Hadith 37 - The Grace of Allah and His Mercy

Sharh Arba'een an Nawawî

Imam Nawawi’s Forty Hadeeth

Hadeeth 37

On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), from what he has related from his Lord:

Verily Allah ta’ala has written down the good deeds and the evil deeds, and then explained it [by saying]: “Whosoever intended to perform a good deed, but did not do it, then Allah writes it down with Himself as a complete good deed. And if he intended to perform it and then did perform it, then Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds up to seven hundred times, up to many times multiplied. And if he intended to perform an evil deed, but did not do it, then Allah writes it down with Himself as a complete good deed. And if he intended it [i.e., the evil deed] and then performed it, then Allah writes it down as one evil deed.”

It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their two Saheehs in these words.

Whom Allah does not Guide - FATE & DESTINY

Whom Allah does not Guide

Then Al-Haqq (SWT) clarified to us those whom He does not admit to his guiding will. Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) says:

<<And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people>>

Ayah 264 from surat Al-Baqarah

And He (TWT) says:

<<And Allah guides not the people, who are Zalimun (wrong doers)>>

Ayah 258 from surat Al-Baqarah

And His saying (Sobhanoh):

<<And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiquin (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah>>

Ayah 24 from surat At-Taubah

And His saying (Azz wa Jall):

<<Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever>>

Ayah 3 from surat Az-Zumar

And Al-Haqq (Sobhanoh) says:

<<Verily, Allah guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar>>

Ayah 28 from surat Ghafir

And by that Allah (SWT) showed us who is prevented his guidance. For if you are an infidel (Kafir) or a wrong doer (Zalim) or a disobedient to Allah (Fasiq) or a liar or a transgressor against your soul (Musrif), then Allah (TWT) will not guide you and guidance here means the help to reach the way of Faith and the help to increase that Faith. And Al-Haqq (Jalla Jallaloh) clarified that to us so that we get away from those things and stop doing them so that we end up entering Allah’s will of guidance.

And in both cases, you enter the will of Allah and you do not get out of it. If you choose to get away from the infidelity, the wrong doing and disobeying Allah then you enter to the will of Allah’s guidance. And if you take the road to infidelity, wrong doing and disobeying Allah then you will enter the will of Allah by not guiding you. So in both cases you do not get out of the Will and nothing will happen to you except what Allah wills for you, for there is no way out from Allah’s will in what ever choice you take.

This is the mere truth and you should know it so that you do not think that if you believe or if you disbelieve, you are getting out of the Divine Will with your Faith or with your Disbelief. All what has happened is that you either obeyed or disobeyed Allah’s prescribed intention and you did not leave of the Divine Will and you are not leaving it.

By that we have reached the point where everything happening is by Allah’s will (SWT) and truly Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) has created a leading guidance for all the people, the believing and the disbelieving. And He also created a helping guidance, and that is only for the true believers with which Allah increases their Faith. And Allah has showed us what He pleases for those who believe in Him and what He pleases for those who do not believe in Him, Al-‘Eiazo be Allah, and He clarified for us how He increases the Faith and guidance of the believer and how He abandons the infidel and leaves him to the devils (Shayatin) who beautify the sins to him and persuade him to disobey Allah and then He (SWT) seals his heart so that the disbelief stays and does not get out of his heart.

And you if you choose to believe or not to believe, what Allah pleases will happen to you, either by increasing your guidance or by following the devil (Al-Shytan). But in both cases you are entering the Divine Will and you are submitted to it, if you obey the prescribed will of Allah in His universe, then you will enter the Will and if you oppose and disobey Allah’s prescribed will in His universe, you will also enter the Divine Will.

What is Predestination? Fate Qadr

 

Fate and Destiny (Al-Qadaa wa Al-Qadar)

CHAPTER ONE

Fate and Destiny (Al-Qadaa wa Al-Qadar)

There has not been a topic that is more likely discussed, argued and debated as that topic of Al-Qadaa wa Al-Qadar. That’s because everyone wants to argue it,

·         whether one is knowledgeable or ignorant about it. And a question being always asked is whether everything happening to us is pre-destined?

·         So why is the call to Account then? And can I do anything that is not by the will of Allah?

·         The questioning goes even further; if this is the truth, where I can’t do except what Allah has determined for me, why Allah punishes me by sending me to Hell?

·         Is it just to be called to Account in the Hereafter?

You will find that, this question is asked only by those who has transgressed against their souls and disobeyed Allah. On the other hand, you will not find anyone saying, that since everything is pre-determined by Allah, then why will Allah bless me with the Jannah? Definitely, that is a question that you never hear. You always hear people saying that the call to Account is unjust, because our actions have already been pre-destined by Allah.

Allah (SWT) has given man the freedom of choice throughout his life. From here came the debate; that is some people would think that the freedom of choice given to man conflicts with the consent of Allah in His universe, which is very far from the truth.

And those people refer to Al-Ayaat Alkarima

<<But ye will not, unless Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom>>

Ayah 30 from surat Al-Insan (ad-Dahr)

They also refer to the words of Allah (SWT) to Al-Rasoul (PBUH)

<<Verily,you (O Muhamed PBUH)  will not be able to guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills>> 

Ayah 56 from surat Al-Qasas

And Allah also says

                                               

<<For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills>> 

Ayah 8 from surat Fatir

So, if those are the Ayat and this is the will of Allah, how are we called to Account on the Day of Resurrection?

Here we can say that Allah (SWT) has what He wills in His creation. There is nothing in the universe of Allah that can be considered to be exempt from his decree. This is the mere truth that we start with, and we can add to this the fact that the people are themselves contributing to their destruction. And that they will deserve either the punishment or the mercy of Allah according to their own deeds, as Allah (Galla Gallaloh) says

<<Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught; it is man that wrongs his own soul>>  

Ayah 44 from surat Yunus
