NO BIGGER CREATION EXCEPT…
In the Name of Allāh. The bigger creation! What is the bigger creation? As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, it was reported the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “From the time of the creation of Adam until the Hour begins, there will never be a bigger creation than the Dajjal (Anti-Christ).” He mentioned, “Bigger matter” in another narration. […]
NO MORE ACCEPTANCE
In the Name of Allāh. We truly believe that Allāh pardons a transgressor when penitence is made and he sincerely abandons disbelief for faith. However, there are some major antecedent matters (or signs) to the event of the Hereafter (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) that scholars of Usul said won’t appear except when Eemān (Belief) […]
HIS WILL SUPERSEDE
In the Name of Allāh. Perfect praise is to Him Who created all things (known and unknown). He is the Sustainer of all creations – free from all wants. Allāh says (in Sūrah Adh-Dhariyat[51] verses 57-58): “I seek not any provision from them (i.e., provision for themselves or My creatures) nor do I ask that […]
THE HOURIS OF JANNAH
In the Name of Allāh. One of the eternal ecstasies of Paradise promised to the righteous believers is having spouses; cute and equal in age. Allāh says (in Sūrah Yasīn [36] verse 56): “They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.” One should know that the righteous couples (i.e. married men […]
BE CAREFUL WITH THEM
In the Name of Allāh. Can you imagine the ones you consider the “learned” of Islām who perform Magic (which is Shirk), listen to music, engage in unlawful sexual activities, consume intoxicants, abandon prayer, involved in one Bid’ah (heretic innovation) or the other and enjoin people to commit serious transgressions like consuming human blood or […]
ALONE FOR HIM
In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, worship is a comprehensive term that includes all actions (such as praying, fasting, supplicating, giving charity, calling to the Religion of Allāh, etc.) that are pleased by Allāh and done solely for Him in all sincerity (i.e. establishing that He Alone deserves it since He is our Lord) with […]
HEARS AND SEES NOT
In the Name of Allah. Truly, disbelief is inanity. Let’s chew over the ease of correctly knowing Islam. Then, why are some people still heedless? Why do they display deafness and dumbness to the truth when they may physiologically not be deaf or dumb? Why should one worship other than Allah Who created one? Allah […]
IN THE GRAVE
In the Name of Allāh. The fact that a person died doesn’t necessarily indicate his soul is finally dead. It rather implies the soul leaves the body to continue its existence in the minor or individual hereafter, whether for punishment or enjoyment. It was reported the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever dies, his Qiyamah (i.e. Resurrection […]
SOLACE TO THE STRICKEN
In the Name of Allah. Verily, harm (likewise benefit) is only from Allah and none among His creations can avert it when decreed. Therefore, there is neither need nor justification to invoke anyone other than Allah to remove an affliction – avert it before it strikes, bring a type of good or cause it to […]
WHETHER IN EASE OR HARDSHIP…
In the Name of Allāh. The greatest blessing Allāh could bestow upon a person is that He grants him or her Eemān (Islām – that the person is a Muslim). Then, one of the greatest blessings of Faith is that everything Allāh decrees for the believer, whether in ease or hardship, will be good for […]
