By Sh Ali Ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Huthaifi - 02 Muharram 1434

Thanks be to Allah the Exalted and the Merciful. He created all creatures and managed their affairs through His power, knowledge, and mercy. He is the One and the Conqueror. I praise my Lord and thank Him. I repent to Him and seek His forgiveness, and I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah Who has no partner. To Him belongs the Dominion and He is the Sovereign, the Compeller Who alternates the night and the day. Truly, in this is a lesson for those who have vision. And I bear witness that our Prophet and master Muhammad is His servant and chosen messenger may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his household and virtuous companions.

O Believers!
Fear Allah and obey Him, for the fear of Allah is the real protection from His punishment and is the only way to win His paradise. Do not be among those who forget that they will meet Allah and therefore lose both this world and the Hereafter.

Worshippers of Allah!

You should know that no one who obeyed Allah ever felt miserable and no one who disobeyed Him ever felt happy. Allah the Almighty says, 'And whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, fears Allâh, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful.' [ An-Nûr: 52]?

He also says, '…and whosoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, then Verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever."' [Al-Jinn: 23]

Fellow Muslims!
Your Lord, holy be His names, is the Most Merciful and All-powerful, Wise and All-knowledgeable; He endowed you with hearing, sight, hearts and organs so that you may thank Him with your worship. Allah, Exalted be He, says,

'And Allâh has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allâh).' [An-Nahl: 78]

It is out of His Mercy that He provided worshippers with cosmic signs and created those finely constituted creatures so that man would know His Lord, Exalted be He, and get closer to Him through adhering to His commands and avoiding His prohibitions. read more

Ml Muhammad Karolia, in this series, intended discussing the Aqeeda of a Muslim i.e. Belief of a Muslim, undoubtedly a critical lesson for all. Moulana highlighted various pertinent topics which were aimed at distinguishing the Correct beliefs from the incorrect beliefs. The most important aspect in any discussion of Belief, is our Lord Allah Ta’aala, the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

In this discussion Moulana further expounded on the Verse of Quran, Laysa Kamithlihi Shay, there’s nothing like Him(Allah Almighty):

Allah Ta’ala’s shape and appearance is beyond our comprehension and ‘Wala Mutasowir’ we cannot ascribe any Surah, any picture or appearance to Allah Ta’ala.
We cannot attribute any limits to Allah Ta’ala nor can we ‘Wala Ma’dud’ attempt to speak of how much is Allah or attribute quantity to Allah. Allah is not a number and is uncountable.
Moulana also advised that we should not contemplate or imagine that Allah comprises of different parts… This is part 7, B… Listen
