Only Allāh Deserves To Be Worshipped

 

Imām ‘Abd al-Ramān ibn Nāṣir al-Sa’dī said:

“If He alone is the Creator, Inventor of all things, and Bestower of forms, possessing no partner in any of these actions, then He is the only  deity worshipped in truth. There is none  besides Him deserving of any form of worship. For He is the creator of the essences, actions and attributes of His creation. He guides  whom He wills and sends astray whom He wills. He allows the believer to believe and the disbeliever to disbelieve, without forcing or compelling His servants to engage in that which is undesirable to them."

Why We Fear and Hope in Allāh

 


Imām ʿAbd al-Ramān ibn Nāir al-Saʿdī  رَحِمَهُ اللهُ:

The true believer must allow  fear and hope to  consistently accompany him in all his affairs. This is because he possesses two outlooks.  When he looks  inwardly, he sees his own deficiency in the fulfilment of Allāhs rights. This instils fear. Then, his second outlook is towards the blessings of Allāh upon him,  and the goodness He has shown. This instils hope within him.

ām ʿAbdur-Ramān As-Saʿdī رحمه الله said:

The slave who knows that he will be questioned about what he says and does and about what he uses his limbs that Allāh has created to worship Him for, should prepare an answer to the questioning, and this can only be done by using them in worshipping Allāh, purifying the religion for Him (alone), and abstaining from what Allāh, the Most High, dislikes.

Allah is Oft-Forgiving Full of Love



Allah the Exalted said:

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ 

And He is Oft-Forgiving, Full of love (Soorah Al Burûj 85:14)

Imam as-Sa’di said: The subtly for “Full of love” being coupled with “Oft-Forgiving” is to show the sinners if they repent to Allah, He will forgive them of their sins and He will love them. Those who say the repentant sinners are forgiven but the love does not return to them are incorrect.

The Virtues of Giving in Charity: Its blessing and it being a means for an increase in sustenance

 

-----

Allaah, The Most High said:

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

Say; indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and limits [in measure] for him, and whatever thing you spend [in His cause] – He will replace it; and He is the Best of providers. (As-Saba: 39)

Shaikh Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sadee (rahimahullaah) said in his tafseer of this aayah: Whatever you spend from any expense which is obligatory or recommended; whether upon someone close or a neighbour or a destitute person or upon an orphan or other than that; then He, The Most High will follow it up (replace it). So do not be under the delusion that donating in expense is that which decreases the sustenance, rather it is a promise of having it followed up for the one who spends…

Allaah, The Most High said:

((Take Sadaqah [an obligatory charity] from their wealth by which you will purify them and cleanse them.)) (At-Tawbah: 103)

Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’dee (rahimahullaah) said:Meaning: it will purify them from sins and lowly mannerisms, and ‘cleanse them’ meaning: expand them and give an increase in their good mannerisms and their righteous actions and will give an increase in their reward in the life of this world as well as in the Hereafter and will expand their wealth.”[3]

What is a pure heart? (قلب سليم)

 


What is a pure heart? 

It is a heart which is free of Shirk (polytheism) and free of doubts. It is a heart which is free of malice, rancorous envy, stinginess, and arrogance. It is a heart which does not love evil, and a heart which is content with the Sunnah and free of bid’ah (innovations in the religion).

[Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Al-Jawāb al-Kāfī and  Tafseer As-S’adī]

Translation: Markaz Mu’aadh Bin Jabal


----------------------------------------

The Importance of Purity of the Heart

Al-āfi Ibn Rajab [d. 795 AH] said:

So if his heart is pure, containing nought but the love of Allāh and love for that which is beloved to Allāh, [and he possesses] knowledgeable fear of Allāh and fear of falling into that which He detests, [he will find] himself engaging in righteous deeds only.

How do you know if your heart is sound or sick...

 


The illustrious scholar, Shaykh ‘Abdu Rahmân ibn Nâsir As-Sa’dee (d.1367H) رحمه الله stated,

The sound and upright heart does not desire nor incline , except towards goodness, or towards that which Allaah has made permissible for him. So when you see the heart inclining towards disobedience, quick to submit to it (i.e. sins) then it is sick.

Patience and Awaiting Relief from Difficulties

 

------

Patience and Awaiting Relief from Difficulties 

Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sa’dee said: “And from the benevolence of Allaah towards His servant is: that He tests him with some of the calamities, so He grants him the ability to rise up with the task of exercising patience in them, thus He causes him to attain elevated levels that he would otherwise not have reached with his actions. The tribulation may be intensified upon him with that; as was done with Ayyoob (‘alaihis-salaam), and there is to be found in his heart the sweetness of the essence of hope and expectation of mercy and removal of harm, and so his pain is reduced and his soul is invigorated. Due to this; it is from the benevolence of Allaah towards the believers that he placed in their hearts the anticipation of reward, so that their calamities are lightened, and that which they encounter from hardships is made easier in attainment of His pleasure.”[16]

ShaikhAbdur-Rahmaan As-Sadee (rahimahullaah) said:

Know that sincerity for Allaah is the foundation of the religion and the essence of Tawheed and worship.

It is that the servant intends with his action – in its entirety; The Face of Allaah and His reward and His favour. So he fulfills the six principles of Eemaan as well as the five legislations (pillars) of Islaam, and the realities of Eemaan which is: Al-Ihsaan, as well as the rights of Allaah and the rights of His servants – and so completing (supplementing) them. He intends by way of them The Face of Allaah and the abode of the Hereafter; he does not want to make riyaa (ostentation or showing off in order to be seen or noticed by others) with that, and likewise no sumah (seeking repute through being heard of) and no seeking of leadership, and no worldly effect. So with that his Eemaan and Tawheed are complete.

From the greatest things which negate this is attempting to show off in order to be seen by the people and performing actions in order to secure their praise and their veneration, or performing the action for a worldly effect; this infringes on sincerity and Tawheed...cont.

One of the children of Imām as-Sa’dī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) narrates:

My father, may Allāh have mercy upon him, was once on the roof of the Masjid fixing one of the gutters. A passerby asked: Why, O Shaykh? He replied: Tomorrow we will pray al-Istisqā [the rain prayer].

(This was due to his good thought of Allāh and tawakkul and firmly believing that Allāh would answer their supplication.)

IMAAM AS-SA’DI (رحمه الله)

 

AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE KIND TO ALL PEOPLE WITH THEIR WEALTH AT ALL TIMES, ALLAH HAS ENJOINED KINDNESS THAT ONE MAY DO TO ALL OTHERS, NAMELY KINDNESS IN WORDS. THAT ALSO IMPLIES THAT IT IS PROHIBITED TO SAY BAD WORDS TO PEOPLE, EVEN THE DISBELIEVERS. HENCE ALLAH (تعالى) SAYS:

 

وَلَا تُجَادِلُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ

 

“AND DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE EXCEPT IN A WAY THAT IS BEST..”

Fasting narrows and weakens the activity of Shayṭān who circulates in the body like blood...

 

---

3. Fasting narrows and weakens the activity of Shayān who circulates in the body like blood. [It is said that this similitude is mentioned due to the intricacy of the devil's evil whispers, and its flowing into the victim's heart. (Al-Mihāj Shar ai Muslim:14/157)]. Fasting weakens the devil's activities. In this, the sins of the fasting person are reduced.

From the signs of happiness & misery is that a person:



From the signs of happiness is that a person:

1. Desires good for the Muslims
2. Strives to direct them to guidance
3. Advises them
4. Conceals their faults & does not spread them
5. Does all of this seeking Allah’s Face.

Imām Sa’dī, Unity, p. 28.

From the signs of misery is that a person:

1. Endeavors to spread backbiting & tale-carrying among the people
2. Searches for faults
3. If they hear anything negative they spread it; they may even add commentary
4. They are the most evil of the people before Allah

P. 28-29.
