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.
