Al-Lawh wa-l-Qalam: The Tablet and The Pen
Al-Lawh wa-l-Qalam: The Tablet and The Pen
We believe in al-Law-h (The Tablet) and al-Qalam (The Word) and in everything written on it. Even if all created beings were to gather together to make something fail to exist, whose existence Allah had written on the Tablet, they would not be able to do so. And if all created beings were to gather together to make something exist which Allah had not written on it, they would not be able to do so. The Pen has dried having written down all the Words that will be in existence until the Day of Judgement. Whatever a person has missed he would have never got it, and whatever one gets, he would have never missed it. It is necessary for the servant to know that Allah already knows everything that is going to happen in His creation and decreed it in a detailed and decisive way. There is nothing that He has created in either the heavens or the earth that can contradict it, or add to it, or erase it, or change it, or decrease it, or increase it in any way. This is a fundamental aspect of belief and a necessary element of all knowledge and recognition of Allah's Oneness and Lordship. As Allah says in His Book: "He created everything and decreed it he a detailed way." [al-Furqan 25:2] And He also says: "Allah's command is always a decided decree". [al-Ahzab 33:38] So woe to anyone who argues with Allah concerning the decree and who, with a sick heart, starts delving into this matter. In his delusory attempt to investigate the Unseen, he is seeking a secret that can never be uncovered, and he ends up an evil-doer, telling nothing but lies. Al-'Arsh wa-l-Kursi: the Throne and the Chair Al-'Arsh (the Throne) and al-Kursi (the Chair) are true. He is independent of the Throne and what is beneath it. He encompasses everything and is above it, and what He has created is incapable of encompassing Him. http://village.flashnet.it/users/fn0...idah.html#hawd |
