AN AYAH A DAY
    
      LESSON 8

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

THE MEANING OF “ALLAH” 
Allah is the Name of the Lord, the Exalted. It is said that Allah is the Greatest Name of Allah SWT, because it is referred to when describing Allah SWT by the various attributes.

For instance, Allah SWT said,  (He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa, the King, the Holy, the One free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the Almighty, the Wise) (59:22-24).

Hence, Allah SWT mentioned several of His Names as Attributes for His Name Allah. Similarly, Allah said  (And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah SWT, so call on Him by them) (7:180),and,

 (Say (O Muhammad 🙂 “Invoke Allah or invoke the Most Gracious (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names.”) (17:110)

Also, the Two Sahihs recorded that Abu Hurayrah (RA) said that the Messenger of Allah ( SAW) said, (Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred minus one, whoever counts (and preserves) them, will enter Paradise.)

THE MEANING OF AR RAHMAN AND AR RAHEEM-THE MOST GRACIOUS , THE MOST MERCIFUL

🔹Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim are two names derived from Ar-Rahmah (the mercy), but Rahman has more meanings that pertain to mercy than Ar-Rahim. Further, Al-Qurtubi said, “The proof that these names are derived (from Ar-Rahmah), is what At-Tirmidhi recorded – and graded Sahih that he heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say,

  (Allah the Exalted said, ‘I Am Ar-Rahman. I created the Raham (womb, i.e. family relations) and derived a name for it from My Name. Hence, whoever keeps it, I will keep ties to him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him.’)

🔹Ar-Rahman, which is exclusively for Allah, is a name that encompasses every type of mercy that Allah has. Ar-Rahim is what effects the believers, for Allah SWT said, (And He is ever Rahim (merciful) to the believers.)’ (33:43)

Ibn `Abbas RA said – about Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, `They are two soft names, one of them is softer than the other (meaning it carries more implications of mercy).”’

 🔹He is Ar-Rahman with all creation and Ar-Rahim with the believers.” Hence. Allah’s statements, (Then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne (in a manner that suits His majesty), Ar-Rahman) (25:59 and,

 (Ar-Rahman (Allah) rose over (Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His majesty).) (20:5)

🔹Allah SWT thus mentioned the Istawa – rising over the Throne – along with His Name Ar-Rahman, to indicate that His mercy encompasses all of His creation.

🔹Allah SWT also said, (And He is ever Rahim (merciful) to the believers), thus encompassing the believers with His Name Ar-Rahim. They said, “This testifies to the fact that Ar-Rahman carries a broader scope of meanings pertaining to the mercy of Allah with His creation in both lives. Meanwhile, Ar-Rahim is exclusively for the believers.

🔹Allah’s Name Ar-Rahman is exclusively His. For instance, Allah SWT said, (Say (O Muhammad ): “Invoke Allah or invoke Ar-Rahman (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names) (17:110),) and,

(And ask (O Muhammad ) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: “Did We ever appoint alihah (gods) to be worshipped besides Ar-Rahman (Most Gracious, Allah)”) (43:45).

🔹Therefore, Allah SWT first mentioned His Name – Allah – that is exclusively His and described this Name by Ar-Rahman, which no one else is allowed to use.

As for Allah’s Name Ar-Rahim, Allah has described others by it. For instance, Allah SWT said, (Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad ) from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad ) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided) for the believers (he is) kind (full of pity), and Rahim (merciful)) (9:128).

🔹Allah has also described some of His creation using some of His other Names. For instance, Allah SWT said, (Verily, We have created man from Nutfah (drops) of mixed semen (sexual discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer (Sami`) and seer (Basir) (76:2).

In conclusion, there are several of Allah’s Names that are used as names for others besides Allah. Further, some of Allah’s Names are exclusive for Allah alone, such as Allah, Ar-Rahman, Al-Khaliq (the Creator), Ar-Raziq (the Sustainer), and so forth.

🔹Hence, Allah started the Tasmiyah (meaning, `In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful’) with His Name, Allah, and described Himself as Ar-Rahman, (Most Gracious) which is softer and more general than Ar-Rahim. The most honorable Names are mentioned first, just as Allah did here.

And Allah Knows Best.

AN AYAH A DAY
    
      LESSON 7⃣

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

♻BISMILLAH IS THE FIRST AYAH OF AL-FATIHAH

🏼The Companions started the Book of Allah with Bismillah:

 ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـن الرَّحِيمِ ﴾

(1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.)

 🔹The opinion that Bismillah is an Ayah of every Surah, except Al-Bara’ah (chapter 9), was attributed to the Companions.

🔹In Sahih Al-Bukhari it is recorded that Anas bin Malik (RA) was asked about the recitation of the Prophet (SAW). He said, “His recitation was unhurried.” He then demonstrated that and recited, while lengthening the recitation of Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim.

🔹It is recorded that Umm Salamah (RA) said, “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to distinguish each Ayah during his recitation,

🔹Also, the Two Sahihs recorded that Anas bin Malik (RA) said, “I prayed behind the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) , Abu Bakr (RA), `Umar (RA) and `Uthman (RA) and they used to start their prayer with,

﴿الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ ﴾ 
(All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.)

🔹Muslim added, “And they did not mention, 
﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾

 (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) whether in the beginning or the end of the recitation.These are the opinions held by the respected Imams, and their statements are similar in that they agree that the prayer of those who recite Al-Fatihah aloud or in secret is correct. All the favor is from Allah.

♻BISMALAH IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE PERFORMING ANY DEED

🔹Bismalah (reciting Bismillah) is recommended before starting any action or deed. For instance, Bismalah is recommended before starting a Khutbah (speech). The Basmalah is also recommended before one enters the place where he wants to relieve himself, there is a Hadith concerning this practice. Further, Bismalah is recommended at the beginning of ablution. Also, the Bismalah is recommended before eating, for Muslim recorded in his Sahih that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to `Umar bin Abi Salamah (RA) while he was a child under his care,(Say Bismillah, eat with your right hand and eat from whatever is next to you.) Some of the scholars stated that Bismalah before eating is obligatory.

 🔹Bismalah before having sexual intercourse is also recommended. The Two Sahihs recorded that Ibn `Abbas (RA) said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

بِسْمِ اللهِ اللَهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا،فَإنَّهُ إِنْ يُقَدَّرْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَبَدًا» 

(If anyone of you before having sexual relations with his wife says, ‘In the Name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you grant us (meaning the coming offspring) from Satan,’ and if it is destined that they should have a child then, Satan will never be able to harm that child.)

And Allah knows Best.

      LESSON 6⃣

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

🔹WHY THE DEVIL IS CALLED SHAYTAN⤵

♻In the Arabic language, Shaytan is derived from Shatana, which means the far thing. Hence, the Shaytan has a different nature than mankind, and his sinful ways are far away from every type of righteousness.

♻It was also said that Shaytan is derived from Shata, (literally `burned’), because it was created from fire.

♻Some scholars said that both meanings are correct, although they state that the first meaning is more plausible.

The Arabs say, `So-and-so has Tashaytan,’ when he commits the act of the devils. If Shaytan was derived from Shata, they would have said, Tashayyata (rather than Tashaytan).”

 ♻Hence, Shaytan is derived from the word that means, far away. This is why they call those who are rebellious (or mischievous) from among the Jinns and mankind a `Shaytan’.

Allah (SWT) said, (And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies ـ Shayatin (devils) among mankind and Jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception)) (6:112).

The Musnad by Imam Ahmad records that Abu Dharr (RA) said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)  said, (O Abu Dharr! Seek refuge with Allah from the devils of mankind and the Jinns.) Abu Dharr (RA) said, “I asked him , `Are there human devils’ He said, (Yes.)”

🏼Furthermore, it is recorded in Sahih Muslim that Abu Dharr (RA) said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, (The woman, the donkey and the black dog interrupt the prayer (if they pass in front of those who do not pray behind a Sutrah, i.e. a barrier).) Abu Dharr (RA) said, “I said, `What is the difference between the black dog and the red or yellow dog’ He said, (The black dog is a devil.).”

THE MEANING OF AR-RAJIM⤵

Ar-Rajim means, being expelled from all types of righteousness. Allah SWT said,  (And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps Rujuman (as missiles) to drive away the Shayatin (devils)) (67:5).

Allah SWT also said,  (Verily, We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty). And to guard against every rebellious devil. They cannot listen to the higher group (angels) for they are pelted from every side. Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment. Except such as snatch away something by stealing, and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness) (37:6-10).

Further, Allah SWT said, (And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders. And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every Shaytan Rajim (outcast Shaytan). Except him (devil) who steals the hearing then he is pursued by a clear flaming fire.) (15:16-18).

LESSON 5⃣

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

🔹WHAT DOES ISTI’ADHAH MEAN⤵

🏼Isti`adhah means, “I seek refuge with Allah SWT from the cursed Satan so that he is prevented from affecting my religious or worldly affairs, or hindering me from adhering to what I was commanded, or luring me into what I was prohibited from.” Indeed, only Allah is able to prevent the evil of Satan from touching the son of Adam. This is why Allah allowed us to be lenient and kind with the human devil, so that his soft nature might cause him to refrain from the evil he is indulging in.

 🏼However, Allah SWT required us to seek refuge with Him from the evil of Satan, because he neither accepts bribes nor does kindness affect him, for he is pure evil. Thus, only He Who created Satan is able to stop his evil.

 🏼This meaning is reiterated in only three Ayat in the Qur’an.

 Allah SWT said (Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e. don’t punish them).) (7:199) This is about dealing with human beings.

 He then said in the same Surah, And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytan, then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is Hearing, Knowing (7: 200).)

Allah SWT also said (Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the things they utter. And say: “My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils). And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me.” (23:96-98).)

🏼Further, Allah SWT  said (The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better, then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend. But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient ـ and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter, i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world. And if an evil whisper from Shaytan tries to turn you away (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allah SWT. Verily, He is the Hearing, the Knowing) (41:34-36).

LESSON 4⃣

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

🔹SEEKING REFUGE BEFORE RECITING THE QUR’AN

Allah SWT  said, (So when you ﴿want to﴾ recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from Shaytan, the outcast (the cursed one).) meaning, before you recite the Qur’an.

🔹SEEKING REFUGE WITH ALLAH WHEN ONE IS ANGRY

Al-Bukhari recorded that Sulayman bin Surad (RA) said, “Two men disputed in the presence of the Prophet while we were sitting with him. One of them was cursing the other fellow and his face turned red due to anger. The Prophet ((PBUH) said,

 (I know of a statement which if he said it, will make what he feels disappear, `I seek refuge with Allah from the cursed Satan.’)

They said to the man, `Do you not hear what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is saying’ He said, `I am not insane.”’ .

🔹IS THE ISTI’AADAH (SEEKING REFUGE)REQUIRED⤵

🏼Isti`adhah is required in the prayer and when one reads the Qur’an. In support of the apparent meaning of the Ayah, ﴿فَاسْتَعِذْ﴾ (Then seek refuge.) The Ayah contains a command that requires implementation. Also, the Prophet always said the Isti`adhah.

🏼In addition, the Isti`adhah wards off the evil of Satan, which is neccessary, the rule is that the means needed to implement a requirement of the religion is itself also required. And when one says, “I seek refuge with Allah from the cursed devil.” Then this will suffice.

🔹VIRTUES OF THE ISTI’ADHAH

🏼The Isti`adhah cleanses the mouth from the foul speech that it has indulged in.

🏼It also purifies the mouth and prepares it to recite the speech of Allah.

🏼Further, the Isti`adhah entails seeking Allah’s help and acknowledging His ability to do everything.

🏼The Isti`adhah also affirms the servant’s meekness, weakness and inability to face the enemy of his inner evil, whom Allah alone, Who created this enemy, is able to repel and defeat. This enemy does not accept kindness, unlike the human enemy.

🏼Allah SWT said, (Verily, My servants (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism) ـ you have no authority over them. And sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian.) (17:65).

🏼We should state here that the believers, whom the human enemies kill, become martyrs, while those who fall victim to the inner enemy – Satan – become bandits.

🏼Further, the believers who are defeated by the apparent enemy – disbelievers – gain a reward, while those defeated by the inner enemy earn a sin and become misguided.

🏼Since Satan sees man where man cannot see him, it is befitting that the believers seek refuge from Satan with Whom Satan cannot see. The Isti`adhah is a form of drawing closer to Allah and seeking refuge with Him from the evil of every evil creature.

And Allah Knows Best

LESSON 3⃣

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

THE TAFSIR OF ISTI’ADAH(SEEKING REFUGE)

Allah said,  (Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and stay away from the foolish (i.e. don’t punish them). And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytan (Satan), then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is Hearing, Knowing) (7:199-200),

(Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with things they utter. And say: “My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils). And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me.”) (23:96-98) and,

(Repel (an evil) with one which is better, then verily he with whom there was enmity between you, (will become) as though he was a close friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient ـ and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter, i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world. And if an evil whisper from Shaytan tries to turn you away (O Muhammad ) (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.) (41:34-36)

These are the only three Ayat that carry this meaning. Allah commanded that we be lenient human enemy, so that his soft nature might make him an ally and a supporter. He also commanded that we seek refuge from the satanic enemy, because the devil does not relent in his enmity if we treat him with kindness and leniency. The devil only seeks the destruction of the Son of Adam due to the vicious enmity and hatred he has always had towards man’s father, Adam.

Allah SWT said, (O Children of Adam! Let not Shaytan deceive you, as he got your parents ﴿Adam and Hawwa’ (Eve)﴾ out of Paradise) (7:27),

  (Surely, Shaytan is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire) (35:6)

and, (Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun (polytheists, and wrongdoers, etc)) (18:50).

The devil assured Adam that he wanted to advise him, but he was lying. Hence, how would he treat us after he had vowed,
(“By Your might, then I will surely, mislead them all. Except Your chosen servants among them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).”) (38:82-83)

Also, Allah SWT said,  (So when you ﴿want to﴾ recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from Shaytan, the outcast (the cursed one). Verily, he has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allah). His power is only over those who obey and follow him (Satan), and those who join partners with Him.) (16:98-100).
