Lesson 9

WAL QADRI HAIRIHI WA SHARRIHI MINALLAHITA'ALAH

THE POWER OF DOING ACTIONS GOOD AND BAD PROCEEDS FROM ALLAH

All good, evil, gains, losses, pleasures and sorrows are HIS creations.

These happen according to HIS Commands.

Allah has granted us knowledge of many things but has not granted us the knowledge of the future.

HE has granted us the knowledge to carry out all HIS Commands and also the knowledge to refrain from acts that are forbidden by HIM.

Therefore it is up to us to act accordingly to these two knowledges.

It is not proper for us to talk about Allah’s Will. This is what Iblis did and fell into the wrong path.

I don’t know what my brother wills, so how can I know Allah’s Will.

We must remember the “Day of Ahdu Mithaq” that is the day of “Pledged Covenant”, when Allah asked “Ah nas thu bi Rab’bi kum” Am I not your Lord?

And all of us answered “Ka lu ba lah” Yes we testify that YOU are our Lord.

“There is not a thing but its treasuries are with Allah, and we send it down but in a due and certain measure.” (15:21)

My dear brothers and sisters,

Quran, sura An-Nahl, verse 97:

“man amala sa li han (whoever does good)

min thakarin au untha (whether male or female)

va hu va mu’minun (and he is a believer)

fa la nuh’yi yan na hu, (We will most certainly make him,)

ha yaa than thaiyi ba than, (live a happy life,)

va la najsi yan na hum aj ra hum (and We will most certainly give them their reward)

be ah’sa ni maa kaa nuu yah’ma luun. (for the best of what they did.)

Wa alaikum Sa laam.
