Belief in AL-QADAR and AL-QADHAH

The sixth condition of true faith is to believe in divine providence(al-Qadar.).
It is necessary  to explain the nature of the free will of a man (al-iradah al juz'iyyah), for without this initial explanation it is sometimes hard to understand the issues of Al-Qadar and Al Qadhah.

 AL-IRADAH AL-JUZ'IYYAH
Al-Iradah al-juz'iyyah is the limited will of authority and wish given to a human being by Allah, the Most Great. However, this limited will power is of great significance, For, if one uses his free will for a good deed, Allah the Most High, creates that worthwhile action. On the other hand, if one makes use of his will power for a bad deed , Allah, the Most High, brings into existence that evil action.For this reason, one enters either heaven or hell according to his or her own free will. Yes, the Creator is solely Allah, the Most High.If Allah wishes not and if He creates not, nothing comes into existence and nothing occurs. A human being is only the one who wishes and works, while Allah the Most Great is the One Who creates.
Al-Iradah al juz'iyyah bears a resemblance to the streeing wheel of an automobile goes in whichever direction the the steering wheel is turned.That is why, one who rebels against the divine orders of Allah the Most Great is by no means in a position to escape liability for the sin by saying "What could I do when Allah had so wished and created....", Yes, Allah had so  wished, but He also had wished for His Slave to obediently use his free will and effort.As a matter of fact, if such a free will didn't exist (i.e  a will of preference), then ALLAH, the Most High, wouldn't have need to give to His slaves the occasion of a final examination, for He would then have forced His slaves to commit either good or evil deeds without their free will. To the contrary, ALLAH, the Most High, is far from ever forcing His Slaves to commit a sin without the involvement of their free will and then punishing them for it.
Some say: "The souls of some prostrated before ALLAH, the Most Great, in pre-existence while those of others did not. It is those whose souls had not prostrated at the time who die as unbelievers(qafirs)." Never by any means can this be true. This baseless allegation in fact shakes foundation os faith(al-iman). In pre-existence there was no opportunity for objection. That was a time when each and every soul willingly prostrated to their creator, when ALLAH the Lord summoned the souls to test their faith with the divine question: "Alastu bi Rabbikum?" (Am I not your Lord? ), to which all the souls unanimously replied:"Bala!" (Yes, O lord! You are our Lord!) thus declaring their allegiance.
Beyond this, some other mistaken thinkers say: "Whatever you do, ALLAH gives divine guidance (al-Hidayah) to whomever he wishes and he gives corruption(al-Dalalah) to whomever he wishes ". This claim is wrong and unjustified as well.Most misinterpret and incorrectly explain the ayah regarding this matter. My teacher and Master (Ustadh), Suleyman Hilmi Tunahan Efendi (May ALLAH be pleased with him) has interpreted and explained the ayah related to this issue as follows: "ALLAH  , the Most Great, bestows divine guidance (al-Hidayah) to those who ask for al-Hidayah and He gives corruption (al-Dalalah) to those who demand al-Dalalah."

Belief in the Day of Judgement

Belief in the Day of Judgement(Al-Yawm Al-Akhir)
The fifth essential condition of faith (al-iman) is to believe in the Day of Judgement.In other wordsi it şs to believe in the blowing of the trumpet, in the raising of the dead from their graves, in the handing to everyone of his/her Book of Deeds ,in the assembling on the plain of the Final Judgement, in the questioning and in the weighing on the scale(balance) of the deeds done in the previous life in the world , in the intercession(al-Shafa'ah) , in the bridge (al-Sirat), in the fountain (al-Kawthar), in paradis(al-Cannah), in hell (al-Cahannam), and in other issues regarding life in the hereafter.
The Hereafter (al-Akhirah) is the endless  life after this temporary worldly life, Allah the Most Great has created this world and the whole creation for a limited period of time.With the first blowing of the trumpet by Raphael(Israfil, a.s.), Doomsday will suddenly begin, the whole of living creation will die, and our world along with the whole universe will be shattered. With the second blowing of the trumpet, the whole of creation will be brought back to life by Allah , the Almighty, and wil be assembled on the vast plain of the Final Judgement. There , the whole of the creation  will be questioned individually about his/her worldly deeds. At the end of the Final Judgement the good shall be stationed in Paradise and the evil in Hell.One who desbelieves in the Hereafter is considered to disbelieve in Allah the Unique One and in His Prophet (s.a.s.).

Friday, March 21, 2014

Belief in the Prophets

Faith in the Prophets
The fourth essential condition of faith (al-iman) is to believe in the Prophets(a.s.). The Prophets were individual of exceptionally hgh character who were chsen by Allah, the Most High,to receive and then to communicate His commands,ordinances, prohibitions, and good tidings to His Servants.The prophets were emissaries from Allah, the Most Great, chosen to turn man away from errors like associating partner with Allah,the Most High , or  worshipping idols and to guide true believers to happiness both in this world and the Hereafter.As the intelligence of man is insufficient by itself to find the right way to salvation,Allah, the Most High, sent Prophets for the purpose of assisting His servants in their search.The Prophets were supported by Allah,The Most High,with miracles in which many extraordinary phenomena, the like of which had never been deemed impossible, were easily performed through the divine grace and permission of Allah, the Most High.
The first man and the first Prophet was Adam(a.s.).

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

Belief in His Books

Belief in His BOOKS
The third article of faith (al-iman) is to believe in the holy scriptures.Allah the most Great from time to time revealed to creation through His Prophets(a.s.) the holy books.Thus ,He could communicate to mankind His wishes, His commands, His prohibitions and in general His divine wisdom.These holy scriptures are collectively referred to as the divine books.
The total number of the divine books(al-Kutub) and smaller collections of pages(al-Suhuf) that were revealed to Prophets (a.s.) by means of Gabriel (a.s.) is one hundred and four.

THE PAGES(AL-SUHUF)
There are 100 pages.They are as follows:
a) Ten Pages to Adam (a.s.)
b) Fifty Pages to Seth (Shith a.s.)
c)Thirty pages to Enoch (Idris a.s.)
d)Ten Pages to Abraham (Ibrahim a.s.)

THE BOOKS(AL-KUTUB)
The holy scriptures, each shown together with the Prophet who receive it, are listed in order of revelation as follows:
1-The Torah (Taurat) to Moses(Musa a.s.)
2-The Psalms (Zaboor) to David (Dawood a.s.)
3-The Gospel (Injil) to Jesus Christ (Isa a.s.)
4-The Noble Qur'an to Muhammad (s.a.s.) the last Prophet. With the Glorious Qur'an the obligation of following the orders of the first three books was canceled.The Noble Qur'an is composed of 6666 verses(ayahs) divided into 114 chapters(surahs)

Monday, March 10, 2014

Belief in the ANGELS

Belief in the ANGELS

The second article of faith(al-iman ) is to believe in the angels, who have been made from light. The angels are gentle, spirutual beings that can take any form they wish.They are neither male or female nor do disobey  Allah the Most High in carrying out His orders.They do not need to eat or drink and they do not get tired. Some angels are charged with tasks in the heavens, some with tasks on the earth and some with tasks at the divine throne(Al-Arsh).Only Allah the Most High knows the number of angels. Four high-ranking angels(the archangels) are like the prophets of the angels.

THE FOUR ARCHANGELS
1-Gabriel(Jibrail a.s.):He was charged with the responsibility of communicating the revelations of the Holy Scriptures of Allah the Most High to the Prophets.

2-Michael(Mikail a.s.): He is charged with the formation of the some natural phenomena such as the wind, the rain, the snow, and the growth of vegetation.

The Faith (Al-Iman)

Faith means to accept sincerely all the beliefs and orders thatMohammad(s.a.s.) commununicated to us as had been revealed to him by Allah the Mostt Great. Al-Iman is born of the confirmation of this process in life.However, it is necessary to recite the profession of faith(al-kalimah al-shahadah) with the tongue and to believe it in the heart,both during this earthly life and at the time of death in order to be regarded as a Muslim.
Ash-hadu an-la ilaha ill-Allahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Abdu-hu wa Rasuluhu. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is his Servant and Messenger.
The principles of faith(Al-iman) are six.The Arabic text stating the principles


آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَ مَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَ كُتُبِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَبِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَ شَرِّهِ مِنَ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَالْبَعْثُ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ حَقّ ٌ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لآ اِلَهَ اِلاَ للهُ وَ اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ


Its transcription in Latin letters(roughly approximating its sound)
"Amantu Billahi wa Malaa'ikatihi wa Kutubihi wa Rusulihi wa'l yawmil Akhiri wa bil'Qadari wa shar!rihi min'Allahi Ta'alawa'l ba'thu ba'dal mawti, Hak'kun ash'hadu an-la-ilaha İllalah wa ash'adu anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuluhu."

Translation:
I believe in Allah,the most high, in his ANGELS ,in his BOOKS, in his PROPHETS, in the day of JUDGEMENT, in divine predestination and in fact that both good and evil occur through the will of ALLAH, the Supreme Being and that there will be life after death. I testify that Muhammad(s.a.s) is His servant and messenger.

Aim of the blog

In this age of materialism, it is a reality that nearly all human beings live and grow up in a spiritually deficient enviorenment.The aim of this blog is to aim to reach the man who is interested in knowing his Lord muslim and non-muslim all over the world.
The best knowledge for the man to acquire is find the truth and know his Creator.There is only one God who is Sustainer, Cherisher and Master of the Day of Judgement- namely ALLAH, the Almighty.True success depends on whether man can find the truth or not.If he finds the truth can he accept it? If he accepts it can he live it and obey the commandments of ALLAH. That’s why he has to study the commandments of ALLAH.
This blog deals with the commandments of ALLAH.It is a useful knowledge both for muslims and non muslims those who wants to live by the commandments of ALLAH.
All praises are due to ALLAH.Thanks ALLAH that we are believers, our religion and our book is the Holy Qu’ran and our prophet is Muhammad S.A.W
Every born child is born as amuslim free from sins.We hope to live and die in the state of Islam.
