RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON

By retracing our life, we start with understanding
our basic nature as a human being - having
inherent powers and their potentialities to be
developed.

In our relationship regarding our Education – we
are to encounter, i.e. assisted by our educators -

with what is referred to as, “knowledge”.



Yet, we are born helpless and have to be cared,
nurtured, to be inculcated with discipline, taught and
developed by a Murabbi’ (EDUCATOR) – the first of
whom are our PARENTS.

• Thus it must not be mere learning of subjects but must have
specific objectives i.e. towards fulfilment of obligations which has
to be carried out in our Being (thoughts, words and deeds).
• This obligations are dependent upon our situation and state of
Being (spiritual station – ‘HAAL’ or ‘MAQOM’).
• The quantum may be increased and more important, the quality of
being in a particular state - may always change, increase/decrease.
• An important bestowal that we seek from Allah in this pursuit
towards excellence is “ISTIQOMAH ” – when Allah grant us firmness
in our station thus attained.


• It begins with the most basic state of Islam (submission), which one
gradually progresses towards higher stations, culminating with
TAQWA – the state which Allah distinguishes difference in nobility
amongst mankind.
• And the reality (HAQIQAH) of our existence is that we are tested in
matter of our relationships – from inner to outer, from creations to
the Creator, from self to family, to neighbours, to society, to
nations, to world and beyond – from the world to the Hereafter,
etc.
• And it requires our adherence to a single consciousness – within a
TAUHEEDIC worldview – without ever being disloyal or false to our
claim of being Witnesses to Allah’s Absolute Oneness and gratefully
acknowledging His Compassionate Justice (QISTw).

“Allah (SHAHIDA) witnesses that there is no deity except Him,
and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is]
maintaining [creation] in justice (QISTw). There is no deity
except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is AL-ISLAM. And those
who were given the Scripture did not differ except after
knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity
between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of
Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 18-19)


• These, on the following charts, are the general overview of
whom we need to relate with our “ADAB” to – while we are in
this world. To know their places and accord them their due.
• It is suggested that for which ever lessons, mind-map should be
drawn and annotated wherever relevant as we go along. The
subject matter may seem disparate, but actually they are
interconnected wholistically – i.e. connected to the Divine Plan.
For “we are in the world but not of this world.”
• WaAllaahu a’lam.

Say: “Have you ever considered [this]: If Allah had willed that there
should always be night about you, without break, until the Day of
Resurrection - is there any deity other than Allah that could bring
you light? Will you not, then, listen [to the truth]?”
(Qur’an: Qasas: 28: 71)

Say: “Have you ever considered [this]: If Allah had willed that there
should always be daylight about you, without break, until the Day
of Resurrection - is there any deity other than Allah that could
bring you [the darkness of] night, wherein you might rest? Will you
not, then, see [the truth]?””

“For it is out of His grace that He has made for you the night and
the day, so that you might rest therein as well as seek to obtain
[what you need] of His bounty: and [He gave you all this] so that
you might have cause to be grateful.”


“[NOW,] BEHOLD, Qarun was one of the people of Moses;
but he arrogantly exalted himself above them - simply
because We had granted him such riches that his treasure-
chests alone would surely have been too heavy a burden
for a troop of ten men or even more. When [they perceived
his arrogance,] his people said unto him: “Exult not [in thy
wealth], for, verily, Allah does not love those who exult [in
things vain]!”


“Seek instead, by means of what Allah has granted
thee, [the good of] the life to come, without forgetting,
withal, thine own [rightful] share in this world; and do
good [unto others] as Allah has done good unto thee;
and seek not to spread corruption on earth: for, verily,
Allah does not love the spreaders of corruption!””


“SUCH of the believers as remain passive - other than the
disabled - cannot be deemed equal to those who strive hard
in Allah's cause with their possessions and their lives: Allah
has exalted those who strive hard with their possessions and
their lives far above those who remain passive. Although
Allah has promised the ultimate good unto all [believers],
yet has Allah exalted those who strive hard above those who
remain passive by [promising them] a mighty reward -”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 95)

“O YOU who have attained to faith! Be true to
your covenants! Lawful to you is the [flesh of
every] beast that feeds on plants, save what is
mentioned to you [hereinafter]: but you are not
allowed to hunt while you are in the state of
pilgrimage. Behold, Allah ordains in accordance
with His will.”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 1)


“BEHOLD, Allah bids you to deliver all that
you have been entrusted with unto those
who are entitled thereto, and whenever you
judge between people, to judge with justice.
Verily, most excellent is what Allah exhorts
you to do: verily, Allah is all-hearing, all-
seeing!”


“O you who have attained to faith! Pay heed
(obey) unto Allah, and pay heed (obey) unto the
Messenger and unto those from among you who
have been entrusted with authority; and if you are
at variance over any matter, refer it unto Allah and
the Messenger, if you [truly] believe in Allah and
the Last Day. This is the best [for you], and best in
the end.”


“And nothing is the life of this world but a play and
a passing delight; and the life in the hereafter is by
far the better for all who are conscious of Allah.
Will you not, then, use your reason?”
(Qur’an: An-’am: 6: 32)


“Well do We know that what such people say grieves
thee indeed: yet, behold, it is not thee to whom they
give the lie, but Allah’s messages do these evildoers
deny.”
(Qur’an: An-’am: 6: 33)

“And, indeed, [even] before thy time have messengers
been given the lie, and they endured with patience all
those charges of falsehood, and all the hurt done to
them, till succour came unto them from Us: for there is
no power that could alter [the outcome of] Allah's
promises. And some of the histories of those
messengers have already come within thy ken.”
(Qur’an: An-’am: 6: 34)

“ALLURING unto man is the enjoyment of worldly
desires through women, and children, and heaped-
up treasures of gold and silver, and horses of high
mark, and cattle, and lands.
All this may be enjoyed in the life of this world - but
the most beauteous of all goals is with Allah.”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 14)


“Say: "Shall I tell you of better things than those
[earthly joys]? For the God-conscious (MUTTAQIN)
there are, with their Sustainer, gardens through
which running waters flow, therein to abide, and
spouses pure, and Allah's goodly acceptance." And
Allah sees all that is in [the hearts of] His servants -.”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 15)


“O MANKIND! Partake of what is lawful and
good on earth (HALALAN-TOYYIBATAN), and
follow not Satan's footsteps: for, verily, he is
your open foe, and bids you only to do evil, and
to commit deeds of abomination, and to
attribute unto Allah something of which you
have no knowledge.”
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 168-169)


“LET IT NOT deceive thee that those who are bent on
denying the truth seem to be able to do as they please on
earth: it is [but] a brief enjoyment, with hell thereafter as
their goal - and how vile a resting place! -”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 196-197)


“Work for your worldly needs, as though you are going
to live forever, and strive (also to prepare) for your
Hereafter, as though you are going to die tomorrow.”

(Hadith reported by Baihaqy)


“What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered
you [to do], do as much of it as you can. It was only their
excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their
Prophets that destroyed those who came before you.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)


“O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not devour
one another's possessions wrongfully - not even by
way of trade based on mutual agreement - and do
not destroy one another: for, behold, Allah is
indeed a dispenser of grace unto you!
And as for him who does this with malicious intent
and a will to do wrong - him shall We, in time,
cause to endure [suffering through] fire: for this is
indeed easy for Allah.”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 29-30)


“There will come a time for mankind (in future),
when they (people) will not care how they work (to
get their wealth), whether it is Halal (through legal
means) or Haram (through illicit ways)”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary and an-Nasa-i)


“Verily, the flesh and blood which grew from partaking
food which are Haram (forbidden) will never enter the
Paradise. The fire (of Hell) is most appropriate for
such.”

(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi and Ibnu Hibban)


“O you who have attained to faith! Partake of the good
things (TOYYIBAT) which We have provided for you as
sustenance, and render thanks unto Allah (SHUKRULLAH), if
it is [truly] Him that you worship. He has forbidden to you
only carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that
over which any name other than Allah's has been invoked;
but if one is driven by necessity - neither coveting it nor
exceeding his immediate need -no sin shall be upon him: for,
behold, Allah is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.”
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 172-173)


Say: "Verily, my Sustainer has forbidden only
shameful deeds (FAWAHISHA), be they open or
secret, and [every kind of] sinning (ITHMI), and
unjustified envy (BAGHY), and the ascribing of
divinity to aught beside Him (SHIRK) - since He
has never bestowed any warrant thereof from
on high and the attributing unto Allah of aught
of which you have no knowledge.“
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 33)
