240215 - I'llah Ayn Yasha'Allah, and remember your Rabb ...

As'salaam u'Alykum. On you be peace, from the source of peace.

👋

[6:19]

Say: "Which is the greatest testimony?"

Say: "Allah is witness between me and you, and He has inspired to me this Qur'an that I may warn you with it and whoever it reaches, that you are bearing witness that with Allah are other gods!"

Say: "I do not bear witness!" Say: "He is only One god, and I am innocent of what you have set up!"

[31:34]

With Allah is the knowledge regarding the Hour.

And He sends down the rain,

and He knows what is inside the wombs.

No soul knows what it may gain tomorrow,

nor does any soul know in which land it will die .

God is Knowledgeable, Expert.

[2:224]

And do not make Allah the subject of your casual oaths.

Be pious and righteous and reconcile among the people;

and Allah is Hearer, Knower.

[2:225]

Allah will not call you to account for your casual oaths,

but He will call you to account for what has entered your hearts.

Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

[5:89]

Allah will not hold you for your casual oaths,

but He will hold you for what oaths you have made binding;

its cancellation shall be

• the feeding of ten poor from the average of what you feed your family, or

• that you clothe them, or

• that you free a slave;

whoever cannot find such shall fast for three days;

this is a cancellation for making your oaths when you swear.

And be careful from making oaths.

It is such that Allah clarifies for you His revelations that you may be thankful.

[18:24]

I'llah Ayn Yasha'Allah

and remember your Rabb ...

if you forget and say: "Perhaps my Rabb will guide me to what is nearer than this in wisdom."

[2:67]

And Moses said to his people:

"Allah orders you to slaughter a heifer."

They said: "Do you mock us?"

He said: "I seek refuge with Allah that I not be of the ignorant ones."

[2:68]

They said:

"Call upon your Lord for us that He may clarify which it is."

He said: "He says it is a heifer neither too old nor too young, an age between that.

... So now do as you are commanded."

[2:69]

They said: "Call upon your Rabb for us that He may clarify what color it is."

He said: "He says it is a yellow heifer with a strong color, pleasing to those who see it."

[2:70]

They said: "Call upon your Rabb for us that He may clarify which one it is, for the heifers all look alike to us and we will, Insha'Allah, be guided."

[2:71]

He said: "He says it is a heifer which was never subjugated to plough the land, or water the crops, without any patch."

They said: "Now you have come with the truth."

And they slaughtered it, though they had nearly not done so.

[42:29]

And from among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth

and the creatures He spreads in them.

And He is able to gather them

Idha Yasha'Allah

• when He wills

[57:29]

So that the followers of the Book should know that they have no power over the grace of Allah, and that all grace is in the hand of God.

He bestows it upon whoever He wills. Allah is Possessor of Infinite Grace.

Discussion

Ayn Yasha'Allah

• Will definitely happen ...

Insha'Allah

• It may happen
• It's open ended

Law shaaa 'Allah

• Had Allah willed

• if Allah had willed

  • Allah has willed that it will not happen

Liman'sha?

• For whom willed

Ayn Yasha'Allah, the idea that something will definitely happen... due to Allah

[76:29]

This is a reminder, so let whoever wills take a path to his Lord.

[76:30]

And you cannot will unless God wills. God is Knowledgeable, Wise.

[76:31]

He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And as for the wicked, He has prepared for them a painful retribution.

[81:26]

So where will you go?

[81:27]

It is but a reminder for the worlds.

[81:28]

For whoever of you wishes to go straight.

[81:29]

And you cannot will anything except if it is also willed by Allah, Rabb of the worlds.

Discussion continued on ... the permission of Allah

[10:100]

And it is not for a soul to believe except with the permission of God. And He lets foulness be upon those who do not use reason.

Except by God's permission

If God wills

[6:111]

And if We had sent down to them the angels, and the dead spoke to them, and We had gathered before them everything, they still would not believe except if God wills. Alas, most of them are ignorant.

We could have

[32:13]

And if We had wished, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the sentence from Me has taken effect, that I will fill Hell with the Jinn and people all together.

If We wish

[25:50]

And We have dispatched it among them so that they may remember, but most of the people refuse to be anything but rejecters.

[25:51]

And if We wish, We could send to every town a warner.

Discussion continued on ... Allah guides

[92:12]

For guidance is up to Us.

and

[17:15]

Whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever is misguided is for his own loss. And no bearer may carry the burden of another; and We were not to punish until We send a messenger.

[35:24]

We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner. There was not a nation that a warner did not come to it.

Every nation is warned.

Plus,

[7:172]

And your Lord took for the children of Adam from their backs, their progeny; and He made them witness over themselves: "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes, we bear witness." Thus you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection that you were unaware of this.

[7:173]

Nor can you say: "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?"

and those in the fire will say

[35:37]

And they will scream in it: "Our Lord, let us out, and we will work righteousness instead of the works we used to do." Did We not give you a long life so that he who would remember would take heed, and a warner came to you? Therefore, taste, for the transgressors will have no supporter.
