Sheikh Umar Al-Ashar …missing
Story: In the time of Sheikh Ibne Taymyaah one sheikh claimed to have super natural powers. Anybody would be easily deceived by his acts. Ibne Taymyyah challenged him. He (pseudo sheikh) asked Ibne Taymyyah to put his hands in bag full of coins and take out the coins and count them and this sheikh without looking would be able to tell how many coins he is holding in his hands. Sheikh Ibne Taymyyah put his hand in the bag grabbed coins and kept his fist closed and tight and asked the pseudo sheikh how many coins is he holding? The man guessed it and it turned out to be wrong. People asked Ibne Taymmyah how did you defeat him? He said it was easy. Whenever someone would take out the coins and count the Jinn would count with him and Jinn would tell this man the right number. When I grabbed the coins I didn’t open and count the number so I didn’t know how many were in my hand neither could Jinn count.
Story: Dr. Abdul Azez Ahmed was one of the friend or acquaintance of Sheikh Waleed. He was in Dubai and there was famous magic show going on. He decided to meet the magician and asked about his magic. He told something to the effect that Allah protects the believers. The magician attested to the fact by sharing a story of his life. I used to do a magic trick by putting 6 knives in my chest . Jinn would enter in my body and knives would be entering inside him not in my body. One day I was performing on stage and I saw a man with beard entered in theater/auditorium. He was reciting something. While I was doing my act all of a sudden the Jinn that entered in my body fled. I started bleeding so badly. I was in the hospital for four months. Later on I called my Jinn and asked why did you go. He said this beard man recited something so strong we had to flee out of the country. The Sheikh asked the magician didn’t you try to harm the beard man? He said of course he caused so much pain to me for two years I sent 100s of Jinns but all of them return without been able to harm him as he is protected. He never misses a single salah.
One day sahaba saw a man who walked and sat by the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam
He said, “Tell me about Eeman.” He (the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, “It is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day and to believe in Divine Destiny (Al-Qadar), both the good and the evil of it.” He said, “You have spoken rightly”.
In another narration there is a variation in this hadith with the addition of “to believe in hereafter and the balance”.
Sahaba were shocked and asked the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam who is this man?
Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam responded, this was Jibreel, he came to teach your religion.
Linguistic definition of Malaikha: Plural of Malak
Example of pig?
The point sheikh was trying to make was you have to understand the culture of the language. To understand what these words mean in this time. For instance some times we use negative words to describe something cool. Dwag or this is trash….man.
For instance the word Saa’ can mean watch or 60 min. Is this the right meaning? In regards to acceptance of Duaa prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam described whoever makes dua in the last part of Juma his dua will be accepted. It’s a short period of time. It can’t mean ‘watch’. Also you can’t replace the word Ilm with knowledge. As the word Ilm carries deeper meaning.
Some scholar say comes from Maalik (honor) or some say mulik (to take with great strength) and you will find most Arabic scholar say it comes from Al-Aluka which means message. They are very close meaning if you look each other. The angel will give take the message from God, take it with great strength.
There is a difference between linguistic meaning and technical meaning. For example Salah linguistically means Duaa. Linguistically you prayed Isha if you make duaa. Technically its not right. It has certain timing, certain process. Zakah means increasing. There is always link between linguistic and technical meaning. All of the salah is about duaa. Zakah you do for the sake of Allah.
Sometimes shariah would not define word technically, it will be difined by customs or the people used in that culture.
Technically speaking: Malaika are benelovent beings, created from light, don’t possess free will and carry out certain functions by Allah.
A Common Misconception: Angeles are creatures of light that have no physical attributes.
Dangerous definition written in misconception of malalika. It says they are not physical beings. But angels do have physical attributes. Al Quran
Surah 6 vers 93
93: Muhsin Khan: And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah, or says: "I have received inspiration," whereas he is not inspired in anything; and who says, "I will reveal the like of what Allah has revealed." And if you could but see when the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): "Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) with disrespect!"
93: Yusuf Ali: Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"
Allah describes angels hands. In Surah fatir
1: Muhsin Khan: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the (only) Originator [or the (only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, - two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things.
Some of them have two wings, some have four. So wings are physical description. They write it’s a physical attribute, They talk which is a physical attribute. Also Prophet told angels made tawaaf, angels who carry through….??? missing. 500 years from ear to shoulder.
Very clear physical descriptions for angels
Those who deny their physical attributes are usually one who copy that they don’t analyze the word. If you go to the root you will understand. You will see philosopher or Muslim who hold these positionsthey got it from Greek. They believe angels are nothing but prophet imagined.
Philosophers view: Its figment of the prophets’ imaginations.
Prophets are so pure or cave or dark places. He purifies himself and these voices are just sounds and they think they are angels. These voices are from nature. They don’t agree with
Ibne sina or Alfarabi they viewed god existence very different way. God exist in your brain. For instance, mind does exist but you can’t see it neither can you touch it. That’s god. This is the clearest Kufr. Even Iblees believes Allah exist.
Ibne Tamayyah statement …missing
Pagan Arab View:
They claimed angels as daughters of Allah. They have claimed the
Surah 43 verse 19, Surah 149
19: Muhsin Khan: And they make the angels who themselves are slaves to the Most Beneficent (Allah) females. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be questioned!
Jewish View:
Traditional Jews view very closely to Muslims. Even the word Angel is malag close to malak. The traditional portrait a functionary they distance action. Quran teaches some
Allah says in Surah baqarah verse 2:96-97
96: Muhsin Khan: And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who - ascribe partners to Allah (and do not believe in Resurrection - Magians, pagans, and idolaters, etc.). Everyone of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment. And Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
97: Muhsin Khan: Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ): "Whoever is an enemy to Jibrael (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Quran) down to your heart by Allah's Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.
Christians View:
Angles of God, They distinguish between good and bad angels. Satan or Iblees or demon they basically fallen against god. Angels appear in humans but not…missing . Angels are often depicted in wings. Scholastic. There are also guardian angels. Christian also believe intermediaries to some forces. The moving of the star and sun are done by angels. Modern belief ????? has no….missing
Evidence for the obligation to Believe in the Angels:
2:98. "Whoever is an enemy to Allâh, his angels, his Messengers, Jibrael (Gabriel) and Mikael (Michael), Then Verily, Allâh is an enemy to the disbelievers."
As for us (Muslims) it’s the pillar of eman. Allah created the angels, with some of them 35:1
Muhsin Khan: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the (only) Originator [or the (only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, - two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things.
285: Muhsin Khan: The Messenger (Muhammad SAW) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)." Surah Baqarah verse 285
Allah says Aaamaanur rasoola. It is so common beliefing Allah and believing in Angels. The reason behind this order is that because they (angels) are the connection as they took the message (book) and brought the message. Commonly the third pillar is books.
Believing in angels in second pillar is based from Quran, Sunnah.
The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Eeman is to believ ein Allah, and His Angels, and His books…).” [Al-Bukharee and Muslim]
By Ijma (Consensus of the scholar): Need verification ….for text below
Ibn Hazm mentioned the consensuss on this issue in this book Maratib Al-ijma. Ibn Taymiyyah and others also resported this consensus. (consensus of the scholar)
An Nawwai also states missing…. There is consensus among the shaafi. Technically its not consensus in all the madahib.
Ibne Hazm
Beliving in the Quran and messenger necessitates belief in the angles. So if you don’t belief in angel you contradict your belief in Quran or how the whole message came.
Believing in Angles is part of eeman. The details are not part of eeman such as wings and looks.
But names such as Chief Angel Malik for hell fire. There is no proof of Israel. Munkar and Nakeer are the angels they question in the grave.
There is debate about scholar is if Munkar or Nakeer are names or description. According to Ibne Taymmayah said its names.
About the matter of unseen we can’t take it for granted. We have to have a proof otherwise we can’t take it part of our belief. It has to be authentic sound.
Jibreel is in charge of message.
Mikaail is for vegetation.
Israfil will blow the trumpet. Eel means rasool. Jibreel or Jibrael spelled or pronounced two different ways is the one who assists with the message.
As salaat is the protection for the momin. The similitude of momin is that he enter the castle and lock the castle. Castle is Dhikr Allah.
Surah 66 v 6. “O You who believe! ward off from yourselves and Your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the commands they receive from Allâh, but do that which they are commanded”. .
Q&A Session:
Jibreel was putting the mud into pharohs mouth. How can he disobey? How come we can contradict? Jibreel in order to protect the honor of Allah was trying to prevent Pharoah to say Allah’s name as its pure and it doesn’t befit to come out of Pharoahs name. There is place in order to protect the honor of.
Can humans see Angels? Jabir radi Allah anhu also saw JIbreel when he came to remind prophet Sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam the rights of neighbor until the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam got concerned that he might ask them to be part of inheritence. Mary also the angels. Lut also saw when three angels… came Mikail, israfeel. Missing….
Angels being part of unseens is a mercy from Allah.
Out of Allah’s mercy He made them a part of unseen.. Imagine if you can see the unseen and you go on driving on the road. Allah u Akbar. So we can walk in this earth with tranquility.
They were created (from of the book). Ibne Qayyam every order is carried by Angels. Prophet sal Allah ualayhi wa sallam. Sun will be moved by angels. Angels are
They don’t disobey their lord. The verse above Surah 6 verse 66.
.They have levels or hierarchy exist. Chief of Angels i.e Jibreel. Rayees ul malaikah. Jibreel said the best of angels who witnessed Badr.
Surah Takweer vs. 19
They don’t have a gender. Whats the proof. When Kuffar said Allah rejected the idea that they are females.
They have wings. Jibreel has 500 wings.
They have the ability to change forms. Waz kur fil kitab maryam ( Surah 19:16 Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.) we also discussed example earlier.
Aisha reported prophet sal allah u alayhi wa sallam once standing talking to man he looked like Dahil kalbee. Then she said why did he was on horse and you were standing. It wasn’t good manner. Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said did you see the man, it was jibreel and he send salam.
They are not tired. They praise. surah 21 verse 20
“they (i.e. the angels) glorify his praises night and day, (and) they never slacken (to do so)”.
They don’t eat or drink. As Ibrahim offered them food but they didn’t eat.
They have Hayyah or modesty being shy in. Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam have compared Hayaa of Uthman that angels are shy from him (uthman radi Allah anhu).
Angles fear Allah subhanah Surah Anbiyaah Surah 21 verse 28
They are harmed by that harms people. Prophet said if you eat Garlic don’t come to the masjid. That harms angels and Muslims. Don’t spit in front. Spit on the left. Neither on it as its right side. In front of you is Allah and right hand is angel. Someone would ask how Allah can be in front of you? One example to understand is of Sun. For so many people Sun can be in front of them.
If you smoke the breath of the smoke which harms human will also harm angels.
They love the righteous and pray for them. So many things you do and will pray for you and ask Allah to riase your status. Surah 42. Verse 5
5: Muhsin Khan: Nearly the heavens might rent asunder from above them (by His Majesty), and the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and ask for forgiveness for those on the earth, verily, Allah is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful”. The sunnah full of example. 1. Those who teach and learn the hadith of learning. Narrated by Tirmidhi. Those who lead prayer in the masjid or come to the masjid. Those who pray in the first line. Those who stay after the prayer. Angels will keep making dua. Also those who eat Suhoor for siyaam, those who find space in line and fill the line. Angel will pray for you. Those who make salaat and salam on prophet. Those who visit sick. In the night Allah sends 70,000 angels they make istighfar for you until morning. Also Allah said pray Surah Ahzab v 43. Also when you make dua for a brother angel will make same dua. Also angels will make taameem on your dua. Also in On salaatul Juma or ask Allah accept the dua of the believer. If you are in funeral anything you ask angels will say amen. Angels will lower the wings on the student of knowledge. Whenever you walk to learn they lower their wings. Picture is when you walk when they put the right hand that’s how angel respect you. Because you became very dear person to Allah.
That’s why Ibne Mubarak…missing.. Also attend funerals of saad ibne muaad. His funerals was witnessed by 70,000 angels. Ask for forgivness.
They curse in certain situation. Surah baqarah 2:161.
If a person presents iron stick pointing at someone even in joke the angel will curse until he puts out of the face of the other person. They curse disbelievers. Only exception is for training purposes But jokingly would. Whoever curses companions Allah will curse them reported by Tabarani.
Innovators will be cursed by angels and the supporters of innovators. Also one who commited majors sins in haram.
And are verily ranged in ranks for service ( 37:165)
“Verily, we (angels), we stand In rows for the prayers (as You Muslims stand In rows for Your prayers);”
They celebrate His praise night and day and never do they lag or intermit.
General:
All angels were created to worship Allah and gorlify him.
To deliver message of Allah to all the prophets
Hell fire is under Maalik. 19 angels guard hellfire under Malik. Allah says that we created number fitnah (to see who will believe and who will not). Don’t question His wisdom. Some asked why 19 why not 20.
Also Angels are incharge of paradise. Tthey welcome the believers and open the gates. Their role is to take care of paradise.
Every human being has angels writing their deeds. Even in some scholar say that there is another book every thing you say it will be documented. Once Aisha was in Umrah. Two sisters keep talking. She got sick of them. She said why don’t give your angels a break (Aisha) (from writing).
When you do a good deed angels immediately write it. But some scholar say six hours (saa’aa) or period of time will be the delay for sin. And angels would say he/she will repent it will be under written good deed if he repents before they write.
Surah Baqarah the duaa we all pray in the end of the last verses of the Quran. He taught us three things for your forgivness. Afu, means when something doesn’t exist anymore. For example foot print doesn’t exist anymore on the beach when when waves of ocean come to the end. That happens when you immediately ask for forgivness. It will not be written against you. Sometimes you don’t do it right away. “Ighfir Lana”. Which means cover Mighfar is a protection or something to cover head. Basicallly something you sinned it will maghrfira and it will not harm you. How can sin be covered by 10 ways.
Good deeds willl take away bad deeds
Tawba you repent.
Trials will cover.
Famous 10 list is Mukaafiratul Zunoob. Ibne Hajar wrote the book.
The third stages which is you ask for Allah’s mercy. If you don’t do the first two. Angels you write actions for heart. The mercy you’ve in your heart for people or animal. Bad deed in heart envy, jealousy or evil to others be documented. What about the thoughts? Bad thoughts are not written until it changes into actions.
One role of angel is to show you good dreams
Bad dreams are from shaitan. When you sleep your soul leave the body. Sometimes will angel will show you good dreams. Sometimes shaitan
Hulum = bad dreams . Some are thoughts it has nothing to do with angels or Jinns. This hadith of nafs.
Same concept from a different source:
Requests when you make du`a' from the last ayah in Baqarah:
1) `Afw - the sin doesn't exist at all anymore in your record - completely whipped out.
2) Maghfirah - What if you don't ask for forgiveness immediately? then you ask for maghfirah ( = protection) because it is documented against you. (Maybe it took you yrs to change your way of life?) How can the sin be covered? 10 ways 1) Good deeds 2) Sickness 3) Struggles in your life 4) Intercession on the day of Judgement.. etc. (10 famous ways = Mukathirat az-zunoob)
3) Rahma - What if you didn't do enough to wipe it out? What is left for you? Allah's (swt) mercy.
Angels even write the good deeds of your heart. ex: Mercy in your heart for humans/animals, patience, etc. Bad deeds of the heart (envy, jealousy, hate, etc.) are also documents. Bad thoughts are not documented unless it takes places. There is a special angel that are to show you the good dreams. (Bad dreams are from shaytan).
Dreams
Ru'yah - from Angels
Hilm - from Shaytan
Hadith an-Nafs - your own thoughts while you are sleeping
Story: A man coming or going (can’t remember) to grocery store. He opened his door and took out his one foot. For some reason he put his foot back for few seconds a car came and passed taking out the open door but leaving that man unharmed. I think sheikh went and asked him what made him put his foot back in the car. Rest Missing…
of the accident and grocery story. Allah have given Muaaqibaat.
If you have one jinn there are 4 angels to protect you. Allah protects you in so many ways. Insects crawl in the night they can enter your mouth, nose or ears. But Allah has setup protection for you.
Larry Shaire story…missing. He was leaving for flight and changed his mind. Air plane crashed and no one survived. You feel this way.
Moving of stars are done by angels. All over the universe. So there are specific reasons for their creations There are a lot in number.
Surah Muddaassir 74 verse 31
Aand we have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and we have fixed their number (19) Only as a trial for the disbelievers, In order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [That This Qur'ân is the Truth as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written In the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase In faith (as This Qur'ân is the truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those In whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allâh intends by This (curious) example ?" Thus Allâh leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. and none can know the hosts of Your Lord but He. and This (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) Reminder to mankind”.
No one can count how many soldier of Allah exist.
In the seventh sky exist baitaul mamoor equal to kaaba. He (prophet sal Allah) saw Ibrahim alayhi salaam sitting against that house . There are 70,000 angels enter this house every day and they never return. How many of them are out there.
Also prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said hell fire will be tied with 70,000 ropes and each rope is held by 70,000 angels just to hold the hellfire. Multiply them There are millions and billions of Angels....
Imagine 2 writing deeds according to some opinoion 4 protect you.
One wisdom in their creation is that Allah is showing you His might
Protects from false beliefs and heresy
If you know that you are praying alone. Or you know that many creations are doing same what you are doing. They are also doing to protect you. You feel honored.
Also Adam your father. Angels were asked to prostrate. They pray for you. Prophet sal Allahualayhi wa sallam. In the night of Qadr. The no of angels coming down to the earth as much as the sand of the earth and the rains…missing. All of them asking to accept fast for you. That’s why it’s (laylat ul Qadr) called night of power. For seeking forviness. For the night of Al Qadr.
Helps the believers to be patient. Jibreel came to the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam from the trip of At-Ta’if with the angels of the mountain to give him the option of punishment. He will bring victory to the believers.
Allah used to destroy the disbelievers. He stopped doing that after the nation of Musa said, “Let God take care of it”. Since this time Allah asked humans to earn respect.
It shows the honor of believers and bring shyness to disobey Allah subahanwa ta’ala. When you realize you are alone in front of the internet. Allah is watching you and angels are watching feeling sad that you are falling from the eyes. They are witnessing it. This will help you to be away. You will feel that when you repent. Thisaid the believers.
Question was raised who is higher or righteous human beings? This was raised by Al Mutazillah. There is no way you can resolve this dispute, do you know why. Because issues can be seen from different perspective. Different example male better females another perspective female better than males. We have to decide from which angel you are looking. They will never come to an agreement. That’s the mistake.
The Ashaaria always responded to Moatazillah. They always came with a reaction. They were extreme group who forced to follow certain ideologies. They refuted them and. Ashaaria have two opinions
a- Shia belief imams are way better than angels. Others have had different opinions on whether righteous people are better or angels.
b…missing
Ibn Taymiyyah said it depends on perspective - if you look at angels in a worldly perspective, angels don't sin but even righteous people do, so angels are better. But if you look at it from the akhirah in jannah, righteous people can be higher. In the end, he said there is no point in discussing it because there is no benefit in knowing who is better.
How CAN WE UNDERSTAND FOLLOWING TWO VERSES
2:34
34: Muhsin Khan: And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.". And they prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).
Does this mean that Iblees was an angel? There are some known scholars who said yes, that he was an angel and the one exception who disobey. But the vast majority of scholars said this is wrong and came from dealings with disbelievers. There is proof in Qur'an for him being a jinn:
Allah clearly says in Surah Kahaf verse 18:50 that iblees was from Jinns. He was not from angles. He made it very clear. “He was one of the jinn and he disobeyed His lord”. Also said clearly in Surah 15 verse 27
Jinn created from fire.
Why Iblees was created from fire. And he disobeyed saying he was created from fire. Since he was created from fire Angel were created from light.
Al-Hasan al-Basri said that Iblees was never an angel, he was always a jinn. Ibn Taymiyyah said that Allah gave him the shape of an angel because of his righteousness, so he was with them. Others said that when Allah gave them the order to prostrate, Iblees was with them not from them. You can say "the students are from the Bay Area" even if a few are not.
CLARIFICATION FOR SECOND VERSE:
102: Muhsin Khan: They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew.
These verses talking about a claim some Jews raised.
They said first magician was Sulaiman as he was controlling Jinn. Mostly those who controlling Jinns are magicians.
Babylon is in Iraq. When Harut and Marut were mentioned in this verse. We just said angels will not do sin. Magic is Kufr. How come two angels teaching sin? How is that possible? Some scholar said malaikan means two kings not two angels. In a different Qiraaat read by Abdullah ibne missing… and.
This is about two kings who have two names. This opnion was mentioned by Ibne Hatim. Other scholar said “the two kings are not human but from Jinns” they are from tribe harut and marut ibne hazm opinion.
Al Qurtubi had another twist “ Maa” it comes to affirm or deny. Maa here means teaching magic. Al qurutbi says maa is to negate as what Allah is saying they follow what shayateen taught they didn’t follow. Those who taught magic were not two angels neither Sulaiman.
Alquratabi was so confident that he said that no other opinion should be considered. No one else supports his claim. Books of tafseer explains that they were two angels didn’t commit sins they were doing what Allah ordered them to do. It was a test from Allah to see who will see in front of him the power of magic and he will avoid the power to learn and use it.
Others such as Ibn Jarir said that the angels were not committing sins, but they were doing what Allah ordered them. It was a test to have people see magic and not fall into it. This is the clearer understanding of the mufassireen.
Sometimes for means Allah make haram easy. He makes a lot of money so accsssible it’s a test. Even if it’s a successful. These angels even said will they will become kaafir. Nothing contradicts our belief. These angels never ocmmmited shirk or kufr they just obeyed Allah.
Angels don’t enter where:
Ibne Hassan had a puppy and tied to his beds. Prophet didn’t enter the house as angels didn’t enter. Angels will not enter a house where dog is inside.
Also he said Angels won’t enter the house where there are pictures. Also who is bad to his parents.
Angels won’t enter in the bathrooms. So if I go to the bathroom. What does that mean? Some scholar says they will not enter literally. They can do their job from outside. Some scholar said angels of mercy will not enter but others writing deeds will. Hadith taking clearly about hanging pictures. If its displayed but not in a honored way. For example on the car sheet and tigers it should be okay….need verification… wallahu ta’la Alam.
Q&A Session: Dreams has some symbolic things. Giving glad tidings to people. These meaning can be drived from Quran sunnah or culture of the person. Once ibne Sireen interpreted following dream “I am holding a cup a glass of water. All of sudden glass broke and water remained”. He said Prophet gave an example of woman through glass. And water is your water and son will live but mother will die. That’s exactly what happened.
Someone else came and ask the interpretation of the following dream with Ibne Sireen. “I am carrying the funeral of prophet”. Ibne Sireen asked “Are you attending the class of innovators? By attending you are burying the sunnah.
Ibne Bass said “I saw myself calling adhaan”. One person that one going to hajj. The other person first missing…. I remembered verse “Allah called adhaan related to hajj”. When I saw the other person he had fear in his face. He didn’t look I connected the verse in the Quran Surah Yusuf.
A woman said she keep saying herself walking on particular shoes on throne while every body is standing. Sheikh said do you’ve any problems. Sheikh said bring your shoes. He took the shoes and looked to the heel of the shoes. They found below the heel ayatul Kursi written. It was a part of magic.
Story: Once Sheikh told “A sister came and told she had a baby few years back. She saw in her dereams to use this wood and this will prevent miscarriage. She woke up and found that wood next to her she didn’t do anything and she got miscarriage. When next time she got pregnant she saw same dream again this time she didn’t ignore the advise and her baby survived. The third time she saw same dream again this time she didn’t pay attention and miscarriage happened. Fourth time she got pregnant she saw the dream again and her baby survived. She saw that dream 4 timesSheikh Bin Baaz also answered. We believe that humans or angels or Jinns they might help. This becomes in a form of medicine. She used it and she survived. It happens very. But keep in mind dreams can’t legislate. Go to cave and make two rakah. No we don’t accept legislation from dreams. . Need verification for the story details….
Question about not spitting on right. Angel on the right didn’t mean one of the two writers. Next to right shoulder.
If you make dua against someone and it is wrong reason/slander it will go back to you. If its justice it will go against that person.
Angels dua are good as they are more pure. Imagine you ask the dua for someone and a purer creation makes dua for you.
Number 7 is common we don’t have any proof regarding .
Question: Do Non-Muslims also have angels protecting them?
Scholars said yes, it is part of the mercy of Allah.
Even Mushrikeen are protected by angels out of mercy.
Liguistically means in Arabic. Arabic Jannah means invisible, concealed seclude. They can see you from a position where you can’t see them.
Technically: Accountable beings, made from fire. they have special abilities unlike those of humans. Humans are superior creation way over Jinns. They are way higher and capabilities than Jinn and Allah gives so many example in Quran. We will touch some points. They have special abilities. When you take off your clothes and say Bismillah they can’ tsee your body.
Jinns have various names. Also knows Ifreet named used in Quran which means a Jinn means who has super power or higher or stronger capabilities.
Then term related shayaateen. Only to refers to Jinn who are disbelievers.
Jinns could be muslim not muslim. Shayateen are non believer Jinns.
Al Raah is also referred or Ghost in English.
PAGAN VIEW
Daughers of Allah but some said sons of Allah. One common belief that was god and satan were two brother. They fought and satan. Evil belief. Story of sheikh visiting Muslim country in a coffee shop. Girls and guys and had tattoos. They were shaitanic worshippers. They worship devils. Very rich kids. One said satan is the younger brother of Allah. They were high.
JEWS VIEW:
Many new jews deny. Some traditional belief they were created fire and water close to ours
CHRISTIAN View:
Satan has personal army of demons to accomplish. They don’t belief in the concept of Jinn. Angels are bad or good. They are fallen angels. Even though the stories they stories of exorcism. They saw demons as fallen angels.
MUSLIMS VIEW:
Its obligatory, denying the existence of Jinn is kufr. Story of sister who grew up in Muslim country worshipping Jinni. She was told that her mother is a Jinni and she was worshipping the tree. It was told to her that she didn’t need to pray and her mother is taking care of it. She got shocked first time when she opened the Quran first time.
Allah said in so many verses
WHY ALLAH CREATED JINN?
Surah 51:56
56: Muhsin Khan: And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
They have their own message, lives system. They have their way to obey
“O Jinns and Humans didn’t messenger came to you amongst you and showing you my signs and (Quranic verse not available)
That Allah created jinns from fire free from smoke
Jinns were created before mankind. Iblees existed before Adam.
One of the characterstics of Jinns, they have eyes, heart, they drink eat laugh. From Quran and Sunnah.
Iblees came in the assembly of pagan Arabs. Shaitan was planning assisting for assassination of Muhammad Sal Allahu alyhi wa sallam. When he suggested that each man from different tribes should participate in assassinating Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
In battle of badr they took human forms.
Most scholars agree that we can see Jinns in original form but are very rare. No body can say this is original form. Who can tell you that this is not the original shape. How do you know that they are not taking any other shape.
Some refer to maggits hairy by old narrations.
Shaytaan has horns told by prophet. That’s a physical description
The tree of hell fire. The fruit is so ugly the face of Shayateen told by Allah. That means generally they are ugly looking.
How can Jinn’s be punished with fire, when they themselves are created from it?
They are created from fire. They are not fire. They will burned by it.
15:27
27: Muhsin Khan: And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire
Who is Ashaytaan?
He is Iblees. According to Ibne Taymyyah Adam is the father of all humans. Iblees is the father of all Jinns. Surah Kahaf verse 50, Surah 37 verse 64-65 Don’t take Iblees and his children.
The two fathers always were in conflict from the beginning. Devil will never be your friend or your advisor he is the enemy of human. “Don’t ever take shaytan in public and in secret your best friend” as said by a great scholar _________
The great taghoot.
Every human has Qareen with him
Remember Shaytan wasn’t created evil in the beginning. We don’t believe that something evil created from. So many lessons from the existence of Shaytan. Ibne Qayyam in his book Shifa Al aleel mentioned 200 reasons.
Strength the ability of Allah to create two opposite
You should fear sin. Don’t ever commit sin thinking that its small sin. You don’t know what it can lead you to. He started only not making one sujood where did he end up. For us we need to take heed.
Also test for humanity. If there is no point for sending messenger, there is no shaytan every one is good. He created humans to go through these tests.
Appreciate the opposite. You never appreciate the health until you walk in the hospital. You don’t appreciate being righteous until you see evil doers.
If there is no shaytan so many meaning of attributes have no meaning. For instance you commit sin how would you repent. How can you say Al-Ghaffoor
So many acts of worship are not possible if shaytaan doesn’t exist.
Showing Allah’s patience that Allah let him live long life. He will live all these long time. Some scholars say that it’s a reward for his good deeds. Allah rewarded him for good deeds he did in the past. He has already been given the reward. Some scholar say it’s a form of punishment. Its not honoring to live longer. Which means he will commit more sins.
Scholar said to be fair with the test for all humanity. So those people who were in a different time had to deal with shaytan but if he dies we don’t have that fitnah. Equal test for all humanity.
Shaytaan is our ENERMY to you so treat him as an enemy. 35:6
6: Muhsin Khan: Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
You always should be aware and think about your enemy that he/she might be plotting against you.
He is an expert enemy. He knows you very well. He is aware of very thing. He never quits never take a single day off or vacation. 24/7 working on you.
Unlimited accessing whispering to you. Playing with your head, heart. Coming to you in so many forms. Come to you in dreams. Prophet sal Allah ualayhni “He runs through you like blood runs in your viens”.
Also it has a lot of powers. It aids him to come to dealing with your deception.
Don’t ever under estimate power.
You can defeat him in one word. Audhu Billah. Shaytan will become so small like a fly. Allah says My true believers you’ve no control over them.
Shaytaan says “I (shaytan) asked you and you responded to my call. Shaytan can’t force you to do something. It will ask you or debate with you and that’s how he can deceive people or mislead them.
His animosity appeared in so many forms. Prophet said Every single human when they are born . They shaytan will poke a new born. What kind of heart someone would have that they don’t have mercy for a new born. He can’t do anything. That shows you so much deep hatred in his heart. It hates you for just being human.
He came to scare you in dreams. Prophet said don’t leave candles in the house. As in the olden days he could make them cause fire in the night.
Cover the utensils before you go to sleep as the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam warned us as shaytan can bring disease or plague or bacteria. The plagues are spread by help of the Jinns
Bleeding caused after the menses might be caused by Shayteen. Some belief (don’t know the detail)
Prophet Ayyub was caused a great deal of pain by him. Surah Saad 38 verse 41
41: Muhsin Khan: And remember Our slave Ayub (Job), when he invoked his Lord (saying): "Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has touched me with distress (by losing my health) and torment (by losing my wealth)!
Animosity humans can Jinns posses. Worst part is they deceive you. Ultimate goal is to make Kaafir. If he can commit. Goes from one stage to another.
He made an oath from making away from right path. 35:6. Surah 6 verse 16,17.
Ultimate goal more people to be in hell fire.
Every human has a Qareen form the Jinn which is not Muslim
Role of this Jinn to whisper to the person. Try to misguide. Prophet said every person has a qareen. Aisha asked the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam even you, he sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said my ________missing hadith. Which means that his Qareen either became Muslim or didn’t have control over.
Surah 43: verse 36.
36: Muhsin Khan: And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah) (i.e. this Quran and worship of Allah), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan devil) to be a Qarin (an intimate companion) to him.
Those who don’t remember Allah says Surah 41 verse 25.
25: Muhsin Khan: And We have assigned them (devils) intimate companions (in this world), who have made fair-seeming to them, what was before them (evil deeds which they were doing in the present worldly life and disbelief in the Reckoning and the Resurrection, etc.) and what was behind them (denial of the matters in the coming life of the Hereafter as regards punishment or reward, etc.). And the Word (i.e. the torment) is justified against them as it was justified against those who were among the previous generations of jinns and men that had passed away before them. Indeed they (all) were the losers.
He always make people extremes
Always delay tawbah (repentance)
Put fear in hearts of doing good.
Encourage Lusts.
Always raise doubts in minds. People leave doubtful matters and
Its not good to be alone. Shaytan comes close to individual. Harder to attack in Jamah. This is why its recommended not to travel alone. 3 People according to a hadith. (Quote the hadith if you know).
Follow Quran and sunnah
Be with Jamah of Muslim
Always repent and ask forgiveness
Struggling against shaytaan is part of worship.
One duaa prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said to protect from Shaytan at the moment of death. Prophet said “the strongest fitnah from Shaytaan is at the moment of death. He can come at the time of death in the human form of loved one and can say Muhammad wasn’t the true prophet and religion was wrong. He will try to deceive the person some people saw as in the form of mother or father preventing to deny Muhammad. So the person can commit Shirk and die on Kufr.
Questions:
Do Kuffar fear Jinns?
Yes Kuffar fear Jinns.
During Ramadan the leaders of Jinns will be chained. Smaller one would be loose. Need clarification.
At the time of sunset shayteen spread the most. They are coming out in large number. Specifically at right maghrib times as said by most of scholars.
How Jinns will be rewarded? Paradise. Momin has firasa guidance from Allah. Allah will give them light. They just plan right. If they are righteous it will be increased even more.
Quran didn’t tell us for a simple reason. There is no benefit if they had fitrah or not. I assume the question was if Jinn had fitrah or Angels? The answer still holds valid.
Among Jinn are there Good and Evil?
Can a shaytan become a Muslim?
How about Qareen of the prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam?
Scholar discussed does Prophet sal allahu aahyi wa sallam A had Qareen. Aslam = means protected from his whispers. That’s first opinion. Qareen is Non-Muslim. Another way to look is Qareen became Muslim. Both opinions are mentioned by Imam An Nawwi.
Life of Jinn
They eat and drink. This has been reported that Shaytan eats and rink with his left hand. Disbeliever Jins eat only from food on which Allah’s name has not been pronounced. We know most Jinns come out at maghrib time.
Trails of camels, market, shaytan lives in those places where there is a lot of cheating or deception involved. Hey Must be in senates and congress too
Don’t sit half of shade in light and shadow as that’s how the devil sit/sleep(don’t rememeber) half in the sun and half in the shadow.
Shaytan don’t enter where Allah’s name is mentioned.
Also in Ramadan they are chained. Worst one.
Adhan makes them run away
Shaytan can’t enter if you say bismillah. Eating also.
As Allah says in the Quran Hoor ul ayn will be given to any Jinns or humans.
Also Surah 18 verse 50 talks about offsprings
50: Muhsin Khan: And (remember) when We said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." So they prostrated except Iblis (Satan). He was one of the jinns; he disobeyed the Command of his Lord. Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun (polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc).
Can human and Jinn intermarry?
It is mentioned it is commonly, people claimed that they are married to Jinn. Suyootee and Ibne M_________. It is possible for a male human to marry female Jinn.
So many scholars deny the opposite that female humans can’t marry male Jinn. Islamically its not possible . Opinion of sheikh. For marriage Islamically and physically its not possible. As a woman might claim to have a child and say she was married to a Jinn.
Surah Room verse 21.
21: Muhsin Khan: And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.
Possiblity of can Jinn and human have sexual relationship? Yes it can exist.
Sheikh told about the story of the woman who was possessed by Jinn for 20 years. When he was asking the Jinn to leave he said he has been sharing this woman for 20 years. Woman’s husband and son also saw this. Later woman admitted that while she was from high school age she felt intimacy and didn’t do anything about it.
Another story talked about the woman who had pins below her skin. Someone could easily feel but doctors with x-rays failed to find any problem. Whenever her fiancé would enter the house those bent pins will start to straighten making the woman bleed all over her body. As soon as he would leave she would be fine.
90% of the time people are not possessed and need psychiatric care or medical attention is needed.
Life Span of Jinns and do they die?
Yes they die.
Generally they have longer life.
Prophet said one of the dua (Complete the duaa if you know or refer to it). You (Allah) never die but jinns and human do).
Surah 55 verse 26
26: Muhsin Khan: Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.
Jinns take often the shape of snake. Ask them to leave the house three times. “I ask you to leave by the name of Allah”. If they don’t leave then you’ve every right to kill them.
Except three types of snakes can’t take the form of Jinns. They will never take the shape Rattle snakes, cobra or bald snake no hair on the head. They should be killed immediately.
Jinns shared earth with us. Graveyards, markets lots of cheating lot of sins committed in the market. Bathroom.
Jinn have animals. Surah 17 verse 64 .
64: Muhsin Khan: "And Istafziz [literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allah's disobedience), make assaults on them with your cavalry and your infantry, mutually share with them wealth and children (by tempting them to earn money by illegal ways usury, etc., or by committing illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
Prophet said In every dung you’ve food for your riding animals.
Question:
Is the Black dog a shaytan? As some where referred in some hadith.
No they were referring to certain type of dog in actions.
Surah 27:39-40
39: Muhsin Khan: An Ifrit (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
40: Muhsin Khan: One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful."
They have ability
They fear some believers. About the hadith of Umar. Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said Whatever path Umar take shaytan takes a different path.
Their powers are limited.
Surah 26:212.
212: Muhsin Khan: Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.
Before they used to be able to listen to the commands of Allah from the first sky (as I remember please correct it). After prophet Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam was sent that avenue was closed. They didn’t have that access.
Surah 17:88
88: Muhsin Khan: Say: "If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another."
Shaytan can’t come in the shape of Muhammad sal allahu alayhi wa sallam. He can come in shape of a human but claim to be prophet
Also told Allah said.
“O Humans and Jinns if you get out of this universe but you can’t . They can’t leave. We are limited beyond first sky. Reference missing...
They can’t open the door or uncover the utensils. They don’t have much power that allow them to do everything. Humans in earth were able to utilize natural resources because of their capabilities. That’s not true that Jinns being superior. Allah gives a nice example. Jinns were working for Sulaiman. Sulaim had his chin on the cane. Until ants ate the cane. He fell on his face. Jinns then realized he died. If they knew the matters of unseen how could they not see who they were working for had died for long time.
Can the Jinn possess humans?
Almost consensus among sunni scholars that they accept it happens.
First group who denied were Motizilla. As human created from clay and jinn from fire. They are separate according to their understanding it wasn’t possible.
Whats the proof for the claim that humans can be possessed?
Allah refers to people who deal with interest. They would look like on day of judgement who been possessed by Jinns.
Surah Baqara 275.
275: Muhsin Khan: Those who eat Riba (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein.
Its part of the punishment. Insane looking. Also we have hadith. Shaytan runs in human body like
In Musnad Imam ahmed prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam was brought a son by mother that he possessed by Jinn. He said “O enemy of Allah leave his body”. Two different incidents of prophet doing that.
Some Motazillah also psychologist also deny that. Psychologist have their interpretation.
Sheikh was invited to a debate in Behrain between psychologist and scholars. He asked before starting it. I’ve two question for psychologist. 1. Do you believe in Jinns if you don’t believe in Jinns then how would you consider any patient with possibility.
2nd point Its rare incident. 90% are not Jinns. How would you know how chemical balance happens or who does it. How can you deny that a Jinn didn’t make that happen or was the cause behind this.
Biggest proof you can’t deny if certain things are unnatural being done. As example of the woman who had pins below her skin. Sheikh could feel it.
National Geographic has a documentary named Taboo about possession. And its interpretation in different cultures and religions.
Why do Jinn Possess humans?
Animosity and hatred.
Magic or revenge. Person harmed the jinns.
Adoration or lust or body of human.
Throw trash or hot water or something or say bismillah,
Sign of someone possessed by Jinn
Can’t take Quran. Story of aethist jinn. When sheikh read the poetry he didn’t mind. When he read Quran he couldn’t take it. So he tried twice.
Switch moods. Bi polar disorder. Sometimes could be psychological.
Can Jinns Help humans?
Yes its possible.
How can we cure this?
- Prophet said I saw ___________missing
- Don’t miss adhkaar of morning and evening. Link given here http://makedua.com/display_dua.php?sectionid=27 or makedua.com
- Don’t miss salaah.
- Can you cure someone. Sure so long as you are not weak and won’t faint and Jinn don’t enter in your body.
Its very hard for jinn to be in human body.
Cures again include
Surat al fatiha
Surah Falaq
Surah saffat
Surah Naas
Jinns don’t have full control over humans body. Sheikh mentioned about a woman would to get cure out of her will .
How to destroy Charms
Say bismillah and burn it.
You tear apart after saying Bismillah.
Why we don’t hear about Jinns in America?
Concept of Jinn doesn’t exist in Christian culture? They don’t believe in Jinns. They believe fallen angels or demon.
Areas in tsunami and Katrina where most impact happened was populated by a place where most magicians lived.
Also we exaggerate more. About Muslims. We should balance.
- Kitab originally means when you collect them together, when you put them together. The art of putting thoughts together. That’s why we call them kitaab. It doesn’t necessarily mean written form. So when you hear Allah has sent down kitab doesn’t mean only books sent by kitaab.
- Believing in the books of Allah is one of the pillars of eeman. Surah 4:136
= v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" />
136: Muhsin Khan: O you who believe! Believe in Allah, and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and the Book (the Quran) which He has sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him), and whosoever disbelieves in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away.
- Believing in the books entail previous books related to messengers. Including in those books mentioned in Quran. Book of Ibrahim and Musa. 17:55
- 
18: Muhsin Khan: Verily! This is in the former Scriptures,
- 19: Muhsin Khan: The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses) ( ).
Surah 17:55
55: Muhsin Khan: And your Lord knows best all who are in the heavens and the earth. And indeed, We have preferred some of the Prophets above others, and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms).
Surah 5 verse 44
44: Muhsin Khan: Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah's Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah's Laws).
27: Muhsin Khan: Then, We sent after them, Our Messengers, and We sent 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). Surah 57:27
- There are many other books of an unknown number and with unknown names. Surah 3:184
- 184: Muhsin Khan: Then if they reject you (O Muhammad SAW), so were Messengers rejected before you, who came with Al-Baiyinat (clear signs, proofs, evidences) and the Scripture and the Book of Enlightenment
163: Muhsin Khan: Verily, We have inspired you (O Muhammad SAW) as We inspired Nuh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) inspired Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and AlAsbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], 'Iesa (Jesus), Ayub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron), and Sulaiman (Solomon), and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms). Surah 4: 163
- Surah 2:136
-
136: Muhsin Khan: Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."
- Believing in Quran as last revelation and believing the wahy (revelation
- All of the books are Allah’s words. This entails that Allah
What is your position regarding the books remaining today (Tawrah and Injeel)?
- Originally we believe Torah was revealed to Musa. Allah wrote them with his own hands. Many Jews say original Torah was lost. When Musa got angry he threw tablets he destroyed them after he saw worshipping calf. But as Muslims we believe that he picked them later. After all Allah saved them and they represented God .
- Original Injeel was sent to Jesus. We don’t have today Injeel of Jesus. What we have today collection of the books describing the lives of Jesus by later people.
- We believe books have been changes and are not original form Surah 2:75
75: Muhsin Khan: Do you (faithful believers) covet that they will believe in your religion inspite of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah [the Taurat (Torah)], then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it?
- Surah 5:14-15
14: Muhsin Khan: And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection (when they discarded Allah's Book, disobeyed Allah's Messengers and His Orders and transgressed beyond bounds in Allah's disobedience), and Allah will inform them of what they used to do.
15: Muhsin Khan: O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad SAW) explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over (i.e. leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light (Prophet Muhammad SAW ) and a plain Book (this Quran).
- Verses clearly say they changed.
- We believe that they were in original form to the messengers. But the copies that exist today are not original form.
- Ibne Hazm have an extreme opinion there is not a single word of god exist in today’s previous scriptures. He doesn’t have any respect.
- On the other hand there is another group they are described as Ahlul Hadith. They said there is nothing in changes in the words of Allah. They believe it’s the exact same. The only change is in translation or change of meaning. The original form exist but the word of God exist. So many scholars disagree with this opinion.
-
- If you read them definitely see so many passages word
- Bukhari was attacked by Ahlul-Hadeeth. Muhammad sal Allahu alayih wa sallam had pillow below the thigh but he asked the torarh to brought. When they brought he put the pillow and put the torah on top of it.
- Ibne Qayyam said “The torah still may contain some of that what was revaled from Allah. Much of it in has changed. There are several kinds of tahreef in Torah.
(a) part of torah was lost
(b) incorrect translation
(c) misinterpreted meaning
(d) phrases were substituted
(e) parts were added
Translation has a lot to do with understanding. Translations have a lot to do with meaning and culture. Ibne Taymayyah has a strange opinion. According to him there is always an original copy of Torah and injeel that exist somewhere in the earth. There is no proof for that.
- We also know that Allah didn’t promise that those (previous) books will be saved. However, for this Ummah He will save his last book. Allah saved from Injeel and Torah to make point clear that the message from Quran is true message. It’s a lesson for Muslims to save through what happened before.
- He saved the books from this Ummah. Through companions, people who are huffadh. Allah honored and loved it. Higher than anyother nation in the history.
- Because they didn’t sell the book, they kept generation after generation.
- Very rare to find someone who memorized any scripture like before. Millions of Muslims do.
- Story: Umm saad. She is one of the rare scholars who died last year. She had the biggest circle of Ummah. Least amount of ijazah. Biography link missing….

- One man said to Caliph I’ve made 5000 fabricated hadith. He was trying to make a deal. The caliph responded our scholars can point out the mistakes.
- Once Umar was reading from the previous scripture. Prophet sal Allahu said to Umar “Do you have doubt about what I taught you, O son of Al-Khattabb? By the One who has my soul in His hand, I brought the religion to you clear and pure, and if my brother Moosa were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me. (Narrated in Ahmed).
- The reason is that it was beginning of revelation and not legislation So prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam wanted the message to reach pure. That’s the understanding for us now to look through pure first and then after you’ve understanding then you can move to other sources.
- Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said narrate the stories if you find stories affirming belief if they are against it reject it. If it is not mentioned, then don't believe it or disbelieve it, but don't make it into a belief.
- For example it is stated that one of the signs of day of judgment that prophet soloman locked the jinns and put in container. These info has been taken from people before Islam. We don’t deny it we don’t take everything out of it. We just narrate it as stories.
- We don’t take legislation from the rules from previous nations. That’s one method. These books were sent to their messengers.
- All of Allah’s Book follow these common guidelines.
- Best surah in the Quran Al faitha.
- Best verse in the Quran Ayat ul Kursi
- Quran was revealed in pure Arabic language to prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
- So many words you will find non Arabic word. Ibrahim, Kifl, lulu. How can we say its in Arabic? Answer: These words can’t be change for instance names. Mr Jumma can’t be call Mr. Friday.
- Secondly, the other words which are non-Arabic word they are very few. They were so common among Arabs that they become part of Arabic. For instance English is made of how many languages French, Latin, many influence. Some words in Arabic were driven from other language. Until they become part of the language itself. One word Kifl which is from Abyssenia. Every language in the world has these characterstics.
- The language of Quresh has superiority over all other tribes. All Arab tribes come to Arab for Hajj. Quresh had control the hajj arrangement. So Arab came across all dialect. They came across all dialects and so thus their language became the dominant one. It (revelation) was according to the dialect of Quresh.
- This was sent to Muhammad Ibne Abdullah.
- The Qur'an has been given different names and descriptions. In Arabic if something has many names, it means it is very important. The Qur'an gave many names to Allah, the Prophet, the Last Day, and other important things. Surah Al-Fatihah has so many names because of its importance.
- 70 names for sword, same for dog. Need clarification…missing…
- Same thing with the Quran. SO many names to Quran itself, to Allah, to prophet day of judgment, Surah Faitiah (Some scholar say 60 diff names).
- For example Allah says Al Furqan, Al-Quran, Ad-Dhikr, Pure, mercy, guidance, proof, light, soul, life. Without this book you are dead. Each name has its meaning.
- There was one hadith shaykh mentioned he didn’t understand until he came to = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America. What was the point of hadith. Aisha said A man came to prophet I read Qulhu walla ahad (Surah Ikhlaas). I love this surah. Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam told Allah loves you because you love this surah.
- At least be like that companion. How much do you remember these surahs.
- You can recite Surat ul fatiha while driving. Or other surahs in different times.
- If Allah has given you tawfeeq to memorize some surah. Then at least invest in it what you’ve in your hand. Make a strong relationship with Quran and build on it.
- It’s a dual responsibility who know the language (Arabic). It’s a naimah that they will be questioned about it.
- This book was sent to guide us in all areas. And how we treat this book.
- The Qur'an covers all of the teachings of the previous books
- Surah 5:48
-
48: Muhsin Khan: And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Quran) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Mohayminan (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures). So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.
- The Qur'an will also be safeguarded by Allah (swt):Surah 15:9
-
9: Muhsin Khan: Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption).
- Shortly before the end of time, the Qur'an will disappear. Anyone who had a verse memorized will forget it, and the books will have empty pages. At this time only the disbelievers will exist on earth.
- Imagine if you invite a dignatory person and you don’t give them respect they will leave. So if you don’t pay attention to the quran it will leave you. The Quran is Aziz. Someone who doesn’t have respect will not retain it. It will never settle in the heart. There main love songs worldly matters. On the top of priorities.
- Prophets said in a hadith that “So many of the hypocrites will be amongst the Quraa (those who claimed memorized the Quran)”. Because they memorized the quran but not act upon them. Quran will be a curse against them.
- It all abrogated all shariah and will remain till the end of judgment. It an eternal miracle. Since the time of Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam no one has brought a verse similar to it.
Believing in Quran has 2 Levels:
1.First level is rukn of eeman and leaving it is Kufr. It includes beliving that the quran is the word of Allah, was revealed to Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam it is the last revealation, it was delivered to us completely, it is protected from addition and subtratction, it is a source of legislation etc.
- Some extreme shias say Quran has been modified.
- Some worse Ghuraabiyaa. They still exist some in Kuwait and Iraq. Need clarification for these points missing…
- As message from Al-Furqan in Arabic language a refuted. The plot fell apart. Since Muhammad and today no one was able to produce a single verse.
- If someone believes that revelation continues it contradicts the belief.
2. Second Level: includes obligations and recommendations. Leaving them is not considered Kufr. It includes applying all its rules, reading it, memorizing it, understanding it, etc. Remember the hadith that those who struggle to read it have double reward, and the ahadith that those who memorize it are at a high level.
Shi`ah - Some of those that came before believed that the Qur'an has been changed but that is incorrect because we know that Allah (swt)'s protected it. Their modern scholars do not agree with this opinion.
??? - they think that Ali (rA) was supposed to get the revelation but Jibril (as) made a mistake.
We should use modern technology to get closer to the Qur'an. Use MP3 players to listen when doing work, when driving, etc. We should have a tafseer in our house and read it to understand the Qur'an.
Stages of Qur’an:
1) First written down in the sacred Tablet before creation of earth, etc.
2) Revealed in Bait al-Uzza (House of Power/Honor) in first sky—Allah revealed the whole entire Qur’an to this place
-Ibn Abbas said this in alBayhaqi
3) Allah revealed the Qur’an over a span of 23 years to Muhammad (saws)
- From language perspective: Someone who (prophet) is illiterate.
- He lives in an isolated area
- He never said poetry.
- The structure of the Qur'an does not fit any other structure known, not like stories or poetry.Its not story its so unique.
- That’s why its impossible to have a copy of Quran in any other language. This is something beyond Human capability.
- This is why Allah challenges to put together similar to Quran
- Even Hijr verse 94.
94: Muhsin Khan: Therefore proclaim openly (Allah's Message Islamic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers, etc. - see V.2:105).
- I prostrate myself because of the language of Quran. Info missing…
- So many times verses were so powerful they (disbelievers prostrated). Imagine the power in those meaning.
- For instance surah Al Qasas 28 verse 7. One verse has two orders and two things to do two things not to do. Two glad tiding and two info.
7: Muhsin Khan: And We inspired the mother of Musa (Moses), (saying): "Suckle him [Musa (Moses)], but when you fear for him, then cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve. Verily! We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of (Our) Messenger.
- In above verse there are two things to do, two things not to do, two glad tidings, and two pieces of information.
-
QURANIC SCIENCE AND MEANING
- Knowledge of Quran and this sharia is beyond human capability.
- When you see look at the manners teaching structure of society that quran teaches. The way people deal with each other. All when you put them together you will realize that its impossible to put them together in perfect logic in1400 years
- So many propheicies came true. Persians will be defeated refer to Surah Rum.
- Abu Lahab will die as kaafir.
- Surat ul Qamar revealed in Makkah. Muslim will fight in disbeliever and will defeat.
- Descriptions of unknown matters such as about previous nations that Muhammad had no way of knowing. First prophet didn’t speak their language there was no communication.
- In makkah there were no Monks or jews
- Nowadays SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE OF QURAN such as
- Womb of the mother
- Salty and sweet water separation
- Freedom from contradiction in these verses of the Quran. It was revealed in 23 years. He (prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) will forget what he said 23 years. This is from Allah there is no contradiction in it not from Muhammad. he Qur'an was revealed in different ways, in Qiraa'aat and Ahruf. None of them contradicted.That’s also raise the possibility of raising contradiction. As Allah says 4:82
82: Muhsin Khan: Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions.
- It has effect on souls. When Jinn you reached. No matter how many times you read the surah Fatiha. It touches your heart.
Story: About neighbor of sheikh he gave surah yusuf to listen to while he was sick. His wife told that this man (non-Muslim) loved listening to the recitation.
- Surah toor my heart got out of my chest (??? Who said)
- Sheikh came across a book which has stories of people converting to Islam by only listening to the recitations.
Al Quran was revealed in three stages
- Created first in tabled Luhil Mehfooz.
- Then again bayatul Uzza is a house (whole Quran was revealed in it as said by Ibne Abbas). which is equal. Its in the first sky.
- Third stage Allah revealed the Quran to Muahmmad in 23 years.
Q&A?
Quran reading has more reward. ALM is each hasanat. Each letter multiply by 10.
Harf in saying 7 ways. One meaning was revealed in missing…
Prophet said every animal is halal in the sea.
Quran was revealed for both Jinn and humans both?
Yes. Once prophet was invited to give dawah to Jinns. He recited Surah Rahman.
On prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam return from At-Ta’if when a group of Jinns heard the Quran they ran back to their tribe from Yemen. They heard a message similar to Musa.
Its okay to say Holy Quran.
Q/A
- It was mentioned Qur'an was revealed all at once. How is this the case?
The Qur'an was revealed in three stages. The first stage was that the Qur'an was revealed entirely to the safe tablets (Lawhul Mahfooz) before creation. Then it was revealed entirely to the a place in the first heaven called bayt al-'uzza in a written format. This place is equivalent to the bayt al-ma'moor in the seventh heaven, or the ka'bah on earth. Then the last stage it was revealed to the Prophet (S) verbally through Jibreel over 23 years.
- Can you listen to the Qur'an while doing other things?
It cannot be treated as a musical background, you can only listen to it if you pay attention to it.
- What is more rewarding? Listening or reading?
Reading of course. Each letter has ten rewards for reading.
- Is listening to Surah Kahf on Friday the same as reading?
No, the hadith specifically refers to reading. But listening is good also, especially if you can't read it.
- How do you respond to someone who says Qur'an is like any other book, that it claims if you don't follow it you go to hellfire just like other books.
The person has to investigate it and examine if what the Qur'an is calling to is true, or for other religions. This is why Allah gave us minds and hearts, signs and books. We don't claim this, we prove it.
- What about those who claim that some animals from the sea are makrooh because they were forbidden in previous books?
This is the wrong methodology and not accepted by Alh As-Sunnah. All seafood is allowed to eat.
- Was Qur'an revealed for both humans and jinn?
Yes, it was. The Prophet (S) recited Qur'an and jinn were listening.
- Is it correct to say the "Holy" Qur'an?
There is nothing wrong with it, as it is holy.
- Will those who recite without thinking of the meaning get rewarded?
Yes, they will get rewarded for the reciting, but not the reward of understanding and contemplating.
