24th November 2015. Introduction

The names of Allah are the most beautiful that we can learn in our life. We must understand the Names of Allah so that we know how to react in every situation in our life. This knowledge will increase us in Tawheed and increase our piety. When Allah made adam the angels commented but then the angels said that Allah you are perfect and there are no imperfections with Allah. They mentioned that Allah is Muqqadis and the angles are called rooh al Qudoos that is they are also pure. This shows us that we need to negate any bad thought related to Allah and relate all goodness and perfection to Allah. The angels said that Adam will spread blood and create mischief but then immediately they said that Allah is pure when Allah said them that I know which you don’t know. The angels are pure but we humans can easily think negative and we can easily doubt anything. Taqdees Allah is to think good about Allah. Even if you don’t make taqdees of Allah then it doesn’t matter because He is Al Qudoos but if we do it then it is for our purification and it will elevate us. You need to remove any bad thinking about Allah. The two groups: Regarding taqdees people are divided into two groups: Laa uqadooson Allah: These are people who do not do the taqdees of Allah. This is majority of the people. They think bad about Allah. This can happen to anyone of us like we might slip into doing this. When you think good about yourself then automatically you will start to think bad about Allah. In the time of affliction you will start to think bad about Allah that why did this happen to me although it is Qadr of Allah. Yuqadisoon Allah: People who do Taqdees of Allah. They are minority and we want to be with them. These people think good about Allah and they think bad about themselves. Like Zakariya (AS) did that He praised Allah but attributed the

faults of himself. In times of goodness you should associate the goodness to Allah and all faults to yourself.

“Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allah other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allah ." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.” (Surah Ale Imran 154) The kafir and the unafiq will always think bad about Allah and they can never think good about Allah. In the ghazwa uhud the sahaba didn’t obey Nabi (SAW) and Allah gave the sahabas sadness over sadness. They were unable to sleep but Allah gave them sleep to reset their system. But the munafiqeen were not able to sleep. They were thinking bad about Allah and thinking good about themselves so they were now tensed and not able to sleep. Allah knows all that we have in our heart. The taqdees is in our heart so Allah can see the heart and he knows whatever is in the heart. Allah gave the believer a peace and security and they slept. Initially they were all tensed and sad but then Allah gave the believer sleep only. From the appearance everybody seems to be the same but Allah knew what is in their heart. If you don’t believe in Allah then you will think bad about Him. Allah said that whoever believes Allah is with them and that victory will only be for the believers. The munafiqeen’s

concern was just themselves and they wanted to be safe themselves. When you see the worst situations in your life you should still think the best about Allah. The one who is jahil and they don’t have any knowledge then they cant think good about Allah. They will automatically think the worse about Allah. If the people know about Allah they will not talk about their problems rather they will talk about the blessing of Allah. Munafiqeen have knowledge of Allah but they are still thinking bad about Allah because they are negative and the knowledge doesn’t reach their heart. If you see a friend and they do something wrong you will not think bad about them immediately. When you think good about people so how can you think bad about Allah. When something is in your heart it will ultimately come on your tongue. The Munafiqs now started to say that where is the victory and they started to doubt and they started to blame each other. We think good for ourself that’s why we blame others. When we blame each other and not see our own mistakes it will cause distress to our ownself. Instead of helping each other we start to blame each other. The munafiqs don’t reflect on themselves. Allah is telling Nabi (Sallelaho alehe wassalam) that you should not think that they are blaming you. All the matters are belonging to Allah alone and not anyone else. The munafiqs are trying to say that if we took our opinion we would have suggested something better however this is not going to benefit anymore and it would not make a difference now rather it will create bad feelings. We should not use the words if or buts. Only if Allah wants then it will happen not that if we did this or that. They tried to play with the decree of Allah however Allah says this matter is with Allah. Allah says that even if these people are in their home they would have died and you could not prevent their death in any way. Allah mentions that the situation was meant to happen like this and this is being said out of ignorance. There are two actions of Allah one is Ibtilaa and another is tamshees. Allah says in Surah Baqarah that do you think that you will go to jannah without being tested. Another is where it says that there will be test of your sudoor. This is to check the amount of faith you have in your heart and the amount of hypocrisy is there in your heart. The good and bad will be tested. Allah will see and examine how much the shaitan and your nafs has influenced you. You will see the reality of people on the time of test and how they react to the tests.

When you know the disbelief then you put it aside then you will bring the belief with thinking good about Allah. In problems we have soo much barakah than the good times. When you are in hardship you will make more duas and be more connected to Allah and hence gain soo many rewards. You will ask forgiveness for your sins. Allah says that the munafiqs act like ignorant people and they feel bad about Allah and they are anyways thinking bad in any case. They think that Allah will forgive me and at the same time they are deceiving Allah. To think bad about Allah is not something very small. May Allah protect us from Nifaq. Nifaq is so easy and it can come easily. They are the ones who talk a lot in the time of their problem as we see in Quran. So talking about you problems in a negative way is a trait of munafiq.

Allah promised us that if you have belief then you will gain victory from Allah. The munafiqs still had very negative thinking about Allah and they talked negatively that this will happen or that will happen. They even said that Prophet will die or something bad will happen as they were being negative about the future. This bad thinking was being beautified in the hearts of the munafiqs. They were thinking that the prophet will not come back and this bad thought was a good feeling in their heart. The solution is to think good about Allah, everyone else and the future but think bad about yourself. You have to think of this as an exam.
