Abu Jahl the loser

-
Once the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prostrated, Abu Jahl (LA) picked up a stone and approached him. But when he got close, he turned back, terrified and pale, his hands dried on the stone until he dropped it. The men of Quraysh came to him and said: "What's wrong with you, O Abu al-Hakam?" He said: I went up to him to do what I told you yesterday, but as I approached him, a male camel appeared in front of me. By God, I have never seen a head like his, nor a neck or tusks like his for any male camel. He was about to devour me. Abu Jahl's heroism was imaginary, and his boasting of threats was sophistical. It wasn't just once that he retreated, but many times, as narrated by the author of "Al-Halabiya" and Ibn Kathir in the biography, including: Al-Araashi, a man from the tribe of Khath'am, sold camels to Abu Jahl, who then delayed payment. The Quraysh directed him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, knowing Abu Jahl's intense enmity towards the message and its bearer, peace and blessings be upon him. When Al-Araashi explained his situation to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he went with him to ensure he received his due from Abu Jahl. When he knocked on Abu Jahl's door, Abu Jahl came out with a pale face, as if he were dust-colored, which is a yellowish hue with dullness. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "Give this man his right." Abu Jahl replied, "Yes, do not leave until I give him what is his." And he handed it over to him. Abu Jahl (LA) whenever he intended to hurt or insult Rasul Allah ﷺ Allah (SWT) always helped his Prophet ﷺ and made Abu Jahl afraid so much that he would start trembling. The one who used to make bold claims infront of the kuffar and the muhsriks would start sweating after seeing Rasul Allah ﷺ.

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...

Iʿlām al-muwaqqiʿīn ʿan rabb al-ʿālamīn (311)

-
Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Qayyim (RA) said: "A large heart can contain great knowledge just as a large valley can hold a large amount of water; and a small heart can contain knowledge only in proportion to its capacity, just as a small valley holds a small amount of water. The valleys flow according to their size, and hearts receive guidance and knowledge according to their capacity. Just as when the floodwater mixes with the earth and passes over it, it carries with it chaff and foam, so too does guidance and knowledge, when mixed with the hearts, stir up the desires and doubts therein to uproot and remove them. This is like medicine which, when drunk, stirs up the humors (akhlaṭ) of the body, causing the drinker to feel discomfort for a while."

The Definition of Fiṭrah. Is Fiṭrah Islam?

-
Fiṭrah ≠ fully-formed Islamic creed. Fiṭrah = an innate disposition toward tawḥīd, recognition of a Creator, and basic moral truths. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Every child is born upon the fiṭrah, but it is his parents who make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) Imam Ghazali (rh) said: “Fitrah inclines toward affirmation, but without proof it may also incline toward falsehood. Thus proofs are necessary to separate truth from falsehood.” The fiṭrah gives them the innate pull toward tawḥīd. The revelation tells them how to worship properly, who Allah truly is, and what false beliefs to reject. Without revelation, fiṭrah could lead someone to vague deism, sun worship, or pantheism. That’s why the Qur’an criticizes the mushrikīn for their wrong acts man, And regarding this fitrah argument this comes in my mind: If Muslims are only upon fiṭrah, then what’s the need for Qur’an, Sunnah, and Prophets? Are Hindus and Christians also valid if they claim their fiṭrah led them to the...
