Aku Tidak Mempunyai Pilihan...

Jika kita membahas tentang cinta kepada Allah dalam sudut pandang tasawuf, nama Rabi’ah al-Adawiyah akan selalu disebut dan dibahas baik oleh sufi generasi sezaman dengan dia maupun generasi setelahnya sampai saat ini. Rabi’ah al-Adawiyah lah yang mempopulerkan istilah “Mahabbah” atau maqam cinta, kondisi dimana seorang benar-benar terserap dalam cinta Ilahi sehingga tidak ada lagi yang di…

Pernah khawatir kalau nanti karirku tidak bagus, maka finansial keluargaku akan terganggu. Padahal Allah yang mengatur rezeki😭

Bisa jadi, keputusanku untuk memperjuangkan karir saat ini adalah output kekhawatiranku pada masa depan finansial keluargaku.

Hal ini juga karena⏭️

1. Ingin memberikan yang terbaik untuk keluarga. Karena keluarga yang mawaddah, adalah yang selalu ingin memberi tanpa lagi memandang bagaimana pasangan juga me-ratu-kan kita. Jadi di luar pendapatan pasangan berapa, pokoknya kita ingin memberikan mahabbah jalur finansial. Pasangan=mitra sejajar=kolaborasi.

2. Ingin masa tua memiliki aktivitas berfaedah. Bekerja untuk umat.

3. Perempuan terbaik, yang hidupnya hanya untuk Nya. Karir, anak, pasangan, dlsb,,, semata karena Nya. Dan cinta pada yang ada di dunia adalah setelah cinta pada Nya.

4. Hidup cuma satu kali. Mendedikasikan usia untuk hal bermakna. Perempuan akan kembali pada mengurus anak dan mendukung pasangan dari rumah. Namun dengan aktivitas perempuan di luar rumah (bekerja) akan memberikan energi baik, apalagi untuk hal yang disukainya.

5. Hidup dengan ketidakpastian. Ketika suami mendahului kembali ke Rabb ku, tetap berada dalam kondisi aman dalam finansial.

Intinya, ingin memberikan yang terbaik untuk keluarga💜

[asma-al-husna]

Allah calls Himself Al-Hameed— the Most Praiseworthy , the Praised One — on ten occasions in the Quran. He is the One who deserves all praise and honour. Al-Hameed is the only One who is truly worthy of all praise and thanks!

The Praiseworthy, the object of praise

Hameed comes from the root haa-meem-daal, which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to praise with a sense of deep adoration and submission. The second main meaning is to honor or speak well of and the third is to praise one for what is done by that one’s own will.

This root appears 63 times in the Quran in five derived forms. Examples of these forms are al hamdu (all praise be to), al-haamidoona  (those who praise), and mahmoodan  (praiseworthy).

Linguistically, hamd is based on mahabbah (love) and ta’dheem (honour) and it implies admiration and gratitude towards the one who is praised (mahmood). Allah is Al-Hameed, He is the One who is always deserving of praise, regardless if He is being praised or not.

Al-Hameed Himself says: And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy [Quran, 22:24] .. and it guides to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy. [Quran, 34:6] . . . O mankind, you are those in need of Allah , while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. [Quran, 35:15]

Alhamdulillah: an exclusive praise

Believers say alhamdulillah– All praise and thanks are for Allah each day in prayer in Surah Al-Fatiha, the first word of Adam ‘alayhi sallam was alhamdulillah and alhamdulillah will be the last call of the people of Paradise: وَآخِرُدَعْوَاهُمْأَنِالْحَمْدُلِلَّهِرَبِّالْعَالَمِينَ . . . And the last of their call will be, Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds! [Quran,10:10]

Whereas hamd means praise, the ‘al’ in al-hamd makes the praise definite and implies exclusivity. Al-hamd means all types of praise and every manner of thanks at all times is due to Allah ‘azza wa jall. Abu Ja`far bin Jarir said: The meaning of alhamdulillah is: all thanks are due purely to Allah, alone, not any of the objects that are being worshipped instead of Him, nor any of His creation. [Tafseer ibn Katheer]

Alhamdulillah therefore can be best described by the most complete, perfect, and beautiful praise that is deserved by and for Allah ‘azza wa jall only!


Alhamdulillah in the Quran

The phrase alhamdulillah occurs 38 times in the Quran and it is the praise Allah ‘azza wa jall praised Himself with. Some suwar (plural of surah) of the Quran begin with hamd, which announces that all praise and thanks belong to Allah ‘azza wa jall,  instructs that when we begin something we should begin with praise (like in a sermon or when making dua’) and shows us how to praise Allah– by saying alhamdulillah.

How Can You Live by This Name?

1. Know the virtues alhamdulillah.
Increasing your Islamic knowledge and being aware of different virtues of acts of worship will motivate you to practise them! The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: Verily, your Lord likes Al-Hamd [An-Nasaa’i] He salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam mentioned: the best dhikr (remembering Allah) is laa ilaaha illallah and the best supplication is alhamdulillah [At-Tirmidhee] And: The phrase alhamdulillah fills the scale. [Muslim] Realize the virtues of alhamdulillah!

2. Increase in saying alhamdulillah and feel it.
Increase in saying this beautiful praise in your daily life. And say it out of deep love, honour, and with humility and gratitude to your Lord.  Remember Paradise when you say alhamdulillah, and ask Allah ‘azza wa jall to make you of those who say: Their call therein will be, ‘Exalted are You, O Allah,’ and their greeting therein will be, ‘Peace.’ And the last of their call will be, ‘Praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds.’ [Quran, 10:10]

3. Say it when you are blessed.
The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: No servant is blessed by Allah and says, alhamdulillah except that what he was given is better than that which he has himself acquired. [Ibn Maajah]

4. Know that everything happens for good.
For the believers there is always a win-win situation. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: The affair of the believer is amazing. The whole of his life is beneficial, and that is only in the case of the believer. When good times come to him, he is thankful and it is good for him, and when bad times befall him, he is patient and it is also good for him. [Muslim] Deeply reflect on this hadith and say: alhamdulillah ‘alaa kulli haal– alhamdulillah in every case or situation!

Pelita hati

Hari ini penduduk bumi bersedih sebab telah pergi sang pelita hati, namun lain halnya dengan penduduk langit yang sedang berbahagia menyambut kedatangannya. Telah pergi salah satu pelita hati kami, penyejuk hati kala gundah dan gulana yang diakibatkan perkara dunia.

Beliau salah satu ulama kibar muhaddits yang terkenal kewalia-an nya, sejak kecil sudah menghafal shohih bukhari muslim matan berserta sanadnya yarabb, bahkan dapat khobar dari ahbab beliau bahwa rasulullah yang mendidik beliau dari kecil yarabbana.

Terlihat mustahil bagi kita yang memiliki keterbatasan akal tapi ya memang seperti itu kenyataannya, Allah memilih diantara hamba-hambanNya yang memang pantas untuk mendapat karunia tersebut.

Alhamdulillah maha baik Allah memperkenankan diri ini untuk bisa bersuhbah dengan beliau meskipun sangat amat singkat. Kami yang hanya sebentar saja begitu terasa nikmat nya bertemu dengan beliau apalagi orang-orang yang lebih dahulu.

Pernah suatu hari kami berkunjung ke majelis beliau, karna waktu hampir larut malam namun majelis beliau belum usai. Pengurus dauroh sudah menghimbau untuk segera bergegas menuju kendaraan, karna keinginan kami untuk tetap berdiam diri sampai majelis selesai akhirnya kami bandel sedikit. Tidak ikut serta pulang bareng rombongan ahbab dan niatnya kami mau pulang bersama ahbab malaysia. ala ni'matillah kami bisa hadir sampai selesai dan bersalaman dengan beliau.

Disepanjang perjalanan pulang ada salah satu ustad yang bercerita tentang karamah dan agungnya maulana syekh muhammad, dari malam yang syahdu itu mahabbah kami bertambah kuat hingga rasanya tidak mau dauroh ramadhan ini segera usai. Namun apalah daya hakikatnya dunia memang dirancang untuk sementara dan Allah rancangkan kehidupan akhirat yang kekal sebagai hadiah untuk hamba-hambanNya kelak.

فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِم مِّنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Mereka dalam keadaan gembira disebabkan karunia Allah yang diberikan-Nya kepada mereka, dan mereka bergirang hati terhadap orang-orang yang masih tinggal di belakang yang belum menyusul mereka, bahwa tidak ada kekhawatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak (pula) mereka bersedih hati.

ya maulana semoga Allah dan engkau meridhoi suhbah di dunia yang singkat ini, dan semoga suhbah ini berlanjut kelak di akhirat nanti bersama juga dengan rasulullah aaamiin allahumma aamiin :"""""

The Fundamentals Which Cause Mahabbah (Love) of Allāh (The Lord).

Imām Ibn Al Qayyim – رحمة الله عليه – says: “The reasons which cause mahabbah of Allâh to develop, are ten:

1. Reciting the Qur‘ân, reflecting and understanding its meaning and its intent.

2. Drawing closer to Allāh – the Most High – through optional deeds, after fulfilling the obligatory duties.

3. Being continuous in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allāh, with the tongue, the heart and the limbs – under all circumstances. The more constant the dhikr, the more mahabbah develops and intensifies.

4. Giving precedence to what Allāh loves over personal loves, when being overcome by desires.

5. Contemplating and deliberating over the Names and Attributes of Allāh.

6. Recognising and remembering the favours and bounties of Allāh – both the manifest and hidden.

7. To be humble and submissive before Allāh – and this is the greatest matter.

8. To be in seclusion reciting the Qur'ān, during that time in which Allāh descends to the lowest heaven (which is the last third of every night), finishing this recitation with seeking Allâh’s forgiveness and repenting to Him.

9. To sit in the gatherings of true and sincere lovers of Allāh, reaping the fruits of their speech, and not to speak except if there is benefit in it and that you know that such talk will increase you in goodness and that it will benefits others as well.

10. To stay clear of all those causes which distances the heart from Allāh – the Mighty and Majestic.

So these are the ten reasons which cause the person to develop true love for Allāh and to reach the rank of al-muhabbah, by which he reaches his Beloved.”

● [مدارج السالكين ٣: ١٧-١٨]

[aysufs]

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“A man only commits haraam actions

because of the weakness of his imān and love (for Allah).”

[Qaa‘idah fi’l-Mahabbah, page 104]

[ynx1]

Who does Allaah love?

Shaikh Falaah ibn Ismaa’eel al-Mundakar:

• He loves the doers of good.

• He loves the one who fears Him.

• He loves the steadfastly patient ones.

• He loves those who place their reliance upon Him.

• He loves those who act justly.

• He loves those who perform jihaad in His path.

• He loves those who repent and those who purify themselves.

15 FAWAID HADIST Mukmin Yang Kuat Lebih Baik Dan Lebih Dicintai Oleh Allaah Ta’ala

عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: « اَلْمُؤْمِنُ اَلْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيْفِ وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ. اِحْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ، وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ. وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَا تَقُلْ: لَوْ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَلَكِنْ قُلْ: قَدَّرُ اللهُ، َوَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ، فَإِنَّ لَوْ تَفْتَحُ عَمَلَ الشَّيْطَانِ » . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

Dari sahabat Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu, Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda,

“Mukmin yang kuat lebih baik dan lebih dicintai oleh Allaah daripada mukmin yang lemah. Namun, keduanya tetap memiliki kebaikan. Bersemangatlah atas hal-hal yang bermanfaat bagimu.

Minta tolonglah pada Allaah, jangan engkau lemah. Jika engkau tertimpa suatu musibah, maka janganlah engkau katakan: ‘Seandainya aku lakukan demikian dan demikian.’ Akan tetapi hendaklah kau katakan: ‘Ini sudah jadi takdir Allaah. Setiap apa yang telah Dia kehendaki pasti terjadi.’ Karena perkataan law (seandainya) dapat membuka pintu setan.”

(HR. Muslim, no. 2664).

Faedah Hadist Hadist ini memberikan faedah-faedah berharga, di antaranya;

1. Ketetapan sifat mahabbah (cinta) bagi Allaah Azza wa Jalla sesuai dengan keagungan dan kemulian-Nya, berdasarkan sabda Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, yang artinya, “Mukmin yang kuat lebih baik dan lebih dicintai Allaah Azza wa Jalla daripada Mukmin yang lemah”

2. Allaah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala Maha Mencintai, dan kecintaan Allaah Azza wa Jalla kepada orang-orang Mukmin berbeda-beda. Dia lebih mencintai sebagian kaum Muslimin daripada kaum Muslimin lainnya.

3. Maksud mukmin yang kuat di sini adalah mukmin yang kuat imannya. Bukan yang dimaksudkan dengan kuat di sini adalah mukmin yang kuat badannya.

Karena kuatnya badan biasanya akan menimbulkan bahaya jika kekuatan tersebut digunakan dalam hal maksiat. Namun pada asalnya, kuat badan tidak mesti terpuji dan juga tidak mesti tercela.

Jika kekuatan tersebut digunakan untuk hal yang bermanfaat untuk urusan dunia dan akhirat, maka pada saat ini terpuji. Namun jika sebaliknya, digunakan dalam perbuatan maksiat kepada Allaah Ta’ala, maka pada saat inilah tercela.

4. Ada perbedaan antara manusia dalam hal keimanan, ada yang kuat dan ada yang lemah.

5. Iman itu mencakup perkataan dan perbuatan. Iman bisa bertambah dengan sebab ketaatan dan bisa berkurang dengan sebab perbuatan maksiat.

6. Dorongan agar seorang muslim itu berjuang melawan hawa nafsunya agar bisa meraih derajat Mukmin yang kuat imannya.

7. Kuat dan lemahnya iman seseorang sesuai dengan usaha dan perjuangannya melawan hawa nafsunya dan menjaga ketaatannya kepada Allaah Azza wa Jalla.

8. Allaah Ta’ala mencintai kaum Muslimin yang bersemangat dalam hal-hal yang bermanfaat baginya.

9. Kebahagiaan seseorang sangat tergantung pada kesungguhan-sungguhannya dalam hal-hal yang bermanfaat bagi kehidupannya di dunia dan akhirat.

10. Islam datang untuk mewujudkan dan menyempurnakan kebaikan-kebaikan.

11. Peringatan agar setiap muslim tidak menghabiskan waktu dan tenaganya pada sesuatu yang tidak bermanfaat baginya.

12. Hendaknya manusia bersabar atas apa yang telah ditakdirkan Allaah Azza wa Jalla untuknya. Karena penyesalan atas apa yang telah berlalu tidak akan bisa mengembalikan apa yang telah berlalu itu.

13. Penyesalan atas apa yang telah berlalu bisa membuka godaan setan.

14. Hendaknya kaum Muslimin ketika ditimpa musibah, mengucapkan,

قَـدَرُ اللهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ

Ini telah Allaah takdirkan, dan apa saja yang Dia kehendaki pasti dikerjakan

15. Beriman kepada takdir Allaahh Azza wa Jalla, yang baik maupun yang buruk. Dan apa yang Allaah Azza wa Jalla kehendaki pasti terjadi, tidak ada yang dapat menolak ketetapan-Nya.

Wallahu Ta’ala A’lam

● [مدارج السالكين ٣: ١٧-١٨]

[totally-kosher]

A person may know this for himself; he may have the problem of committing a sin that he commits regularly even though he believes that it is haraam and hopes to rid himself of it.

But what is feared for the one who persists in sin without repenting is that it may lead him to a bad end, Allāh forbid, or he may begin to love the sin in which he persists, so that leads him to no longer feel in his heart what he is obliged to believe, which is that it is haraam. So he begins to regard the sin as permissible because he is used to it and loves it.

Hence one of the salaf said: Sin is the harbinger of kufr and there is the fear for the one who persists in sin that if he takes the matter lightly and does it as he does permissible things, without hating it or fearing the consequences, his faith will be rendered invalid.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man only commits haraam actions because of the weakness of his faith and love; if he does makrooh actions it is because he does not have enough hatred towards it, or because of the strength of the love for it that overwhelmed his heart. No person does any haraam action, such as immoral conduct both obvious and hidden, or sin and transgression, or associates things with Allah for which He has sent down no authority, or speaks about Allah without knowledge, except because of weakness of faith, because of lack of knowledge and belief, or because of the weakness of love and hate. But if his faith is basically sound, which means that he believes in all that Allah sent, then when the believer does these actions, he feels hatred and resentment towards them, and if he does them then it is because his whims and desires overwhelmed him, so when doing them he inevitably hates them and fears Allāh's punishment for them, and he has the hope that he will rid himself of the consequences, either by repenting or by doing good deeds or by being forgiven, and so on. But if he does not hate them and does not fear Allāh with regard to them and does not hope for His mercy, then this is not a believer under any circumstances; rather he is a kaafir or a hypocrite. [Qaa‘idah fi’l-Mahabbah, p. 104]

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (blessings and peace of Allāh be upon him) say:

“All of my ummah will be fine except those who commit sin openly, and it is part of committing sin openly for a man to do something at night, then in the morning when his Lord has concealed him he says: O So and so, I did such and such last night, when his Lord had concealed him all night, but in the morning he discloses that which Allāh had concealed for him.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5721) and Muslim (2990).

To sum up: persisting in sin is a major sin, but it does not constitute kufr unless it is accompanied by regarding the action as permissible. Persisting in it does not necessarily indicate that the person regards it as permissible, but it may lead to that.

May Allāh forgive you and have mercy upon you.

Do you think I'm not miserable enough. Why do you have to add onto my pain thinking you're saving me when you're just rubbing salt in my wounds

[ibn-agim]

At Tawhid (التوحيد)

أن التوحيد هو إفراد الله - سبحانه - بالعبادة وهو دين الرسل الذي أرسلهم الله عباده [١]

"Tawhid is to single out Allah in worship. And this is the religion of all the messengers whom Allah sent to His servants." [1]

Derived from the root letters (و - ح - د)

Tawhid linguistically means,

"The act of making something one"

In the Islamic terminology it means to

"Believe in the Lordship of Allah, and His Perfect Names and Attributes. Only when a person truly believes in Allah's Perfect Names will he or she direct all acts of worship to Him."

Thus a more comprehensive and concise definition of Tawhid is "To affirm Allah's unique and perfect nature, by affirming His Lordship and His Names and Attributes, and to single Him out in worship." [2]

The word 'Tawhid' is mentioned in the Prophet's (ﷺ) Sunnah and thus its usage was accepted by early scholars of Islam.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu'adh bin Jabal (رضي الله عنه) to Yemen. He (ﷺ) said to him,

فَلْيَكُنْ أَوَّلَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُوَحِّدُوا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى [٣]

"...so let the first thing which you will invite them be, To single out Allah the Exalted. (Yuwahiddu)" [3]

(وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ)

"And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut..." [4]

فأولهم نوح عليه السلام أرسله الله إلى قومه لما غلوا في الصالحين، ودا و سواعا و يغوث و يعوق و نسرا وآخر الرسل محمد (ﷺ) وهو الذي كسر صور هؤلاء الصالحين [٥]

"The first of these messengers was Nuh, whom Allah sent to his people after they exaggerated the status of righteous people, Such as Wadd and Suwa' and Yaghuth amd Ya'uq and Nasr. And the last of these messengers was Muhammad (ﷺ), and he was the one who broke the images of these righteous people." [5]

Some early usage of the term 'Tawhid' from the scholars of Al Islam,

- Kitab At Tawhid (Sahih Al Bukhari) by Imam Bukhari (d. 256h)

- Kitab At Tawhid by Ibn Khuzaymah (d. 311)

- Kitab At Tawhid by Muhammad bin Ishaq ibn Mandah (d. 395) [6]

The Scholars (رحمهم الله) May Allah have mercy upon them, have categorised Tawhid into three,

- Tawhid Ar Rububiyyah (توحيد الربوبية)

That is to single out Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, in three matters:

1. Creating (الخلق) [Al Khalq]

2. Ownership (الملك) [Al Mulk]

3. Disposition of Affairs (التدبير) [At Tadbir] [7]

(ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٞ)

"Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs." [8]

( أَلَا لَهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقُ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُۗ)

"...The creation and the command belong to Him ˹alone˺..." [9]

(وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ)

"To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth..." [10]

- Tawhid Al Uluhiyyah or Al 'Ibadah (توحيد الألوهية أو العبادة)

That is to single out Allah, The Almighty and Sublime, in worship, such that you do not be a slave to other than Allah. You do not worship an Angel, or a Prophet, a Wali, a Shaykh, Mother or Father. You do not worship, except Allah alone; and single out Allah, The Almighty and Sublime, alone, by deifying Him. That is why it is referred to as the Tawhid of Al Uluhiyyah (Divinity), and it is also called the Tawhid of Al 'Ibadah (Worship). So in reference to Allah, it is Tawhid Al Uluhiyyah and in reference to the slave, it is Tawhid Al 'Ibadah. [11]

(وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ)

"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." [12]

Worship is built upon two important things,

1. Love (المحبه) [Al Mahabbah)

2. Reverence (التعظيم) [At Ta'dheem]

(إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَيَدۡعُونَنَا رَغَبٗا وَرَهَبٗاۖ)

"...Indeed, they used to race in doing good, and call upon Us with hope and fear,..." [13]

So, with love, there will be hope and with reverence, there will be awe and fear.

- Tawhid Al Asma' waa Sifat (توحيد الأسماء والصفات)

That is to single out Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, with what He named Himself, and He described Himself with in His Book, or upon the tongue of His Messenger (ﷺ). This is done by affirming what He affirmed and negating what He negated.

Without,

- Distortion (تحريف) [Tahreef]

- Denial (تعطيل) [Ta'til]

- Saying "How" (تكييف) [Takyeef]

- Likening [to creation] (تمثيل) [Tamtheel] [14]

(وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَٱدۡعُوهُ بِهَاۖ وَذَرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلۡحِدُونَ فِيٓ أَسۡمَٰٓئِهِۦۚ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ)

"And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing." [15]

والله أعلم

And Allah knows best.

و صلى الله محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم

May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, his family and his companions.

الحمد لله رب العالمين
