ALLH AND HIS CREATIONS
In the beginning, there was only Allh.
H. Amad
Allh wrote the decrees before He created the heaven and
the earth by 50 000 years. And His throne was above the water.
H. Amad, Abu Dwd, Tirmidhi
The first thing Allh created was the pen, and He ordered it to
write everything that will happen until the Day of Judgement.
H. Amad, Muslim (n. Abu Hurayrah)
Allh created
dust/earth on Saturday
mountain on Sunday
trees on Monday
makruh/dislikes on Tuesday
light on Wednesday
animals on Thursday
dam(a.s.) on Friday (after Asr)
Allh also created angels, each one given a specific task.
For example:
Angels that carry the throne of Allh (Q. Ghfir: 7)
Angels that guard the human (Q. Rad: 11)
WHO WAS CREATED FIRST: JINN OR MAN?
The jinn were created first.
Q. Al-Hijr: 27
And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
H. (n. Ibn Abbas)
2000 years before mankind was created, there were jinn.

Q. Baqarah: 31-33
Allh taught dam(a.s.) the names of everything.
Allh asked the angels the names of things, but the angels couldnt. They admitted that they have no
knowledge except what Allh have taught them and that Allh is the All-Knower, the Wise.

dam(a.s.) : Why have you been created?
Hawa: So that you could find tranquility in me.
Angels passed and asked dam(a.s.) about her.
dam(a.s.) replied that she is Hawa* (because she was created from dam(a.s.) and he is a living being)
* Hawa: Derived from Hayy (something alive)

First, drought occurred several years.
70 of their righteous men went to pray for rain.
3 clouds came: white, red, and black.
They thought it would rain.
But the black cloud brought a blasting wind that lasted for 8 days and 7 nights (Q. Haqqah: 7)
The people was blown by the wind and crashed down: their heads and torso went into the ground, but
their feet remained above the ground like trees.
PROPHETS (S.A.W.) SUPPLICATION DURING A BLOWING WIND
H. Bukhari (n. Aisha)
If the Prophet (s.a.w.) saw a cloud in the sky, he would become agitated. If it rained, he would become
relaxed. He feared that something similar to the punishment of d would happen.
Hisnul Muslim

the good within it,
and the good it was sent with,
and I take refuge with You from
its evil,
the evil within it,
and the evil it was sent with.

They pointed at a rock and asked li (a.s.) to bring out an attractive she-camel, which must be 10 months
pregnant. And they promised to believe in li (a.s.) if he were able to do so.
Allh ordered the rock to split, and out came a great, pregnant she-camel The first miracle
li (a.s.) told his people
The she-camel was a sign (Q. Al-Arf: 73, Hd: 64)

(her husband Saduq offered herself to her cousin Masra
was a believer) Unayzah offered her daughters to Qudar
Masra, Qudar and 7 other men went to kill the she-camel.
When the camel came to drink, Masra shot it in the leg.
The camel tried to run away, but Qudar followed it and struck its other leg, and slaughtered it.
The baby ran away, but they followed and killed it as well.
THE PUNISHMENT
li (a.s.) warned the disbelievers that punishment will come in 3 days (Q. Hd: 65)
The disbelievers decided to kill li (a.s.) and his family by night. (Q. Al-Naml: 49)

9 men came to kill li (a.s.), but Allh rained down stones that smashed their heads before
punishing the rest of the tribe.

Q. Al-Anm: 52-67
Ibrhm(a.s.) asked his people what were these idols that they worshipped.
The people told him they found their fathers worshipping the idols (they have no other evidence).
Ibrhm(a.s.) told them that they and their fathers were wrong, but they did not believe him.
One day, the people went out to celebrate a festival.
They passed by Ibrhm(a.s.) and asked whether he would come along, but Ibrhm(a.s.) said he was sick.
While everyone was away, Ibrhm(a.s.) took an axe and smashed all of the idols except the biggest one.
He put the axe next to this idol.
The people came back and saw the idols were destroyed.
Some people mentioned about a young man, Ibrhm(a.s.), who spoke bad about the idols.
They brought him before the people and asked Ibrhm(a.s.) if he was the one who did this.
Ibrhm(a.s.) told them the big one did it and he told them to ask the idols.
The people admitted that the idols could not speak.
Ibrhm(a.s.) admonished them for worshipping something that cannot benefit or harm them.

The people became angry after being defeated by Ibrhm(a.s.).
They said: BURN him!
They made a big fire.
It took 6 months to lit up.

26

-
-
Because the fire was so big and they could not go near it, they put Ibrhm(a.s.) on a catapult and
launched him into the fire.
Before being thrown into the fire, an angel came and asked if he need anything.
Ibrhm(a.s.) said: Nothing from you.
When they threw him into the fire, he said: Sufficient for me is Allh, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
Alllah told the fire to be cool and safe for Ibrhm(a.s.).
When the fire had extinguished, the people were surprised to find Ibrhm(a.s.) alive and
untouched by the fire.
Their plot was foiled and they were defeated.
STAGE 2: IBRHM(A.S.) AND NAMRD
Namrd, the king, had proclaimed himself as god.

Ibrhm(a.s.) said:
My Lord is He who gives life
and causes death.
Namrd said:
I give life and cause death.
He took two prisoners out.

He killed the other one.
Ibrhm(a.s.) said:

He was defeated.
Namrd decided to banish Ibrhm(a.s.) fromhis kingdom.
STAGE 2: MIGRATION TO AL-SHAM AND THEN TO EGYPT

Then, they migrated to Egypt.
27

They passed by a place ruled by a tyrant.
The tyrant was told that Ibrhm(a.s.)
and a beautiful woman had entered the city.
When he was asked about Srah, Ibrhm(a.s.)
said Srah was his sister.
The tyrant took Srah, but when he wanted to touch her,
he became paralysed.
He told Srah to pray to Allh to cure him
and he would not harm her, so she did.
But he tried to touch her again,
and the same thing happened.
The third time it happened, he told his servant that he
had brought him not a human being, but a devil.
The tyrant set Srah free and gifted her Hjar.
(H. Bukhari)
STAGE 2: BACK TO PALESTINE
They went back to Palestine, and Ibrhm(a.s.) married Hjar.
When he was around 60-70 years old, Hjar gave birth to Isml (a.s.).
Ibrhm(a.s.) was again tested by Allh; he was ordered to leave his wife, Hjar, and his baby son,
Isml (a.s.), in the desert.
STAGE 2: JOURNEY TO MAKKAH
Ibrhm(a.s.) asked Hjar to get Isml (a.s.)
and prepare for a long journey.
They set out, and when they reached an
uncultivated valley, Ibrhm(a.s.) turned and
walked away, leaving Hjar and Isml (a.s.)
behind.
Hjar asked him: Where are you going?
But Ibrhm(a.s.) did not reply.
She repeated the question, but again,
he did not reply.
Then, she said: Has Allh ordered you to do so?
He said: Yes.
She said: Then He will not neglect us.
The three lies of Ibrahim (a.s.)
When he said to his people,
I am sick when they asked
him if he would come to the
festival.
When he told his people that
the biggest idol were the one
that had destroyed all other
idols.
When he told the tyrant
of Egypt that Sarah was
his sister.
The Dua of Ibrahim (a.s.)
Our Lord, I have settled some of my
descendants in an uncultivated valley near
Your sacred House
Our Lord, that they may establish prayer
So make hearts among the people incline
toward them
And provide for them with fruits
So that they may be thankful
Q. Ibrahim: 37

Their water ran out, and Isml (a.s.) was crying out of hunger.
Hjar ran between As-Safa and Al-Marwah 7 times to look for water and other people.
She then heard a voice and saw an angel digging the earth with his heel/wing.
Water flowed from that place, and Hjar started making something like a basin to contain the water.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: May Allh bestow mercy on Ishmaels mother! Had she let the Zam-Zam (flow
without trying to control it or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water-holder), Zam-Zam
would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth.
A tribe of Jurhum (from Yemen) was travelling through the desert when they saw a bird flying over an area
(a sign of the presence of water).
They came and asked Hjar to allow them to stay there.
Hjar agreed with a condition that they would have no right over the water.
(H. Bukhari)
STAGE 3: THE SACRIFICE
Ibrhm(a.s.) would come and visit Hjar and Isml (a.s.) every now and them.
Q. Safft: 102-107
When Isml (a.s.) was old enough to walk with him, Ibrhm(a.s.) received a dream, an order fromAllh,
to slaughter his son, Isml (a.s.). He asked Isml (a.s.) for his opinion.
Isml (a.s.) said: O my father*! Do that which you are commanded, InshaAllh (if Allh wills),
you shall find me of the patient.
Ibrhm(a.s.) laid Isml (a.s.) face down (so that they would not have to face each other),
and started moving the knife, but it would not cut, by the will of Allh.
Ibrhm(a.s.) then heard a call: O Ibrhm, you have fulfilled the dream!
Allh had accepted their submission and ransomed Isml (a.s.) with a ram.
* Isml (a.s.) also used Y abati when speaking to his father, Ibrhm(a.s.).
STAGE 3: THE BUILDING OF AL-KABAH
One day, Ibrhm(a.s.) came to Isml (a.s.) and inform himof Allhs order to build the Kabah.
They began building the Kabah together.
While building, they prayed:
O our Lord! Accept this service from us, verily,
You are the All-Hearer, the Knower. (Q. Al-Baqarah: 127)
29

Ibrhm(a.s.) asked Isml (a.s.) to go and find the final
rock to complete the building.
An angel brought them a rock from the heaven,
al-Hjar al-aswad, which was said to be originally
white but it turned black.
After they had built the Kabah, Allh ordered Ibrhm
(a.s.) to call the people to Hajj. (Q. Al-Hajj: 27)
It was said that Ibrhm(a.s.) did not know how to convey
the message for his voice would not reach them, but Allh
said: Call them and We will convey it.
Ibrhm(a.s.) called out: O mankind! Your Lord has
established a House, so come on pilgrimage to it. (Ibn
Kathr)
And the response to this call is the talbiyah
(Labbaik Allhumma labbaik) that the pilgrims say
during Hajj or Umrah.
STAGE 3: HIS DEATH
Ibrhm(a.s.) died in Palestine.
Some people say that he was buried in a place called Al-Khalil (no authentic prove).
The Maqam of Ibrahim (a.s.)
The stone where Ibrahim
(a.s.) stood on when building
the Kabah
Allh said in the Qurn: and
take from the standing place
of Ibrahim a place of prayer

from the decline of Your blessings
the removal of our state of well-being
the suddenness of Your punishments

They all gathered outside and started beseeching Allh for mercy and forgiveness with pure sincerity.
Allh spared them from the punishment. (Ibn Kathr)
The people of Nineveh were
the only nation which Allh removed His torment from them (Q. Ynus: 98)
the only nation where all its inhabitant (100 000 people or more) became believers.
(Q. Saffat: 147-148)
YNUS (A.S.) LEFT HIS PEOPLE
Q. Ynus: 98
After his people had rejected him, Ynus (a.s.) left in anger and disappointment.
He went to the shore and boarded a ship to leave the town.
A horrible storm started, with waves as high as mountains.
The crew tossed baggages overboard to lighten the ship, but this was not enough.
They decided to throw at least one of them overboard.
They made lots with names of everyone.
The one whose name is drawn will be thrown into the sea.

IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE
Allh ordered a whale to swallow Ynus (a.s.).
Ynus (a.s.) stayed in the belly of the whale for 40 days.
The crew did not want to throw him as they knew he was honourable.

He did not have the

THE AMAZING SUPPLICATION
Q. Al-Anbiy: 87
Ynus (a.s.) supplicated to Allh:
None has the right to be worshipped but You, Glorified are You.
Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers.
The angels in the heaven heard a weak voice coming from
an unusual place, so they asked Allh.
Allh informed them that was Ynus (a.s.).
The angels asked Allh to save Ynus (a.s.).
Allh replied that He would.
SUPPLICATION GRANTED
Allh then ordered the whale to swim towards the shore and ejected Ynus (a.s.).
Ynus (a.s.) body was weak; his skin could not protect him from the sun and the wind.
Allh gave him
a tree with big leaves shade
a female deer milk
When Ynus (a.s.) health had been restored, he went back to Nineveh and found that
all his people had believed.

THE FIRAWN
According to some historians, the King of Egypt (Firawn) at the time of Msa (a.s.) was
Minfitah a.k.a. Merneptah (1230-1215 AD), the son of Ramses II.
Firawn and the Eqyptians ruled the land.
Banu Isrl became slaves and were oppressed.
Firawn declared himself as god.
FIRAWNS DREAM
Firawn saw a dream:
A fire came from Jerusalem.
It burned the houses of the Egyptians only.
It did not harm Banu Isrl.
His priests and magicians interpreted the dream:
A boy will be born from Banu Isrl.
The Egyptians would perish at his hands.
FIRAWNS PLAN
Firawn issued a decree to kill all male babies of the Banu Isrl.
Then, they changed to killing all male babies born in alternate years.
1 year: kill the babies* Otherwise, they would lose manpower if
1 year: let the babies live** all the children were killed and the aged died.
* Msa (a.s.) was born in one of these years They were
** Hrn (a.s.) was born in one of these years brothers.
Firawns plan
Egyptian midwives would go around checking for pregnant women.
A sign would be placed at each of the Banu Isrls house that had a pregnant woman
(only the Egyptians could read the sign).
Soldiers would raid houses at night, taking babies from their mothers.
Some of the Banu Isrl people became spies and informed any pregnancy or delivery to the Egyptians.

THE BIRTH
UmmMsa became pregnant with Msa (a.s.) during the year of slaughter.
She kept the pregnancy a secret.
She and her neighbour (who was not pregnant) planned:
If any soldier came, they would switch places so that the soldier would only find
non-pregnant woman in both of their houses.
When Msa (a.s.) was born, UmmMsa nursed him secretly.
THROWN INTO THE NILE
Q. Al-Qasas: 7
Allh inspired UmmMsa:
Suckle Msa
When she feared for him, cast him into the river
Do not fear
Do not grieve
Allh would return him
Allh would make him one of the messengers
Allh commanded the waves to be calm and gentle while carrying Msa (a.s.).
Q. Al-Qasas: 10-11
After casting her baby in a basket into the river, Umm Msas heart became empty.
She asked her daughter to follow him.
The daughter followed the box secretly from afar.
MSA (A.S.) FINDS A HOME
Q. Al-Qasas: 9-13
The basket drifted towards Firawns palace.
The first person to take the basket was the wife of Firawn.
She fell in love with the baby.
When Firawn saw the baby, he wanted to kill him.
But the Queen defended the baby, saying:
A comfort of the eye for me and for you.
Kill him not, perhaps he maybe of a benefit to us,
or we may adopt him as a son.

The Queen asked her to call woman.
Msas (a.s.) sister went back and told her mother.
UmmMsa went to the palace and started nursing Msa (a.s.).
Firawn was astonished; he asked her who she was.
UmmMsa said: I am a woman of sweet milk and sweet smell, and no child refuses me.
She became his wet nurse.
Msa (a.s.) was brought back to his mother so that
she would be content
she would not grieve
she would know that Allhs promise is true

LET THE TEST BEGIN
Asiyah told Msa (a.s.) about his past.
Msa (a.s.) visited his wet nurse (his own mother) and spent some time with Hrn (a.s.) (his brother).
UmmMsa did not tell Msa (a.s.) who she was until the right time came.
One day, Msa (a.s.) entered the city
when the people were unaware.
He found two men fighting: one was an
Egyptian and the other from Banu Isrl.
The Banu Isrl asked for his help, and
Msa (a.s.) hit the Egyptian with his fist.
Msa (a.s.) was so strong that one strike
caused the Egyptian his life.
Msa (a.s.) repented to Allh.
Allh forgave him.
The next day, the same
person whomhe had
helped got involved in
another fight with an
Egyptian.
Msa (a.s.) said:
You seem to be a
quarrelsome fellow.
The man thought Msa
(a.s.) wanted to kill him.
He said: Would you kill me
as you killed the wretch
yesterday?
The Egyptian heard
this and reported
Msa (a.s.) to the
authorities.
A man alerted
Msa (a.s.) that the
chiefs had decided
to kill Msa (a.s.).

He saw shepherds watering their flocks and, at the other side, two young women.
Msa (a.s.) asked them: What is the matter?
They said: We cannot water our flocks until they finish, and our father is a very old man.
Msa (a.s.) went to the watering hole and removed a heavy rock that was covering part of the spring.

He then heard a call from the right side of the valley:
O Msa! Verily, I amAllh, the Lord of all that exits!
Allh spoke to Msa (a.s.) directly.

would return it back to its original state.
Msa (a.s.) did as he was told in
tawakkul. The snake turned back
into a staff.

o Let him share my task
o We may glorify You much, and remember You much

He was wrong when he killed the Egyptian.
He fled because he was afraid of their revenge, even though the killing was an accident.
Allh had forgiven him and appointed him as his messenger.
Q. Ash-Shuàr': 23-31
Firawn said: Msa (a.s.) answered:
What is the Lord of the lamn?
Lord of the heavens, and the earth,
and all that is between them.
[To those around]
Do you not hear?
Your Lord and the Lord of your
ancient fathers!
[To those around]
Your Messenger who has been
sent to you is a madman.
Lord of the east and the west, and
all that is between them
If you choose an ilah (a god)
other than me, I will certainly
put you among the prisoners.
Even if I bring you proof?
Then bring it, if you should be
of the truthful
Q. Ash-Shuàr': 32-37
Msa (a.s.) threw his staff. It turned into a snake.
He drew out his hand. It was white.
Firawn accused Msa (a.s.) of being a magician who wanted to drive the Egyptian out.
The advisors said they should call all magicians in the country and have them compete with Msa (a.s.).

MSA (A.S.) VS. THE MAGICIANS
On the appointed day, people gather to watch 10 000 magicians and Msa (a.s.) competing.
Before they began, Msa (a.s.) reminded the magician of Allhs punishment if they continued
lying against Allh.
Msa (a.s.) made them think, but they were greedy for what Firawn had promised them.
The magicians asked Firawn if he was going to reward them for winning.
Firawn said they would become close to him.
(Q. Ash-Shuàr': 41-42)
MSA (A.S.) DEFEATS THE MAGICIANS
Q. Th: 65-69, Ash-Shuàr': 43-51
Msa (a.s.) let the magicians start first.
They threw their ropes and staffs, and the items turned into snakes to the eyes of people.

It turned into a huge snake and devoured all the other snakes.
The magician fell down in prostration to Allh and proclaimed their belief in Him,
the Lord of Msa (a.s.) and Hrn (a.s.).
Firawn became so mad.
He accused them of planning this event with Msa (a.s.).
He threatened to cut their hands and feet on opposite side, and to crucify them.
The magicians remained firm, so Firawn killed them.
THE STORY OF FIRAWNS FEMALE MAID
H. Amad (n. Ibn Abbas)
During his night journey, the Prophet (s.a.w.) smelled a very nice scent.
Jibrl said it came fromthe grave of the woman who used to be to comb Firawn's daughter's hair.
This woman was a good, pious believer.
She had 4 kids and a baby.
One day, while combing Firawn's daughter's hair, the comb fell from her hand.
She picked the comb and said: Bismillah.
Firawn's daughter asked: My father?
The woman said: No, my God and your fathers God is Allh.
72

Firawn's daughter told her father what had happened.
Firawn asked the woman: Do you have a God other than me?
She said: Yes, my God and your God is Allh.
Firawn demanded the woman to leave Islam, but she refused.
He threatened to kill her children.
He brought a great container of boiling oil and he started to drop the children into it, one after the other.
The woman remained steadfast to Islam.
When they wanted to take her baby from her arm, and she was about to pull back,
Allh made the baby speak: Be patient my mother, you are in the truth.
So she remained calm.
They threw the baby into the boiling oil.
Before she was thrown into the boiling oil, the woman requested her bones and her childrens bones to be
gathered together in one cloth and buried.
FIRAWNS RELATIVE DEFENDS MSA (A.S.)
Q. Ghfir: 28
A believing man of Firàwn's family said:
Would you kill a man because he says Allh is his God
He has come to you with clear signs
If he is a liar, Allh will punish him in the Hereafter
If he is telling the truth, then calamities will befall on you
Firawns relative uses different types of dialogues:
Emotional
Spiritual
Historical
Invitational
Who was he?
According to As-Suddi, this man was Firawns cousin.
Some said he was the man who advised Msa (a.s.) to flee from Egypt.

You have caused a division among the children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!
Msa (a.s.) asked him why he made the calf.

Women
and a Child

the two of you
The younger woman said: He is her child, do not cut him up!

What Allh has given him were better
His army would come
The Queen and her people decided to submit and they came to Jerusalem.
The
Majestic
Kingdom
Before the delegation from Saba arrived, Sulaymn (a.s.) had ordered someone to
bring the Queens throne to him.
An Ifrit from the jinn said he could bring it before Sulaymn (a.s.) stand from his place.

The man brought the Queens throne.
Sulaymn (a.s.) ordered the throne to be changed to see whether the Queen could
recognize it or not.
The Queen said it was similar.
Sulaymn (a.s.) had also ordered the jinn to build her a palace of glass with water
flowing underneath.

and has enjoined me prayer, and Zakat, as long as I live, and dutiful to my mother,
