Naam@ agentxxxx.beautiful hadith indeed
weda directly or indirectly the hadith is affirming to the worship of God due to love
It made mention of knowing...assuredly you can only love or hate some1 when you know his goods and bad attribute
As we know the attributes of Allah points to infinite perfection that is infinitely beautiful essence so the more we know him the more we love him,
So the hadith stipulates that we should worship him by knowing His attribute..indirectly saying that we should worship him out of love
Note;when you Love some1 you will fear to displease him too

ayinba1:
Why is it important to separate/select one? Will this analysis bring one closer to Allah? Is Allah's reward real? Is Hell real? Even though none of us saw it? Why not worship Him for all three reasons Or worship Him because He created you for that purpose?

I am trying to follow this topic to see how it brings us closer to Allah.



Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logike)[1] is the use and study of valid reasoning.[2][3] The study of logic features most prominently in the subjects of philosophy, mathematics, and computer science.

IMO - Use of valid Reasoning. Would it relate to reflecting or using one's brain? I am not good at playing on words. In my post and the other posts I read, I loosely used the word as "reason, think, ponder, understand" i.e do not swallow "hook, line and sinker"

dekatrons:
You just made use of logic in the above quoted
By the way we know that every child who sins deserves punishment that is justice but the question is should the childs reason for not committing a crime be the result of his fear of punishment a situation which is similar to submission of the body cause when the punishment is removed he definitely goes back to the crime
Or should his condition for not sinning be the result of pure and untainted love for his master in that his fear for sinning is the result of his love for his master a condition referred to as submission of the intellect and of the mind

AlBaqir:
The three types of Isti’adha
There are three ways the Isti’adha is done:

* There are persons who neither have the right spirit of doing Isti’adha nor are they aware of the meaning of the words of Isti’adha. But, all the same, as a force of habit, they utter the words: audhu billahi min ash-shaitanir rajeem. Unless the Isti’adha comes with feelings,understanding and from the heart, it becomes a satanic joke!

* There are persons who know the meanings and purport of the words of Isti’adha and are capable of saying them properly, but they haven’t the right feelings in their heart and also their actions are in obedience of Satan. Such Isti’adha will be for Satan rather than a submission to Allah for His protection against Satan!

* There is a third group of persons who say the words of Isti’adha from the depths of their hearts and are fully aware of their meaning, purport and spirit. These persons will be fully aware of the Greatness and Omnipotence of Allah. The Isti’adha of these persons will always get the accepted by Allah.

Isti’adha should emanate from the heart and not merely from the lips
To gauge the reality of Isti’adha, only saying audhu billahi min ash-shaitanir rajeem or saying its translation in one’s own language is absolutely insufficient. Isti’adha is a meaningful and spiritual condition that is conveyed by the words noted above. If Isti’adha is prompted from the heart of the person, then only it will be effective. Otherwise, just uttering the words would make one the play-thing of Satan.

Verily those who guard (themselves against evil) when an evil thought from Satan afflicts them, they become mindful (of God and get awakened) then lo! They are forthright" {Sura al-A’raaf, 7:201}

The meaning should be manifested by the words
Qur’an wants people to [fastaidh billah] seek Allah’s protection. This means that the words should not be repeated as a force of habit like the parrots. The reality requires one to seek freedom from the accursed Satan and submit to Allah for His help. If these two objectives are achieved, then the Isti’adha is really Isti’adha! Otherwise it will just be an exercise in futility. In a nutshell, when the words of the Isti’adha are uttered, it should be in the true spirit required of him.

When we consider carefully the spirit of Isti’adha, we find that it has five well-defined aspects:
1. Taqwa or piety.

2. Tadhakkur or remembrance of Allah.

3. Tawakkul or trust in Allah.

4. Ikhlas or sincerity.

5. Aajizi or humility towards Allah.

When a person practices all these five aspects, his Isti’adha will be accepted by Allah. Then the accursed Satan will remain a long distance away from the person whether he says audhu billahi min ash-shaitanir rajeem or not. In other words, when Satan comes to a mu’min he becomes scared of man as an ordinary human being gets scared of the company of Jinns.

Satan runs away from the men of piety
Verily those who guard (themselves against evil) when an evil thought from Satan afflicts them, they become mindful (of God and get awakened) then lo! They are forthright" {Sura al-A’raaf, 7:201}

When the men of piety have any fear from Satan, then they busy themselves in prayer and they instantaneously get enlightened. Therefore, the very first condition for keeping oneself safe from form Satan is to become pious. Those who adopted piety, busy themselves in prayer whenever they fears of Satan in their hearts. They get enlightened that Satan created the fears.

They also realize that Satan had fled because of their prayer and that they are in the protection of Allah. The ayat mentioned above is a pointer to the believers towards adoption of piety and remembrance of Allah.

Need for trust on Allah
Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
"So when you recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan, Surely he has no authority over those who believe and rely on their Lord" {Sura an‑Nahl, 16:98-99}

One who has trust in Allah, Shaitan will have no control on him. Satan can influence only those who don’t trust on Allah and all their confidence is on material and worldly aspects of their lives. If the same person has trust on Allah, then Satan becomes helpless in his maneuvers.

When a person doesn’t trust Allah from the depths of his heart, then all his pleadings for protection will be of no avail. According to the verse quoted above, Satan would gain ascendance over him. In the later verse of the Qur’an there is a reference towards this aspect:
Verily, his authority is only over those who befriend him and those who associate others with Him" {Sura an-Nahl, 16:100}

One who has forgotten the Munificent Allah and befriended Satan, he has no concern for Isti’adha or seeking protection from Satan.

Satan has nothing to do with the sincere people
Another important aspect of Isti’adha is sincerity. This saying of Satan is recorded in the Holy Qur’an:
He said: Then by Thy Might I will surely make them live an evil life, all, Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones" {Sura Sad, 38:82-83}

The purport of sincerity (Ikhlas) has been explained at various places in the Holy Qur’an. As the need arose, we have referred to this aspect in our talk and there is further need to stress on this aspect.

Thus it is established that the Isti’adha of only the persons sincere to Allah (S.w.T.) is appropriate. Since Satan has no influence on such persons they are those who escape from his machinations.

Do we have the capability of Piety (Taqwa) and Remembrance (Tadhakkur) of Allah?
After living long years we have not drawn any benefit from knowledge of the Faith. May Allah protect us from compounded ignorance (Jahl al-Murakkab). We have earlier said that the first aspect of Isti’adha is Taqwa or piety. One who has not adopted taqwa, will not be able to escape from Satan. Only with piety one can keep out of the clutches of Satan.

A woman who can come to the bazār wearing indecent dress is satanic from head to toe! And the man who chaperons such a woman in public can never escape from the attention of Satan.

It goes to prove that one who doesn’t save himself from what is forbidden (haram) can never prevent himself from the influence of Satan.

If a person dwells in a usurped house, he cannot escape from Satan unless he quits the occupation of that house. If a person is in habit of doing prohibited things, he cannot do Isti’adha.

Illegitimate sustenance is the biggest impediment in the way of Isti’adha
The important aspects of Isti’adha are absolute piety and total abstinence from prohibited things. Having prohibited (Haram) food renders the entire body of the person satanic. He becomes attached to Satan because Satan’s blood flows in the veins of the person.

The tongue with which such a person says audhu billahi min ash-shaitanir rajeem, is in fact, the tongue of Satan. The reason for this is that the person has drawn nutrition from satanic food.

The Prophet (S) has been reported to have said: “Allah sees your hearts and not your faces.”. This proves that mere talking and arguing might have some effect on people but for Allah nothing has any weight other than the absolute facts.

Therefore, about the sacrifices that we make in the way of Allah, the Holy Book categorically says:
"There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood, but to Him is acceptable the guarding (against evil, Taqwa) on your part..." {Sura al-Hajj, 22:37}

Until the last vestiges of Haram are not removed Isti’adha is not possible
As long as even one morsel of Haram food is in the body of a person, he is himself like Satan. Beating drums seeking protection from Satan is his hypocrisy. As long as he is not able to shake away the influence of Satan from his person, all his prayers are mere pretences.

About rizq al-halal (legitimate food) there are several traditions of Ahl al Bayt (a.s.). Rizq al-Halal is like a seed on which the quality of the plant will depend. Care must be exercised pure and good seed to ensure the health and sturdiness of the tree. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
"O men! Eat the lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy" {Sura al-Baqara, 2:168}

Abstain from doubtful food
When one has doubt about the food being halal, he should rather abstain from eating it.

Avoid using Haram food and clothes. The use of these will have such deleterious effect on the person that he becomes the victim of fears and doubts.
[Excerpt From Ayatullah Dastghaib Shirazi's al-Isti'adha]

#May Allah protect us from the accursed Shaitan and his troops. Ameen.
