them and doing deeds
like their. Hence he was included in what was addressed to them, and
he was condemned for going against the command. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said inTafseer Soorat al-Baqarah(1/127):
If someone were to say: there is something confusing in this verse,
which is that when Allah, may He be exalted, says that He commanded
the angels to prostrate, He says that they all prostrated except
Iblees, and it would appear to mean that Iblees was one of them, but
that is not the case;
The answer to that is that Iblees shared with them their outward
deeds, so the command included him on the basis of his outward deeds.
End quote.
Something similar was also said by al-'Allaamah at-Taahir ibn 'Ashoor
in his tafseer,at-Tahreer wa't-Tanweer(1/409). What we are obliged to
believe is that the command to prostrate to Adam was addressed to
Iblees just as it was addressed to the angels, and this is what the
Qur'an clearly says:
"(Allah) said: 'What prevented you (O Iblees) that you did not
prostrate, when I commanded you?'"
[al-A'raaf 7:12].
As for the reason why this command was addressed to him, Allah knows best.

Dought & clear, - She is eighty years old and makes mistakes in reciting Qur’an, and she forgets; what is the ruling on her prayer?

My aunt she is almost 80 years of age and as she recites surahs,she
leaves out a couple of verses. I have tried to rectify her errors but
it hasnt helped as she continues making the same mistakes. I wanted to
know if it's a sin upon her to recite surahs in her prayer making
these mistakes.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
Reciting al-Faatihah is one of the pillars or essential parts of the
prayer, which the worshipper must recite correctly. The one who is
excused for not doing that properly, because of a speech defect,
forgetfulness and so on, must recite it to the best of his ability,
and whatever he is unable to do is waived in his case, because Allah,
may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear"
[al-Baqarah 2:286].
The prayer is not rendered invalid unless the worshipper omits
something from al-Faatihah or changes the pronunciation in a manner
that alters the meaning. This applies if a person is able to recite it
properly. In the case of one who is not able to do that, he should
recite it as best as he can.
If a Muslim is not able to offer the prayer in the perfect manner,
then he must do whatever he is able to do, and whatever he is unable
to do is waived in his case.
Al-Bukhaari (7822) and Muslim (1337) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) said: "If I command you to do something,
then do as much of it as you can.
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This is one of the most important basic principles of Islam, and is an
example of the power of concise speech that was given to the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). It is applicable to
innumerable rulings, such as prayer of all types. If a person is
unable to do some of the pillars or essential parts of the prayer, or
is unable to meet some of its conditions, then he must do the rest; if
he is unable to wash some of the parts of the body that must be washed
in wudoo' or ghusl, then he must wash whatever he can. If he has
something that will cover part of his 'awrah, or he has memorised only
part of al-Faatihah, then he must do whatever he is able to do. … This
hadeeth is in accordance with the words of Allah, may He be exalted
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Sokeep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16].
End quote.
See also the answer to question no. 5410
What you must do is focus on teaching your aunt to recite al-Faatihah
correctly, if she is not reciting it properly and is able to learn it.
Secondly:
With regard to soorahs other than al-Faatihah, the matter is easier,
especially when one is not able to do it, because reciting something
other than al-Faatihah in the prayer is not one of the obligatory
parts of the prayer. The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
If the imam forgets a verse of al-Faatihah and doesn't realise it
until a long time has passed, then he must repeat the prayer if it was
an obligatory prayer, because recitation of al-Faatihah is one of the
pillars or essential parts of the prayer. But if he remembers that
before a long time has passed, then he should do an extra rak'ah to
replace the rak'ah in which he omitted a verse of al-Faatihah, then do
the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw).
But if the verse that was forgotten was from a soorah other than
al-Faatihah, then his prayer is valid and neither he nor those who
prayed behind him have to do anything, because recitation of more than
al-Faatihah is mustahabb (encouraged) but is not obligatory.
End quote fromFataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 5/332
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to recitation other than al-Faatihah, if the worshipper
omits anything because he forgot, that does not matter.
End quote fromFataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb, 9/421
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
My mother has high blood pressure, as a result of which she is
half-paralysed and cannot move the muscles on the right side of her
body. Her memory has also become weak, and she has forgotten some
verses of the Qur'an, including al-Faatihah, as well as some of the
adhkaar that are recited in the prayer. Her speech is also affected,
in that she cannot speak except with great effort. My question is:
What is the ruling on my mother's prayer if she forgets some verses or
al-Faatihah or some of the obligatory adhkaar of the prayer, after she
does her best?
He replied:
If she cannot do more than that, then she is excused, because Allah,
may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Sokeep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16].
"On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear"
[al-Baqarah 2:286].
But she should strive her utmost to recite al-Faatihah and the
obligatory adhkaar to the best of her ability, even if that means that
someone should be with her who can prompt her. With regard to things
that are mustahabb, such as reciting more than al-Faatihah or more
thanSubhaana Rabbiy al-A'la(Glory be to my Lord Most High) when
prostrating andSubhaana Rabbiy al-'Azeem(Glory be to my Lord the
Almighty) when bowing, and so on, there is nothing wrong with omitting
that.
End quote fromFataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb, 8/2.
And Allah knows best.

Dought & clear, - Why did Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, test Ayyoob (peace be upon him)?

Why did Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, test Ayyoob (peace be
upon him)? I heard that one of the vulnerable people asked him for
protection and he did not give it to him, so Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, punished him for that. Is this story true?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The apparent meaning of the Holy Qur'an indicates that Allah's trial
of His Prophet Ayyoob (peace be upon him) was not by way of punishment
for a sin or act of disobedience; rather it was for reasons known to
Him, may He be glorified and exalted. Perhaps one of those reasons is
that it was in order to raise him to high status by virtue of his
patience, so that he might attain thereby a lofty status on the Day of
Judgement.
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, praises him for his patience,
as He says (interpretation of the meaning):"Truly! We found him
patient. How excellent (a) slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in
repentance (to Us)" [Saad 38:44]. This is the context of praise and
commendation, and raising in status, which is different from the
context of rebuke that is mentioned in the story of Yoonus (peace be
upon him), where Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.
Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,
He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day
of Resurrection.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick"
[as-Saaffaat 37:142-145].
Secondly:
In the Prophet's Sunnah there is a report which indicates that Ayyoob
(peace be upon him) was innocent of any sin that could have been a
cause for the sickness that befell him.
It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him)
that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said:
"Verily Ayyoob, the Prophet of Allah, suffered his trials for eighteen
years, when he was shunned by relatives and strangers alike, except
for two of his brothers who were among the closest of his brothers.
They used to come to him in the morning and in the evening. One of
them said to his companion: Do you know, by Allah, that Ayyoob must
have committed a sin that no one else ever committed? His companion
said: Why is that? He said: For eighteen years, Allah has not shown
mercy to him or granted him relief.
When they went to him in the evening, the man could not keep from
telling him about that. Ayyoob said: I do not know what he is talking
about, but Allah knows that I passed by two men who were arguing, and
they mentioned Allah, I would go back to my house and offer expiation
on their behalf, because I did not want Allah to be mentioned except
in a proper manner…
Narrated by Abu Ya'la inal-Musnad, 6/299; Ibn Hibbaan in hisSaheeh,
7/159; al-Haakim inal-Mustadrak, 2/635
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan. Al-Haakim said: (It
is saheeh) according to the conditions of al-Bukhaari and Muslim,
although they did not narrate it. This was also stated by adh-Dhahabi
inat-Talkhees. InFath al-Baari, 6/421, Ibn Hajar described it as being
the soundest report on this topic. It was classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani inas-Silsilah as-Saheehah, no 17. Some of the scholars
thought it was flawed. See:Ahaadeeth Mu'allah Zaahiruha as-Sihhah, p.
54. See also:al-Bidaayah wa'n-Nihaayah, 1/254-259
Thirdly:
The scholars stated that the wisdom behind the trials of the Prophets
is to raise them in status and enhance their image and reputation.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, tests His slaves with good
times and bad, hardship and ease. He may test them thereby to raise
them in status and enhance their image and reputation, and multiply
the reward for their good deeds, as He did with the Prophets and
Messengers (blessings and peace of Allah be upon them) and the
righteous among His slaves. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) said: "The most sorely tested of people are the Prophets,
then the next best and the next best." Narrated by at-Tirmidhi, 2398.
So if any of the righteous slaves of Allah is tested with sickness and
the like, this is akin to the tests of the Prophets and Messengers,
and serves to raise one in status and increase the reward, so let him
be an example to others of patience and seeking reward with Allah.
End quote from Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 4/370-371
On our website we have previously discussed in detail the various
reasons behind the trials of the Prophets, and we have quoted the
explanation of this issue given by al-'Allaamah Ibn al-Qayyim. And
Allah knows best.

For children, - I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like!

An Angel was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
"Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like?"
The Lord sent the Angel to two doors. The Angel opened one of the
doors and looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round
table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which
smelled delicious and made the Angel's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They
appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long
handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to
reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle
was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into
their mouths.
The Angel shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell. Now go to the next door."
The Angel went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly
the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the
large pot of stew which made the Angel's mouth water. The people were
equipped with the same long handled spoons, but here the people were
well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The Angel said, "I don't understand."
"It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see,
they have learned to share by feeding each other, while the greedy
think only of themselves."
Moral of the story: Its people's attitude that makes our place of
work, a hell or heaven! 'Help and Seek Help' this makes all the
difference to each individual's life and makes our lives hell or
heaven. Success and happiness is all about effective team-work make it
a great place to work.

For children, - Cheap Ticket to Paradise: Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him) in dream

A man from a respectable background came to Balkh which is situated in
the south of Iran, accompanied by his wife and daughters. Shortly
after their arrival the man fell ill and later died, leaving his wife
and daughters. Without his support they became poor and suffered. So
fearing the mockery of enemies, she fled Balkh with her daughters to
Samarkand.
On the day she arrived the weather was very cold, so she left her
daughters in a mosque and went out in search of food. She passed by
two groups of people. One was gathered around a Muslim who was the
Sheikh and the other group around a Zoroastrian (Majusi) who was the
security officer of the city.
She first went to the Muslim Sheikh and described her situation
saying, "I am a woman of a respectable family, with daughters whom I
have left in the local mosque and I have come in search of food." He
asked her, "Bring me proof that you are from a respectable family."
She replied, "I am a stranger in this town and therefore do not know
anyone to testify for me." She departed from him brokenhearted. She
then went to the Zoroastrian and explained her situation to him,
telling him about her noble background and her orphaned daughters who
were, waiting her return in the local mosque. She also mentioned to
him how the Muslim Sheikh had treated her. The Zoroastrian stood up
and sent some womenfolk to bring her daughters and took all of them to
his house. There he showered them with honour and generosity. He fed
them fine food and clothed them in rich garments.
That night the Muslim Sheikh saw in a dream the Day of Resurrectionand
the banners were unfurled around Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
Upon him). Ahead of him, was a green palace made of emeralds, its
balconies of pearls and rubies and domes of pearls and corals. He
asked Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him), "Messenger of Allah,
for whom is this palace?" Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him)
replied, "For a Muslim." The Muslim Sheikh replied, "I am a Muslim!"
Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him) said, "Prove to me that you
are a Muslim?" At that, the Muslim Sheikh was dumbstruck. Holy Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be Upon him) then said, "You asked a woman to produce
proof of her respectability and therefore my question to you is, can
you produce proof that you are a Muslim?" At this point the Muslim
Sheikh felt remorse about his treatment towards the woman and her
orphaned daughters.
In the morning, he immediately set out to find the woman. He learnt
she was staying with the Zoroastrian and so called for him. When the
Zoroastrian arrived, the Muslim Sheikh requested that he sends the
woman and her daughters to him. The Zoroastrian replied, "Under no
circumstance! I have received great blessings from her." The Muslim
Sheikh said, "Take a thousand dinars from me and bring them to me."
Zoroastrian shouted, "Impossible! The one who showed you the palace in
your dream has made it (the palace) for me. Are you surprised because
I am not a Muslim? By Allah (SWT), I did not sleep last night, before
I and my family accepted Islam at that noble woman's hand and I dreamt
something similar to what you dreamt; Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
Upon him) asked me, "Is that noble woman and her daughters with you?"
I replied: "Yes, Messenger of Allah." Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
Upon him) said, "This palace is for you and your family. Allah (SWT)
created you a believer in eternity." At that the Muslim Sheikh
remained sorrowful and grieved for the missed opportunity of earning a
lofty position in Paradise, due to his neglect of the widowed woman
and her daughters.
Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him) has said, "The one who
strives on behalf of the widow and the needy is like a warrior in the
path of Allah". (Bukhari and Muslim) May Allah guide us to what is
right for indeed, He is Generous, the most Kind, and the most
Merciful!

The İnvalidity Of The Famous Darwinist Claim That ''Useful Mutations Do Exist.''

The false idea that useful mutations exist is a classic Darwinist
claim. Although the whole scientific world knows, with absolute
scientific evidence, that mutations have a destructive or fatal
effect, this claim is still persistently made, out of a fear of
humiliation. Because Darwinism is a theory that depends totally on
mutations. All Darwinists know that if the destructive effect were
to be mentioned just once, that would spell the end of Darwinism. It
is for that reason they try to give the impression, citing invalid
and utterly pitiful examples, that mutations can be beneficial. But
this is a complete deception.
· As we have set out many times before,
mutations have a net harmful effect, with only 1% being neutral,
though the latest scientific research has shown that even these can
produce long-term damage in the organism. [1] The net harmful effect
of mutations is not a psychological defense mechanism, but an
explicit truth revealed by science.
· If Darwinists object to this, then they are
directly flying in the face of science. Because this is not a matter
of opinion, but an absolute scientific fact.
· It is impossible for mutations to bestow any
useful characteristic. Under normal conditions, everything in a
living body exhibits complete regularity, order and symmetry. In
addition, these systems co-exist with the most delicate balances
and exhibit a glorious complexity right down to the finest detail.
Mutations are random interventions, such as with radiation, and
mean breakages, impairments and dislocations. They INEVITABLY
DAMAGE these extraordinarily complex systems, with their regularity,
symmetry and order. It is illogical and a violation of science to
maintain anything else.
· The results at Chernobyl, Nagasaki and
Hiroshima were all the results of mutations. Under the effect of
mutations, organisms with regular structures either died or suffered
severe damage, and this harmful effect even manifested itself in
subsequent generations.
· Darwinists generally cite various examples of
immunity in order to try to corroborate their claims that
"beneficial mutations do exist." But these examples all consist of
a variation or impairment in bacteria or immune cells.
· Sometimes, a dislocation in a single DNA
nucleotide, or base, can bestow immunity to an antibiotic on a
micro- organism. But although this may be useful to the
micro-organism, IT IS NOT A BENEFICIAL MUTATION. Because the
mutation in question has actually harmed the micro-organism. The
ribosome sequence belonging to the micro- organism has been
impaired, and it prevents the antibiotic binding to the organism by
damaging the lock and key harmony. In other words, rather than there
being any novelty in the micro-organism, we are looking at a loss
of information.
· Mutations are literally like firing at a
regular structure with a machine gun. Opening fire on a healthy
structure will entirely do away with that structure. The fact that
one bullet has no effect or destroys an existing infection in the
body changes nothing. The organism will already have been killed by
the other 99 bullets hitting it.
· The example that Darwinists cite with such
examples is like a bullet healing the body by destroying a single
infection. The organism is devastated by mutations, but Darwinists
concentrate on the one that heals this infection.
· Since the subject of mutations constitutes one
of the most damaging points for Darwinists they engage in
demagoguery by depicting minor instances of variation or the effects
examined above as major evidence. The fact is, however, that the
adherents of evolution, who maintain that all living things acquired
their present symmetrical and complex structures by way of
evolution, have to be able to cite examples of mutations that take
place one after the other and are all beneficial, and that also
bestow new information on the organism.
· What is more, Darwinists also have to provide
evidence for the scenario of one living thing's physiology turning
into that of another life form through mutation at the macro level.
BUT THEY CANNOT EVEN CONTEMPLATE PRODUCING SUCH EVIDENCE. Because
as they know full well, mutations destroy and ruin and occasionally
entirely destroy the organism concerned.
· It addition, we need to make the following
point very clear: mutations can never bestow any new data on an
organism that is not already in its genome. That is impossible. The
examples alleged to have "added new information" are all
misleading. No new genetic information is ever added. All that
happens is that information already existing in a living thing's
genes starts to be used by becoming more visible as a result of
variations.
· Breaks and dislocations in the bases that make
up DNA CAN NEVER PRODUCE NEW INFORMATION. They do not equate to
information that did not already exist being bestowed on a living
thing. Darwinists are without doubt well aware of this. But they
insist on depicting dislocations in genetic bases as new data. This
is an example of Darwinist demagoguery.

The Easiness Of Islam Is A Blessing From Allah

Believers constantly live their lives according to what the
All-Merciful and Most Merciful has revealed in the Qur'an. No matter
where they are, they display a moral character that pleases Allah
and avoid any behavior that displeases Him. In His mercy, Allah
gave Islam to humanity, a religion that is easy to follow and
results in a good and contented way of life. From the Qur'an, we
can see that Islam's requirements are extremely easy, because "Allah
desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you" (Surat
al-Baqara, 185).
Due to His compassion and mercy, all true religions contain rules
that are very easy to obey. The various attempts made throughout
history to deviate from the essence of religion and to prevent
people from living according to it have added several enforced
practices and myths to it. When such distortions become firmly
established and self-generating traditions, people, either with or
without their knowledge, become far removed from the religious
morality. One of the most dangerous of these distorted beliefs is
that it is hard to live according to the religious morality.
However, both Allah and our Prophet (saas) state that it is very
easy for believers to follow this morality.
As with everything else that exists, Allah has created human beings
from nothing. With full knowledge of them, as well as being closer
to them than their jugular veins, He created religion in such a way
that it fully corresponds with each person's inherent human nature:
So set your face firmly toward the Religion, as a pure natural
believer, Allah's natural pattern on which He made humanity. There is
no changing Allah's creation. That is the true Religion – but most
people do not know it. (Surat ar-Rum, 30)
The Qur'an is a clear teaching that anyone, regardless of age and
culture, can understand. The oft-heard assertion that this is not
true is based mainly on people's ignorance of Islam's essence.
Today, many people are unaware of the truths revealed in the
Qur'an, the existence of the Afterlife, the pangs of Hell, the
incomparable blessings of Paradise, and of what He has revealed
concerning various matters. However, the Qur'an was sent down so
that people could read it, know its wisdom, and learn the purpose
of life.
A Muslim's greatest responsibility is to read the Qur'an and live
according to It. But only those whom Allah guides to the straight
path can apply Its morality to their lives. Allah promises to guide
everyone who turns to Him in complete sincerity. Those who assert
that the Qur'an is hard to understand seek to prevent others from
reading it, turning toward Allah, and living according to its moral
teachings. However, Allah says in many verses that the Qur'an is
clear and understandable:
We have sent down Clear Signs to you, and no one rejects them except
the deviators. (Surat al-Baqara, 99)
Allah has been pleased to choose the religion of Islam for humanity;
moreover, the rules and practice of the Qur'an are very simple. In
its verses, Allah says of the Qur'an:
We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable, but only
as a reminder for those who fear [and respect Allah]. (Surah Ta Ha,
2-3)
In His endless mercy and compassion, Allah has detailed in the
Qur'an the kind of life that will ensure our happiness and
contentment. Allah states this in the Qur'an as follows:
But as for him [or her] who believes and acts rightly, he [or she]
will receive the best of rewards, and We will issue a command, making
things easy for him [or her]. (Surat al-Kahf, 88)
It is important for every Muslim to show that religion, in its
essence, is easy in order to kindle the people's hearts with the
Qur'an and Islamic morality, teach them the Qur'an and our Prophet's
(saas) Sunnah as the only guides for their lives. Many people are
unaware of this truth and think that their lives will be more
comfortable if they disregard the Qur'an's morality out of concern
that it will restrict their enjoyment of life's pleasures. However,
such great errors and deceptions obscure the fact that such morality
is easy to follow, for Allah, Who created humanity, is fully aware
of what system of morality is best for His creation. Actually, what
is difficult is to live in a society composed of individuals who do
not know the boundaries that Allah has set.

The İnvalidity Of The Claim That ''Rna İs The Forebear Of Life''

The RNA world thesis is a supposed savior launched by Darwinists out
of a sense of despair at the failure of all experiments regarding
the beginning of life. But everyone who understands science and the
complexity of the cell will inevitably find it illogical for
Darwinists, who have never manufactured even a single protein, to
make such a claim. In the absence of a single protein of the first
imaginary cell they claim for the beginning of life, Darwinists claim
that RNA is responsible for the whole thing, in all its wondrous
complexity. But when it comes to how RNA itself first appeared,
they are again, as always, silent.
· According to the RNA world thesis, a
hypothetical RNA molecule that came into being by chance
manufactured proteins in some way, after which DNA appeared by
chance out of a need for a second molecule to store all this protein
information. Darwinists, with their powerful imaginations, are
still trying to produce a single peptide bond in the laboratory,
but seek to mislead people by shamelessly propagating this
impossible and unbelievable scenario.
· Extraordinary complexity is a huge and
insoluble dilemma for Darwinists who are unable to account for how
even a single RNA nucleotide might have come into being.
· Even if we assume that the impossible happened
and came about by chance, proteins are still essential in order for
this entire mechanism to function. In other words, RNA cannot perform
its function of producing a protein without proteins already being
in existence. Just like other proteins, in order for DNA and RNA to
exist and function, it is essential for the cell to exist
beforehand, fully equipped and with all its proteins and other
organelles.
· A second major deception on this subject is
the claims made regarding the function of RNA. RNA only contains
information about the structure of protein alone. RNA has no
mechanism to manufacture protein.
· A protein is manufactured in an organelle
called the ribosome with the assistance of many enzymes as the
result of highly complex processes. The ribosome is a complex cell
organelle again made up of proteins. This therefore leads to the
impossible assumption that the ribosome, the proteins serving within
it, DNA and RNA all came about spontaneously at exactly the same
time.
· The RNA world thesis, spoken of with
embarrassment by many scientists, is one of the most illogical
theories yet espoused by Darwinists, who are in a despairing state
when it comes to explaining the origin of life. Casually bringing
up such an illogical claim and depicting it as major scientific
evidence is another element of Darwinist demagoguery.
The eminent University of San Diego California evolutionist Dr.
Leslie Orgel, a colleague of Stanley Miller and Francis Crick,
refers to the possibility of "life beginning with the RNA world" as
a "scenario." Orgel sets out the characteristics that RNA would
have to possess and the impossibility of its doing so in an article
titled "The Origin of Life on the Earth" in the October 1994 issue
of American Scientist:
This scenario could have occurred, we noted, if prebiotic RNA had two
properties not evident today: A capacity to replicate without the help
of proteins and an ability to catalyze every step of protein
synthesis.(Leslie E. Orgel, "The Origin of Life on the Earth",
Scientific American, October 1994, Vol. 271, p. 78)
It is of course impossible for such a RNA to exist.

Fathwa, - Her male teacher holds her hands during dental training

Question
Aoa, i am a 20 yr old female dental student and sometimes the male
teachers hold our hands to control our shaking in the pateint's mouth
while giving anesthesia and to teach us the exact direction n pressure
v need to apply. Apart from dat the male teachers also hold our hand
to make us do palpation of the patient properly.wat is the ruling for
this? are we allowed to atttend these classes since without them we
cannot pass our professional exams or even be good dentists since
fiddling with the intruments would make the anesthesia ineffective and
also a chance that we prick our ownselves.how ever this teaching by
holding is only transient till we learn the proper tchnique.wat is the
ruling on this what should we do in such cases?plz excuse the lenght
of my question.JAZAAKALLAH.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
It is not permissible for a man to touch a non-Mahram woman's hands or
any other parts of her body. It is confirmed that the Prophetsaid: "If
one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it
would be better for him than touching a woman whom he is not permitted
to touch." ]At-Tabaraani and Al-Bayhaqi[
Therefore, we advise you to discuss the matter with the people in
charge in the college and clarify to them the religious rulings about
it. You should ask them to provide a female teacher to teach female
girls. If this is achieved, then praise be to Allaah, otherwise if you
are in real need of this training, like being in a case of necessity
or close to it, then you may continue these studies, and if you can
wear gloves and the like, then you are obliged to do so, as this is
the least of two evils. Touching a non-Mahram man with a barrier in
between is a lesser evil than direct touching even though both of them
are evil.
Allaah Knows best.

beyond my capacity. please guide me to the truth. may allah accept all
your works. islamically what i have to do please tell me..
jazakhallahu khairan katheera.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His slave and Messenger.
First of all, may Allaah The Almighty reward you for being keen on
acquiring Islamic knowledge and we ask Him to help you achieve your
objective, as Allaah The Almighty is near and He answers
supplications.
If the situation is as you have mentioned in the question that there
is mixing between the genders in the mode of transport, and you cannot
find another means to commute to the place of study without committing
such a prohibition, then you are obliged to abandon this study. This
is especially the case as an alternative exists, which is distance
education over the internet.
Allaah Knows best.

Fathwa, - Studying must not prevent you from your religious obligations

Question
Assalam aleikum, I am a single lady currently working and attending
evening classes for Accounts. Alhamdulillahi I have completed 4
sections out of the 6 sections. There is one thing that is bothering
me at the moment, the issue of coming home late at night because of
attending the classes. I dont feel comfortable at all. I dont have
enough time to be with my family and I am thinking of not continuing
with the remaining sections. With the sections I have completed, I can
retain my job and even stand a chance to get another low or middle
level job to support my livelihood. Is it okay if i quit studying and
have time with my family and concentrate with studying my deen? Thank
you.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
Your studying is not something obligatory upon you and thus there is
nothing wrong with stopping it. Hence, if your studying prevents you
from learning what you have to learn of the matters of your religion
or prevents you from doing your obligations such as being dutiful to
your parents, then it is obligatory upon you to quit it and it is not
permissible for you to continue it.
Please refer to Fatwa 83607on the pre-conditions for a Muslim woman to work.
Allaah Knows best.

Treatment of Slaves And Servants

General teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Slavery was a common practice in Arabia, and almost all over the
world, before the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Victorious nations
of the time considered the people captured by them, in battle, as a
"commodity" - not as human beings - and used them mercilessly for
their own advantage.
The beloved Prophet of Islam (PBUH)urged and encouragedthe people
tofree the slaves, by declaring the freeing of slaves an act of
highest virtue and an act by which sins are forgiven. On the other
hand he enjoined on allnot to drive them like animals. He explained
that their basic needs, like food and clothing should be taken care of
in a deserving manner.
He, in fact, constantly warned the Muslims that they will becalled to
account, in thehereafter, if they failed in their duty to be just and
merciful to the slaves and servants. He emphasized this to such an
extent that it is reported by Ali (R.A.) that the last words, spoken
by the Holy Prophet (PBUH), (at the time of his death) were,
"Observe Salaah (the prayers), Observe Salaah And fear Allah with
regards to your slaves and servants."
This shows theimportancethat the Holy Prophet (PBUH) attached to
theirrights- that he even stressed its significance upon his followers
at the time of his departure from this world.
History tells that the entire course of the lives of slaves and
servants was transformed, as a result of these teachings, and their
human dignity was restored to them. Many of them rose to begreat
scholars and leadersholding high posts of office. Eventually the whole
world was influenced by this guidance and slaverybecame a thing of the
past.
Kind and Merciful treatment
It is related by Abu Hurairah (R.A.) that Rasulullah (PBUH) said,
"Food and dress are the right of the slave and he should not be
assigned to task which may be beyond his capacity."
These points constitute thefundamental rightsof slaves and servants -
that one should fulfill their basic need for food and clothing in
kindness and should be merciful in assigning any work to them.
In another Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said,
"They are your brothers (the slaves and servants). Allah has placed
them under your authority. So he who has a brother under him should
feed him and clothe him as he himself does, and should not take from
him any work that is beyond his power. If he does tell him to do such
work then he should also join in it - (and help him)."
Here the slaves and servants have been declared to be thebrothers of
their masters, and therefore deserve treatment like brothers - are not
both of them, servant and master, the children of Adam, after all!
In yet anotherstrikingHadith, Prophet (PBUH) said,
"When your slave or servant prepares food for you and lays it for you
- while he has suffered the inconvenience of heat and smoke when
cooking - you should ask him to sit down and share the meal. If the
food is in a small quantity (and cannot suffice) at least give him a
morsel or two there from (at least a little)."
Policy of Forgiveness
Furthermore, Rasulullah (PBUH) constantly emphasized the need to adopt
apolicy of forgivenesswith servants - This is very clear from the
Hadith narrated by Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A.) that once a person came to
the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) and asked "O Prophet of Allah! To what
extent should we forgive the mistakes and faults of our slaves and
servants?"
The Prophet (PBUH) remained silent whereupon the man repeated this
question. The Prophet (PBUH) again, remained silent and when the man
asked for a third time, he replied "Seventy times a day."
Evidently the figure, seventy, does not denote the exact number here
but a servant should be forgiven even if he makes a mistakes often.
"Forgiving" in this Hadith means that thepunishment should not be
inflictedon servants in a spirit of vengeance. But there is no harm,
however, if they are taken to task with politeness in view of their
correction - which would actually be for their own good.
Revenge and Account for Bad Treatment
Abu Hurairah (R.A.) relates that he heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say
"Whoever beats the slave or Servant unjustly, revenge will be taken
from him on the Day of Judgment."
Abu Mas'ood (R.A.) narrates that "Once I was beating my slave when I
heard a voice behind -(saying)" Oh Abu Mas'ood! Remember that Allah
has a greater power and authority over you than you have over the poor
slave."
I turned around and saw that it was the Prophet of Allah (PBUH)
whereupon I said "Oh Prophet of Allah - he is now free for the sake of
Allah (I have set him free)." The Prophet (PBUH) observed that "Be
informed that had you not done so (i.e. set him free) you would be
consumed in the fire of Hell!"
Loyalty of Slaves and Servants to their Masters
Whilst enjoining the masters to be fair and generous in their
treatment of the slaves and servants, The Holy Prophet (PBUH) also
emphasized upon the slaves and servants their duty toremain faithful
to their masters.
The Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said,
"It is a matter of great success and good fortune for a slave or
servant that Allah raises him from this world (gives him death) in a
state that he is a worshipper of the Creator and he is loyal to his
master."
In another Hadith related by Abdullah ibn Umar (R.A.), the Holy
Prophet (PBUH) said, "When a slave or servant isfaithfulto his master
and alsoworships his Creator,he is deserving of adouble reward(in the
hereafter).
Theprincipal featureof The Holy Prophet's teachings is that he urges
each class and individual tofulfill the rights of otherswith a full
sense of responsibility and consider it a source of good fortune in
both the worlds. He, thus, enjoins upon the masters tofear Allah in
respect of their slaves and servants, (by treating them fairly and
kindly) and he enjoins upon the slaves and servants to beloyal and
sincere to their masters.

Seeing the Woman before Marriage

It is permissible for a Muslim man to see the woman to whom he intends
to propose marriage before taking further steps so that he can enter
into the marriage knowing what is ahead for him. Otherwise, if he has
not seen her before marriage, he may not find her looks to his liking
and may have regrets after he is married to her. The eye is the
messenger of the heart; when the eyes meet, the hearts and the souls
of man and woman may meet as well.
Muslim reported Abu Hurairah as saying that a man came to the Prophet
(peace be on him) and told him that he had contracted to marry a woman
of the Ansar.
"Did you look at her?" the Prophet (peace be on him) asked.
"No," he said,
"Then go and look at her," said the Prophet (peace be on him),
"For there is something in the eyes of the Ansar,' meaning that some
of them have a defect of their eyes Al-Mughira ibn Shu'bah said, I
asked for a woman in marriage and Allah's Messenger (peace be on him)
asked me whether I had looked at her. When I replied that I had not,
he said'Then look at her, for it may produce love between you.'
I went to her parents and informed them of the Prophet's advice. They
seemed to disapprove of the idea. Their daughter heard the
conversation from her room and said, 'If the Prophet (peace be on him)
has told you to look at me, then look.' I looked at her, and
subsequently I married her. (Reported by Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah,
Ibn Hibban, and Darimi).
The Prophet (peace be on him) did not specify either to Mughirah or to
the other manhow muchof the woman they were permitted to see. Some
scholars are of the opinion that looking is limited to seeing theface
and hands. However, it is permissible for anyone to see the face and
hands as long asno desire is involved; therefore, if asking for woman
in marriage is an exemption, obviously the man making the proposal
should be able to see much more of the woman than that.
The Prophet (peace be on him) said, "When one of you asks for woman in
marriage, if he is able to look at what will induce him to marry her,
he should do so." (Reported by Abu Daoud).
Some scholars have gone to one extreme or another in relation to this
permission, but thebest course seems to be the middle one. One
researcher considers it quite appropriate in our time that the man who
is proposing be allowed to see the woman asshe normally appears before
her father, brother, and other muharramah.
He says: In the context of the above hadith, he may even accompany
her, together with her father or some other mahrem as chaperone, on
her usual visits to relatives or to public places, while clad in full
hijab. (Hijab denotes the proper Islamic dress. (Trans.))
In this way he will have the opportunity to get an insight into her
reasoning, behavior, and personality. This is a part of the meaning of
the hadith, "...to look at what will induce him to marry her."
(Al-Bahee al-Khooly, Al-Mar'ah Bain al-bayn al-bait wal-Mujtamah').
If the man's intention of marriage is sincere, he is permitted to see
the woman with or without her and her family's knowledge. Jarir ibn
'Abdullah said concerning his wife, "(Before marriage) I used to hide
under a tree to see her."
From the hadith concerning al-Mughira we understand that thefather of
a girl cannot, out of deference to custom and tradition,prevent a
suitorwho is in earnest from seeing her, forcustoms and traditions
must be governed by the Shari'ah. How is it possible that the Divine
Law should subjected to the whims of human beings?
On the other hand, however,neither the father, the suitor, or the
fiancee can stretchthis permission to such an extent that the young
man and woman, under the pretext of betrothal or engagement, go to
movie theaters, clubs, and shopping places together without being
accompanied by a mahrem of hers, apractice which has become common
today among Muslimswho are fond of imitating Western civilization and
its customs.

Rights of Relatives

Besides parents' rights, a great emphasis is also laid on the rights
of other relatives. In Islamic terms, 'Silah-Rahimi' is used to denote
good treatment towards the relatives'.
In the Qur'an, where the Muslims are enjoined to showkindness to
parents,they are also required to treat the other relatives with love
and sympathy and to pay due regard to their rights as well.
Allah has declared, "I am Allah, I am Ar-Rahman (The Merciful), I have
created the bond of kinship and named it Rahim,-which I have derived
from the root of my name of Rahman. Thus, whoever, shall join it tie.
Rahim, I shall join him, and whoever will break it, I shall break
him."
The Almighty has designed the system of birth in such a way, that
whoever is born, is tied to the bonds of kinship-and these bonds carry
certain claims and rights. Thus, whoever fulfils these claims, by
being kind to his relatives and treating them well, Allah will "join
him" i.e. He will make him His own and bestow His favor and mercy on
him. And whosoever will violate these claims, Allah will "break him"
i.e. He will have nothing to do with him.
Fulfilling The Rights Of Relatives
It is related by Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said
"Whoever wants an increase in his sustenance and that the marks of his
feet remain for a long time in the world (i.e. to live long) - he
should be kind and helpful to his relatives."
Basically, there aretwo ways of being kindand considerate to
relatives. One is by giving themmonetary assistance, when needed, and
the other is bydevoting a part of one's time and energyat their
service.
Family quarrels, which generally arise from the disregard of the
relatives' rights, affect a man's health and make it difficult for him
to concentrate in his work. Those who treat their relatives well and
are helpful to them, arefree from tensionsof this kind and they are
happier and more peaceful.
Violation Of Relatives Rights
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said "Whoever violates the rights of
relatives, shall not go to Paradise.
This Hadith, alone, should be enough to make us realize the importance
of Silah-Rahimi'. It shows that the violation of the relatives' rights
is so detested by Allah, that with its filthiness, no one can enter
Paradise. It is only when a person (believer) has received his
punishment or has been forgiven, that the gates of Paradise will be
opened for him.
Showing Kindness To Those Who So Ever Relations
Often, there are people who care little for the bonds of relationship
and are ruin and unjust in this respect. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has
enjoined to continue to treat them well and fulfill the obligations,
irrespective of what they do and how they behave.
Abdullah ibn Umar (R.A.) relates from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), "He
does not fulfill the claim of Silah-Rahimi who shows no kindness in
return for the kindness shown to him.. The person who really fulfils
the claim is he who treats his relatives well even when they are mean
and unjust to him.
When the violation of the rights of relatives is returned in a similar
manner, the evil will spread in the society -- while if it is returned
with kindness, it may lead to their correction and it will assist in
the promotion of Silah-Rahimi, in the life of the community.

The true nature of might and power
In an ultimate way, the answer to these and other similar questions is
simple: Allah Almighty has willed it. This is so because nothing can
happen in this world except by the permission of its mighty Creator
and wise Lord, Allah, The Most High.
All of this happens because Allah Almighty, in His infinite wisdom,
created laws and means )including evil( which allow certain outcomes,
regardless of whether He loves it or not. This does not absolve people
from their intentions and deeds, but quite the opposite. It forms the
crucible and volitional test of human faith. This is known as Allah's
Creative Will or Al-Iraadah Al-Kawniyah.
Allah Almighty also has what is known as the Prescriptive Will,
Al-Iraadah Ash-Shar'iyah—or the Sharee`ah—which prescribes for us what
Allah Almighty requires us to avoid and loves for us to do. Here Allah
Almighty sets forth unambiguously what He detests as evil and what He
loves and aides; namely, good, the righteous, and the good deeds they
do.
Consequently, everything, good or bad, occurs under Allah's knowledge
and happens only by His permission and creation. Making wars,
conquests and the defeat of the weak by the physically strong, all
take place by His permission because that is His Creative Will but at
the intention and choice of man. Thus Allah Almighty Says in the Quran
)what means(:"In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He
wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. ]It is[ the
promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the
people do not know .They know what is apparent of the worldly life,
but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware."]Quran 30:5-7[
Reflecting upon history and reality shows us that Allah Almighty has
made us into various competing communities and nations, who vie with
one another for glory. Allah Almighty gives and takes from whom He
pleases, even according strength to those He despises. Yet, as the
preceding verses indicate, material displays of strength are
deceiving. Allah Almighty has created them as an illusion for the
disbelievers and those who have disregarded His signs. Strength in
this world is meaningless in the next, because it cannot be truly
substantial unless it occurs under God's favor.
So it might be a fair question to ask ourselves what do might and
power mean for the Muslim—a person who declares: La hawla wa la
quwwata illa billah, or "There is neither might nor power save with
Allah?"
In the course of our answer to this, we will see that the root of the
oppression that Allah Almighty mentions time and again in the Quran
originates from a crucial misunderstanding of power, the illusion we
mentioned previously. All the oppressors in the world perceive
themselves as strong and the makers of their own destiny as well as
the destiny of others. But the Quran makes clear that everything is as
God wills, and that "indeed, Allah is powerful over all things" ]Quran
2:20[.
So our question develops. What is the nature of power and does Allah
wish us to view it? Then what sort of concepts about power may we have
to correct in ourselves when we answer our question?
Power and Devine knowledge
Consider Ibrahim, Father of Prophets, Friend of God. He approached
King Nimrod, calling him to submit to Allah Almighty. But Nimrod
doubted and disputed him, simply because Allah Almighty had granted
him kingship )2:258(. In arrogance, Nimrod saw his kingdom and control
over other people as a sign that his power made him responsible to no
one. But Ibrahim, peace be upon him, insisted: "My Lord is He Who
gives life and gives death." And Nimrod said: "I give life and give
death."And it was true in a sense. Nimrod could decree the execution
of whomever he wished in his kingdom.
But Ibrahim, peace be upon him, saw that Nimrod's argument was sheer
falsehood. "Then, indeed, it is Allah who brings the sun from the
East. So you bring from the West." Nimrod could not answer. Ibrahim,
peace be upon him, knew the flimsiness of Nimrod's arguments, how weak
a web of self-deception he had spun for himself. He recognized the
difference between the violent might and meaningless power of Nimrod,
and the wise and ultimate nature of true power from Allah. Prophet
Ibrahim, peace be upon him, knew true power comes only from complete
submission to God, not from physical outbursts and the compulsion of
others.
The same is evident from the Prophet Muhammadwho said:"A strong person
is not the one who throws his adversaries to the ground. A strong
person is the one who contains himself when he is angry."]Al-Bukhari[
The believer does not wish to extend his human limitations onto other
people through needless violence, harsh words, and spiteful thoughts.
Allah Almighty Says )what means(:"And do not turn your cheek ]in
contempt[ toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly.
Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful."]Quran
31:18[
This Quranic verse shows attributes, not of the strong, but the
spiritually weak. Instead, the strong man of God is in selfless
devotion to his Creator. The Prophet Muhammaddid not take his revenge
on the people of Makkah when he conquered it. He did not raise his
voice at those who disrespected him. Instead, he went against most of
the expectations of what the Arabs considered to be actions of the
strong and powerful at that time. In this was a sign of his real
strength.
When we desire to oppose oppression, we must remember that we serve
only the One who has created all things, and not the created things
themselves. We have all heard the expression: "Do not fall in love
with the things of this world." But it is equally true to say: "Do not
fall into hatred of the things of this world."
To succumb to either condition is to abandon our submission to Allah
for surrender to the world and its illusions, which become controlling
over us. It is to lose sight of ultimate purposes and ends, and out of
love or hate, to focus on the temporary and miss the eternal. We lose
ourselves to our own emotions instead of locating ourselves in the
refuge of the All-Merciful.
It is always better to seek to live by Allah's commands than to follow
our false desires. An example of this is the celebrated anecdote of
Ali ibn abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, on the battlefield.
His enemy fell beneath him, open to the deathblow. At that moment, he
spat in Ali's face. Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, held his
stroke and turned away, to the astonishment of his opponent, who asked
him why. His action would have emerged not from obedience to Allah,
but from personal anger, making it insincere.
Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, recognized that to strike at that
moment would be to transfer his submission from the Divine to the
dunya )world(, controlled by the actions of his enemy or his physical
emotions. If this story is true, it goes a long way to show the solid
character of Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, who wanted his heart
to be moved only by Allah Almighty and for His sake alone, not the
deception of this world.
He sacrificed a display of physical strength )at that moment(, so he
might observe the limits Allah had established )not to kill for one's
own whims or motives(. He knew that all power in this world comes from
Allah alone, and this power loses its meaning if it is not used in His
way. Through this type of action, Allah made him and many other
Companions of Prophet Muhammadof the strongest and wisest of His
servants.

In Allah’s Hands alone- II

The power of Allah
The prophets of Allah, peace be upon them, and those who possess
religious knowledge keep away from things which cloud their judgment
in any situation. First and foremost, they know that there are no
Asbab )means or ways( to anything except by the expressed Will of
Allah. It is following the commands and prohibitions that Allah
Almighty has prescribed for us that enables us recognize and see the
truth for truth and adhere to it, and to see falsehood as such and
avert it. Deception is the only other alternative. There is a striking
example of this in the Quran. When Talout, or Saul, set out to defeat
Goliath, he tested his men by prohibiting them during their force
march from drinking in a nearby river, saying: "He who drinks of it is
not of me" ]2:249[. Nearly all the men, perhaps thinking of the long
march ahead, and how they were going to need water for physical
strength, drank from the river—disobeying him! They calculated
strength and ability by physical means, instead of understanding that
God has power over all things and gives success to whom He wills.
By the time Saul crossed the river, those who had drunk from the water
said: "No strength have we today against Goliath and his forces," '
and they gave up! By disobeying God's messenger, they lost the true
power of faith in Allah!
But those who realized they would certainly meet Allah Almighty said:
How many a small company has prevailed over a more numerous company by
Allah's permission. And Allah is with those who are patient!" Those of
Saul's men who obeyed him, and knew that all might and power is with
Allah, were given deeper understanding and ability from Allah to
defeat the enemy."And when they went forth to ]face[ Goliath and his
soldiers, they said, 'Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly
our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.' So they
defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and
Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that
which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking ]some[ people
by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is
full of bounty to the worlds."]Quran 2:250-51[
The choice is ours
The believers know that Allah's supreme power is obvious in every
single thing that they see in this world, and that their own
capabilities are given to them only by Allah—and may be taken away
from them By Him Almighty at anytime. Sometimes the Companions of
Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, would shake out of
fear of not living from one moment to the next. Living with such
awareness is living with full knowledge of Allah's absolute Lordship
over His creation.
The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, referred to Allah Almighty
as "the One in Whose Hands is my soul." This underscores the
incredible sense of awe he felt toward his Creator, the Giver of Life,
and the Bringer of Death. Allah Almighty gave the Prophet Muhammad,
sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and his Companions, may Allah be pleased
with them, ultimate strength and victory in this life. But why do most
of our peers have such a drastically different sense?
It contrasts so markedly with our own because the state of the
Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, came from a conscious
effort and deliberate choice. Believers constantly remind themselves
of Allah's absolute power over existence. Disbelievers, on the other
hand, do not see signs of Allah Almighty at all—anywhere. The reason
for this is quite simple: The Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa
sallam, said Allah Says:"I am at the contemplation of My servants: I
am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I
too, remember him in Myself."
Imagine that. The intimacy between Allah Almighty and the individual
human is dependant in the sense of spiritual favor on how often we
ourselves actually choose to open our hearts and turn to our Creator
in gratefulness and repentance, and for signs of guidance. If we do
not turn to Allah Almighty, we have no guarantee that He Almighty will
turn to us. But if we turn to Him, then Allah Almighty is the
Ever-Returning. He will turn to us, give us knowledge of Him,
strengthen our hearts, and open up doors for our advancement in the
real life to come.
He Almighty is the one who purifies His servants' intellect and gives
them a criterion for understanding the values of things in the life of
this world, till they meet Him in the next. Allah Almighty gives His
obedient servants a criterion for recognizing the true nature of power
and might, and the ultimate value of the things around them and the
actions they choose to do. There is a connection between these three
things—the Divine criterion, the true nature of power, and the
ultimate value of things and actions—which the human being
instinctively relies upon even in his daily interactions with others.
We must look to utilize this part of our human nature in our daily
interactions with Allah Almighty.
For there is no power nor might nor value to anything except through Him.

A time for strengthening the family..

The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said:"No one who severs the
ties of kinship will enter Paradise."]At-Tirmithi[
The religion of Islam places great importance on maintaining the ties
of kinship between family members. All Muslims are to show kindness,
generosity, and respect toward both their nearest and most distant
relatives, whether they are Muslims or not. Allah Almighty places such
importance on maintaining the ties of kinship that whoever cuts off
the ties of their family, Allah Almighty cuts them off from Him. And
the Quran goes as far to say that the one who cuts off the ties of
kinship will be cursed.
Allah Almighty says in the Noble Quran )what means(:"But those who
break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which
Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth – for
them is the curse, and they will have the worst home."]Quran 13:25[
These days are an excellent time to mend burnt bridges and reach out
to family members that you may have not seen in a long time or that
you are at odds with.
These blessed days serve to open our hearts and minds as we humble
ourselves before our Creator in sincere worship. Take the first step
in reconnecting with your kin for the sake of Allah Almighty and to
strengthen your family unit.
Take the First Step
Regardless of how much time has passed since you have seen a family
member or whatever transgression has made you keep your distance, use
this time to reach out to a relative that you have been estranged
from.
It's as easy as picking up the phone and inviting him or her to your
home for a meal or meeting in a neutral place, such as a cafe, for a
cup of coffee. The worst that can happen is that they turn you down or
hang up the phone on you. At least Allah Almighty will know that you
tried to fulfill your obligation of maintaining family ties.
But the best that can happen is that your desires for renewing the
relationship will be reciprocated.
Forgiveness is Key
There is no need to rehash the past once your estranged family member
is in your presence. Forgiveness is the key to reestablishing your
bond. So let bygones be bygones, even if in the innermost recesses of
your heart you still feel that your kinsman wronged you.
A perfect exemplar can be found in Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with
him. Word came to him that his very own cousin, whom he had been
giving much financial support, had publicly slandered his beloved
daughter 'Aa'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. Abu Bakr, may Allah
be pleased with him, immediately stopped giving him charity. Allah
Almighty then revealed the celebrated verse )which means(:
"And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give
]aid[ to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause
of Allah, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that
Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." ]Quran
24:22[
No sooner did Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, hear this than
he resumed his cousin's financial assistance, and, indeed, increased
it over what he used to regularly give him.
United We Stand
A family that stands together is far stronger than one splintered into
factions. So even if you are not at odds with one of your kin, you
might know of family members who are not preserving their ties of
kinship. You can do your part as a Muslim by acting as a mediator to
reunite them under the same flag of Islam.
It might be difficult at first, especially since human emotions like
pride and anger get in the way. But remind your family members that it
is really Satan stoking the flames of discontent and that they must
make peace against all odds to maintain the family bond. Should you
find the situation too volatile to handle on your own, con-tact your
local imam or someone in your community known to offer good help in
counseling to assist you in your endeavor.
Watch the Garden Grow
A family that is content with its members is like a garden that bears
the most beautiful fruit and flowers that the human eye has ever
beheld. As the discontent and anger melts away between kin, you will
start to see the flowers in your family's garden blossom to reveal the
beauty that Allah Almighty intended.
To keep that garden flourishing, weed out problems before they take
root and nip familial discord in the bud. Most importantly, water your
garden with lots of blessings from Allah, the All-Powerful, to keep
your family together.
Trust in Allah Almighty and supplicate Him for assistance to keep your
family thriving for many years to come.

Dought & clear, - - Saheeh (sound) hadeeths, - Are there any saheeh ahaadeeth which speak of the ransoming of the living and the deadduring Ramadaan?.

I heard from someone that Allaah ransoms just one of the dead Muslims
every night, and that He does not ransom any of the living except on
the last night of Ramadaan, when He ransoms the same number as the
number of dead whom He ransomed during the month. Is this true?.
Praise be to Allaah.
After researching the matter, we did not find any ahaadeeth which say
such a thing.
There are ahaadeeth which say that Allaah ransoms people from the Fire
during Ramadaan, and that happens every night.
Some of these ahaadeeth are saheeh (sound), some are da'eef (weak),
and some are mawdoo' (fabricated).
Among the saheeh ahaadeeth which speak of that are the following:
1 – It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: The Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "When the first night of Ramadaan comes, the devils and
mischievous jinn are chained up, and the gates of Hell are closed, and
none of its gates are opened. The gates of Paradise are opened and
none of its gates are closed. And a caller cries out: 'O seeker of
good, proceed; O seeker of evil, desist.' And Allaah has people whom
He frees (from the Fire), and that happens every day."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 682; Ibn Maajah, 1642; classed as hasan by
Shaykh al-Albaani inSaheeh al-Jaami', 759.
2 – It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "At every breaking of the fast Allaah has people whom He redeems
from the Fire, and that happens every night."
Narrated by Ahmad, 21698; Ibn Maajah, 1643; classed as saheeh by
Shaykh al-Albaani inSaheeh Ibn Maajah.
The da'eef (weak) and mawdoo' (fabricated) ahaadeeth that have been
narrated on this topic include the following:
1 – The report narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with
him), according to which the Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "When the first night of Ramadaan comes,
Allaah looks at His creation, and if Allaah looks at a person He will
never punish him. And every day Allaah has one thousand thousand whom
He ransoms from the Fire. On the twenty-ninth night Allaah ransoms a
number equivalent to the number whom He has already ransomed during
the entire month."
This is a mawdoo' hadeeth. SeeDa'eef al-Targheeb, 591 andal-Silsilah
al-Da'eefah, 5468.
2 – It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that he heard the Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) say: "Paradise is scented with incense and adorned
throughout the year, in preparation for the beginning of the month of
Ramadaan. On the first night of the month of Ramadaan, a wind called
al-matheerah comes from beneath the Throne… And on each day of the
month of Ramadaan at the time of breaking the fast, Allaah has one
thousand thousand whom He ransoms from the Fire, all of whom deserved
to go to Hell. And on the last day of the month of Ramadaan, Allaah
ransoms on that day a number equivalent to all those whom He ransomed
from the beginning of the month to the end.
This is a mawdoo' hadeeth. SeeDa'eef al-Targheeb, 594.
3 – It was narrated that al-Hasan said: The Messenger of Allaah(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Every night of Ramadaan
Allaah has six hundred thousand whom He ransoms from the Fire. And on
the last night Allaah ransoms a number equivalent to those whom He has
already ransomed."
This is a da'eef hadeeth. SeeDa'eef al-Targheeb, 598.
