Why did Allaah create us? By Dr. Faisal Az-Zanâmi al Wâdi'ee



Question from  كَنْزُالأَطْفاَل - (The Children's Treasure)

6.     لِمَاْذَا خَلَقَنَاْ الَلَّه؟  -  Why did Allaah create us?
 خَلَقَنَاْ لِ: عِبَاْدَتِهِ - He created us for His worship.

The daleel (proof) is the saying of Allaah:   
 وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
"... and I (Allâh) created not the Jinns and humans except they should Worship Me (Alone)."
(Ad-Dhaariyāt  51:56)

In ayah 56 Allaah stressed the purpose of mankind and Jinn which is for ibaadah. After that Allaah  سُبحانه وتعالى says:

مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

'I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).'
(Adh-Dhariyat 51:57)
Allaah  سُبحانه وتعالى says in the above ayah that He DOES NOT want from mankind and Jinn rizq, any provision nor want to be fed by them.   

The Believers are Tested so That it May Be Known Who is Sincere & Who is Lying

Allaah - the Most High - stated:

﴿أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُواْ أَن يَقُولُواْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفْتَنُونَ ﴾

(Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe,'' & will not be tested.)

The Envier Opposes Allaah’s Will


Say to the one who envies me,
‘Do you know who you are misbehaving against?’
You are misbehaving against Allaah in what He gave
because you are not pleased with what He gave me
So he recompensed me for what you did & that is by
increasing me (in my blessings)
& shutting the doors of earning (a livelihood) in your face.
 
(Read on pg 45, Ibn al-Jawzi, Disciplining The Soul)

Signs of Beneficial knowledge



1) Implementing it. 

2) Hatred for being praised,  complemented,  or displaying haughtiness over others.
 
3) Increasing your modesty with the increase of knowledge. 

4) Fleeing from the love of leadership,  fame,  and worldly pleasures.  

5) Abandoning the claim to have knowledge. 

6) Having bad suspicions about oneself,  and good suspicion about other people,  so as to steer clear from disparaging them. 


'Abdullaah Ibn Mubaarak رحمه الله used to say,  in poetry if the manners of the Salaf were mentioned:

"Do not compare us to them
for the sound person who walks
Is not the same as the crippled one. "


[The Etiquette of Seeking KnowledgeSheikh Bakr Aboo Zayd رحمه الله - page 79]

"I saw from the affliction is that the believer makes dua ..."

 
Ibn al-Jawzee  رحمه الله said,

"I saw from the affliction is that the believer makes dua & receives no response (for it), so he repeats the dua & the period becomes long but still he sees no sign of the answer (for the dua), so it is necessary for him to know that this is from the affliction that requires (him) to have patience (as well)."

Impermissibility of using Facebook for Da'wah




Answered by Sheikh Abu ‘Amr Abdul Kareem Al Hajooree حفظه الله of Yemen
                                                                                                                                              
Question: There is a website called Facebook which has become well known and is widely used all over the world. On this website every person has their own page where they can write in and post their pictures. Through the use of this website, men and women are able to look at one another’s pictures and they often meet up through this website. Furthermore, it has also been mentioned in some of the newspapers and news reports that cases of kidnap, adultery and fornication have directly increased because of this website. Now some of Ahl us-sunnah have started to use this website in the name of Da’wah. So, is it permissible for us to utilize this website whilst knowing all of what has been mentioned?

Answer:
Our Lord The Most High says in His Noble Book,

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا كِرَامًا

'And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity.'
(Al-Furqan 25:72)

And from the meanings of to witness is to take part in or to be present for. Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says,

So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadhan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month.”
- Meaning is whoever is present for and takes part in (that month).

So it is NOT permissible for any Muslim who fears Allaah to use this website and partake of it. This is especially due to what has been mentioned from the corruption and widespread evil which is present within it from pictures and the meeting of women as well as that which takes place because of this website from illegal sexual intercourse and kidnappings and other than that from the crimes which occur.
