INFORMING THE ANGLES ABOUT ADAM (III)

 INFORMING THE ANGLES ABOUT ADAM (III)


READ PART (II) HERE


 Allah said: You are of those allowed respite.


Iblis said: Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (they will not be dutiful to You). Allah said: Get out from Paradise, disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all. And O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in Paradise, and eat thereof as you both wish, but approach not this tree otherwise you both will be of the Zalimeen (unjust and wrongdoers).


"Then Satan whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which was hidden from them of their private parts before, he said: Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals. Satan swore by Allah to them both saying:

Verily I am one of the sincere well wishers for you both.


So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise over themselves (in order to cover their shame). Their Lord called out to them saying Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you, Verily Satan is an open enemy unto you?

They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers. Allah said: Get down one of you an enemy to the other (i.e. Adam, Eve, and Satan etc). On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment, for a time. He said: therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (resurrected). (Chapter 7:11-25 Qur'an).


We imagine when Allah the Almighty decided to create Adam: He addressed His angels and told them to prostrate before him. He did not mean to ask their opinion or take their advice, for He is above that. Allah the Exalted told them that He was going to create a vicegerent on the earth who would have children and grandchildren who would corrupt the earth and shed each other's blood. That is why the angels said to Allah the Almighty:


Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood! (Chapter 2:30 Quran).There are old traditions about the angels before the creation of Adam, According to Ibn Qatadah, it was said that the angels were informed about the creation of Adam and his progency by the jinn who lived before Adam. Abdullah Ibn Umar said that the jinn had existed for about 2000 years before Adam and then shed blood. Therefore Allah sent on them an army of angels that drove them out to the depths of the seas.

Calling to Nationalism is a Call to Ignorance?

 Calling to Nationalism is a Call to Ignorance Question: What is your opinion regarding the call to nationalism which says that belonging to a race or language is more important than religion? These groups claim that they are not against religion, but that they consider nationalism to be more important. What is your opinion on this claim? Answer: This call is ignorance and it is not to ascribe oneself to it, nor to encourage those who call to it. Indeed, it is obligatory to destroy it, because Islamic law orders us to combat it and drive it out, to refute their analogies and claims with answers which make the truth clear to those who seek it. For it is Islam alone that keeps alive the Arab character, language, culture and morality. To snub this religion is, in reality, to destroy the Arab character in its language, culture and morality. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the (Muslim) preachers to strive hard to spread the call of Islam, in order to defeat those who attempt to suppress...

IN which time the Supplication is never rejected?

 ⚡Two Types of Duaa: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:  ❝The supplication made between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah is never rejected.❞ 📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (521) and Sunan al-Tirmidhee (212, 3595) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] 📑 In explanation of the above Hadeeth, Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله said: ❝Many people neglect to supplicate between the Adhaan and Iqaamah. They preoccupy themselves with the recitation of the Qur’aan. No doubt that the recitation of the Qur’aan is a glorious act, but the recitation of the Qur’aan has its own time. That one utilizes this time in making Du’aa and Dhikr is better, because the confined Duaa* in its proper time is better than making general Duaa (at any other time). As for the recitation of the Qur’aan then it is general, (meaning) it can be recited at all times. But this time (between the Adhaan and Iqaamah) should be allocated for making Duaa. So, utilizing this time in making Duaa, Dhikr and seeking forgiveness is bet...

Is it permissible to wear clothes which shows the skin?

It is not permissible to wear clothes which shows the skin Your Eminence Shaykh 'Abdul- 'Aziz ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Baaz; may Allah protect you!  As-salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!). To proceed:  I am a married woman. Sometimes I wear light clothes which may describe the skin of my body or may be too short that they show my thighs when I sit. I wear these clothes because I find it easy to do home chores while wearing them. Sometime I wear them because of hot weather or to look attractive for my husband. But my husband advised me not to wear these clothes in front of our children. My children's ages range between three and nine years old. He fears that the children may remember their mother's appearance in these clothes when they grow up. I did not accept his advice on the basis that our children are still young. They are too young to be tempted by these clothes.  This issue occupies my mind and I would like...
