*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

The meaning of Allaah’s name al-Mu’min .,Names and Attributes of Allaah,-

|
What is the meaning of Allaah's name al-Mu'min (the Giver of Security)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah is al-Mu'min, the One Who will fulfil the promise to the
sincere. He calls His slaves to believe in Him and He has control over
the security of His creation in this world and in the Hereafter. And
He declares Himself to be One, as He says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Allaah bears witness that Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to
beworshipped but He)" [Aal 'Imraan 3:18]
Al-Mu'min is the one Who accepts His believing slaves, i.e., He
accepts their faith and sincerity and makes them steadfast. And He
fulfils His promise to His slave of reward.
He gives security to His close friends (awliya') bykeeping them safe
from His punishment and torment. So they are safe, and no one is safe
except those to whom He grants safety. He fulfils what His slaves
think of Him and never allows their hopes to be dashed.
He is the one Who declared Himself to be One, as He says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God — Allaah)" [al-Baqarah 2:163]
He is the One Who guarantees not to treat His creation unjustly, and
the one who does not deserve His punishment is safe from it.
He is the One Who will accept the testimony of His Muslim slaves on
the Day of Resurrection, when the nations will beasked whether the
Messengers conveyed the Message. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
" [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] has faith
in the believers" [al-Tawbah 9:61]
All of these attributes belong to Allaah becauseHe spoke the truth of
Tawheed to which He calls His slaves. He guarantees that His slaves
will not be treatedunjustly [in the Hereafter] and promises Paradise
to those who believe in Him and Hell to those who disbelieve in Him.
And He is the OneWho keeps His promise.

How should we imagine Allaah to be?.,Names and Attributes of Allaah,-

|
I do hope I am not asking a stupid question.I would like to know how a
believe in Islam should imagine Allah to be. I know He is invisiblebut
should I visualize him in a human form or a light. Please help me.
Thank you very much beforehand. May Allah's Blessings be always upon
you. Wassalaam.
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, All-Seer."
[al-Shoora 42:11].
There is nothing like unto Him, nothing that isequal or comparable to
Him or that can rival Him. He is far above any resemblance to any
created being. Whatevercrosses the mind of the son of Adam with
regardto his Lord, He is greater than that. No creature can encompass
Him, mayHe be glorified and exalted, or imagine what He looks like.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"… and they will never encompass anything of His
Knowledge." [Ta-Ha 20:110]
The Muslim is not supposed to try to imagine or picture Allaah;
rather, he has to believe in the sublime attributes which befit His
Might and Majesty in which there is none like unto Him. Part of the
'aqeedah (basic beliefs, creed) of the Muslims is that Allaah cannot
be seen in this world, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"No vision can grasp Him" [al-An'aam 6:103]
But the believers will seeHim in the Hereafter, in the gathering-place
where judgement will be passed, and in Paradise. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wasasked – as it was reported in
Saheeh Muslim – "Did you see your Lord?" He said, "I saw Light."
According to another report: "Light, how could I see Him?" This is in
accordance with what Allaah said to Moosa in Soorat
al-A'raaf(interpretation of the meaning):
" 'You cannot see Me'" i.e., in this world.
Neither the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) nor
anybody else has seen Allaah with his own two eyes. In the Hereafter,
when the people see Him in the place of gathering, they will fall down
in prostration before His Might and Majesty. Seeing Him in Paradise
will be the greatest of all the joys that the people of Paradise will
experience.
You have to recognize Allaah by the Names and Attributes which He has
told us about in His Book, and which His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us about.Do not occupy yourself
with something that is beyond you; devote yourself instead to
doingwhat your Lord has commanded you to do. Put aside these
whispersfrom the Shaytaan, and may Allaah help you to do that which
pleases Him.

Names and Attributes of Allaah,- Is Al-Rasheed one of the Names of Allaah?.

|
I have come across information conncerning the authenticity of
Ar-Rasheed as one of thenames of Allaah. However, I am unsure if this
is more correct than information I have been given from
Ash-Shawkaani's book"tuhfatu-dh dhaakireen". Could you please clarify
this for me.
Praise be to Allaah.
Al-Rasheed is not one of the Names of Allaah, because it was not
narrated either in the Qur'aan or in the SaheehSunnah. The Names of
Allaah are as they were narrated (with no room for ijtihaad). It is
not permissible to call Allaah by any names other thanthose by which
He calledHimself or He was called by His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him).
And Allaah knows best.

Knowledge in Islam and how to seek it

In this article we'll try to shed some light on knowledge from Islamic
perspective. Generally speaking, the Arabic word for knowledge is
'ilm, which, in mostcases, indicates to Islamic knowledge or matters
related to Sheree'ah (Islamic Law). Although, some of the Quranic
verses in this article refer to Islamic knowledge, yet they are
general in their meaning, and thus can be used to refer to learning in
general.
The importance of education is a none disputable matter. Education is
the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use. One can
safely say that a human being is not in the proper sense till he/she
is educated.
This importance of education is basically for two reasons. The first
is that the training of a human mind is not complete without
education. Education makes man a right thinker. It tells man how to
think and how to make decision.
The second reason for the importance of education is that only through
the attainment of education, man is enabled to receive information
from the external world; to acquaint himself with past history and
receive all necessary information regarding the present. Without
education, man is as though in a closed room and with education he
finds himself in a room with all its windows open towards theoutside
world.
This is why Islam attaches great importance to knowledge and
education. When the Quran began to be revealed, the first word of its
first verse was 'Iqra' that is, read. Allaah says, (what means):
"Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He
has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read!
And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by
the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not" [Quran, 96: 1-5]
Education is thus the starting point of every human activity. Allaah
created man and provided him with the tools for acquiring knowledge,
namely hearing, sight and wisdom. Allaah says (what means): "And
Allaah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you
know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you
might give thanks (to Allaah)" [Quran, 16:78]
A knowledgeable person is accorded great respect in many prophetic narrations.
Because of the importance of knowledge, Allaah commanded His Messenger
to seek more of it. Allaah says (what means): "and say: `My Lord!
Increase me inknowledge" [Quran, 20:114]
The Prophet made seeking knowledge an obligation upon every Muslim,
and he explained that the superiority of the one who has knowledge
overthe one who merely worships is like the superiority of the moon
over every other heavenly body. He said that the scholars are the
heirs of the Prophets and that the Prophets, may Allaah exalt their
mention did not leave behind any money, rather their inheritance was
knowledge, so whoever acquires it has gained a great share.
Furthermore, the Prophet said that seeking knowledge is a way leading
to Paradise . He said: "Whoever follows a path in the pursuit of
knowledge, Allaah will make a path to Paradise easy for him."
(Al-Bukhaari)
For example the Quran repeatedlyasks us to observe the earth and the
heavens. This instills in man adesire to learn natural science as
well. All the books of Hadeeth have a chapter on knowledge. In Saheeh
Al-Bukhaari there is a chapter entitled "The virtue of one who
acquires learning and imparts that to others."
Islam calls us to learn all kinds of beneficial knowledge. Branches of
knowledge vary in status, the highest of which is knowledge of
Sharee'ah (Islamic Law), then other fields of knowledge, such as
medicine, etc.
This is the knowledge (Sharee'ah)with which Allaah honoured His
Messenger ; He taught it to him so that he might teach it to mankind:
"Indeed, Allaah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent
among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto
them His Verses (the Quran),and purifying them (from sins by their
following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Quran) and
Al-Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e. his legal
ways, statements and acts of worship)],while before that they had been
in manifest error" [Quran, 3:164]
How great importance is attached to learning in Islam, canbe
understood from an event in the life of the Prophet . At thebattle of
Badr in which the Prophet gained victory over his opponents, seventy
people of the enemy rank were taken prisoner. These prisoners of war
were literate people. In order to benefit from their education the
Prophet declared that if one prisoner teaches ten Muslims how to read
and write, this will serve as his ransom and he will be set free. We
can freely say thatthis was the first school in the history of Islam
established by the Prophet himself with all its teachers being
non-Muslims. Furthermore, they were all war prisoners.
On the one hand Islam places great emphasis on learning, on the other,
all those factors which are necessary to make progress in learning
have been provided byAllaah. One of these special factors is the
freedom of research. One example of it is that in Makkah, the
birthplace of the Prophet dates were not grown. Afterwards the Prophet
migrated to Madeenah, the city of dates. One day the Prophet saw that
some people were atop the date trees busy in doing something. On being
asked what they were engaged in, they replied that they were
pollinating.
The Prophet suggested them not to do so. The following year date yield
was considerably very low. The Prophet enquired them of the reason.
They told him that the date crop depended on pollination. Since he
suggested them to do otherwise,they had refrained from that.
TheProphet then told them to goon doing as they used to, and that,
"You know the worldly matters better than me." (Al-Bukhaari)
Also we should know that there is no goodness in knowledge which is
not confirmed by actionsor words which are not confirmed by deeds,
Allaah the Almighty says (what means): "O you who believe! Why do you
say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allaah that you
say that which you do not do" [Quran, 61: 2-3]
Knowledge brings a great reward. The one who points the way to
something good is like the one who does it. When the knowledgeable
person dies, his reward with Allaah does not cease when he dies,
rather it continues to increase so long as people benefit from his
knowledge. The Prophet said: "When a man dies, all his deeds come to
an end except for three — an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge or
a righteous child who will pray for him." (Muslim)
On other side, a person without knowledge is like someone walking
along a track in complete darkness. Most likely his steps will wander
aside and Satan can easily deceive him. This shows that our greatest
danger lies in our ignorance of Islamic teachings in the first place
and in our unawareness of what the Quran teaches and what guidance has
been given by the Prophet .
On the other hand, if we are blessed with the light of knowledge we
will be able to seeplainly the clear path of Islam at every step of
our lives. We shall also be able to identify and avoid the dangerous
paths of disbelief, Shirk (associating with Allaah) and immorality,
which may cross it. And, whenever a false guide meets us on the way, a
few words with him will quickly establish that he is not a guide who
should be followed.
Knowledge is pursued and practiced with modesty and humility and leads
to dignity, freedom and justice.
The main purpose of acquiring knowledge is to bring us closer to our
Creator. It is not simply forthe gratification of the mind or the
senses. It is not knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Knowledge
accordingly must be linked with values and goals.
One of the purposes of acquiring knowledge is to gain the good of this
world, not to destroy it through wastage, arrogance and in the
reckless pursuit of higher standards of material comfort.
Six etiquettes of learning
lbn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah said:"There are six stages to knowledge:
Firstly: Asking questions in a good manner.
Secondly: Remaining quiet and listening attentively.
Thirdly: Understanding well.
Fourthly: Memorising.
Fifthly Teaching.
Sixthly- and it is its fruit: Acting upon the knowledge and keepingto
its limits."
Conclusion
According to Quranic perspective,knowledge is a prerequisite for the
creation of a just world in which authentic peace can prevail. In the
case of country's disorder or war the Quran emphasizes the importance
of the pursuit of learning, Allaah says (what means): "Nor should the
believers all go forth together: if a contingent from every expedition
remained behind, they could devote themselves to studies in religion,
and admonish the people when they return to them - that thus they (may
learn) to guard themselves (against evil)." [Quran,19:122]
