Alsalamu Alikum
(May peace be upon all of you)
In the name of Allah Most Beneficent, most Merciful
And Peace and Blessings be upon the Chosen and trustworthy prophet

"The Five Pillars of Islam followed by the six articles of Faith"



First: The five pillars of Islam


Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be upon him) said: "Islam is built
upon five things: the testimony that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, the establishment of prayer, the payment of Zakâh, the pilgrimage to the House, and the fast during the month of Ramadan." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim



Meaning that Islam is built upon five pillars. They are


the testimony that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger
[No one or nothing is truly worshipped but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad must be obeyed for whatever he informs us on behalf of Allah]


the establishment of prayer
[To practice the five formal daily prayers without violating their rules, conditions and norms]


the payment of Zakâh: Almsgiving
[Zakâh is due once the Muslim holds a financial amount or property which equals the value of 85 grams of gold for one year. The annual due payment of Zakâh equals 2.5%]


the fast during the month of Ramadan
[which is not to eat , drink or copulate during the daylight hours. i.e. from dawn till sunset with having a previous intention for doing this]


the pilgrimage to the House
[for those who are financially and physically able]



Second: The six articles of Faith


To believe in God
Islam emphasizes that God is The One without partner, The Encompassing of all that exists, and He is unique in every way. Only God, The Most Benevolent, has the right to be worshipped


to believe in His Angles
The angels are creations of God. God, The Originator, created them from light. They are powerful, and always do precisely as they are commanded by God.


to believe in His Books
To believe in the original texts of the books of Torah, Gospel, Pslams and Quraan]


To believe in His prophets and messengers
[Starting from Noah and Ending with the Seal of prophets Muhammad (PBUH)]


to believe in the Day of Judgment
[The day of punishment and reward given according to one deeds in this life]


to believe in divine decree
[hand-in-hand with adopting appropriate reasons, and to be pleased with divine decrees whether they are evil or good, simply because they are made by Allah


Upon the mentioned in Sahîh Muslim

[أحمد عمر]

معنى الاسلام و الايمان و الاحسان


عن عمر رضي الله عنه قال:

بينما نحن جلوس عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم

ذات يوم اذ طلع رجل شديد بياض الثياب شديد سواد الشعر

لا يرى عليه اثر السفر و لا يعرفه منا احد،

حتى جلس الى النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم

فأسند ركبتيه الى ركبتيه و وضع كفيه على فخديه،


و قال: يا محمد اخبرني عن الاسلام؟

فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم:

( الاسلام ان تشهد ان لا اله الا الله، و ان محمدا رسول الله،

و تقيم الصلاة، و تؤتي الزكاة و تصوم رمضان، و تحج البيت ان استطعت اليه سبيلا )

- قال صدقت - فعجبنا له يسأله و يصدقه.

قال اخبرني عن الايمان،

قال: (ان تؤمن بالله و ملائكته و كتبه و رسله و اليوم الاخر، و تؤمن بالقدر خيره و شره)-
قال صدقت.

قال اخبرني عن الاحسان-

قال : ( ان تعبد الله كأنك تراه فان لم تكن تراه فانه يراك)

قال اخبرني عن الساعة

-قال: (ما المسؤول عنها اباعلم من السائل)


قال اخبرني عن اماراتها(اي علاماتها)-

قال : ( ان تلد الأمة ربتها(سيدتها) و ان ترى الحفاة العراة العالة رعاء الشاء يتطاولون في البنيان)
ثم انطلق فلبث مليا (وقتا طويلا) ثم قال [ اي النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم] لي:

(يا عمر اتدري من السائل؟)

قلت الله و رسوله أعلم.

قال: ( فانه جبريل اتاكم يعلمكم دينكم)

"رواه مسلم"



The Meanings of Islam, Iman (Faith) and Ihsan (Perfection)

On the authority of Omar ( May Allah be pleased with him) narrated:


One day while we were sitting with Allah's messenger (Peace and Blessings be Upon him), a man suddenly appeared before us, wearing a very white dress and having very black hair without any signs of journey upon him, and none of us knew him.

He approached until he sat before the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) with his knees touching the Prophet's knees and he placed his hands on his thighs and said: "O' Muhammad inform me about Islam".

Allah's messenger said:" Islam is to bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to offer [establish] the salat [prayer], pay Zakat [almsgiving], fast during the month of Ramadan and to perform Hajj [the pilgrimage to Makkah] if you are able and have the means to make the journey".

The man said "You spoke the truth".

We were astonished at his asking and confirming at the same time.

He said: "inform me about Iman [faith]",

The prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "Iman is to believe in Allah, His angles, His Books and Messengers, the Last Day and to believe in the Divine preordainment of all that is good and evil".

He again said:" You spoke the truth".


He said: "Inform me about Ihsan [perfection]".

He (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him; if you can't see Him, surely He sees you".


He said: "inform me about the Hour (Doomsday)".

He (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "The one asked has no more knowledge of it than the questioner".

He said: "inform me about its signs".

He said: "[Its signs are] the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and you will see the barefooted naked, impoverished sheepherders competing with each other in tall buildings".


Then the stranger left. The prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) remained seated for quite a while, then he asked me: "O' Omar, do you know who the questioner was?"

I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best".

He said: "That was Jibrael [revelation Angel], he came to teach you your religion".

[أحمد عمر]

معنى لا اله الا الله

(لا معبود بحق الا الله)
فيها نفي الاهية عن غير الله، و اثباتها لله وحده.



1- قال تعالى (فاعلم انه لا اله الا الله)
سورة محمد 19



2- و قال صلى الله عليه و سلم: (من قال لا اله الا الله مخلصا دخل الجنة).

رواه البزار وصححه الألباني في صحيح الجامع

و المخلص: هو الدي يفهمها، و يعمل بها، و يدعو اليها قبل غيرها، الان فيها التوحيد
الذي خلق الله الجن و الانس لاجله.


3- و قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم لعمه ابي طالب حين حضره الموت:
( يا عم قل لا اله الا الله، كلمة اُحاجُّ لك بها عند الله، و ابى ان يقول لا اله الا الله)
رواه البخاري و مسلم



4- بقي رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم في مكة ثلاثة عشر عاما، يدعو المشركين قائلا:
(قولوا لا اله الا الله) فكان جوابهم كما حكى القرآن عنهم:
(و عجبوا ان جاؤهم منذر منهم و قال الكافرون هذا ساحر كداب اجعل الالهة الها واحدا، ان في هذا لشيء عجاب
و انطلق الملأ منهم ان امشوا و اصبروا على الهتكم ان هذا لشيء يُراد ما سمعنا بهذا في ملة الأخرة ان هذا الا اختلاق)

سورة "ص"، الآيات من 4 الى17



وقال صلى الله عليه و سلم:
( من قال لا اََلَه الا الله، و كفر بما يُعبدُ من دون الله، حَرُم مالُه و دمُه و حسابُه على الله عزوجل)

رواه مسلم

و معنى الحديث: ان التلفظ بالشهادة يستلزم ان يكفر و يُنكر كل عبادة لغير الله، كدعاء الاموات و غيره.
و الغريب ان بعض المسلمين يقولونها بالسنتهم، و يخالفون بافعالهم و دعائهم غير الله؟؟


و نكمل بنفس المحور "معنى لا اله الا الله"

The meaning of The Testimony that there is no God but Allah

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah

In this the divinity of all except Allah is denied, while exclusively confirmed
to Allah
Allah (SWT) said: “So know that la illah illa Allah (none has the right to be worshiped but Allah)”
(Sura: Muhammad – Verse: 19)

And Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “Who ever says faithfully la illah illa Allah shall be entitled to gain paradise”
[narrated by Al-Bazar and corrected by Al-Albany in Sahih AlJamea]

The faithful: is the one who understands its meaning, acts according to it and promote it before anything else whatsoever; because these words of testimony indicate the concept of monotheism for which both humans and jinn have been created.

Prophet (PBUH) also said to his uncle Abu-Taleb when he was struggling death: “O’ uncle! Say La illah ila Allah [none has the right to be worshiped but Allah] to propose it to Allah to seek forgiveness to you” and Abu – Taleb refused to say this testimony.
[Narrated by Al-Bukhary and Muslim]

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stayed in Mekka for almost thirteen years promoting for Islam. He used to invite disbelievers to Islam saying to them: “Say la illah illa Allah [none has the right to be worshiped but Allah]”.
However, according to the holly Quraan: “And they (Arab pagans) wonder that a warner (prophet Muhammad) has come to them from among themselves! And the disbelievers say: “This (prophet Muhammad) is a sorcerer, a liar. Has he made the aliha (gods) (all) into one Ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing!” and the leaders among them went about (saying): “Go on, and remain constant to your aliha (gods)! Verily, this is a thing designed (against you)! We have not heared (the like) of this among the people of these later days. This is nothing but invention!”
[Sura: Sad - Verses:4 to 7]

Prophet Muhammad also said: “Who says la illah illa Allah and deny all these worshiped excluding Allah, shall save his money, blood and resurrection from the punishment of Allah”
[narrated by Muslim]

The meaning of Hadith: Uttering the words of testimony must be accompanied with denial and disbelieve in all those worshiped excluding Allah. E.g., praying for dead people and otherwise.

Strangely enough, some of the Muslims say the words of testimony by there mouse while their deeds are of great discrepancy

[أحمد عمر]

تتمة معنى لا اله الا الله

5- لا اله الا الله أساس التوحيد و الاسلام،
و منهج كامل للحياة، يتحقق بتوجيه كل أنواع العبادة لله،
و ذلك اذا خضع المسام لله، و دعاه وحده، و احتكم لشرعه دون غيره.

6- قال ابن رجب: الاله هو الذي يطاع و لا يعصى هيبة له و اجلالا،
و محبة و خوفا و رجاء، و توكلا عليه،
و سؤالا منه ، و دعاء له، و لايصلح هذا كله الا لله عز وجل،
فمن اشرك مخلوقا في شيء من هذه الأمور التي هي من خصائص الاله،
كان ذلك قدحا في اخلاصه في قوله: (لا اله الا الله)،
و كان فيه من عبودية المخلوق بحسب ما فيه من ذلك.


7- و قال صلى الله عليه و سلم:
(لَقَّنوا" موتاكم الا اله الا الله
فانه من آخر كلامه لا اله الا الله دخل الجنة يوما من الدهر و ان اصابه قبل دلك ما أصابه )

رواه ابن حبان في صحيحه و صححه الألباني في صحيح الجامع



و ليس التلقين ذكر الشهادة عند الميت،
بل هو أمره بأن يقولها خلافا لما يظن البعض،
و الدليل حديث أنس بن مالك
( أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم عاد رجلا من الأنصار،
فقال: "يا خال؟ قال: قل لا اله الا الله" فقال: أخال ام عم؟
فقال: بل خال، فقال: خير لي أن أقول: لا اله الا الله، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم: نعم)


أخرجه الامام أحمد باسناد صحيح على شرط مسلم
-- انظر أحكام الجنائز للألباني--


8- ان كلمة " لا اله الا الله" تنفع قائلها ادا طبق معناها في حياته
و لم ينقضها بشرك، كدعاء الأموات أو الأحياء الغائبين:
شبيهة بالوضوء الذي ينقضه الحدث.

قال صلى الله عليه و سلم: ( من قال لا اله الا الله أنجته يوما من دهره يصيبه قبل ذلك ما اصابه)

رواه البيهقي، و صححه الألباني في الصحيحة رقم 1933
" تلقين الميت الشهادة يكون قبل خروج روحه لا بعده،
بدليل قوله في تتمة الحديث: " فانه من كان أخر كلامه.."
و الميت لا يستطيع قولها و لا يسمع، و لا عبرة بما جرت عليه عادة الناس.


The meaning of the testimony that there is no god but Allah (Continued)


The testimony that there is no god but Allah is the basis of monotheism and Islam. It is a comprehensive methodology of life which is achieved by properly worshiping Allah. i.e. to surrender as a Muslim to Allah, to pray to none but him and to submit to his laws.


Ibn Rajab said: "The illah (god) is that who is obeyed and glorified out of both fear and love, and who is sought, relayed upon and prayed to. Such deeds are not due to any one but Allah (SWT). Therefore, if someone gave the same rights of the worshiped god to any creature, this shall be deemed a discrepancy and violation to the rules stipulated by uttering the words of testimony (la illah illa Allah)".

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "advice the dying person to say "la illah illa allah" (there is no god but Allah) He whose last words [in life] are 'La ilaha illa- Allah' shall enter Paradise"
[Narrated by Ibn Hayan and corrected by Al-Albany in his book Sahih Al-Jamie]


Some may believe that the intended by prompting is limited to announcing the words of testimony where the dying person exists to hear them. It is rather to advice the dying person to say it.


The supporting evidence is presented by the Hadith narrated by Anas Ibn Malek who said: "Allah's Messenger (PBUH) paid a visit to a man from Al-Ansar, and said: "O' uncle? Say "la illah illa Allah". The man replied: "uncle-in-law or uncle?" the prophet said: "no, uncle". The man said: "is it good to me to say la illah illa Allah?" The prophet (pbuh) said: "Yes!"

[Introduced by Imam Ahmad and proved to be sound by Muslim]

Refer to: ["Ahkam El-Janaez" by Al-Akbany]

The words of testimony are beneficial to the one who truly say them without violating its meaning by polytheism. e.g., praying for dead or living people. This may be likened to Wadou'a (washing before prayer) which is violated by Hadath (the actions violating Wadou'a).

[أحمد عمر]

معنى محمد رسول الله
الايمان بانه مرسل من عند الله، فنصدقه فيما اخبر، ونطيعه فيما أمر،
و نترك ما نهى عنه و زجر، و نعبد الله بما شرع.

1- يقول الشيخ ابو الحسن الندوي في كتاب النبوة ما نصه:
( الانبياء عليهم السلام كان أول دعوتهم، و أكبر هدفهم في كل زمان و في كل بيئة،
هو تصحيح العقيدة في الله تعالى و تصحيح الصلة بين العبد و ربه،
و الدعوة الى اخلاص الدين لله، و افراد العبادة لله وحده، و أنه النافع و الضار،
المستحق للعبادة و الدعاء و الالتجاء و النسك "الذبح" وحده،
و كانت حملتهم مركزة و موجهة الى الوثنية في عصورهم،
الممثلة بصورة واضحة في عبادة الأوثان و الاصنام،
و الصالحين المقدسين من الأحياء و الأموات).


2- و هذا رسول الله يقول له ربه:

(قل لا أملك لنفسي نفعا و لا ضرا الا ما شاء الله،
لو كنت أعلم الغيب لاستكثرت من الخير و ما مسني السوء،
ان انا الا نذير و بشير لقوم يؤمنون )
"سورة الأعراف أية 188"

و قال:
( لا تُطروني كما أطرت النصارى اب مريم، فانما أنا عبد فقولوا عبد الله و رسوله.)
رواه البخاري.


و الاطراء هو الزيادة و المبالغة في المدح،
فلا ندعوه من دون الله كما فعلت النصارى في عيسى ابن مريم،
فوقعوا في الشرك و علمنا ان نقول "محمد عبد الله و رسوله "
اما مدحه الوارد في الكتاب و السنة فمطلوب في حقه صلى الله عيه و سلم.


3- ان محبة الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم تكون بطاعته في دعاء الله وحده،
و عدم دعاء غيره، ولو كان رسولا او وليا مقربا.

قال الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم: ( اذا سالت فاسأل الله، و اذا استعنت فاستعن بالله).
رواه الترميذي و قال حسن صحيح.

و كان صلى الله عليه و سلم اذا نزل به هم و غم قال:
(يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك استغيث)
حسن رواه الترميذي.


و رحم الله الشاعر حين قال في صدق المحبة:

لو كان حبك صادقا لأطعته.....ان المحب لمن يحب مطيع.

و من علامة المحبة الصادة ان تحب دعوة التوحيد التي بدأ بها دعوته،
و تحب دعاة التوحيد، و تكره الشرك و الداغين اليه.


The meaning of: Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

This is to believe that Allah sent him with a message to human being. Therefore, you shall believe in all that the Prophet (PBUH) has said, to obey the Prophet (PBUH) in what he has commanded and forsake what he has forbidden and to worship Allah according to the shari'a (law) of the Prophet (PBUH)

In his “Al-nobwa” [prophecy] book, Sheikh Abu Al-Hassan Al-Nadwy said: “… the main goal of all prophets, in different ages and environments was to correct the ideology of believe in Allah and to amend the relationship between the slave [Man] and his/her master [Allah SWT]. They also aimed to call for showing faithfulness to Almighty Allah by worshiping Him alone and to believe that he is the Distresser and Propitious who has the right to be worshipped and prayed for. The campaigns adopted by prophets was intensified against pagans who lived in their times …”

This is our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) whispers to Allah: “ I posses no power of benefit or hurt to myself except as Allah wills. If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib [unseen], I should have secured for myself and abundance of wealth, and no evil should have touched me. I am but a warner and a bringer of glad tidings unto people who believe.”
[Sura: Al-A’raf, Verse: 188]


The Prophet (PBUH) has said: "Do not over praise me as the Christians over-praised the son of Mary. I am His slave so say: 'Allah's slave and messenger'
[narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


over-praise refers to exaggeration. We should not pray for Prophet Muhammad rather than praying for Allah as Christians do with Jesus the child of Mary. By doing this, Christians are practicing polytheism. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad taught us to say “Allah’s Slave and Messenger; Muhammad”. However, praising him upon the mentioned in Quraan and Hadith is highly recommended.

Showing love to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is achieved by praying to none but Allah.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Beseech Allah and resort to Allah”
[narrated by Al-Termizi and corrected by Hassan]

Prophet Muhammad used to pray for Allah saying: “O Ever Living, O Self-Subsisting and Supporter of all, by Your mercy I seek assistance”
[narrated by Al-Termizi and corrected by Hassan]


May Allah bless the Arabic poet who described sincere love by saying:

If your love is true, then certainly you will obey him (your beloved)
For verily the lover is not but obedient to his beloved

One sign of sincere love is to adhere to the ideology of monotheism, whereby Prophet Muhammad started promotion for Islam. Consequently, you should love monotheism heralds and to hate polytheism and its propagandists

[أحمد عمر]

اين الله؟ الله في السماء
عن معاوية بن الحكم السمي رضي الله عنه قال:

( .... و كانت جارية ترعى لي قِبَل"أُحد و الجوانية"،
فاطلعت ذات يوم، فاذا بالذئب قد ذهب بشاة من غنمها،
و أنا رجل من بني آدم، آسف كما يأسفون،
لكني صككتُها _ضربتها و لطمتها_ صكَّة،
فأتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم فعظّم ذلك عليّ،
قلتُ يا رسول الله: أفلا أعتقها؟ قال:
( ائتني بها، فقال لها: اين الله؟ قالت في السماء،
قال مَن أنا؟ قالت: أنت رسول الله، قال: أعتقها فانها مؤمنة). )
رواه مسلم و أبو داود




WHERE IS ALLAH? ALLAH IS ABOVE THE HEAVENS




Muawiyah bin Al-Hakam As-Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him) said

I had a slave-girl who used to herd sheep for me. One day I discovered that a wolf had killed one of her sheep, and I'm a man from the children of Adam, I get upset like they get upset, and I slapped her in the face. Then I went to the Prophet who impressed upon me the seriousness of my act. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I not set her free?' He said, 'Bring her to me.' He asked her, 'Where is Allah', She said, 'He is above the heavens.' He said, 'Who am I?' She said, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Free her, for she is a believer

(Narrated by Muslim and Abu Dawud)

[أحمد عمر]

ما يستفاد من الحديث السابق


1- كان الصحابة يرجعون عند اي مشكلة ولو كانت صغيرة
الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ليعلموا حكم الله فيها.

2- التحاكم الى الله و الرسول- عملا بقول الله تعالى:
( فلا و ربّك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم
ثم لا يجدوا في انفسهم حرجا مما قضيت و يسلموا تسليما) سورة النساء آية 65


3- انكار الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم على الصحابي
ضربه للجارية و تعظيمه لذلك الأمر

4- العتق يكون للمؤمن لا للكافر، لان الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم اختبرها،
و لما علن بايمانها أمر باعتاقها، و لو كانت كافرة لما امر بعتقها.

5- وجوب السؤال عن التوحيد، و منه علو الله على عرشه، و معلافة ذلك واجب.

6- مشروعية السؤال بأين الله، و انه سنة حيث سأله رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم.

7- مشروعية الجواب بان الله في السماء (اي على السماء)
الاقراره عليه الصلاة و السلام جواب الجارية و لموافقة الجواب للقرآن الذي يقول:
(ءامنتم من في السماء أن يخسف بكم الارض.)
سورة الملك آية 16

"قال ابن عباس في تفسير للآية: هو الله"، "و في السماء بمعنى: على السماء".

8- صحة الايمان تكون بالشهادة لمحمد صلى الله عليه و سلم بالرسالة.


9- اعتقاد ان الله في السماء دليل على صحة الايمان،
و هو واجب على كل مسلم.


10- الرد على خطا من يقول ان الله في كل مكان بذاته،
و الحق أن الله معنا بعلمه لا بذاته.

11- طلب الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم للجارية ليختبرها دليل على انه لا يعلم الغيب،
و هو ايمان الجارية
و هو رد على القائلين بانه يعلم الغيب.
و قد يطلع الله على من ارتضى من رسول على بعض المغيبات عند اللزوم،
و الدليل قوله تعالى:
( عالم الغيب و الشهادة فلا يظهر على غيبه احدا ،
الا من ارتضى من رسول فانه يسلك من بين يديه و من خلفه رصدا،
ليعلم ان قد ابلغوا رسالة ربهم
و احاط بما لديهم و احصى كل شيء عددا. )
سورة الجن الآيات 26-28


اما غير الرسل كااولياء و غيرهم فلا يعلمون الغيب.


The Implications of the Above Hadith

Companions used to refer back to Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) when they face any problem to recognize the judgment of Almighty Allah concerning this problem.

Seeking the arbitration of Allah and His prophet in all disputes – upon the instructions of Quraan: "But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission" [An-Nisaa Sura, Verse: 65]

The prophet (PBUH) impressed upon the seriousness of the act of beating the slave-girl.

Only the slave who is a true believer may be set free. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) tested the slave-girl's strength of belief before he ordered to set her free. If she was unbeliever, Prophet (PBUH) was never to let her be free.

To inquire about and to recognize the meaning of monotheism and supreme dominance of Allah is a must.

The legitimacy of the question: "where is Allah" as a Sunna whereby we follow our beloved Muhammad (PBUH)

The legitimacy of the answer: "Allah is above the heaven" due to the fact that prophet Muhammad accepted and stressed on it, and it is identical with the words of Quraan: "Or do you feel secure that He , Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My warning?"
[Al-Mulk Sura – Verse: 16]

In his interpretation of this verse; Ibn Abbas mentioned that " He , Who is over the heaven" refers to Allah.

The believer should confirm on the testimony that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, for his/her believe to be true.


To believe that Allah is above the heaven is a proof on the trueness of one's belief.

To correct the wrong believe that Allah Himself as an entity exists every where. The fact is that Allah is everywhere as He is All-Aware.

The fact that the Prophet asked Muawyia to bring the girl for him, reveals that the prophet (PBUH) does not Gha'ib (the unseen) which, in this context, is the slave-girl's believe. Allah gives His prophets some of the unknown facts but not all: "(He Alone) the All-Knower of the Gha'ib (unseen), and He reveals to non his Gha'ib (unseen). Except to a messenger (from mankind) who he has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes) and then he makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him. [He (Allah) protects them (the messengers)], till He sees that they (the messengers) have conveyed the messages of their Lord (Allah) and He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of All things (i.e., He knows the exact number of everything)"
[Al-Jinn Sura, Verse: 26-28]

However, others of mankind who are not prophets and messengers cannot know Gha'ib (unseen).

[أحمد عمر]

الايمان بالقدر خيره و شره

هذا هو الركن السادس من أركان الايمان،
و معناه كما قال الامام النووي في شرحه لهذا الركن في كتاب شرح : (الاربعين النووية)
ان الله سبحانه و تعالى قدّر الاشياء في القِدَم،
و علِم سبحانه و تعالى انها ستقع في اوقات معلومة عنده سبحانه و تعالى،
و في امكنة معلومة، و هي تقع على حسب ما قدّره الله سبحانه و تعالى.


و الايمان بالقدر على انواع:


1- التقدير في العلم:
( و هو الايمان بان الله تعالى قد سبق في علمه ما يعلمه العباد من خير و شر،
و طاعة و معصية قبل خلقهم و ايجادهم، و مَن هو منهم مِن اهل الجنة،
و من هو منهم من اهل النار، و أعدّ لهم الثواب و العِقاب جزاء لأعمالهم قبل خلقهم و تكوينهم،
و أنه كتب ذلك عنده و أحصاه، و أن اعمال العباد تجري على ما سبق في علمه و كتابه ).
"نقلا من كتاب جامع العلوم و الحكم لابن رجب الحنبلي ص24"


2- التقدير في اللوح المحفوظ:
ذكر ابن كثير في تفسيره نقلا عن عبد الرحمان بن سلمان بقوله:
"ما مِن شيء قضى الله: القرآن فما قبله و ما بعده الا هو في اللوح المحفوظ" ج4/497
[ اي في الملأ الأعلى]


3- التقدير في الرحم: و قد ورد في الحديث:
( ثم ُيرسَل الملك فينفخ فيه الروح، و يُؤمَر بكتبِ اربع كلمات:
بكتب رزقه و اجله و عمله و شقي او سعيد )
رواه البخاري و مسلم


4- التقدير في المواقيت:
( و هو سوق المقادير الى المواقيت، و الله تعالى خلق الخير و الشر،
و قّر مجيئه الى العبد في اوقات معلومة) "
نقلا من شرح الاربعين جديث للنووي


"To believe in divine decree:

this is the sixth article of faith. In his book of Imam Nawawi explained this by revealing that Almighty Allah ordained every single move whisper in this world and He [SWT] knows when, where and how every thing will happen.

The four steps of the believe in divine decree are:

Firstly: To believe that Allah’s knowledge is comprehensive, for Allah has full knowledge of everything. He knows all things, significant or insignificant, public or private. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah. He know which of his servants will be obedient and who will not, and who will work for paradise and who will work for hell, even before He created them.

“Quoted from Jamie Al-Olum Wa- Alhikam book by Ibn Ragab El-Hanbaly, pp. 24”

Secondly: To believe that Allah has recorded in His Preserved Tablet the decree of everything that will occur until the Day of Resurrection. In his book of interpretation of the meanings of Quraan, Ibn Kathier said “Every decree ordained by Allah: Quraan and what was before it and what is after it is recorded in the Preserved Tablet” Ch.4/497

Thirdly: To believe that Allah also decrees the destiny of a person whilst he/she is in the womb of their mother. Prophet Muhammad said: “ …Then an angel is sent to him to blow the spirit into him and to write four words about his possessions, his moment of death, his career and whether he will be happy or miserable”
[Narated by Al-Bukhary and Muslim]

Fourth: To believe that Allah is the creator of good and evil and that He ordained each of them to happen to the servant in certain times that is known only by Him. “Quoted from the interpretations of Forty Hadieths of Imam Al-Nawawi”

[أحمد عمر]

من فوائد الإيمان بالقدر


1- الرضا و اليقين و العوض: قال تعالى:

( مآ أصاب من مصيبة الاّ في بإذن الله).
سورة التغابن. الآية 11
قال ابن عباس( بأمر الله، يعني عن قدره و قضائه).
و قوله تعالى: ( و من يؤمن بالله يهد قلبه)
سورة التغابن. الآية 11
قال ابن كثير في تفسيرها: ( أي ومن اصابته مصيبة فعلم انها بقضاء الله و قدره،
فصبر و احتسب، و استسلم لقضاء الله هدى قلبه، و عوّضه عما فاته من الدنيا هدى في قلبه،
و يقينا صادقا، و قد يخلف عليه ما كان أُخد منه أو خيرا منه)
و قال ابن عباس: (يهد قلبه لليقين، فيعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليُخطئه، و ما أخطأه لم يكن ليُصيبه)
و قال علقمة: هو الرجل تصيبه المصيبة فيعلم أنها من عند الله.


2- تكفير الذنوب: قال صلى الله عليه و سلم:
( ما يصيب المؤمن مٍن وصَب و لا نصَب، و لا سَقم، و لا حزَن، حتى الهمّ يهمُّه إلاَّ كفَّر الله به سيئاته)
الوصَب: المرض
حديث متفق عليه

3- إعطاء الأجر الكبير: قال تعالى:
( و بشٍّر الصّابرين الدين إذا اصابتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله و إنا اليه راجعون
اولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم و رحمة و اولئكهم المهتدون)
سورة البقرة. الآية 155-157

4- غنى النفس: قال صلى الله عليه و سلم:
( ... وارض بما قسمه الله لكتكون أغنى الناس)
رواه احمد و الترميذي و حسنه محقق جامع الأصول
و قال صلى الله عليه و سلم: (ليس الغنى عن كثرة العَرَض، و لكن الغنى غنى النفس)
العَرَض: المال و غيره
متفق عليه

5- عدم الفرح و الحزن: قال تعالى:
( ما اصاب من مصيبة في الأرض و لا في أنفسكم
الا في كتاب من قبل أن نبرأها
إنّ ذلك على الله يسير لكيلا تأسوا على ما فاتكم و لا تفرحوا على بما اتاكم
و الله لا يحب كل مختال فخور) سورة الحديد الآيتين: 22-23

نبرأها: نخلقها، تأسوا: تحزنوا
مختال فخور: متكبر في تفسه فخور على غيره

قال ابن كثير: لا تفخروا على الناس بما انعم الله به عليكم، فان ذلك ليس بسعيكم
و انما هو عن قدر الله و رزقه لكم فلا تتخذوا نعم الله أشَراً و بطراً،
و قال عكرمة: ليس أحد الا وهويفرح و يحزن، و لكن اجعلوا الفرح شكراً و الحزن صبراً
انظر ابن كثير ج 4/314

The Benefits of Belief in Divine Decree

First: Contentment, firmness in Faith, and hope of compensation

Allah said: "No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. Decision and Qadar(Divine Preordainments)] of Allah …. " [Sura Taghabon, verse 11]

Ibn Abbas r.a. said: His Leave or Permission means His Command and Decree

And Allah said: " … And whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with cretainty, i.e. what has befallen him was written for him by Allah from Qadar (Divine Preordainment)] … " [Sura Taghabon, verse 11]

Ibn Kathir said in his commentary: "It means that when a person who is beset by misfortune and knows that it occurred by the Order and Decree of Allah, remains patient, seeking thereby reward, in submission to Allah's Decree. Allah guides his heart, and compensates him for his heart to conviction in Faith; he knows what occurred to him was unavoidable, and what did not occur, could not have occurred.

Alqamah said: It refers to a man beset by a calamity and he knows it is from Allah.

Second: The expiation of sins

The Prophet(PBUH) said:"A believer is not beset by any hardship or fatigue or illness or grief or even worry except that Allah will expiate thereby his sins." (Agreed upon

Third: Great reward

Allah said: " … and give glad tidings to the patient ones Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: ' Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return'. They are those on whom are the Salawat (i.e. blessings etc.) (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones." [Sura Al-Baqara, Verses 155-157)

Fourth: Self-contentment

The Prophet (PBUH) said: "If you are satisfies with what Allah has apportioned for you, you will be the wealthiest of people." (Ahmad and Tirmidhi)

He also said: "To be well off is not through possessing of transitory goods rather true well-being comes from a contented soul." (Agreed upon).

Fifth: Lack of happiness and grief

Almighty Allah said: "No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah. In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you. And Allah likes not prideful boasters." [Sura: Al-Hadid, Verses: 22-23]

Ibn Kathir said: Don't act haughty towards people because of what Allah has blessed you with, because it didn't come to you through your affort, but by the Decree of Allah and so don't take the blessings of Allah arrogantly and wantonly and He is your Sustainer.

Ikramah said: There is none who does not get happy or sad. Hence make your happiness gratitude, and your grief patience. (See Tafsir Ibn Kathir: 4/314).
