The Story of Mūsā and al-Khiḍr: The Limits of Intellect Before Divine Revelation

One of the clearest demonstrations that human reason cannot independently and infallibly determine the complete moral and legal status of every particular act is found in the Qur’ānic account of Mūsā and al-Khiḍr. Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī himself establishes an important epistemological principle when discussing the limitations of human intellects: “The fundamental principle is that intellects are finite creations which fall short of comprehending the totality of things, and understandings are deficient in attaining the ultimate reality of matters.… Whoever seeks to comprehend them, or to attain the wisdom of Lordship without an indication from Him, wrongs the intellect and burdens it with that which he knows it is incapable of.” — al-Māturīdī, Taʾwīlāt Ahl al-Sunna, vol. 4, p. 457. This principle becomes particularly evident in the story of Mūsā and al-Khiḍr. When al-Khiḍr killed the boy, Mūsā immediately objected: “Have you killed an innocent soul without [its having killed] anothe...

Anti ibn Taymiyyah scans

Taymiyyah Ibn Taymiyyah quoted Darimi: "If Allah willed He could have settled on the back of a mosquito, and it would have carried him." But i thought his size was very big is he small now?   Ibn Taymiyyah quoted Darimi: "Whoever claims that Allah has no limit has indeed rejected the Quran." So anyone who denies that Allah is confined or trapped in a place is a kafir?   Ibn Taymiyyah quoted Darimi: "Allah has a limit and we leave it's knowledge to him and his makan (place) also has a limit so these are two limits." So the creator of all worlds is limited and trapped inside a place he himself created?   Kufr of Ibn Taymiyyah the 'Intelligent': "Hellfire is not eternal it is temporary and there is no definitive text in the Qur’an indicating that Hellfire will not perish....

Regarding Murshids

 The Murshid (Shaykh) is the ladder to the Heavens; How else does the arrow fly, if not from the Bow? -By Jalaluddin Rumi "The Shaykh is the ladder to Heaven...Meaning: The Shaykh is the ladder and the means of ascension. The seeker is like an arrow, and the Shaykh is like the bow. Just as the arrow only flies high and hits the mark when released by the strength of the bow, the seeker only ascends through the spiritual "Himma" (resolve/power) of his Shaykh. If you enter under the will of a Perfect Shaykh, you will reach a station that a thousand years of unguided worship could never attain." (Sharh Mathnawi)

Qur’an 16:48 and Modern Science

 Qur'an 16:48 and Modern Science: “Have they not considered how the shadows of everything Allah has created incline to the right and the left, prostrating to Allah in humility?” This verse literally describes a daily physical phenomenon: the movement of shadows across the Earth’s surface. Modern astronomy, geometry, and optics provided a detailed explanation of this process.  When examined carefully, the wording corresponds totally with how shadows behave in reality 1. The Physics of Shadow Formation A shadow forms when an opaque object blocks light from a source. In the case of Earth, the primary light source is the Sun. The position and length of a shadow depend on: the height of the object the angle of incoming sunlight the position of the observer When the Sun moves across the sky, the angle θ constantly changes, causing the shadow to continuously shift position. This stuff produces the observable phenomenon mentioned in the verse: shadows inclining from one side to anothe...

Explanation of free will

 1. The Core Distinction: Creator vs. Acquirer The first step is to establish that every action has two "facets." Allah is the Creator (Khāliq) of the action because only He can bring something from non-existence into existence. However, the human is the Acquirer (Kāsib). The Analogy: When a slave expends their power and will toward an action, that is kasb. When Allah brings that action into existence following that intent, that is khalq. The Ruling: Praise, blame, reward, and punishment are attached to the Acquisition, not the creation. Allah creates the "movement," but the human provides the "intent" (e.g., the hand's movement is created by God, but the choice to use it for charity or theft belongs to the human). 2. The "Partial Will": Where Freedom Lives A common question is: "If God created my will, how am I free?" The answer lies in the Partial Will (al-irāda al-juz’iyya) or Sincere Resolve (‘azm muṣammam), We distinguish betw...

Refutation of Shia Belief

 As per shia belief giving power (Sultah) to someone who is not from Ahlul Bayt or someone who is a criminal and a tyrant is a huge sin (tbh lowkey impossible as they call their Imams angels) “مشهورا بالعلم، والاجتهاد، والورع… ومنابذة أعداء الله الظالمين… والرأفة والرحمة… فإذا كان مشهورا بذلك… وجبت طاعته” (Majmūʿ al-Imām al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad 1/284) “الجامع… الهادي… الناهض بنشر أعلام الشريعة”  (Al-Imām al-Ṣādiq 1/64) "If Muʿāwiyah were (God forbid) a kafir, sinful tyrant, or unjust usurper, then the blame would fall upon Imam Hasan for entrusting the affairs of the Muslims to such a person willingly and without compulsion."  (IARK said this)  hadith from bukhari: “This son of mine is a leader, and Allah will reconcile through him two great groups of Muslims.”  If he was a tyrant or a kafir then this hadith is proving that rafidi belief wrong because the words are pretty clear here both groups are muslim groups And even as per sh'ites this would have been a great ...

Question and answer regarding something

 The Question Zaid claims: Apart from having a Leader (Peshwa) and a Sheikh, counting the rosary (Tasbeeh) and reciting Salawat (Durood) or litanies (Wazifa) is equivalent to wasting one’s life. Bakr states: "I am not pledged (Bay'ah) to any person. I pray, I fast, and I accept the rulings of the Noble Shariah, the Glorious Quran, and whatever the Scholars of Religion say as the truth. However, I am not a disciple (Mureed) of any specific Peer or Faqir, though I do not consider becoming a disciple as something bad." The Conflict: According to Zaid’s statement, in this scenario, no worship of any kind performed by Bakr is accepted in the Court of the Almighty. All of Bakr’s worship is wasted because he is without a disciplehood. Greeting Bakr is deemed impermissible, he is considered expelled from the circle of Islam, and he will be resurrected with the faction of devils. In this situation, what should Bakr do? The Answer The Sheikh—meaning the Murshid (Spiritual Guide), t...

Importance of murshid

Ahmed-i Zerrûk said:  "Fasting and nocturnal prayers, though voluntary, if done without conforming to the advice and instruction of the spiritual guide (Murshid) are ineffective, even if performed more frequently than what the guide advises" Yahyâ bin Muâz stated that "Whoever attains the company (sohbetine kavuşan) of the saints is rescued from the hands of Satan" A fully qualified guide is called a Murshid-i kâmil (perfected guide). Saints have described that no one can actually lift the veil and reach Allah without a murshid everyone had one during the old times and was more easy to find great murshids even IT had in his life. Saints have described him as someone who cures the heart and his spiritual authority is that he just puts his gaze on someone and that person's life changes some become Saints just by his gaze. Imam Ghazali said in inhya 43 page i think: "Imagine the maqam of the one who himself has reached Allah and also take others towards Allah....

People who don't have murshid

Baba Feriduddin Genc-i Seker gives the following advice on this subject: "If a person does not have a spiritual guide to guide him (to show him the right path), he should read the books of great people (Ahl as-Sunnah scholars) and follow them." Ali ibn Maymun said: "If one cannot find a murshid then try to learn the blessed lives of the Messenger of Allah, his Companions (Eshâb), the Successors (Tâbiîn), and the great figures who follow their path from the scholars. Walk in their way."
