Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His creation.
3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just.
4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides Him.
5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when nothing else remains.
6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful,the Supreme, the Sovereign.
7. It is only He Who is capable of granting life to anything.
8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.
9. He sent Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.
10. His book is the Holy Qur'an, the only authentic revealed book in the world that has been kept without change.
11. Allah knows what is in our hearts.
These are some of the basic guidelines Muslims follow in their knowledge of God:
1. Eliminate any anthropomorphism (human qualities) from their conception of Allah. His attributes are not like human attributes, despite similar labels or appellations.
2. Have unwavering faith in exactly what Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described Allah to be, no more, no less.
3. Eradicate any hope or desire of learning or knowing the modality of His names and attributes.
4. Believe totally in all the names and attributes of Allah; one cannot believe in some and disbelieve the others.
5. One cannot accept the names of Allah without their associated attributes, i.e. one cannot say He is Al-Hayy - 'The Living' and then say that He is without life.
6. Similarity in names (or meanings) does not imply similarity in what is being described (referents). As a robotics arm differs from a human arm, so the "hand" of Allah is nothing like a human hand, His speech is nothing like human speech, etc.
7. Certain words are ambiguous or vague in their meanings, and thus may be susceptible to misinterpretation. Only those meanings that are in accordance with what is specified by Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) are acceptable.

The term "Allah" the Almighty is originally an Arabic word, which was used by the pre-Islamic Arabs. They believed in Allah, the Almighty, the supreme God and the one and only God. Some of them worshiped other gods besides Him, while others were polytheists worshiping idols.
Allah's Existence and Attributes
Proper scientific reasoning can be agreed upon as the only way to reach the truth of Allah's existence and attributes by all people (including the believers and the atheists). Since every one agrees that every action has a doer and every thing happens for a reason, nothing can be an exception to that rule; nothing comes out of nowhere and nothing happens for no reason. Examples of that are countless and evident. The entire universe including the living or the inanimate, the static and the mobile have been created from nothing. Common sense and science confirm that if there was some one who had created the universe whether His name is Allah, the Creator, or the Originator, it would not change the fact that the whole universe gives enough evidence to the existence of the Creator.
Studying and following up the Creator's work and products (creatures) is the way to get to know His attributes. For instance, a book signifies the knowledge, experience, culture, style, mentality and the ability to achievement and analysis of its writer. The manufactures give a vivid image and a comprehensive idea of its manufacturer's attributes. If people used this scientific reasoning in their approach to the universe and its creatures, they would be able to see the attributes of the Creator, the beauty of seas, the balance of the universe and the system of its movement, all the knowledge man has reached, nature, the accuracy of cells and the wise reasons behind its details made by the Creator. All of them demonstrate the Creator's greatness, knowledge and wisdom.
Whether people agreed or not upon the wise reasons behind the existence of the universe or the pains and hardships in life, that would not change the result, concluded by the scientific reasoning which confirms the existence of the Great Creator, the Almighty, the All-Knowing and the Wise who believers agree to call Allah, the Almighty.

He answered:

We see that one's faith can't be perfected until he loves the messenger (peace and blessings upon him) and glorifies him with what he should glorify him with, and with what is suitable for him (peace and blessings upon him), and there is no doubt that the sending of the messenger (peace and blessings upon him) and I don't say his birth, but his sending as he wasn't a messenger until he was sent, as people of knowledge have said, he has been informed by Iqra' (Surah Al-'Alaq) and has been sent by Al-Muddaththir (Surah Al-Muddaththir), and there is no doubt that his sending is a benefit to the whole mankind as Allah has said: Say (O Mohammad, peace and blessings upon him) "O mankind!, verily I am sent to you all as the messenger of Allah, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. None has the right to be worshiped but he. It is he who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and his messenger, the prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Mohammad, peace and blessings upon him), who believes in Allah and his words, and follow him so that you may be guided." Al-'Araf: 158.

And if he was so, then as a part of our glorification, respect, and politeness towards him, and as a part of taking him as a leader and someone to follow, is not to exceed than the worships he has legislated for us, because the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) died and there was nothing good for his nation but he has showed it and has ordered us to do, and there was nothing evil for his Ummah, but he has clarified it and warned us from. So, as we believe in him as a leader and someone to follow, we don't have the right to celebrate his birth or his sending, as celebration means happiness, joy, and showing glorification, and all these things are types of worship that get us closer to Allah, so we are not allowed to legislate in worships but what Allah and his messenger has legislated. So, celebrating the birthday is considered innovation, and the prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said: "Every innovation is misguidance." He has said this is general word, and he (peace and blessings upon him) is the best to know what he says, the most eloquent in what he speaks, and the most advising in what he guides to, there is no doubt in this, and the messenger hasn't excluded anything of the innovations that is not misguidance, and it is well known that misguidance is the opposite of guidance. That's why The Al-Nasa'i reported another narration: "Every misguidance is in hellfire", therefore if celebrating his birthday (peace and blessings upon him) one of the things liked by Allah and his messenger, then it would have been permissible, and if it was permissible, then it would have been preserved, as Allah has ensured preserving his rulings, and if it was preserved, the guided caliphs, the companions, their followers and those who followed would have left it. Since they haven't done anything of this, it has been know that this is not a part of the religion of Allah, and what I advice the Muslims in general with, is not to avoid such things whose legality haven't been proved neither by the Qur'an nor by the traditions of the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him), nor in the deeds of the companions, and to pay attention to what is clear in the rulings as known obligatory and preferable deeds, and in it there is sufficiency and reform of the individual and the society.

And if you looked carefully into the conditions of those who are fond of such innovations, you will find them reluctant not only in doing preferable deeds, but also in doing duties and obligations. This is a part from the exaggeration in the prophet (peace and blessings upon him) that is found in these celebrations, that leads to the major shirk (making partners with Allah) which causes one to get outside the religion, and that the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) have fought people for it, and have made their bloods, money, and property lawful. We hear that there are some poems that are said during these celebrations that surely causes one to get out of the religion, as they repeat the saying of the Busiri:

O the most honored creature, who can I seek for refuge

But you, when a great accident happens to me

If you weren't to take my hand on the day of resurrection

Shaking it, then say "Oh, foot slips!"

Among your generosity are this life and the other one

And among your knowledge is the knowledge of the tablet and the pen

Such attributes are due only to Allah, and I am astonished by who says such words. If he understands what he is saying, then how can he justify saying to the prophet: "Among you generosity is this life and the other one", and "Among" here is stating that it is part of his generosity, and "the other one" is the hereafter. So, if this life and the one to come is among the generosity of the messenger (peace and blessings upon him), and not all his generosity, then what is left for Allah, for sure, nothing would have been left, neither in this life nor in the hereafter. And also "And among your knowledge is the knowledge of he tablet and the pen", and "Among" here is stating that it is part of his knowledge, and I don't know what will be left for Allah, if we talked to the messenger (peace and blessings upon him) with such speech.

And wait my Muslim brother... If you fear Allah, then give the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) the degree Allah has given to him. He is the slave of Allah and his messenger, so say "Slave of Allah, and his messenger". And believe in what Allah has commanded him to convey to all mankind: Say (O Mohammad, peace and blessing upon him) "I don't tell you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor (that) I know the unseen; nor that I tell you I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Al-An'am: 50, and what Allah has commanded him with when he said: Say (O Mohammad, peace and blessing upon him) "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the right path." Al-Jinn: 21, and in addition to that: Say (O Mohammad, peace and blessing upon him) "None can protect me from Allah's punishment (if I were to disobey him), nor can I find refuge except in him." Al-Jinn: 22, even if Allah wants to do something to the messenger (peace and blessings upon him), no one can protect him from Allah.

So, the net result of these festivals or celebrations of the prophet's (peace and blessings upon him) birthday, is not just limited to being an innovation in the religion, but also other bad things are added to it and can lead to major shirk.

Moreover, from what we have heard, there is intermixing between men and women, and there is clapping and using Duff (one-sided drum), etc.. and other bad things that no believer can have doubt in condemning them, and we are satisfied with what Allah and his messenger have legislated for us, as in it is the reform of the hearts, countries, and people.

In 2004 they were accused of discrimination against ethnic minorities for offering preferential treatment to whites, resulting in a class action law suit and a $45 million out-of-court settlement. Have they learned? In June 2009 they were accused of disability discrimination for hiding a one armed girl in the stock room and not allowing her on the sales floor, resulting in an employment tribunal and £8,013 compensation. In September 2009 they were accused of discriminating against the Muslim headscarf the first time, and now again. Why haven't they learned? Why is this "look policy" so important to them?

I'm on a stone sand colored platform near the ocean surrounded by two giant floating bearded heads. One with the black Ayatollah turban, and one with the red Al Azhar cap. Every time a ask a question with the intention of following traditional scholarship I get two answers, one a literal instruction based upon the text and the historical implementation, and the other a loose interpretation based on the modern context and the original intention. The heads never agree, and I am always left in the middle with no direction. Frustrated, I move past the heads to the Quran itself, but find that the pages are not filled with words, but with light, which I cannot read. Still frustrated, I ask Allah, show me who can read this? When a man appears on the far side of the platform, walking up steps that lead down to the ocean. He is dressed in white, white a white turban. The same light, shining from his head. In the dream I think of the biography of Imam Nawawi, but nothing in the dream factually indicated this was him. I asked him, how do I read this? and he said, "First drink only the purest water. Then eat only the purest food. Then contemplate only the purest media."

I laid awake for a long time trying to figure out how to drink completely pure water, not only chemically pure, but also morally pure. Thinking of Imam Nawawi’s personal prohibition of any food harvested from land owned in riba. I was left with the subjective feeling that the dream was an instruction to pull further out of the riba system. To be clear, I have no debt and pay no riba, but I feel like the system itself is “the dust of riba.” But other’s have suggested the three instructions may have been metaphorical.

Any thoughts?]]>
