The Christians Also Asked This Question
That If Jesus Is The Word Of Allah And Allah Says This In The Quran,
Then Why Are We Being Condemned For Worshiping The Word Of God
Which Is Eternal, Which Is Jesus..
So, You Guys Also Believe In The Quran, Which Is The Word Of God?
You Want To Make An Clarification?
The Other Brother Is Gone. That's Okay. Just Clarify.. [Yeah, Quick Clarification]
Because What Happened? There Is A Bit Confusing That, Amongst Muslims About,
That'S Why, We Generally Advise The Brothers And
Sisters To Learn.... The Aqidah (Creed). They Have To Learn, They Have To Understand
What Is The Aqidah Of The Muslim. And One Of The Important Things;
People Get Confused Is That The Attribute Of Allah Azzawajal
And The Difference Between The Essence And Attributes Of
Allah Azzawajal, And The Action Attributes Of Allah Azzawajal.
So, So The Scholars Of Islam They Divided:
.....In Two Main Categories.
One Of Them Is That Essence / Attributes Of Allah Azzawajal, For Example,
Like His Face.. Like For Example As
... His Fingers And So On So Forth,
Or His Shin ( Literal Meaning Itself) As Described In The Quran And Sunnah And As Well,
The Action Attribute To Allah Which Means Things
Which Is Related To His Will. When He Wills To Do It.
He Will Do It And If He Wills Not To Do, It Will Not Be Done.
So Those Are Considered To Be An Action Attribute Of Allah Azzawajal
And Some Of Them Are Under Conditions, For Example,
Conditional Action Attribute Of Allah (Swt), Example, Like
Allah'S Anger, You Know, Like Allah'S Mercy And So On So Forth.
Yeah, So That'S What We Need To Learn This And I Advise My
Brothers And Sisters With This, And That'S Why, There Are Many Of The Brothers
Might Get Confused Like The Guy Who Was Talking
Before. That'S One Thing. The Other Thing As Well;
He Was Talking About, You Know, When Allah Has
Revealed Himself To The Mountain. And I Believe, It'S Important
For Us To Clarify That The Prophet (Saw), He Said In A Hadith,
And An Authentic Hadith That The The Prophet (Saw), He Said That
Allah Azzawajal Has A Veil.
His Veil Is Light. His Veil Is Made Of Light Or Created By Light.
If Allah Has Exposed This Veil Then Everything Will Be Burned.
Whatever Allah Will See Will Be Burned.
So, Allah Azzawajal, That'S Kind Of.. We Called It Tajalli (Divine Self-Manifestation)
So, In The In The Story Of Musa Alehsalaam
And Allah Says....
Meaning..Even Small Part Of The Veil Of Allah
Was Exposed... Small Part Of The Veil And That'S
Caused A Mountain To Be Destroyed, Subhanallah.
So, That'S Why, It Is Important As Well To Go Back And That'S
The General Advice: Go Back And Study Islam Through The Good Sources.
Alhamdulillah, We Have A Lot Of Scholars Who Wrote Books About The Aqidah
And Who Wrote Books About The Tafsir Of The Quran.
Read These Books Which Is Important For Us To Learn
And To Understand The Quran. In The According To The
Quran And The Sunnah Of The Prophet (Saw).
We Ask Allah To Teach Us Whatever Benefits Us, And We Ask Allah
To Make Us Among Those Who Implement What We Learn,
And To Convey The Message Of Islam To Everyone.
And I Also Wanted To Clarify Because I Think,
The Christians Also Ask This Question That If Jesus Is The Word Of Allah
And Allah Says This In The Quran, Then Why Are We Being Condemned
For Worshipping The Word Of God, Which Is Eternal, Which Is
Jesus. So You Guys Also Believe In The Quran Which Is The Word Of God.
But What They Do Not Distinguish Or Do Not Differentiate
Is The Fact, That The Quran Is Is An Expression Of Allah.
Yes, But The Quran Is Not Something Which Has His Own Mind
Or It Has Its Own Will, For Example, Both Of Which Was True
In The Case Of Jesus Christ.
Yes?
He Had Obviously His Own Mind And His Will And He Was Someone
Who Is Separate From God Almighty In The Sense That The Father
Is Different From The Son.
So, We Need To Distinguish This. The Christians Normally Ask This Question.
Why Do You Condemn Us For Worshiping And Saying That We Are
Committing Shirk, When You Guys Are Doing The Same Thing With
The Quran? We Do Not Believe The Quran Is Something To Be
Worshipped. The Qur'An Is The Speech Of Allah.
We Do Not Worship The Quran.
Yes, But The Christians They Do
Worship Jesus Peace Be Upon Him. So, A Very Clear Distinction Between Who Allah
Is, What His Essence Are, Which Essence Of His Are Eternal And
Which Essence Of His, He Wills It To Happen Or Manifest Those
Essence In Time As Temporal, Like When Allah Wishes For
His Mercy To Descend On Earth Or On A Particular Person,
Yes, He Wills It And This Happens In Time Obviously.
So, We Need To Clearly Distinguish Between What Is It
Eternal In Terms Of Essences And What Is Temporal In Terms
Of His Manifestation Of Those Essence.
Exactly, That'S Why, The Quran For Example, It Is The Speech Of Allah.
The Quran Is From The Knowledge Of Allah.
So For Those Who Say That The Quran Is The Creation Of Allah,
We Respond To Them And That'S Why For Example,
Those, One Of The Things That Mutazilites / Heresies, As Well, Part Of
The Big Portion Of The Zaydi And Others Who Believes Initially
That The Quran Is The Creation Of Allah. They Say Allah Created The Quran.
Becasue They Don'T Want To Accept Allah
Is Able To Speak.
They Said If You Say Allah Speaks, That Means You Are Accusing
Allah, You Are Imitating Allah To His Creation,
And We Said We Describe Allah As Whatever In The Quran
And The Sunnah. Allah Has Mentioned, Allah Says In The Quran.
Allah Spoke To Musa Alehsalaam In Speech.
So, Allah Emphasized That He Spoke To Musa Alehsalaam And
Musa (A.S) Listened To Allah Azzawajal.
He Heard Allah Azzawajal.
So That Shows Allah Speaks Whenever He Wishes,
Yeah, So Those Who Accuse .....
They Said If You Say, Allah Azzawajal, You Cannot Describe
Allah With His Speech. Whatever Allah Produces Is A Creation Of Allah.
They Accused Allah Azzawajal Being Ignorant, How? By Saying
If The Quran Is The Creation Of Allah Azzawajal And The Quran
Is Attached To Allah'S Knowledge, And Everyone Agrees That
The Speech Of The Person Or The Speech Is Generally Attached To
The Speaker, Attached To The Knowledge Of The Speaker.
So, When Allah Speaks
Yeah, When They Say, This Is The Speech Of Allah And Then
And This Is The Creation Of Allah...
That Means The Knowledge Of Allah Is A Creation As Well;
Meaning That Allah;
That'S How They Describe, That Means Allah Before, He Was Ignorant.
He Wasn'T Knowledgeable.
Then He Created His Knowledge.
Then He Became Knowledgeable Then He Spoke Or He Produced
This And That'S Totally Heretic.
That'S Totally Against Islam. Allah Was Always Knowledgeable
And Will Be Always Knowledgeable...
He Is All-Knowing; Al-Aleem, Al-Hakim, All Of These Things;
That The All-Knowing, The All-Knowing, Those Words Are Describing
Allah With This Description That ...
He Knows Everything.
Yeah, But When He (Allah) Manifested, As The Brother Hashim Mentioned,
When He Manifested His Speech In The Quran That It Has A Starting Point.
That'S Why We Didn'T Say... We Said, Of Course The Quran Was
The Word Of Allah ,As We Said, It'S ..... Eternal
But When It Is Manifested, It Is Temporal As The Brother Has Mentioned.
And Also It'S Kind Of Incorrect To Compare The
Speech With The Essence.
For Example, If I Said To You That Your Speech Is Greater
Than You, Doesn'T Make Sense.
No, It Doesn'T. So, We Compare Speech To Speech And Essence
Or A Person To Another Person,
It Would Be Illogical To Compare.
So, Anyone Who Says That The The Word Of Allah, Which Is The
Quran Is Allah In The Sense That The Christians They Believe
That The Word Of God Is God In The Sense Of Jesus Christ.
So, They Are Making A False Equivalence And
Incorrect Or Illogical Comparisons.
So Let'S Distinguish Between The Essence And The Attribute;
Is Very Very Important, The Actions As Well.
The Manifestation Of That Essence In Time, Which Is
Action Attributes That Also We Should Distinguish.
May Allah Reward You... As-Salamu Alaykum
