"Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be
mentioned?"

"He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; It is easy for Me. Certainly I have
created you before, when you had been nothing!"
[Maryam 19:35]
Mankind, before he was createdwas nothing; and the one who brought him into
existence and made him is Allah , He says:

His (author) statement: "And He provides for us."

th
Sha'ban 1429H

Explanation:
From the time we needed provisions, food, drink, clothing, housing, boats, well-being
Allah had known of our needs.

Then He subjected for us that which is in the heavens and the earth in totality for our
betterment, for the purpose of out sustainment of life [i.e. existence]; so that we can seek
that which we were created forit is the worship of Allah.

)) : ((
His (author) statement: "yet he hasn't left us abandoned."

"al Haml" is something abandoned and deserted that is of no importance, Thus Allah
created us and provides us for a purpose (i.e. wisdom), He didn't create us for
amusement nor in vain, Allah says:
:
_
"Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that
you would not be brought back to Us?"
[Mu'mineen 23:115]

"Does man think that he will be left Suda [neglected without being punished or
rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allh) on him]? Was
he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth?
Then he became an 'Alaqa (a clot); then (Allh) shaped and fashioned (him) in
due proportion."
[Al Qiyyamah 75:36- 38]

"And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them
without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe
to those who disbelieve (in Islmic Monotheism) from the Fire!"
[Saad 38: 27]

Allah merely created us and created for us these provisions and faculties for a
tremendous wisdom and magnificent purpose it is that we worship Him and He
didn't created us like the animals that were created for the servants' well-being;
afterwards they die and go away. Because they aren't held responsible nor were
commands or prohibitions placed upon them, merely Allah has created us to worship
Him, just as Allah says:
__
__ _ _ _
__ :
"And I (Allh) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship
Me (Alone). I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves
or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves
or My creatures). Verily, Allh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most
Strong."
[Dhariyat 51:56-58]

Sha'ban 1429H

And He didn't created us for the Dunya' only to live in it, to do as we please, eat and
drink, become rich in it, and there is not anything after is (the Dunya'). Merely the
existence is for cultivation and a marketplace for the Hereafter for us to take along with
us provisions made of righteous deeds, afterwards we will die and leave from here, after
that we will be brought forth; then be reckoned and recompensed for our deeds.
This is the purpose behind the creation of the Jinn and Man, and the evidence to that
are many verses indicating to the bringing forth, the resurrection, the recompense, and
the reckoning. The intellect indicates to this, for verily it is not befitting of Allah's
wisdom to create this astonishing creation, subjecting this universe for the offspring of
Adam afterwards he leaves them to die and vanish without a consequencethat is in
vain; therefore it is a must that results of these deeds will be made clear in the abode of
the hereafter.
Because of that from mankind are those who pass away in servitude of Allah and in His
obedience, in poverty and destitute , oppressed, pressured, and restricted and he wasn't
granted any reward for his actions in this Dunya', and the opposite are who were
disbelievers, apostates and atheist, wicked people doing as they please in this life; Living
in contentment given whatever he desires, committing unlawful acts set by Allah,
oppressing the servants of Allah having hatred towards them, consuming their wealth,
murdering them without any right; ruling overwhelming them and demonstrating their
power over themafterwards dying on that state, no punishment befell them.
Is it befitting of Allah's fairness and wisdom to leave this obedient person without a
reward, to leave the disbeliever without punishmentthis is not befitting of Allah's
fairness because of that Allah has made another abode to reward the Muhsin (the
good doer) with His beneficence and the Evil doer with his punishment; then the fruits
of their deeds will be clear there.

Therefore the Dunya' is an abode of deeds and the hereafter is an abode of recompense
whether it be paradise or the hell fire. Allah didn't leave us deserted as the atheist and
Dahriyyun thinkAllah says:

"And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live
and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (the time). And they have no
knowledge of it, they only conjecture."
[Jaathiyah 45: 24]

This is the statement of the atheist who don't believe in the bringing forth (of the
creation) and resurrection. Allah has rejected their statement, he says:

"Shall We then treat the (submitting) Muslims like the Mujrimn (criminals,
polytheists and disbelievers, etc.)? What is the matter with you? How judge
you?"

those who believe (in the Oneness of Allh Islmic Monotheism) and do
righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the
judgment that they make."
[Jaathiyah 45:21]

And Allah says:
_ . _ _
__ : _
"Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allh Islmic
Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, as Mufsidn (those who associate
partners in worship with Allh and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat
the Muttaqn (pious - see V.2:2), as the Fujjr (criminals, disbelievers, wicked,
etc)?'

Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him):

)) ((
"On the contrary He (Allah) has sent to us a
messenger."

Explanation:
It isn't permissible for us to take (worship) from our own approvals or by blind
following this person and that (known) person amongst the people. Allah has sent
messengers to us clarifying for us how we should worship Him. Because the acts of
worship are "Tauqifiyah" [i.e. it has boundaries and limits] it is impermissible that a
person worships by any method except by what Allah has legislated.
So the acts of worship are "Tauqifiyah" upon what was brought with the Messengers
upon them peace and salutationshence the wisdom behind the sending of the
messengers is so that they can make clear how to worship their Lord (i.e. Allah) and
prohibit the people from Shirk and Disbelieving in Allah .

Pages: 35-36
On the 13
th
Ramadan 1429H

This is the duty of the messengerspeace and salutations be upon thembecause of
this the Prophet said:

"Whoever performs a deed not from our affair [i.e. Islam] then it is rejected."

So worship is "Tauqifiyah" and innovation is rejected, superstition is rejected, blind
following is disregarded; you the modes of worship shouldn't be taken unless it is from
the legislation in which came with the Messenger.

)) : ((
The author's statementmay Allah have mercy on him:
"Rather Allah has sent to us a messenger."
Who is Muhammad the seal of the prophets, Allah had sent him in order to clarify to
us why we were created; making clear to us how we are to worship Allah , prohibiting
us from Shirk, Disbelief, and Disobedience.

Pages: 35-36
On the 13

Ramadan 1429H

This is the duty of the Messenger to bring the clear message, fulfill the trust, advising
the Ummah , clarifying and making it manifest; He left us upon the clear path, its
night is like its day, no one deviates from it except that he is destroyed. This is similar to
what is in the statement of Allah :

"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon
you, and have chosen for you Islm as your religion."
[Al Maidah 5:3]

)) ((
"So whoever obeys him (i.e. the Messenger ) will
enter paradise, and whoever disobeys him will enter
the Hellfire."

Explanation:
)) : ((
The author states: "Whoever obeys him"
Meaning, regarding whatever he commands (you) with; the person will enter paradise.

Pages: 36-37
On the 13
th
Ramadan 1429H

)) : ((
The author states: "and whoever disobeys him."

Meaning, regarding whatever he prohibits (you) from, the person will enter the
Hellfire. And this confirmation (of obeying the messenger) is abundant throughout the
Qur'an, Allah says:
{ F E DC B A z
"He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad, has indeed obeyed Allh."
[An Nisaa' 4:80]

And Allah says:
{ _ _ __ _ \) z
"We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allh's Leave."
[An Nisaa' 4:64]

Pages: 36-37
On the 13

And Allah says:
{ S RQ z
"If you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance."
[An-Nur 24:54]
And Allah says:
{ z
"And obey the Messenger (Muhammad) that you may receive mercy (from
Allh)."
[An-Nur 24:56]

So whoever obeys the Messenger he is guided and will enter paradise; and whoever
disobeys him he is misguided and will enter the hellfire, the Prophet said:
)) . :
: (( .
"All of you will enter paradise save whoever refuses, they said: O' Messenger of
Allahwho will refuse? He said: "Whoever obeys me will enter paradise and
whoever disobeys me has indeed refused."
[Bukhari #7280 hadith of Abi Hurairah]

Pages: 36-37
On the 13
th
Ramadan 1429H

The messenger's statement "he refused" means he refused to enter paradise.

And the Prophet said:
))
(( .
"Not a Jew or Christian will hear of me, afterwards not believing in that which I
came with except that he will enter the Hellfire."
[Muslim # 153 hadith of Abi Hurairah]

So whoever obeys him will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys him will enter the
Hellfire; this is the distinction between the "Mu'min" [i.e. the Believer] and the "Kafir"
[i.e. the Disbeliever].

As-Shafee', May Allah have mercy upon him, said:
"Had Allah not sent down evidence upon His creation
except this Surah, Indeed it would suffice them."
Explanation
)) : ((
His statement: as-Shafee'

He was the Imam Muhammad bin Idrees as-Shafee', his named was traced to his
grandfather whose name was Shafee' who was from the Quraysh, who was from Bani
Multalib. Imam Shafee' passed away in 204 after hijrah and he was one of the four
Imams.

He said in this statement, that Allah had made within this surah the means for obtaining
wretchedness and the means for obtaining happiness. Therefore the means of obtaining
happiness is that the person ascribe (himself) with these four qualities: religious
knowledge, action, propagation of the religion [i.e. calling], and patience upon the harm
in the path of Allah .
So the evidence [i.e. Hujjah] has been established from Allah upon His creation by way
of this surah. It is though Allah said to the creation: "Verily I have made clear to you the
means of obtaining happiness within this short, concise surah."
All of the Qur'an and the Sunnah both elaborate on these four matters; however this
surah clarifies the means for obtaining happiness concisely. Hence establishing the
evidence over the creation and the remaining text from the Qur'an and the Sunnah
expound and illustrate these four matters.
The meaning of as-Shafee' statement isn't that this surah suffices Mankind, had Allah
not sent down other than that surah; however the surah establishes an evidence over
them, because Allah had made clear within the surah the means for obtaining happiness
and the means for obtaining wretchedness.
So no person will say on the last Day: "I wasn't aware of the means for obtaining
happiness and I didn't know the means for obtaining wretchedness, although he read this
short, concise surah.

:
"Acting with it (i.e. knowledge)".
Explanation:
)) : ((
The author's statement: "acting with it."
Meaning, with religious knowledge, that is because, knowledge, it is not sufficient that a
man teaches and acquires knowledge; rather he must act upon his knowledge. Hence 'Ilm
[i.e. knowledge] without action it is merely an evidence against the person. So knowledge
doesn't become beneficial unless it is accompanied by action. As for whoever learns and
doesn't act upon that, then this incurs (Allah) anger upon himbecause he is aware of
the truth and abandons it upon clear sightedness. The Poet said:

"And a scholar with his knowledge who hasn't acted upon (it) is
chastised before the idol worshippers."


Page: 19-20
On the 16
th
Ramadan 1429H

This is mentioned in the Noble Hadith:

"Indeed of the first to be burned in the hellfire on the Last Day is A'lim [i.e.
learned person/scholar] who didn't act upon his knowledge."
[At-Tirmidhi #2382 hadith of Abu Hurairah]

Knowledge is connected to action, and action is the fruit [i.e. results] of knowledge,
hence knowledge without action is similar to a tree without any fruit, there is no benefit
in it; and knowledge was merely revealed [i.e. sent down] for the purpose of
implementation.
Just like action without knowledge is grave and misguidance is upon the person, and
when the person acts without knowledge, then his actions become a burden and tiring
upon the person, the Prophet said:

"Whoever does an action that isn't from our affair [i.e. the religion of Islam]
then it is rejected."
[Bukhari #7350 & Muslim vol.18 #1718 hadith of 'Ayesha]

And for this reason we recite in Surah Fatiha throughout every unit of prayer [i.e.
Raka']:
{ a` _ ^ ]\ [ Z YX W
dc b z
"Guide us to the Straight Way, The Way of those on whom You have bestowed
Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews),
nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians)."
[Fatiha 1:5-7]

Thus Allah has called those who act without knowledge misguided/astray, and those
who learn but don't act upon that knowledge Allah's wrath is upon themSo we
should be mindful of that, for indeed this matter is very important.
