The Right of Allah - Divinity (1)

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ، وَبَعْدُ،

Everything other than Allah and His attributes is a creation, and Allah is the sole Creator of the entire creation. This includes things that existed before us, things we see today, things we have heard of but have not seen, and things that will exist in the future—all part of Allah's creation. He has established various causes for the appearance of each of His creations through different means.

Suppose one were to ask, "How can we say everything is Allah's creation when we do not see them dropping from heaven?" They do not necessarily have to drop from heaven to be considered Allah's creation. Just as we believe that we and those before us, as well as those to come after us, are created by Allah, even though we did not drop from heaven, we are still His creation.

To create means to make something out of nothing. Every creation originated from something, and that something from another thing, and so on, until the initial entity that came from nothing, which was indeed created by Allah. While Allah could have made everything drop naturally from heaven, He chose to let things appear through various means and causes.

This is why Allah said in the Holy Quran:
اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ
_"Allah is the Creator of everything, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs."_ (Quran 39:62)

A simple analogy to illustrate this concept is how we attribute the development of a country to its President or leader. We often say the President has done such and such, even though we know it was not the President who directly performed every single action. We believe that things are done by his order and command, and thus attribute the achievements to him.

However, regarding Allah, it is not just an order; He is the Creator of every action involved, and He empowers every cause used to bring about His creation. Denying this right—that Allah is the Creator—or believing that there is something else that can also create, thus not acknowledging Allah as the absolute Creator, is a clear violation of His most fundamental right. This is considered shirk because it involves associating something else with Allah in His exclusive right of being the Creator. Divinity here means maintaining that Allah is the Creator of the entire universe.

Believing that Allah is the absolute Creator makes us understand that He is also the Owner and Controller of the creation. Since there is no other absolute power besides Him, believing that anything else has the same power as Allah in ownership and control of His creation is another form of shirk. Allah has indeed given certain powers to some of His creations to perform miraculous acts, but we must believe that this power was only granted by Allah. Shirk occurs if we believe that such power was generated by those beings themselves or that they have powers similar to Allah. In fact, nothing happens unless He wills it. As He said:

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
"And you do not will except that Allah wills, the Lord of the worlds." (Quran 81:29).

In the next post, I will share some grave issues being injected into kids nowadays over the internet that jeopardize the belief of future generations of Muslims if parents do not address this issue.

Ruiners of Good Deeds (4):

(i) Associating Partner with Allah (Shirk) (c):

بسم اللّٰه، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول اللّٰه، وبعد،

As we have learned, associating partners with Allah is the only grave sin that Allah has informed us He will never forgive unless the person repents before they pass away. The gravity of this sin goes beyond not being forgiven by Allah—it ruins one's good deeds.

This is why Allah warned all His Prophets, and addressed this warning to Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) against Shirk, as Allah says:

وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ (الزمر 65)
"Indeed, it has been revealed to you, as it was to those before you: 'If you associate others with Allah, your deeds will surely be nullified, and you will certainly be among the losers.'" (Az-Zumar 39:65)

This is why, in an authentic Hadith, as recorded by Al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه a Dua to seek Allah's protection against Shirk in his saying صلى الله عليه وسلم:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك أن أُشْرِكَ بك وأنا أعلم، وأستغفرك لما لا أعلم

Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a'lam, wa astaghfiruka limā lā a'lam.

"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know."

This Dua has been recommended by scholars as one of the dhikr (remembrances) to be made every morning and evening, also known as أذكار الصباح والمساء (Adhkar al-Sabah wal-Masa), which translates to "morning and evening remembrances."

If one may ask, what is really Shirk? A brief answer would be attributing anything that is solely Allah's right to other than Him. Any action or right that is exclusively Allah's, diverting that to someone or something other than Him is considered associating partners with Allah in that aspect.

Something about this right will be discussed in our next post, In Sha Allah.

Reflecting on Injustices:

I am going to share some links on understanding Shirk further, but before that, let's reflect on the injustices happening around us. Remember those innocent children, women, and men in various parts of the world who have lost the privileges that you enjoy, not due to any fault of their own, but because of the injustices inflicted by selfish enemies of humanity. Remember to pray for them and remind yourself that it is obligatory upon you to do whatever you can, even if it has the smallest impact, to help improve their situations, and to support the brave individuals resisting the wicked invaders.

Why is shirk, or idolatry, an unforgivable sin in Islam? Why is it considered the ultimate evil, that it damns a person to Hellfire?

Ruiners of Good Deeds (3):

(i) Associating Partner with Allah (Shirk) (b):

بسم اللّٰه، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول اللّٰه، وبعد،

As we have learned, associating partners with Allah, also known as Shirk, is the gravest form of injustice. Its consequence is so severe that it is the only sin Allah does not forgive if one dies without repenting from it. Allah is more merciful than we can imagine—His mercy surpasses His wrath. It is possible that someone dies with sins they have not repented from, as death often comes without notice. In such cases, Allah alone knows what will happen to those who did not repent from their sins. It is possible that Allah may forgive those unrepented sins through various means: the prayer upon their dead body, the supplications of friends and family, their good deeds performed in life, some trials and afflictions or difficulties they faced in this world, or simply out of His mercy, as He is Al-Ghaffār (The Ever-Forgiving).

However, if the sin in question is Shirk, Allah has clearly indicated that He will not forgive it. This means the only chance for forgiveness is to repent from it during one's lifetime. After death, if they did not repent from Shirk, other sins may be forgiven, but not Shirk. This is why Allah said:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ (النساء ٤٨)
"Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." (An-Nisa 4:48)

However, one might point out another verse where Allah says:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا (الزمر ٥٣)
"Indeed, Allah forgives all sins." (Az-Zumar 39:53)

Yes, you are right. This verse means that Allah forgives every sin that one sincerely repents from, even Shirk. But the earlier verse refers to sins one did not repent from until they meet their Lord. That is why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said in an authentic Hadith reported by Jabir bin Abdullah:

مَن لَقِيَ اللَّهَ لا يُشْرِكُ به شيئًا دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ، ومَن لَقِيَهُ يُشْرِكُ به دَخَلَ النَّارَ
"Whoever meets Allah without associating anything with Him will enter Paradise, and whoever meets Him associating anything with Him will enter Hell." (Muslim, Hadith 135)

There is one more point about this that we will mention in our
next post, In Sha Allah.

*Ruiners of Good Deeds (2):*

*_(i) Associating Partner with Allah (ash-Shirk) (a):_*

بسم اللّٰه ، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول اللّٰه، وبعد،

Imagine being employed by a company that brings you into its country, covers all your expenses and those of your family, offers generous allowances, and provides everything you could possibly need. At the end of the contract, it promises you a substantial salary that would ensure an everlasting comfortable life. This company is the only one capable of such generosity. Your task is simply to perform certain duties, for which the company provides all the necessary guidance, access to trainers, and is forgiving of mistakes. Your job is straightforward and requires only a limited amount of your time.

However, instead of fulfilling your duties, you use your office hours to work for a rival company that only promises you potential benefits but, in reality, cannot offer anything comparable to your current employer. Sometimes, you even leave your workplace to work at the rival company's office, seduced by their false promises. Is this fair? Certainly, everyone would consider this one of the greatest injustices.

A fitting example to illustrate this scenario is that of a football player. Imagine a team purchases a player, brings him to their country, offers him everything, and grants him a lucrative contract. Yet, this player goes to play for a rival team, sometimes during the hours he is supposed to play for the team that has provided him with everything. Meanwhile, the rival team offers him nothing but false promises. Is this fair? No, it is clearly an injustice.

I use this example to appeal to our logic. However, you cannot truly compare Allah's attributes and actions with those of His creation. Now, consider Allah and His creation:

Allah created humanity, provides for all their needs, and oversees all their affairs. No one else can offer what He does, as He is their Creator, Owner, Sustainer, and Lord. He created them solely to worship Him, سبحانه. Yet, He did not demand that they dedicate all 24 hours of their day to rituals. Instead, He designated short periods for worship, allowing flexibility, and promised immense rewards in their next life. However, some choose to dedicate their worship to others besides Him, to beings He created. Is this fair or just? No, it is the worst form of injustice.

This is why Luqman, the servant of Allah blessed with wisdom and known as Luqman al-Hakim (Luqman the Wise), offered a list of advices to his son, the first of which is, as Allah informed us in the Holy Quran:

يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ
My son, do not associate anything with Allah. Indeed, association with Him is a great injustice. (Surah Luqman verse 13)

Associating anything with Allah, known in Islamic terms as shirk, is the worst form of injustice and ruins all the good deeds of a believer (may Allah protect us).

In Sha Allah, we will elaborate on this in the next post.

*The Month of Muharram (2)*

بسم اللّٰه ، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول اللّٰه ، وبعد،

The month of Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. Additionally, it is one of the four sacred months in Islam. The sins committed in these four months are considered greater, as are the rewards for good deeds performed. This implies that we should exercise extra caution in avoiding sins during Muharram and strive to maximize our good deeds.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The best fast after the month of Ramadan is in the month of Allah, Muharram" (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1163). Meaning, aside from the obligatory fasting of Ramadan, fasting during Muharram is the best form of Sunnah fasting.

When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم arrived in Madinah, he found the Yahud, who had settled there in anticipation of the coming of the promised Prophet from among them after Isa (Jesus) عليه السلام, fasting on the 10th of Muharram, known as Ashura. They explained that they fasted on this day because it was the day Allah saved Banu Isrāel from Pharaoh. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "We are more entitled to Musa than you" (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 4680). The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم fasted on this day and recommended Muslims to do the same.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم later said that if he were to live until the following year, he would fast on the 9th as well. In another narration, he instructed, "Oppose the yahud; fast a day before or a day after Ashura (in addition to fasting Ashura)" (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1134).

From these ahadeeth, we understand that Muharram is a sacred month during which good deeds are greatly rewarded, and fasting in this month holds special significance.

In the next post, we will discuss the different levels of fasting during Muharram, in Sha Allah.

_To be continued soon, in Sha Allah._

The Month of Muharram (1)

بسم اللّٰه، والحمد للّه، والصلاة والسلام على رسول اللّٰه، وبعد،

As Muslims, we believe that our purpose on this earth is to prepare for our eternal life, to build a home in an everlasting paradise beneath which rivers flow (may Allah grant us all Jannah). Therefore, whatever helps us in achieving that goal is a worthy endeavor, while anything that distracts us from that objective is vain and wasteful. Unfortunately, for many, this realization often comes only at the point of death, a time when regrets are futile. This is why Allah says in the Holy Quran:

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

"And seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; but do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters." (Quran 28:77)

In this verse, Allah commands His creation to use whatever they have been given to build their eternal home. Therefore, the believer must be sincere in every effort, so that each act serves them in the afterlife. This applies to both religious matters, where sincerity is essential for validity, and worldly acts, where sincerity may not be required, but a good intention can bring reward. However, at the same time, Allah reminds us not to deprive ourselves of His blessings, as long as they are halal and attained through lawful means. Enjoying the beauty of the halal aspects of this world revitalizes one's soul and enhances one's ability to engage in acts of worship solely for the hereafter.

Thus, while working for the hereafter is paramount, we should not forget our share of this world, as Allah said: "وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا" (and do not forget your share of the world). This indicates that the world should not be our primary focus, but we should still partake in it, acknowledging that people's portions of this world vary in type and level.

It is important to understand that good deeds serve two purposes in the hereafter:

1. To counterbalance our sins so that we may be saved from Hell and granted Jannah.

2. To achieve and secure a higher rank in Jannah: as Jannah has different levels, and the more good deeds one performs, the higher their rank. Therefore, even after securing a place in Jannah, one needs more good deeds to achieve a higher rank.

One significant concern is that we have no guarantee that all our deeds are accepted or that we have not performed actions that nullify many of our good deeds. Hence, we need more good deeds to at least give us peace of mind that there is not much to fear, In sha Allah, as our hope in His mercy, following our good deeds, overcomes the fear

And here is the good news: Allah, in His mercy, has created numerous opportunities throughout the year where small good deeds yield great rewards. These are seasonal opportunities, and they are brief, so we must grab them when they arise, before it's too late.

For instance, during Ramadan, a little effort yields a lot of reward. After Ramadan, we have the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, and now we are in Muharram, which the Prophet ﷺ described as "the month of Allah." He said in an authentic hadith: "The best fasting after Ramadan is fasting the month of Allah, Muharram."

(To be continued soon, In Sha Allah).

Yusuf (عليه السلام) and his Imprisonment

بسم الله، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول.
Prophet Yusuf (عليه السلام) was imprisoned due to false accusations. His imprisonment represents a type of trial, exemplifying one of the many challenges that may befall the servants of Allah.

Trials befall both believers and non-believers. However, the difference between the two is that believers emerge victorious, while non-believers do not share the same fate. Allah states in the Quran:

إِن تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُونَ ‎﴿النساء: ١٠٤﴾

> "If you are suffering, they [the enemy] are suffering just as you are, yet you hope from Allah what they cannot hope for." [Surah An-Nisa, 4:104]

Trials faced by believers can stem from both positive and negative sources and individuals, but all serve as trials. Trials arising from our sins act as a means of purification and reward for our patience. When trials occur beyond our control, they elevate the believer's status in both this world and the Hereafter, or at least in the Hereafter. If the trials originate from malicious individuals, the believer triumphs while the source of malice becomes miserable and unfortunate. Conversely, trials from innocent sources signify that Allah has destined these challenges for our benefit. It is important to remember that our actions towards others may eventually return to us, facilitated by either benevolent or malevolent individuals.

Reflecting on Yusuf's (عليه السلام) ordeal, it is evident that this trial ultimately served his good. Scholars have mentioned that the same woman who was responsible for his imprisonment later became his wife, illustrating that her actions, albeit wrongful, were part of a divine plan for Yusuf (عليه السلام).

A man once asked Imam Shafi'i: "O Abu Abdullah, which is better for a man, to be empowered or to be tested?" Imam Shafi'i responded:

> لا يُمكَن حتى يُبتلى
> "One cannot be empowered without first being tested."

This dialogue highlights a fundamental Islamic teaching: blessings and trials are interconnected. A believer's gratitude for blessings may elevate him above those who are tested yet lack patience. Conversely, a believer's patience during trials earns divine rewards.

Allah said:

> أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ [العنكبوت: 2]

> "Do people think they will be left alone because they say, 'We believe,' and will not be tested?" [Surah Al-Ankabut, 29:2]

It is also crucial to distinguish between what we perceive as blessings and what are merely luxuries or superficial forms of "happiness."For luxuries or "happiness" to be considered true blessings, they must originate from legitimate sources and not be obtained at the expense of harming others.

Furthermore, they should serve as means that bring us closer to Allah and enhance our spiritual well-being. Only then can such luxuries and perceived happiness be regarded as true blessings.Thus, the man's question to Imam Shafi'i was about the true blessings, not the mere luxuries or transient happiness.

Now, let's explore what the prison meant for Yusuf (عليه السلام):

1. The isolation in prison provided Yusuf (عليه السلام) an opportunity to deepen his connection with Allah, away from worldly distractions, as if it was to prepare him for something BİG. Our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), as we have learned, sought solitude in the Cave of Hira around the time when the revelation was about to begin.

2. The prison served as a means for Yusuf (عليه السلام) to be discovered. Sometimes, people may have hidden treasures among them. However, these treasures may not have necessarily discovered themselves, nor are they easily recognized by others. Often, it is through crises or significant events that these hidden gems are unearthed. In this way, Yusuf (عليه السلام) was first recognized by his fellow inmates in the prison, which subsequently led to his broader discovery. This situation also highlights the value of good companionship.

3. The prison became a means to clear his name from false accusations and eventually led to his rise to a position of significant authority. Also, we learn that whoever forsakes something for the sake of Allah will be compensated with something better in return. Yusuf left behind the evil, and as a consequence, he was granted higher and greater blessings and many more..

4. Yusuf's ability to interpret dreams was crucial in transitioning him from a prisoner to a key advisor, demonstrating how personal talents can serve broader societal needs when rightly positioned.

5. His experiences in prison prepared him for the leadership roles he would later assume, illustrating that sometimes, significant challenges prepare us for greater responsibilities.

Allah knows best.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ،

1️⃣ Imagine offering just a single meal to someone in need, and it being equivalent to providing 30,000 meals or more. Consider a single utterance of dhikr, such as reciting
"سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ" (subḥānallāh),

or أَسْتٓغْفِرُ اللّٰه (astaghfirullāh)

being akin to reciting it more than 30,000 times.

Or performing just two rak'ahs of prayer as if you have prayed more than 60,000 rak'ahs.

Similarly, a single act of kindness towards your parents, family, or neighbor is counted as if you had been doing it for more than 60,000 days. And reciting a single verse once is considered as if you had repeated the verse 60,000 times or more. Do you believe this is possible? Indeed, Allah may amplify the reward for good deeds for whom He wishes, as a result of their intention or sincerity, or the necessity of the deed at that moment and the problem it resolves.

However, this concept, when applied to every deed by anyone, as long as they perform it sincerely, is technically feasible *only on Laylatul Qadr*.
Allah has stated about this night,
"خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ" (Khayrun min alf shahr)
, meaning "better than a thousand months."

Thus, considering a month to comprise 29 or 30 days, this equates to the calculation mentioned above, or more.

2️⃣ *But when is Laylatul Qadr?*

Laytul Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramadan. Is it specifically on the night of the 27th? While that is the most prevalent view, it is also suggested it could fall on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, or even the 29th night.

Furthermore, it is mentioned that the night could vary or shift, potentially making it the 22nd, 24th, 26th, or 28th.

With all these possibilities, and no certainty, what remains clear is that it falls within the last nine nights of Ramadan, beginning from the 21st. This implies that by dedicating oneself and striving throughout these nine nights, much like a student who reviews all lessons in preparation for exams due to uncertainty about the exam content, mastering the material ensures success.

3️⃣ While we often invest significant effort in worldly pursuits, whether for exams, projects, or other goals, these endeavors are temporary, ending or remaining here when one's lifetime concludes.

Conversely, good deeds are what endure with an individual in the Hereafter. The only opportunity for these deeds is during one's lifetime, after which no further chances exist. Who knows if this might be one's last Ramadan, making it a crucial time to invest in what will be needed for their final abode...

Moreover, during these final ten days, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) intensified his acts of worship.

4️⃣ It's also important to note that many assume *tahajjud* prayers are the *main deed* to perform on Laylatul Qadr.

While night prayers are indeed a crucial act of worship during Ramadan, *the reward* of more than a thousand months *applies to every deed* performed on that night. Therefore, it is wise to engage in various acts of worship throughout the night, including prayers, recitation of the Quran, feeding and donating to the needy, dhikr, du'a, kindness towards one's parents, family, neighbors, repentance, and any form of good deed.

Since Laylatul Qadr occurs at night, many prefer to rest during the day to engage in worship and good deeds throughout the night.

5️⃣ *Is there anything specific for Laylatul Qadr?*

Regarding specific actions during Laylatul Qadr, although each good deed is rewarded, Tahajjud or night prayer stands out as particularly significant. Moreover, when our mother Aisha asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) what to recite during Laylatul Qadr, he advised her to say:

*اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي*

_(Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni)_

"O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me."

In another narration, it is mentioned:

*اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي*

_(Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun karimun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni),_

"O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning and Generous, You love to pardon, so pardon me."

Thus, it is highly recommended to recite this du'a frequently during these nights.

Scholars also recommend continuous recitation of the dhikr:

" *لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ"*

_Lā ilāha illā Allāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr._

"There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone without any partner. To Him belongs dominion, to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things omnipotent."

*May Allah grant us the opportunity to witness Laylatul Qadr, endowing us with the physical and spiritual strength to perform righteous deeds and bestow upon us His rewards.*

Ameen

*Note:* The time of Laylatul Qadr starts from Magreb and continous till Fajr
