💢Aqidah of Imam Tahawi

🔰Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 2
💠Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💎Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)

❖❐ 29- And we are certain that Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is His chosen servant and selected Prophet and His Messenger with whom He is well pleased.

❖❐ 30- And that he (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is the seal of the prophets and the Imam of the god-fearing and the most honored of all the messengers and the beloved of the Lord of all the Worlds.

❖❐ 31- Every claim to prophet-hood after Him is falsehood and deceit.

❖❐ 32- He is the one who has been sent to all the jinn and all mankind with truth and guidance and with light and illumination.

💥The Qur'an

❖❐ 33- The Qur'an is the word of Allah. It came from Him as speech without it being possible to say how. He sent it down on His Messenger as revelation. The believers accept it, as absolute truth. They are certain that it is, in truth, the word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). It is not created, as is the speech of human beings, and anyone who hears it and claims that it is human speech has become an unbeliever.

‼️Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) warns him and censures him and threatens him with Fire when He says Exalted is He:

🔥"I will burn him in the Fire."
[al-Muddaththir 74/26]

‼️When Allah threatens with the Fire those who say:

💢"This is just human speech!"
[al-Muddaththir 74/25]

🔰we know for certain that it is the speech of the Creator of mankind and that it is totally unlike the speech of mankind.

💢Attributes

❖❐ 34- Anyone who describes Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as being in any way the same as a human being has become an unbeliever. All those who grasp this will take heed and refrain from saying things such as the unbelievers say, and they will know that He, in His attributes, is not like human beings.

💥Ru'yah

❖❐ 35- The Seeing of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) by the People of the Garden is true, without their vision being all-encompassing and without the manner of their vision being known. As the Book of our Lord has expressed it:

💥"Faces on that Day radiant, looking at their Lord."
[al-Qiyamah 75/22-23]

‼️The explanation of this is as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knows and wills. Everything that has come down to us about this from the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in authentic traditions, is as he said and means what he intended.

🔰We do not delve into that, trying to interpret it according to our own opinions or letting our imaginations have free rein. No one is safe in his religion unless he surrenders himself completely to Allah (azza wajal) and to His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and leaves the knowledge of things that are ambiguous to the one who knows them.

💠Aqidah of Imam Tahawi

🔰Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 3
💎Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💠Iman :

❖❐ 36- A man's Islam is not secure unless it is based on submission and surrender. Anyone who desires to know things which it is beyond his capacity to know, and whose intellect is not content with surrender, will find that his desire veils him from a pure understanding of Allah's true unity, clear knowledge and correct belief.

‼️And that he veers between disbelief and belief, confirmation and denial and acceptance and rejection. He will he subject to whisperings and find himself confused and full of doubt, being neither an accepting believer nor a denying kafir.

❖❐ 37- Belief of a man in the "seeing of Allah by the people of the Garden is not correct if he imagines what it is like, or interprets it according to his own understanding since the interpretation of this seeing" or indeed, the meaning of any of the subtle phenomena which are in the realm of Lordship, is by avoiding its interpretation and strictly adhering to the submission.

💎"This is the din of Muslims." Anyone who does not guard himself against negating the attributes of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , or likening Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) to something else, has gone astray and has failed lo understand Allah's Glory, because our Lord (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) can only possibly be described in terms of Oneness and Absolute Singularity and no creation is in any way like Him.

❖❐ 38- He is beyond having limits placed on Him, or being restricted, or having parts or limbs. Nor is He contained by the six directions as all created things are.

💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 4
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥al-Mi'raj

39- The Ascent through the heavens is true. RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was taken by night and ascended in his bodily form, while awake, through the heavens, to whatever heights Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) willed for him.

Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) ennobled him in the way that He ennobled him and revealed to him what He revealed to him:

"and his heart was not mistaken about what it saw." [al-Najm 53/11]

Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) blessed him and granted him peace in this world and the next.

al-Hawd

40- The Pool which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will grant the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) as an honor to quench the thirst of his Ummah on the Day Of Judgement, is true.

Shafa'ah

41- The intercession, which is stored up for Muslims, is true, as related in the (consistent and confirmed) ahadith.

The covenant

42- The covenant 'which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made with Adam (Alaihe wa sallam) and his offspring' is true.

Paradise and the Hell

43- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knew, before the existence of time, the exact number of those who would enter the Garden and the exact number of those who would enter the Fire. This number will neither be increased nor decreased.

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💥"The Noble Woman prefers hunger rather than immorality,

🤲Resort to no one but your Lord, for resorting to others is a disgrace."

[Ibn Al-Qayyim | Al-Fawa'id - Pg.77]
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 5
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

al-Qadha and al-Qadar :

44- The same applies to all actions done by people, which are done exactly as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knew they would be done. Everyone is cased to what He was created for and it is the action with which a man's life is sealed which dictates his fate.

Those who are fortunate are fortunate by the decree of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , and those who are wretched are wretched by the decree of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

45- The exact nature of the decree is Allah's secret in His creation, and no angel near the Throne, nor Prophet sent with a message, has been given knowledge of it. Delving into it and reflecting too much about it only leads to destruction and loss, and results in rebelliousness.

So be extremely careful about thinking and reflecting on this matter or letting doubts about it assail you, because Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has kept knowledge of the decree away from human beings, and forbidden them to enquire about it, saying in His Book:

"He is not asked about what He does but they are asked." [al-Anbiya 21/23]

So anyone who asks: "Why did Allah do that?" has gone against a judgment of the Book, and anyone who goes against a judgment of the Book is an unbeliever.

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 6
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

al-Lawh (the Tablet) and al-Qalam (the Pen)

47- We believe in al-Lawh (the Tablet) and al-Qalam (the Pen) and in everything written on it. Even if all created beings were to gather together to make something fail to exist, whose existence Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) had written on the Tablet, they would not be able to do so.

And if all created beings were to gather together to make something exist which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) had not written on it, they would not be able to do so. The Pen has dried having written down all that will be in existence until the Day of Judgment. Whatever a person has missed he would have never got it, and whatever one gets, he would have never missed it.

48- It is necessary for the servant to know that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) already knows everything that is going to happen in His creation and his decreed it in a detailed and decisive way. There is nothing that He has created in either the heavens or the earth that can contradict it, or add to it, or erase it, or change it, or decrease it, or increase it in any way.

This is a fundamental aspect of belief and a necessary element of all knowledge and recognition of Allah's oneness and Lordship. As Allah says in His Book:

"He created everything and decreed it He a detailed way." [al-Furqan 25/2]

And He also says:

"Allah's command is always a decided decree." [al-Ahzab 33/38]

So woe to anyone who argues with Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) concerning the decree and who, with a sick heart, starts delving into this matter. In his delusory attempt to investigate the Unseen, he is seeking a secret that can never be uncovered, and he ends up an evil-doer, telling nothing but lies.

💠Imam Ibn Rajab (رحمه الله) said :

“Strive today to actualize Tawhid; for indeed (you) cannot reach Allah’s (pleasure) except by way of it.

‼️Be eager to establish the rights of Tawhid, Because you cannot be saved from Allah’s punishment except through it.”

[Kalimah al-ikhlaas | P. 54]

● [صحيح الجامع ١٢٠٩]

💠Prophet ﷺ said: ❝There is such an hour on Friday, that if any Muslim makes Du’ā during it, his Du’ā will be accepted.❞

‎● {صحيح البخاري ٥٢٩٥، صحيح مسلم ٨٥٢}

💢Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he takes, the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer).❞

● {جامع الترمذي ٤٩٦}

💠Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ said: ❝Jummah to Jummah expiates the minor sins in between them except for the major sins.❞
● [السلسلة الصحيحة ٣٦٢٣]

💢Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The best of days with Allāh is the day of Jumu'ah.❞

● {صحيح الجامع ١٠٩٨، السلسة الصحيحة ١٥٠٢}

💠Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahu'Allah) said: ❝A time when Du’ās will be accepted is during the last hour of ‘Asr on Jumu’ah.❞

● {زاد المعاد ١/١٠٤}

💢 Sa'id bin Jubayr رحمه الله said:

❝That I hit whips on my head, it is more beloved to me, than me talking whilst the Imām is giving a sermon.❞

● [طبقات ابن سعد ٠٦٢/٦]

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.

💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"

💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"

💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."

[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]

💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said:  Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.

[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]

💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]

💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,

‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."

[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #jumuah
💠Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked about Friday and said,

💥"There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand."

🔰And he (the Prophetﷺ) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَكَرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ فِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لاَ يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ، وَهْوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئًا إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ‏"‌‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ يُقَلِّلُهَا‏.‏

[Sahih al-Bukhari 935]
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 8
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💢Ahl Qiblah :

54- We call the people of our qiblah Muslims and believers as long as they acknowledge what the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) brought, and accept as true everything that he said and told us about.

Vain talk :

55- We do not enter into vain talk about Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) nor do we allow any dispute about the religion Of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

The Speech of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) :

56- We do not argue about the Qur'an and we bear witness that it is the speech of the Lord of all the Worlds which the Trustworthy Spirit (i.e., Jibril) came down with and taught the most honored Of all the Messengers, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

It is the speech of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and no speech of any created being is comparable to it. We do not say that it was created and we do not go against the jamaa'ah of the Muslims regarding it.

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 9
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💢Takfir concerning sin

57- We do not consider any of the people of our qiblah to be unbelievers because of any wrong action they have done, as long as they do not consider that action to have been lawful.

58- Nor do we say that the wrong action of a man who has belief does not have a harmful effect on him.

59- We hope that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will pardon the people of right action among the believers and grant them entrance into the Garden through His mercy, but we cannot be certain of this, and we cannot bear witness that it will definitely happen and that they will be in the Garden. We ask forgiveness for the people of wrong action among the believers and, although we are afraid for them, we are not in despair about them.

between hope and mercy

60- Certainty and despair both remove one from the religion, but the path of truth for the people of the qiblah lies between the two (e.g., a person must fear and be conscious of Allah's reckoning as well as be hopeful of Allah's mercy).

61- A person does not step out or belief except by disavowing what brought him into it.

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 10
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥Iman :

62- Belief consists of affirmation lay the tongue and acceptance by the heart.

Sunnah :

63- And the whole of what is proven from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) regarding the Shari'ah and the explanation (of the Qur'an and of Islam) is true.

64- Belief is, at base, the same for everyone, but the superiority of some over others in it is due to their fear and awareness of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , their opposition to their desires, and their choosing what is more pleasing to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

Awliya of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) :

65- All the believers are 'friends' of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the noblest of them in the sight of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) are those who are the most obedient and who most closely follow the Qur'an.

Articles of Iman :

66- Belief consists of belief in Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and belief that the Decree -both the good of it and the evil of it, the sweet of it and the bitter or it- is all from Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💎 Imam Ibnul Qayyim (Rahimahu'Allah) :

🔥“Asl of şhirk and kufr is speech about Allāh without knowledge.”

[Madārij As-Sālikīn]
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 11
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥Messengers :

67- We believe in all these things. We do not make any distinction between any of the messengers, we accept as true what all of them brought.

68- Those of the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) who have committed grave sins {except committing shirk} will be in the Fire, but not forever, provided they die and meet Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as believers affirming His unity even if they have not repented.

They are subject to His will and judgment. If He wants, He will forgive them and pardon them out of His generosity {if they didn't commit shirt} , as is mentioned in the Qur'an when He (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:

"And He forgives anything less than that (shirk) to whoever He wills." [an-Nisa 4/116] ;

and if He wants, He will punish them in the Fire out of His justice and then bring them out of the Fire through His mercy, and for the intercession of those who were obedient to Him, and send them to the Garden.

This is because Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is the Protector of those who recognize Him and will not treat them in the Next World in the same way as He treats those who deny Him and who are bereft of His guidance and have failed to obtain His protection.

O Allah, You are the Protector of Islam and its people; make us firm in Islam until the day we meet You.

Prayer behind Ahl Qiblah :

69- We agree with doing the prayer behind any of the people of the qiblah {as long as they are upon tawhid and not associating partners with Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala)} whether right-acting or wrong-acting, and doing the funeral prayer over any of them when they die.

70- We do not say that any of them will categorically go to either the Garden or the Fire, and we do not accuse any of them of kufr (disbelief), shirk (associating partners with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala), or nifaq (hypocrisy), as long as they have not openly demonstrated any of those things. We leave their secrets to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) .

71- We do not agree with killing any of the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) unless it is obligatory by Shari'ah to do so.
