The Settling of Tawheed In This Life May 29, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Uncategorized , add a comment

“…While living in Afghanistan, I have realized that Tawhid

cannot penetrate into the soul of the human being, nor will

it intensify and strengthen-the way it does in the fields of

Jihad.

This is the Tawhid, regarding which the Messenger of

ALLAH (sallallahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

“I was sent before the hour with the sword…” [1]

Why?

“…so that ALLAH is worshipped Alone with no partners

with HIM.”

So: The settling of Tawhid in this world, is done by the

sword…not by reading books, not by studying the books

of ‘Aqidah…

Indeed, the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu `alayhe wa sallam)

taught us that Tawhid Al-Uluhiyyah-which was the reason why

he was sent ,so that Tawhid Al-Uluhiyyah can be established

in the people, and on the earth…He taught us that Tawhid

cannot be learned by study lessons…

No, it can only be brought up and raised (through Tarbiyyah)

in the souls, through confrontations in battles, and events which

take place from stances taken in the face of the Tawaghit

through sacrifices which the soul of the human puts forth…

Every time the soul of a human sacrifices something for this

Din-this Din will open up its subtle beauties for him, and it will

unveil its treasures for him.

Sayyid Qutb (rahimahuAllah) said:

“Verily, this Din, does not reveal its hidden beauties to a

cold sitting “Faqih” who does not struggle to establish the

Din upon this earth. This Din is not a cake which you can

refrigerate in your brain. Rather, this Din is only understood

through struggling to return it into the sphere of life, and

building its society once more.”

Yes…this Din…you will not grasp it, except according to

what you give for its sake…Give for its sake , then it will

give you…the rule of “Give and Take”…

Sacrifice! Then the Lord of the Worlds will open the

doors for you…

Put forth sacrifices for this Din-ALLAH (Most Glorified)

will teach you HIS Ayat and Ahadith…

As a basic rule, you will not be able to understand many

Verses, except when it is a reality you are going through-

a reality of Jihad.”

[Taken from: 'The Tawhid of Action' by Shaikh Abdullah

Azzam (rahimahuAllah)]

[1] Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud recorded that
`Abdullah bin `Umar (radiya Allahu Anh) said that
the Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

???????? ??????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ????? ???????? ????? ???????? ??? ??????? ????? ???????? ??????? ?????? ????? ???????? ???????? ?????????? ??????????? ????? ???? ??????? ???????? ?????? ????????? ???????? ?????? ???????

I was sent with the sword just before the Hour so that ALLAH
be worshipped alone without partners. My provision was
placed under the shadow of my spear, and those who defy
my order were disgraced and humiliated, and he who
imitates a people is one of them.

Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat May 27, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Muslims, Naseeha, Qur'an, hadith, knowledge , 1 comment so far

Salaam Alaaykum Warahmatullah,

Inshaallah today our post will be about Taheed Al-Asmaa was-Sifaat which is maintaining the unity of the names and attribute of Allah Azzawajaal.

This category of Tawheed has five main aspects:

1. For the unity of Allaah’s names and attributes to be maintained in the first aspect, Allaah must be referred to according to how He and His Prophet (saws) have described Him without explaining away His names and attributes by giving them meanings other than their obvious meanings. For example, Allaah in the Qur’aan says He gets angry with the disbelievers and the hypocrites. He says:

“That He may punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the pagans men and women, who have an evil opinion of Allaah. A circle of evil is around them; Allaah is angry with them, curses them and has prepared for them an evil end.”

Thus, anger is one of God’s attributes. It is incorrect to say that His anger must mean His punishment since anger is a sign of weakness in man and, as such, not befitting of Allaah. What Allaah has stated should be accepted with the qualification that His anger is not like human anger, based on Allaah’s statement, “There is nothing like him”. The process of so-called “rational” interpretation when taken to its logical conclusion results in the denial of God’s very existence. For, Allaah describes Himself as living and man lives, therefore, according to the rationalist argument, God is neither living nor existing. The fact is that the similarity between God’s attributes and those of mankind is only in name and not in degree. When attributes are used in reference to God, they are to be taken in the absolute sense, free from human deficiencies.

2. The second aspect of Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat involves referring to Allaah as He has referred to Himself without giving Him any new names or attributes. For example, Allaah may not be given the name al-Ghaadib (the Angry one), in spite of the fact that He has said that He gets angry, because neither Allaah nor His messenger has used this name. This may seem to be a very fine point, but it must be maintained in order to prevent the false description of God. That is, finite man is in no position to define the infinite Lord of creation.

3. In the third aspect of Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat Allaah is referred to without giving Him the attributes of His creation. For example, it is claimed in the Bible and Torah that Allaah spent the first six days creating the universe then slept on the seventh. For this reason, Jews and Christians take either Saturday or Sunday as a day of rest in which work is looked at as a sin. Such a claim assigns to God the attributes of His creation. It is man who tires after heavy work and needs sleep to recuperate. Elsewhere in the Bible and Torah, God is portrayed as repenting for His bad thoughts in the same way that humans do when they realize their errors.Similarly the claim that God is a spirit or has a spirit completely ruins this area of Tawheed. Allaah does not refer to Himself as a spirit anywhere in the Qur’aan nor does His Prophet (saws) express anything of that nature in Hadeeth. In fact, Allaah refers to the spirit as part of His creation.

The key principle which should be followed when dealing with Allaah’s attributes is the Qur’ânic formula,

“There is nothing like Him and He is hearer and seer of all.”

The attributes of hearing and seeing are among human attributes, but when they are attributed to The Divine Being they are without comparison in their perfection. However, when these attributes are associated with men they necessitate ear and eye apparatuses which can not be attributed to God. What man knows about the Creator is only what little He has revealed to him through His prophets. Therefore, man is obliged to stay within these narrow limits. When man gives free rein to his intellect in describing God, he is liable to fall into errors by assigning to Allaah the attributes of His creation.

In their love of pictorial representations, Christians have painted, carved and molded innumerable human likenesses and called them images of God. These have served to pave the way for the acceptance of Jesus’ divinity among the masses. Once they accepted the conception of the Creator as being like a human being, accepting Jesus as God presented no real problem.

4. The fourth aspect of Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat requires that man not be given the attributes of Allaah. For example, in the New Testament Paul takes the figure of Melchizedek, king of Salem, from the Torah (Genesis 14:18-20) and gives both him and Jesus the divine attribute of having no beginning or end,

“1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,2 and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.3 He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the son of God he continues a priest forever.“

“5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, ‘Thou art my son, today I have begotten thee’; 6 as he says also in another place, ‘Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek’.

Most Shi’ite sects (with the exception of the Zaidites of Yemen) have given their “Imaams” divine attributes of absolute infallibility,knowledge of the past, the future and the unseen, the ability to change destiny and control over the atoms of creation. In so doing they set up rivals who share God’s unique attributes and who, in fact, become gods besides Allaah.

5. Maintaining the unity of Allaah’s names also means that Allaah’s names in the definite form cannot be given to His creation unless preceded by the prefix ‘Abd meaning “slave of” or “servant of’. Many of the Divine names in their indefinite form like Ra’oof and Raheem are allowable names for men because Allaah has used some of them in their indefinite forms to refer to the Prophet (saws):

“A messenger has come to you from among yourselves to whom anything which burdens you is grievous. He is full of concern for you and is full of pity (Ra’oof) and full of mercy (Raheem)”.

But Ar-Ra’oof (the One Most Full of Pity) and Ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful) can only be used to refer to men if they are preceded by ‘Abd as in ‘Abdur-Ra’oof or ‘Abdur-Raheem, since in the definite form they represent a level of perfection which only belongs to God. Similarly, names like ‘Abdur-Rasool (slave of the messenger), ‘Abdun-Nabee (slave of the Prophet), ‘Abdul-Husayn (slave of Husayn), etc., where people name themselves slaves to other than Allaah are also forbidden. Based on this principle, the Prophet (saws) forbade Muslims from referring to those put under their charge as ‘Abdee (my slave) or Amatee (my slave girl).
