Iman e Ahle Sunnat

  Allah Almighty had already written everything that was to happen in the universe and whatever actions the servants would perform, based on His prior knowledge. He wrote goodness in the destiny of some, and evil in the destiny of others. However, this writing does not mean that the servant was forced to act accordingly. Rather, Allah wrote what the servant was going to do of his own choice. If someone has evil written in their fate, it is because that person was going to choose evil. Had he been someone who would choose goodness, then goodness would have been written in his destiny. Neither Allah’s knowledge nor His act of writing forced anyone to do anything. Issue 1: It is prohibited to delve deeply into debates about destiny (Qadr). One should simply understand that a human is not completely like a stone, devoid of all will. Rather, Allah has granted humans a certain level of free will: if a person wants, he can do a deed—or refrain from it. It is on the basis of ...

He created the creation to manifest His grace, justice, power, and perfection. Belief : Every action of Allah Almighty is full of wisdom—whether we understand it or not. It is from His wisdom that He appointed one thing as a cause for another in this world. He made fire a cause of heat, water a cause of coolness, the eye for seeing, and the ear for hearing. If He wills, He can make fire cool, water hot, the eye hear, and the ear see. Belief : God is free from every flaw. It is impossible for God to possess any imperfection or deficiency, such as lying, ignorance, forgetfulness, oppression, shamelessness, etc. All such evils are absolutely impossible for God. And whoever believes that God can lie but does not , is in fact claiming that God has a flaw but hides it. Then, it wouldn't stop at lying—this logic would apply to all evils, like oppression, theft, annihilation, reproduction, and countless other defects. Exalted is Allah far above such things. To consider an...

Two Causes of a Bad Ending Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Warraq (may Allah's mercy be upon him) said: "Oppressing the servants of Allah often becomes a cause for the loss of faith (Iman)." Sayyiduna Abu al-Qasim Hakeem (may Allah's immense mercy be upon him) was once asked: "Is there any sin that can deprive a person of faith?" He replied: "There are Two causes for the destruction of faith:" Not being grateful for the blessing of faith. Oppressing a fellow Muslim. (Tanbīh al-Ghāfilīn, p. 204, Dār al-Kitāb al-‘Arabī, Beirut)

 If someone denies even a single matter that is certainly known to be part of Islam, it is considered disbelief (kufr). For example, denying the Day of Judgment, angels, Paradise, Hell, or accountability in the Hereafter; rejecting the obligation of prayer (Salah), fasting (Sawm), pilgrimage (Hajj), or almsgiving (Zakat); not believing that the Quran is the word of Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ); disrespecting the Kaaba, the Quran, any prophet, or any angel; belittling any Sunnah; mocking the rulings of Shariah; or denying or doubting any well-known and established aspect of Islam—these all constitute kufr. To be a Muslim, both faith (Iman) and verbal declaration (Iqrar) are necessary, except in situations of compulsion. If a person is unable to speak due to a disability, if uttering words of faith would result in death, or if a limb would be severed, then verbal declaration is not obligatory. In such cases, even speaking words contrary to Islam to save one’s life is allowed, but it is bett...
