Allaah descending last third of the night.
Posted Dec 24, 2010 by Aboo Thaabit with 2 Comments
And some deceived “intellectuals” say, this subjects Allaah to always being descending to the heavens because the last third of the night is always present in different parts of the world.
We say: How ignorant you are of Allaah and His attributes! Do you think this matter that you mention was hidden from Allaah when He informed His Prophet? If these people answer Yes (we think that knowledge of this matter was indeed hidden from Allaah) then they become disbelievers and there is no need to debate with them whatsoever.
However if they answer of course (Allaah indeed knows everything!) Then we tell them, we believe in the textual evidence the way it reached us. And we do not subject Allaah to the rules of nature (since He is the creator of these rules) rather we believe in the hadiths that reach us and we do not make things difficult upon ourselves, forcing us to deny that which is established (by Allaah and His Messenger).

Three Categories of Tawheed.
Posted Nov 18, 2010 by Aboo Thaabit with 2 Comments
As Muslims we know that Tawheed is divided into three categories, Tawheed ar-Rubobiyyah, Tawheed al-Ulohiyyah and Tawheed al-Asmaa wa Sifaat.
However some people argue that these categories of Tawheed are something new. And in their opinion only Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab invented these categories. But these people do not realise that even the Salaf used to divide Tawheed into these three categories.
The books of the pious predecessors are filled with references to these different categories of Tawheed. And if I were to bring all their statements, this book would become very lengthy indeed! But sufficient for me is what some of our pious predecessors have said regarding the categories of Tawheed. And this will show that Tawheed is indeed divided into three categories and I will only quote scholars who lived before Ibn Taymiyyah, regardless of math-hab.
1. Imaam Aboo Haneefah [death 150 AH] mentions this in his book al-Fiqh al-Absat.
2. al-Haafidh ibn Munduh [death 395 AH] mentions this in his book at-Tawheed.
3. Ibn Jareer at-Tabari (the famous Mufasir) [death 310 AH] mentions it in his famous tafsir. (Surah Muhammad verse 19)
4. Imaam at-Tahaawi [death 321 AH] mentions it in his book al-Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah.
5. Aboo Muhammad al-Marta-ish an-Naysaabooriyy [death 328 AH] is qouted by Aboo Nuaym in his Hilyah, saying Tawheed is divided into three categories.
6. Aboo Haatim al-Bustee [death 354 AH] mentions it in his book Rawdhatul ‘Uqalaa wa Nuzhatul Fudhalaa.
7. Ibn Abee Zayd al-Qayrawaanee al-Maaliki [death 386 AH] mentions it in his book ar-Risaalah.
8. Imaam Ibn Battah al-Hanbali [death 387 AH] mentions it in his book al-Ibaanah.
9. Aboo Bakr al-Dardooshee al-Maaliki [death 520 AH] mentions it in his book Siraaj al-Muluuk.
10. Aboo ‘Abdillaah al-Qortobee al-Maaliki [death 671 AH] (the famous Mufasir) mentions it in his famous tafseer

The Platinum card of akhirah

عَنْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُخَلِّصُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَنْشُرُ عَلَيْهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ سِجِلًّا كُلُّ سِجِلٍّ مِثْلُ مَدِّالْبَصَرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَتُنْكِرُ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا؟ أَظَلَمَكَ كَتَبَتِي الْحَافِظُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ: أَفَلَكَ عُذْرٌ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لا يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى إِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَنَا حَسَنَةً فَإِنَّهُ لا ظُلْمَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ، فَتَخْرُجُ بِطَاقَةٌ فِيهَا: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيَقُولُ: احْضُرْ وَزْنَكَ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذِهِ الْبِطَاقَةُ مَعَ هَذِهِ السِّجِلاتِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ لاتُظْلَمُ” قَالَ:فَتُوضَعُ السِّجِلاتُ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَالْبِطَاقَةُ فِي كِفَّةٍ فَطَاشَتِ السِّجِلاتُ وَثَقُلَتِ الْبِطَاقَةُ فَلا يَثْقُلُ مَعَ اسْمِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ.
أخرجه ابن ماجه (2/1437 رقم 4300) ، والحاكم
(1/710 ، رقم 1937) وقال : صحيح الإسناد. وأخرجه أيضًا : الترمذى (5/24 ، رقم
2639) وصححه الألباني في التعليق الرغيب ( 2 / 240 – 241 ). قال الإمام الألباني
(في “السلسلة الصحيحة” (1/ (212
The Messenger of Allaah صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
“A person from my Ummah will be summoned in the presence of all creatures on the Day of Judgement. Ninety-nine scrolls (of his deeds) would be unfolded, each extending as far as the range of the vision can stretch, then he would be asked: ‘Do you deny any of these deeds? Did My preserving scribes wrong you?’ He will reply ‘No my Lord’, It will be said to him: ‘Do you have any excuse or any good deed?’ He will say: ‘No my Lord’ It will be said to him: ‘Yes you have some good deeds. No iniquity will befall you.’
A card will then be shown to him, on it will be written: ‘There is none worthy of worship besides Allaah and Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.’ And the scales are brought. He will say: ‘O Allaah! This (one) card alongside these scrolls.’ It will be said to him: ‘No injustice shall befall you.’ The (ninety-nine) scrolls will then be placed in one pan of the scale and the card on the other. The card will then outweigh the records. there is nothing that outweighs the name of Allaah” [At-Tirmidhi and Al-Haakim amongst others]
