Dear Readers,
Allah (swt)
partially and symbolically bestowed some of His subuti attributes as seeing,
hearing, speaking, .. and some of His moral characteristics as mercy, grace, fairness
and patience to His servants. However these
attributes of Allah (swt) can never be compared with the characteristics of
what He created. Each attribute of Allah (swt) is away from deficiencies. They
are perfect and complete.
The personal
attributes of Him must never be harmed because these attributes do not exist in any other
living or non-living creatures even partially or symbolically. Let's remember
again: These are Wujud (existence), Qidam
and Baqa (Eternal
existence in the past and future), Wahdaniyyah
(Oneness), Qiyam bi
nafseehee (He
is self-existent without any needs) and Mukhalafatun
lil hawadith (He never resemble the things He created).
Materialists
deny His existence by supposing the universe, which
was created and organized by Allah (swt) infinite and eternal,
in other words by harming Wujud, Qidam
and Baqa attributes of Allah (swt)
without any evidences.
The pagan people who believe in other things rather Allah (swt) fall into unbelief by harming all the
personal attributes of Allah (swt).
"Not a
messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore
worship and serve Me." [Anbiyaa, 25]
"They serve, besides
Allah, things that can hurt them not nor profit them, and they say: These are
our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do ye indeed inform
Allah of something He knows not, in the heavens or on earth?- Glory to Him!
and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!" [Yunus, 18]
"O men! Here is a
parable set forth! Listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot
create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! And if the fly
should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it
from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!" [Hajj 73]
# Allah has no sons or daughters, He never resemble what He creates
Some of the Jews and
Christians believe that Allah has children; they harm Wahdaniyyah (Oneness)
and Mukhalafatun lil hawadith (He never resemble the
things He created) attributes of Allah (swt) and so they become devoid of true faith.
"The Jews call Uzair a
son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying
from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used
to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded
away from the Truth!" (Tauba, 30)
"Certainly they
disbelieve who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said
Christ: "O Children of Israel
"They say: "Allah
hath begotten a son!" Glory be to
Him! He is Self- Sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No
warrant have ye for this! Say ye about Allah what ye know not?" [Yunus, 68]
Had Allah wished to take to
Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth
create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One,
the Over powering." [Zumar, 4]
"For it is not
consonant with the majesty of the Most Gracious that He should beget a son. Not
one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to the Most
Gracious as a servant." [Maryam, 92-93]
Some
Christians fall into unbelief by harming Wahdaniyyah
(oneness) attribute of Allah (swt).
"They
disbelieved who say: Allah is one of three (in a Trinity): for there is no god
except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a
grievous chastisement will befall the disbelievers among them." [Maída, 73]
Some of the people prostrate to
Sun, Moon and fire rather than Allah (swt). It is ordered in the verse from the
Qur'an that:
"Among His Sings are
the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. prostrate not to the Sun and
the Moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to
serve." [Fussilat, 37]
# We must abstain from shirk (assigning partners to Allah)
Dear Readers,
The belief of oneness (tawhid), which means accepting that Allah is unique in
His existence, attributes, works and godship, constitutes the basic of
Islam religion. The violation of this basic
belief is called "shirk". Shirk is the first of the big sins. It is the biggest sin. Therefore, the
belief of "oneness" must never be harmed. It is ordered in the verses
from the Qur'an that:
"Being true in faith
to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him." [Hajj, 31]
"Take not, with Allah,
another object of worship, lest thou shouldt be thrown into Hell, blameworthy
and rejected." [Isra, 39]
"Say thou: "I am
but a man like you: it is revealed to me by inspiration, that your God is One
God. so take the straight path unto Him, and ask for His Forgiveness." And
woe to those who join gods with Allah." [Fussilat, 6]
"Allah forgiveth not
that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to
whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous
indeed." [Nisa, 48]
The holly
book with the most beautiful statements, Qur'an,
which is the basic and perfect source of Islam and protected by Allah (swt), includes the numerous emphases of this basic principle.
"Yet
there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with
Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are
overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold,
they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will
strongly enforce the punishment." [Baqarah, 165]
# Hidden shirk
Dear readers, shirk can sometimes
be hidden which is of high importance as it leads us to
disaster.
When Rasulullah (s.a.w) ordered
that: "What I fear most about you is small shirk." The companions of Rasulullah asked: "What
is small shirk?" Rasulullah ordered that: "It is hypocrisy,
worshipping to show the others. While Allah (swt) gives back the performances
of everyone, He says to people who worship to show the others: Go to people who
you made shows in the world and see if they have anything with them to give you." [Ahmed b. Hanbel, Musned, V, 428]
When worship is performed to show
the others, the godhead right of Allah (swt), who is unique in existence,
attributes, performance and divinity, is harmed. It is ordered in the verse
from the Qur'an that:
"O my son! join not in
worship (others) with Allah: for false worship is indeed the highest
wrong-doing." [Luqman, 13]
In the Holly Hadith, it is stated
that:
"I
am the one who can never be set up partners with. If the person sets up
partners with me, I let the person with the ones whom they set up partners with
me." [Muslim]
Be entrusted to Allah.
