Who created Allaah?

Taken from Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya.

Shaykh al-Albani refutes this doubt by researching the following Ahadeeth:
On the authority of ‘Aa’ishah -Radi Allaahu anha- who said that the Messenger of Allaah -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘If the Shaytan comes to one of you and says: ‘Who created you?’ say ‘Allaah.’ Then he will say: who created Allaah? So if one of you finds this
situation then say: ‘I have believed in Allaah and His Messengers.’ This doubt will
then leave you.’
Narrated by Ahmad graded Hasan by Albani [saheehah 116]
In another narration also in Saheehah (Hadeeth No.117), the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- said: ‘The Shaytan comes to one of you and says: ‘Who created this? Who
created that? Who created this? Until he says who created your lord? So if this
reaches you then seek refuge in Allaah and it will end.’
Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim and Ibn Sunni.
In the wording narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallamsaid:
‘The people will question one another so much that one of them will say: So Allaah
created the creation, then who created Allaah Azza wa Jal? So if they say this, then <>
Then he should spittle to his left three times and seek refuge from the Shaytan.

Then Shaykh Albani comments by saying:
Fiqh al-Hadeeth:
These authentic Ahadeeth indicate that it is obligatory for the one Shaytan whispers
to, by saying ‘who created Allaah?’, that he turns away from debating with him and
responds with what was mentioned in the previous Ahadeeth, the summary of which
is:
I have believed in Allaah and His Messengers. ‘He is Allaah, The One, Allaahus-Samad,
He does not beget nor was He begotten, and there is none like unto Him.’ Then he
should spittle to his left three times and seek refuge from the Shaytan. This (then)
stops him from being carried away by the whisperings of Shaytan.
I truly believe that whoever does this sincerely, out of obedience to Allaah and His
Messenger, these whisperings will definitely leave him and his Shaytan will be defeated
due to the saying of the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-: ‘Then this doubt will
leave you.’
This noble prophetic teaching is more beneficial and more definitive against
whisperings than intellectual debate in this issue, since it is very rare that such a debate
will be beneficial. What is sad is that the majority of people are neglectful of this
noble prophetic teaching! So take heed O Muslims, learn the Sunnah of your Prophet
and implement it, in it is cure and honour for you.’

Shocking…People worshiping a human being

“And invoke not, besides Allaah, any that will neither profit you, nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers).” [Yoonus 10:106]

Women crying

Hands risen in dua

“And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56]

“And if Allaah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.” [al-An’aam 6:17]

“Say: ‘None in the heavens and the earth knows the ghayb (unseen) except Allaah…’” [al-Naml 27:65]

“… And, certainly, the shayaateen (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind)…” [al-An’aam 6:121]

“Then do not set up rivals unto Allaah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped)”[al-Baqarah 2:222]

“And they set up rivals to Allaah, to mislead (men) from His path! Say: ‘Enjoy (your brief life)! But certainly, your destination is the (Hell) Fire!’”[Ibraaheem 14:30]

“Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allaah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin”

“Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers”[al-Maa'idah 5:72]
“Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges) while they have been ordered to reject them. But shaitan (satan) wishes to lead them far astray”. Surah 4 An-Nisa, Ayah 60

The above two images are from a town in Kashmir called Sopur..The person sitting there is a so called, ‘Peer’ (Saint)..He always sits naked(even in presence of women) with a shawl around him sometimes and uses abuses and foul language(probably because he is mentally retarded)..The people visit him and worship him as is evident in the images above, the women with their eyes moist and hands risen and asking from him as they should have asked from Allaah..The people are so much devoted to the naked fakir(who never prays as he is mentally ill) that if u ask someone that why doesn’t your saint pray, he will say that ‘he prays by his heart’..(Allaah knows what kind of cardiac problem is that)…His photos are distributed and sold for high prices and people keep them in their homes and pray and seek blessings from them(like Hindus worship idols)..This person is called ‘Ahad’ by his devotees…And the worst part is that these people are Muslims…Only Allaah knows if they are…

[Note: I did not disfigure the faces because I wanted to make the facts and truth clear to all, wanted the people to see the devotion in the eyes of these people towards the Taghut as it should have been for the Almighty]

10 Reasons Why Aadam (alayhi salaam) was the last of creation….

Shaykul Islaam ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Reference: Fawaa’id ul Fawaa’id of ibn ul Qayim – p. 103
Category: Sayings of the Salaf

The first thing Allah created was the pen (as it was mentioned in the hadeeth of Ubaadah Ibn Samit (radiallahu anhu) found in the Sunan of Abu
Dawud), in order to write down everything that was decreed to take place before anything was brought into existence. Adam (alayhi asalaam) was the
last of creation and there was remarkable wisdom in this which was:

The First: To prepare the dwelling place before the inhabitants settle therein.

The Second: Everything that was created was done so for the purpose of making it subservient to Adam (alayhi asalaam) and his progeny. This
includes the heaven, the earth, the sun, the moon, the land and sea.

The Third: The Most Prestigious Designer (i.e. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala)) finishes His work with His most precious creation exerting the best of His
vigor in order to make it the epitome of all of His past work. Just as He begins His work making it the foundation.

The Fourth: The human desire is always to be last, look at what Musa (alayhi asalaam) said to the magicians:

َقَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُون
“You throw first what you are going to throw…” (26:43)

So when the people saw what the magicians threw, they were filled with anticipation for what Musa (alayhi asalaam) was going to throw afterwards.

The Fifth: Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) delayed His most prestigious Book (i.e. the Qur’an), Prophet (i.e. Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (salla allahu alayhi wa
salaam)) and generation (i.e. the Sahabah (radiallahu anhum)) to the end of time. He made the latter better than the former and as the saying goes:
“The end is always more complete and perfect than the beginning!” Consider carefully how much time was between the statement of Jibreel (alayhi
asalaam):

اقْرَأْ
“Read!”

And the reply of Prophet (salla allahu alayhi wa salaam):

مَا أَنَا بِقَارِئٍ
“I don’t know how to read!” (Sahih Al Bukhari)

And the final verse revealed of the Qur’an:

ًألْيَومَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُم دِينَكُم وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيكُم نِعْمَتِي وَ رَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْاِسْلَامَ دِينا
“This day I have completed for you, your religion and perfected My favor upon you and I am pleased with Islam as your religion.” (5:3)

The Sixth: Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) combined in the creation of Adam (alayhi asalaam) all of what He dispersed throughout the earth. The creation of
Adam contains everything that is in the life of this world as well as the greater world in the hereafter!

The Seventh: Adam (alayhi asalaam) is the quintessence of all creation and the sole reason why they were even brought into existence. Thus it was
only appropriate that his creation be brought into subsistence after all other forms of creation were created.

The Eighth: From the bounty of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) upon the creation of Adam is that He prepared for him everything that was going to be a
benefit for him in this life. He provided Adam with everything that was going to satisfy his needs and the tools by which he can earn his living and
the necessities to sustain his life. With the mere lift of his head, he can find everything he needs present right in front of him!

The Ninth: Allah wanted to expose the nobility of Adam over the rest of creation so He created them first and this is why the angels said: “Our Lord
is going to create what He wills, but He will never bring into existence a creature more honorable to Him than us!”

So when Allah created Adam (alayhi asalaam) and commanded them to prostrate to him, at that moment, Allah exposed his virtue and nobility over
them by way of the knowledge and understanding He endowed him with. But when Adam committed the sin (i.e. eating from the tree), the angels
thought that he was stripped of his virtue and nobility!

However, they were unaware of the potential of sincere repentance! So when Adam performed that magnificent act of worship (i.e. repentance) to
his Lord, the angels knew at that moment that Allah has a secret relationship with the human race, they obviously didn’t know about!!!

The Tenth: When Allah began the creation of this world by the pen, it was absolutely appropriate for Him to finish it with the creation of the human
being. For indeed the pen is a tool for seeking knowledge and the human being is intelligent with the potential to be a person of knowledge! So
when Allah exposed the virtue of Adam over the angels it was by way of knowledge which Allah specified the creation of Adam with.

Translator’s Note: Please read this article again and contemplate over the bounty Allah has bestowed upon you as a human being!

Hold your brothers hand..

It is SUNNAH to hold your brothers hand. There are many mentions of Rasool Allah or the sahabah walking together holding hands. It is friendship and human nature to be loving and caring towards brothers and comfortable with one another, not guarded as if our brothers are a disease. This is a disease of the heart which kills brotherhood. This is from the note Advice of a brother one to another. Kumail ibn Ziyad[1] said: ‘Ali lbn Abi Talib took hold of my hand and took me off towards the desert so when we reached it he sat down, then took a deep breath and then said:

“Oh Kumail ibn Ziyad – the hearts are receptacles, so the best of them is the one which preserves best…”

Let us speak for a moment about Umar bin Al Khattab, Commander of the Faithful, Prince of the Believers, the great warrior our brother whom even the shaytan would run away from:

On the authority of Abu Zubair who heard Jabir being questioned as to how many people were there on the Day of Hudaibiya He replied: We were fourteen hundred. We swore fealty to him (Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him), and Umar was holding his hand while he was sitting Under the tree… Abu Dawud Book 020, Hadith 4578)

This hadith was reported soley to mention the holding of hands:
‘Abdullah bin Hisham Narrated: We were with the Prophet while he was holding ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab by the hand. Bukhari Volume 5, Book 57, Number 43.

These were the salaf! The fiercest warriors, the softest of hearts. The fierce male lion is still an affectionate creature towards the other males in the pride. So are animals above mankind in rank and status?

“Have they not seen how We created for them, by Our own handiwork, livestock which are under their control? We have made them tame for them and some they ride and some they eat. And they have other uses for them, and milk to drink. So will they not be thankful? (Surah Ya Sin, 71-73)

The animals are subservient to us so we should be above them in kindness and affection!

It should come naturally, we shouldn’t retract our hands from our brothers, or feel ashamed to hold their hand. How far has the society around you destroyed brotherhood between the Muslims? Now we cannot even offer the simplest act to those Muslims who we take as close companions in this dunya. We cannot even care that our brother crosses the road safely with our “every man for himself” mentality. Do not let the opinions of the kuffar sway your practise of brotherhood with your brothers. Do they care about their practises, or care what you think? No, they do not even care about what Allah the Mighty and Majestic thinks. We should only care what Allah thinks, and do everything for His sake.

So the question comes, in what way do we hold hands. Holding the hands in any way is acceptable because the wording in the adaheeth is general. Also the instances in these ahadeeth are different. One when sitting under a tree (not walking), another while walking normally, and the other was taken calmly to advise, so we can hold hands in any ways. Ofcourse we hold the hands of our wives differently in our hearts, because they are different types of love. We do not love our wives like we love our companions and friends, or our collective brothers and sisters of the ummah, or our parents.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 468: Narrated Abu Musa [R.A.]: The Prophet [S.A.W.] said, “A faithful believer to a faithful believer is like the bricks of a wall, enforcing each other.” While (saying that) the Prophet clasped his hands, by interlacing his fingers.

Al-Bayhaqi narrated that Abu Dharr said: I said, “O Messenger of Allaah, what will save a person from Hellfire?” He (peace be upon him) said, “Belief in Allaah.” I said, “O Messenger of Allaah, are there are any deeds that should accompany that belief?” He said, ‘He should give from that provision which Allaah has granted him.” I said, “O Messenger of Allaah, what if he is poor and does not have anything to give?” He said, “He should enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil.” I said, “O Messenger of Allaah, what if he cannot enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil?” He said, “He should help the one who is helpless (i.e., has no skills and cannot earn a learning).” I said, “What if he himself is helpless and cannot do anything?” He said, “He should help one who has been wronged.” I said, “What if he is weak and cannot help one who has been wronged?” He said, “You do not want to think of your companion as having any good in him. Let him refrain from harming people.” I said, “O Messenger of Allaah, if he does that, will he enter Paradise?” He said, “There is no believer who does not strive to acquire one of these characteristics, but I will take him by the hand and lead him into Paradise.” (Classed as Saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Targheeb, 876)

There are some Sunnah’s that a brother cannot do alone. Some require others to fulfill that sunnah. Holding the hand which is a simple Sunnah that gains reward, could be the very reward that shades you on the day of no shade, and spares you from the hellfire. It was the practise and way (Sunnah) of Rasool Allah and his companions. We should do as the salaf did.

The Name “Allaah” – By Dawood Burbank (Rahimahullah)

Allaah (The One Truly Venerated and Worshipped, the One Deserving that He is Singled Out with All Worship Because of His     Perfect Attributes of Divinity)

Ibn al-Qayyim said in Madaarij us-Saalikeen:

“The Name `Allaah’ indicates all of the perfect Names and lofty attributes in all three ways of indication. It indicates His divinity which is the affirmation of all characteristics of divinity for Him along with negation of their opposites for Him. The attributes of divinity are the attributes of perfection, being free from any likeness with the creation and free of any deficiency or imperfection.”

The explainer of Kitaab ut-Tawheed in Tayseer ul-`Azeez il-Hameed, brings a quote from Ibn al-Qayyim also with regard to the excellent qualities of the Name, `Allaah’.

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

“As for the particular virtues of the meaning of this Name `Allaah’, the most knowledgeable of the creation (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) himself said:

`I could not praise you enough as You deserve. You are as You have praised Yourself’ [Reported by Muslim]

So how can we enumerate the special virtues of the Name of the One who comprises every perfection, unrestrictedly; every praise and commendation, every laudation and exaltation, all splendour, all perfection and glory, all beauty, all good, eminence and all generosity. Excellence and goodness is for Him and is from Him.

This Name Allaah is not mentioned upon a small amount of something except that it causes it to increase. Nor is it mentioned in a state of fear except that it removes it. Nor is it mentioned on any misfortune except that it relieves it. Nor in any state of anxiety and distress except that it brings relief. Nor upon any state of difficulty except that it brings ease to it. None that is weak resorts to it, except that it brings strength to him. Nor anyone in a state of humiliation, except that it brings honour to him. Nor anyone in poverty, except that he is enriched. Nor anyone who feels estranged and uneasy, except that it causes him to feel at ease. Nor is it mentioned by one who is overcome, except that it brings aid and victory for him. Nor by one who is in straitened circumstances, except that his difficulty is removed. Nor is it mentioned by a fugitive, except that he finds refuge.

It is the Name ­ meaning Allaah’s Name `Allaah’ through which distress is removed, through which the descent of blessings is sought, and through which supplications are answered. Through it slips are corrected, sins are warded away, and good deeds are brought closer.

It is the Name with which the heavens and earth were established, with which the revealed Books were sent down, and with which the Messengers were sent. With it the legislated laws were prescribed. Through it the prescribed punishments were established, and with it jihaad was prescribed. Through this Name the creation will become divided into the fortunate and the wretched. With it the true and tremendous Day is established. With it the Scales of Justice are set up, the Bridge laid down, and the Paradise and the Fire established. With it the Lord of all creation is worshipped and praised. For its right the messengers were sent. It will be asked about in the grave and for it there will be the resurrection. Dispute is regarding it, judgement is to it, and alliance and enmity are for it. Through it, those who know it and establish its rights will be the fortunate ones. Through it, those who are ignorant of it and leave its rights will be the wretched ones.

This Name is the reason for creation and command, through it they are established and confirmed, and to it they arrive at a conclusion. The creation comes about through it, returns to it, and exists because of it. There is nothing in creation and no command, nor reward and no punishment, except that it starts from it and ends with it. That is what brings it about and its reason.

<<”O our Rabb, you have not created all of this without purpose, free and far removed are You from that so save us from the punishment of the Fire.”>> [Aal `Imraan (3:191)]“

The Name `Allaah’ – a brief indication of the meaning which is – The One who is truly venerated and worshipped. The One deserving that He is singled out with all worship because of His perfect attributes of divinity.

Two Types of Wudhoo

Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, “All of us performwudoo when we want to pray. But most of the time a person does so just wanting to fulfill a condition of worship, and there is no harm in that and what is intended [i.e., being pure for prayer] is achieved by it.

But there is something higher and more complete.

When you want to perform wudoo, sense that you are obeying the Order of Allaah, mentioned in His Saying, the Most High,“O you who have believed! When you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankles.”[Maa'idah 5:6] so that the meaning of worship can be realised in you.

The best sleep…Ibn al-Qayyim

Ibn al-Qayyim said, ‘Avoid those things that necessitate the punishment of the grave.

And from the most beneficial of them is that when a man wants to sleep, he sits for an hour, for the Sake of Allaah, calling himself to account over the things that he has lost and gained during that day of his. Then, between him and his Lord, he renews his sincere repentance over those things that he lost, and sleeps on that repentance, firmly resolving not to return to the sin when he wakes up–and he does this every night.

So if he dies on that night of his, he would have died upon repentance and if he wakes up, he will wake up going towards action, pleased with the postponement of his appointed time so that he can turn to his Lord and set right what he missed out on.

And there is nothing more beneficial for the servant than this sleep, especially when he follows that [i.e., his resolve to renew his repentance] up with the remembrance of Allaah, performing those sunnahs which have been reported from the Prophet of Allaah when going to bed, [doing so] until sleep overtakes him.

So whoever Allaah wishes good for, He will grant him the success to do that. And there is neither movement, nor power except through Allaah.”

Ar-Rooh, p. 79.

“Say, ‘Laa ilaaha Illallaah …’’’ so he said …

Translated by Ahmed Abu Turaab

Ibn al-Qayyim said, “So it may become impossible for him to pronounce theshahaadah, as many people have witnessed happen to those on the deathbed, such that it was said to some of them:

“Say Laa ilaaha illallaah.” So he replied, “Aaah! Aaah! I cannot say it!”

And it was said to another, “Say Laa ilaaha illallaah.” So he replied, “King!  Rook!  Checkmate!” and then he passed away.

And it was said to another, “Say Laa ilaaha illallaah.” So he started singing irrationally, saying, ‘Taatinaa tinintaa, [no meaning, just irrational singing]’ and then passed away.

And the same was said to another, so he replied, “And how will what you are saying help me when I left no sin except that I committed it?” and then he passed away without saying it.

And the same was said to another, so he replied, “And how will that benefit me? And I don’t know if I have ever prayed a single time to Allaah?” and then he passed away without saying it.

And the same was said to another, so he replied [talking about himself], “He is a disbeliever in what you say,” and then he passed away.

And the same was said to another, so he replied, “Every time I want to say it my tongue withholds.”

And someone who was present at the death of someone who would beg told me that [they told him to say the shahaadah] so he started saying, “For Allaah’s Sake. A penny for Allaah’s Sake,” until he passed away.

And a trader told me that he was present when one of his relatives was on his deathbed, so they told him to say Laa ilaaha illallaah and he was saying, “This piece is cheap. This is a good buy. This is such and such,” until he passed away.

So if the devil has gained mastery over the servant in the state when his mind is present and his strength [is also present] and he has complete cognizance [i.e., while he is alive and healthy], and has employed him in committing whichever acts of disobedience to Allaah he wants him to do, and has made him unmindful of the remembrance of Allaah the Most High, and has paralysed his tongue from remembering Him and his limbs from obeying Him–then what does one think will be the case when his strength breaks down and his heart and soul become preoccupied with the death pangs that he is in?

And [all the while] Shaitaan will have gathered all of his strength and determination and assembled everything that he is capable of to avail his opportunity concerning him–for that is the last action.

So the strongest his Shaitaan will be against him is at that time, and the weakest he [i.e., the person] will be is at that time.

So who do you think will be safe from that? So it is there that, “Allaah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word [i.e., 'the firm word' is Laa ilaaha illallaah], in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allaah sends astray the wrongdoers. And Allaah does what He wills.” Ibraaheem 14:27

So how can someone whose heart Allaah has made heedless from His remembrance and who has followed his desires and whose affair is ever [in] neglect be granted the success to have a good ending?

Thus far away–the one whose heart is distant from Allaah the Most High, heedless of Him, worshipping his own desires, a slave to his lusts, his tongue dry from ever remembering Allaah [i.e., not moist with His remembrance], his limbs incapacitated from obeying Him actively working to disobey Him–far away [is such a person] from being granted the success to have a good ending.”

And those who said……

Salaam ibn Sulaimaan al-Muzani

Hammaad ibn Zaid said, “I visited Salaam Abul-Mundhir while he was going through the agonies of death. So someone started to remind him to say, ‘Laa ilaaha illallaah.’ But he didn’t say it and that grieved me. Then the muadhin started to pronounce the call to prayer on the minarets of the Jaami’ Mosque, saying, ‘Ashhadu an Laa ilaaha illallaah!’ So Salaam said, ‘I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, nothing except what He wills takes place in the Heavens or the earth!’

Then he passed away, may Allaah have mercy on him.”
Zuhd of Imaam Ahmad, p. 369.

Aamir ibn Abdullaah ibn az-Zubair

Az-Zubair said, “My uncle, Mus’ab said, ‘Aamir ibn Abdullaah az-Zubair heard themuadhin [making the call to prayer] whilst he was on his deathbed, and his house was close to the mosque. So he said, ‘Take me by my hand.’ So it was said to him, ‘You are ill.’ So he said, ‘I hear the Caller of Allaah [i.e., the muadhin] and I don’t respond?!’ So they took him by the hand and he entered [the mosque] while they were praying maghrib. He prayed a rak’ah with the Imaam and then passed away. May Allaah have mercy on him.’”
At-Tamheed, Ibn Abdul-Barr, (20/93).

Ibrahim ibn Haani

Abu Zakariyyaa ibn Ziyaad said, “I was present at the death of Ibrahim ibn Haani. He said, ‘I’m thirsty.’ So his son brought some water, so [Ibrahim ibn Haani] said, ‘Has the sun set?’ He replied, ‘No,’ so he refused the water and said, ‘For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.’ [Saafaat 37:61] Then he passed away, may Allaah have mercy on him.”

Ismaa’il ibn Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ismaa’ili

He passed away half way through the month of Rabee’ul-Aakhir, on Friday night … so he passed away, as an honour for him from Allaah, during maghrib prayer whilst he was reciting, ‘It is You we worship and You we ask for help.’[Faatihah 1:5]. May Allaah have mercy on him.

Abul-Hussein ibn al-Fadl al-Qattaan said, “I was with Abu Bakr al-Naqqaash whilst he was on his deathbed, on a Tuesday with three nights remaining in the month ofShawwaal in the year 351ah. So he started to move his lips and [say something] which I did not understand. Then he called out at the top of his voice:

‘For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work!’
‘For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work!’
‘For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work!’ [Saafaat 37:61]

Abdullaah ibn al-Akram al-Misri al-Nu’maani

Some of our Shaikhs reported from Atiq al-Umari that he visited Abdullaah ibn al-Akram with a group of people on the night he passed away. So they said to him, ‘Won’t you say the shahaadah?’ So he said it and then said, ‘For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work!’ [Saafaat 37:61] and then he passed away.

And Ibn Sayyidin-Naas mentioned from someone who told him that at the time of his death he was saying both shahaadah’s and then he said, ‘I have succeeded by the Lord of the Ka’bah!’ and then he passed away.

By Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. The source of all evil is the deviation from the truth and its straight path. The goodness of all matters is the following of truth and adherence to its right way. Truth is the fixed state in which Allah has created every creature in a particular way and managed its affair in a certain manner. Allah is Perfect and exempt from any deficiency or error. This book aims to elucidate the pillars of Emaan (basis of belief, faith) and the characteristics of Kufr (disbelief) and its causes.

The Beautiful Name of Allaah Ta’ala al-Hayyee (The Shy One)

Translated & Compiled

by

Abbas Abu Yahya

1 – Allaah says:

<<Verily, Allaah is not ashamed to set forth a parable>>

[al-Baqarah: 26]

2 – What is mentioned in the hadeeth of Ya’ala bin Umayyah -Radi Allaahu anhu-:

that the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- saw a man bathing at an open place where there was no partitioning and without a wrapping garment, so the Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- climbed the Mimbar, and he praised Allaah and glorified Him and said:

‘Indeed Allaah – Azza wa Jal – is The Shy One, The One who Conceals, He loves modesty and covering up, so if one of you bathes (outside) then he should cover up.’

[Narrated by Abu Dawood and Nisaa’ee – authenticated by Albaani in ‘Irwa’ no. 2335]

3 – The hadeeth of Salman -Radi Allaahu anhu-  who said: The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-  said:

‘Indeed your Lord – Tabaaraka wa Ta’ala – is The Shy One, The Generous, Allaah is Shy from His slave if the slave raises his hands towards Him, that Allaah is Shy to give him nothing in return.’

[Narrated by Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah – authenticated by Albaani in ‘Irwa’ no. 2335]

4 – The author Muhammad al-Hamood an-Najdi said:

‘Know – may Allaah have mercy upon me and you – that the greatest modesty which is necessary is modesty towards Allaah Ta’ala, He Who fluctuates His blessings and His virtue day and night. We cannot do without Him even for a blink of an eye. We are under His Hearing and Sight, and nothing of our condition, statements and actions is absent from Him.

Just like Allaah –Azza wa Jal- said:

<<Whatever you (O Muhammad) may be doing, and whatever portion you may be reciting from the Qur’aan, – and whatever deed you (mankind) may be doing (good or evil), We are Witness thereof, when you are doing it. And nothing is hidden from your Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heaven. Not what is less than that or what is greater than that but is (written) in a Clear Record. >> [Yunus: 61]

[Summarised from ‘an-Nahaj al-Asma’ fee Sharh ‘Asmaa Allaah al-Hussna 3/99-]

5  – Shaykh Muhammad Khaleel Haraas -Rahimullaah- said:

‘The Name of Allaah Ta’ala al-Hayyee (The Shy One) is a Name which is appropriate to Him, and it is not like the Hayya (Modesty) of the creation, which has a change and effect, which seizes a person when he is frightened by that which brings him shame or fault.  Rather it is leaving that which is not befitting with His abundant Mercy and His perfect Generosity and Kindness, and His great Pardoning and His Gentleness.

So the slave of Allaah openly sins although modesty is the thing that he is in most need of, and yet modesty is the weakest thing he has, and he uses Allaah’s blessings to sin.  However, Allaah – Subhanahu– along with His perfection in not needing anything whatsoever and His complete ability over modesty, is Shy from the slave from removing his veil (which Allaah has covered him with) and humiliating him, so Allaah covers up the slave with a disguise in order to cover him up, then after that Allaah pardons his sins and forgives them. 

Just like the hadeeth of Ibn Umar -Radi Allaahu anhu-:

 ‘Indeed Allaah comes close to the believer, and covers him then asks him, between Himself and the slave: Did you not do such and such, on such and such day? Until the slave of Allaah acknowledges his sins, and is certain that he will definitely be destroyed and Allaah says to him: I covered up your sins in theDunyaa and today I will forgive them for you.’

[Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim - Taken from ‘an-Nahaj al-Asma’ fee Sharh ‘Asmaa Allaah al-Hussna 3/103]
