In the Name of Allaah…<\/em><\/p>\n

Most people entertain bad thoughts about Allaah regarding\u00a0their own personal situations and\u00a0the situations of\u00a0others.\u00a0 The only ones\u00a0who remain\u00a0safe\u00a0from this are those who truly know Allaah, His Names, His Attributes, and what\u00a0His Wisdom and Right to\u00a0be\u00a0praised really entails.<\/p>\n

So let every sincere, sound-minded individual focus on himself regarding this, and then repent to Allaah and seek His Forgiveness from\u00a0the negative notions he entertains\u00a0about his Lord.<\/p>\n

Look closely at anyone!\u00a0<\/strong> You will find that people become upset with Qadr and blame things on it, saying that, “It should have been this way or that way…”<\/p>\n

This passage was an explanation of some Qur’aanic verses exposing the notions and ill assumptions of the hypocrites after the defeat suffered at the Battle of Uhud.\u00a0 It is absolutely amazing how this great scholar tied the\u00a0filthy\u00a0beliefs of the hypocrites\u00a0to our own hearts and actions, and guided us to take a an important personal lesson from the hidden enemies of Islaam and their false notions about the Wisdom of Allaah and His Qadr.<\/p>\n

From the attributes of the hypocrites is that they do not submit to the Qadr of Allaah, instead they find fault with it, and claim that things would have been better had they been in charge of the affair!<\/p>\n

Review Soorah Aal ‘Imraan<\/em> (3:154).<\/p>\n

Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Inspect yourself – Are you innocent?!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I remind myself and my brothers and sisters in Islaam to sincerely think about the following statements and ponder over how distant we are from them in reality:<\/p>\n
