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 Knowledge -  Sheikh 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)."

Assalamu alaikum Ya Akhawaat,

 I have compiled all the revision questions that we were tested in  الصَّرْفُ today by Umm Hyatt حفظه الله. Insha-Allaah, this should help you all revise your work thoroughly and at the same time assist the sisters who found it difficult so that they can re-study the lessons. I am ONLY posting the questions so as to give you all the opportunity to try and answer them yourselves. Insha-Allaah, I will be posting the answers soon. Wherever possible I have added transliteration for ease of pronunciation. It is very important that we study our lessons regularly and make an effort to develop our study skills, not forgetting the most important key to success... DUA! Don't give up! Make loadz of dua begging Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى to give you the understanding and make it easy for you. Who said Jannaah was easy?? It is H-A-R-D work!! So come on.. let's get going..!!!

Wishing you all the very best!
