But they grew stubborn, and worshipped
The idols that the devils commanded

So he sought the help of his Lord
And they were overcame by a flood
Gushing forth from above and beneath
That wiped the arrogant from their hearth

But the believers were saved on a property,
Made of planks and nails, sailing to safety

That was the seizure of your Lord
To those who rejected His Word
Became proud and arrogant till the end
And took the respite of Allah for granted

The People Of Nuh (Noah)

He came at a time when his tribe
Neglected Allah and took pride
In worshipping the statues of their fathers
As shaytaan deceived them to stray further


He preached day and night,
Warned them hidden and in sight
About the terrible destruction
They took him for jest and humiliation


Rebuked him and called him a madman
He warned them as a young-man
Till he reached nine-fifty years
He kept calling to he that hears

7. WE SHOULD NEITHER WEAKEN NOR SLACKEN:
Allah says :

قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ سُنَنٞ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Many similar ways (and mishaps of life) were faced by nations (believers and disbelievers) that have passed away before you (as you have faced in the battle of Uhud), so travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah, and disobeyed Him and His Messengers).
-Surah Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 137

هَٰذَا بَيَانٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

This (the Quran) is a plain statement for mankind, a guidance and instruction to those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V. 2:2).
-Sura Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 138

وَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.
-Sura Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 139

إِن يَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ قَرۡحٞ فَقَدۡ مَسَّ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ قَرۡحٞ مِّثۡلُهُۥۚ وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمۡ شُهَدَآءَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
-Sura Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 140

Do not be downtrodden, do not slacken in your acts of worship. Allah will give victory to His people and grant them way out of every difficulty.

8. WE HAVE A MAULAH:
It is important that we learn that Allah turns event and that does not in any way mean that Allah has abandoned us. We have a maulah and they have no maulah.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَوۡلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَا مَوۡلَىٰ لَهُمۡ

That is because Allah is the Maula (Lord, Master, Helper, Protector, etc.) of those who believe, and the disbelievers have no Maula (lord, master, helper, protector, etc.).
-Surah Muhammad, Ayah 11

9. WE SHOULD RETURN BACK TO ALLAH:

Islam will be victorious but our victory and success will come only if we do not engage in the sins committed by the disbelievers. Umar bn khattab said to the soldiers that:

“You must know that our victory came not because of our strength or numbers but because we do not commit sins that they disbelievers perpetrate, for if we were to commit it, we will not have upper hand over them.


We ask Allah to not make our generation like us, pardon our misdeeds and grant us a way out of every difficulty.

5. ISLAM AT THE LATER END OF THE WORLD IS LIKE GRASPING A BURNING COAL:

The Prophet of Allah informed us that the religion will be devoured, like a food in a bowl and every nations will gather around it to take their share. Holding on to the true tenets, that is where success lies. So brothers and sisters, if you are targetted and labelled as a fundamentalist, rejoice and be glad for you are upon what is right and true; but be wary of going towards extremism for that is destroying. Hold on to the line of the Shariah and do not waver, listen and ponder over this verse of Allah that says:

وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطِي مُسۡتَقِيمٗا فَٱتَّبِعُوهُۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلسُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمۡ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ
"And verily, this (i.e. Allah's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V. 2:2)."
-Surah Al-An'am, Ayah 153

6. THEY HAVE GONE WITH THEIR DEEDS:
Allah says:
تِلۡكَ أُمَّةٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡۖ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتۡ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبۡتُمۡۖ وَلَا تُسۡـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned, and you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do.
-Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 141

O my beloved brothers and sisters in the deen, they are gone to account for their deeds and actions in this world. We don’t know what our end will be, we should take heed and learn and prepare for ours, for it is inevitable and it will come when we do not perceive.

3. ALLAH HAS TAKEN ACCOUNT OF IT:

It is ponderous that we must know that Allah will revenge the blood of a muslim for it is sacred. Allah says:

وَمَن يَقۡتُلۡ مُؤۡمِنٗا مُّتَعَمِّدٗا فَجَزَآؤُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ خَٰلِدٗا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَلَعَنَهُۥ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُۥ عَذَابًا عَظِيمٗا
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him.
-Sura An-Nisa', Ayah 93
The taken of the life of anyone, a believer or a non-believer is prohibited except in a just cause. What about the blood of Muslim that Allah has made sacred? We should leave the affairs to Allah, He surely knows the best way to carry out His plans.

4. THIS AFFECTS THE MUSLIM UMMAH:
Every Muslim should feel this pain, loss and tribulation. The ummah is a single body, the messenger of Allah said: .

Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”

They are part of the ummah and whatever befalls them befalls us. Our heart should be with them, supplicate to Allah for them, show sympathy to their families and ask Allah to save the Ummah from similar tribulations.

2. THE TIME AND PLACE OF DEATH IS ONLY KNOWN TO ALLAH:

Allah says:
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّؤَجَّلٗاۗ وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَاۚ وَسَنَجۡزِي ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ
And no person can ever die except by Allah's Leave and at an appointed term. And whoever desires a reward in (this) world, We shall give him of it; and whoever desires a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give him thereof. And We shall reward the grateful
-Sura Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 145
that is to the occurrence, as for the place, Allah says:

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِۖ وَمَا تَدۡرِي نَفۡسٞ مَّاذَا تَكۡسِبُ غَدٗاۖ وَمَا تَدۡرِي نَفۡسُۢ بِأَيِّ أَرۡضٖ تَمُوتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرُۢ
Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).
-Sura Luqman, Ayah 34

When the time has come for someone to die, anything will kill him.

Should anyone say that if they had stayed at home and keep watch of their safety that they would have been saved. We remind such person of the sayings of Allah in Surah Aal-Imran:154-156.
Our belief is that it was their time and Allah has made it happen in a place of worship. We ask Allah to expand their graves, cloak them with His mercy and grant them the reward of martyrdom.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNT

1. PERFECTING OUR INTENTIONS:
The Messenger of Allah was reported to have informed Abdullah bn Umar, where he said:
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (ra), who said:

The Messenger of Allah (saw) took me by the shoulder and said, “Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer.”

And Ibn Umar (ra) used to say, “In the evening do not expect [to live until] the morning, and in the morning do not expect [to live until] the evening. Take [advantage of] your health before times of sickness, and [take advantage of] your life before your death.”
[Bukhari]

It is important, brothers and sisters, that we set aright our intentions at all time, for we do not know which act and deed will be our last. It will surely be an act that will be the last, the brother who pronounced the adhan (the call to prayer), the one who stood at the entrance never envisaged that, that would be their final act of worship. It is never how we started it, it is how we end it. So brothers and sisters, I admonish you and myself, to learn to purify our intentions mainly to seek the pleasure of Allah.

We must know that Allah will not leave the Ummah to itself as to what He says:

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِمۡ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيۡنَا نَصۡرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

And indeed We did send Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW) to their own peoples. They came to them with clear proofs, then, We took vengeance on those who committed crimes (disbelief, setting partners in worship with Allah, sins, etc.), and (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).-Surah Ar-Rum, Ayah 47

All praises and adoration belong to Allah, The Irresistible, The All Knowing. We beseech Him, we seek His help and guidance. Verily, whosoever Allah guides, none can misguide and whosoever Allah leaves to his misguidance, none can guide, we ask Him to envelope His Messenger with His peace and blessings. We ask Allah to grant us the sweetness of faith, patience and forgive our shortcomings.

My brothers and sisters in the Deen, I salute you with the best of greetings, As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. May Allah brighten your precious faces.

As to what follows, the incident that occurred on the 15th of March, 2019 in Al Noor Masjid and Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, Newzealand during Friday Prayer is of no doubt a tribulation to the Muslim Ummah, a cataclysmic fracture to the core of the ummah. However, our belief as Muslims, is to return the affairs back to Qadar and to the Decider of affairs and take beneficial lessons from it.

In the Name of Allah, The Subtle, The Irresistible.

Explanation Of The Beautiful Name Of Allah; Al Wahhab

Verily, all praises and adoration belong to Allah, we thank Him, we seek His help, we seek for His pardon, we solicit His refuge from the evils of our souls and from the misdeeds which our hands sent forth. Verily, whosoever Allah guides, none can misguide, whosoever Allah leaves to his misguidance, none can guide. We testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, who has no associates nor partners.

We ask Him to place His peace and blessings upon the Imam of the Prophets, the Leader of the pious, the Seal of Prophet-hood, Muhammad bn Abdullah ﷺ, and upon his household, his companions and the entirety of Muslims till the day in which neither wealth nor children will be of no benefit except the one who brings to Allah a clean heart (clean from shirk and hypocrisy).



The Beautiful Name of Allah; Al Wahhab [ The Bestower ]
Allah ﷻ in His Majesty, have His Names filled with beauty in their pronunciations, awesomeness in their meaning and they are classic in their comprehension.



Al Wahhab: -The Bestower of Bounty

- The Granter of Largesse

- The Giver of Endowment

None can bestow, except the one with a provision, and none can attain the title of ‘The Bestower’ except the one that is provision never ends and that is Allah, Al Azeezul Wahhab (The All-Mighty, The Real Bestower). From our sense organs, to our body composition, from our necessities to our luxuries, He alone has the ability to grant whatsoever He wills to whosoever He wills. He extends His bounties to both believers and disbelievers for He is ‘Dhul Tawli’(The Bestower).

The One who gives endlessly, never awaiting praise nor reward. His giving to the disbelievers is an attestation that He expects neither praise nor reward, for a disbeliever does not even acknowledge Him. His giving to the believers is out of His love and mercy.



Our belief should be firm and resolute that no one can give bounty except Allah, this is the shariah of those who came before us and our shariah too. Allah narrates to us the story of Prophet Ibrahim, when he said:


ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي وَهَبَ لِي عَلَى ٱلۡكِبَرِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَسَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ

"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Isma'il (Ishmael) and Ishaq (Isaac). Verily! My Lord is indeed the All-Hearer of invocations.

-Surah Ibrahim: 39

For such bounties of sons at old age and not just ordinary sons, but Prophets, he praises none but The Real Bestower - Allah.



Again, we regale us with the story of Prophet Sulayman;


قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَهَبۡ لِي مُلۡكٗا لَّا يَنۢبَغِي لِأَحَدٖ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِيٓۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ

He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me: Verily, You are the Bestower."

-Sura Sad, Ayah 35



The Prophet of Allah, Muhhamad bn Abdullah ﷺ taught us a strong duaa that shows the belief of Muslims and their creed. He said:


“O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none may give what You have withheld, and the might of the mighty person cannot benefit him against You.”



Why will a believer be in fear and grief when he has The Bestower of bounty?

Why will he look for his provisions in what is haram, when The Bestower will even give to a disbeliever?

Why will he stoop so low to beg the creatures for sustenance, when the provisions with ‘The Bestower’ is endless and never perishing?

Raise your hands to him, ask Him, He knows best how it will get to you.



PRACTICE:
O my honorable brothers and sisters in Islam. Know that what is with Allah is better and will last forever. So make it an act to ask Him. He bestows and He is never tired of giving for His hands are fully outstretched and He gives as He wills.



DUAA:
“Our Lord! Let not our heart deviate, now, after you have guided us. And grant us Mercy from Your very presence. For You are the Bestower of bounties without measure.”


Jazakumullahu Khayran,

Wa salaamun alaykum

Explanation of the Beautiful Name of Allah.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever-Merciful. Verily to Allah belongs the best of names and attributes, He says:

‘And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.’ Holy Qur’an, Suratul ‘Araf: 180

The Names and Attributes of Allah have always existed since before creation. The bringing of creation into existence did not in anyway add to His Attributes. The creations of the mankind on earth, the Jinns in the unseen world, the angels up high, the shrubs on the mountains, the lives in the oceans, the soaring birds in the sky, the oasis and dunes in the deserts and all that is left did not make Allah attain the additional attributes as the Creator of the creatures. It was never after the act of creation or origination did He attain the attribute of ‘Al Khaliq’ [The Creator] or ‘Al Badii’ [The Originator].
[ Source: Aqeedatul Tahawiyyah ]

He was always the Lord even when there was nothing to be Lorded over, and always the Creator even when there was no creation. He alone has this attributes and nothing can be comparable to Him. As a way to explain this scenario; a doctor will only be called a Doctor right after passing through the necessary education, obtaining the required degree and achieving the feat, then he can take on the title. This similitude is applicable to every facet in this life but never will this be used to explain the status of Allah nor is this applicable to the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. Allah says:
‘... There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.’ Holy Qur’an, Suratul Shura: 11

The attributes of Allah are distinctive and must not be changed, for the deep meanings can only be explained by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and upon the understanding of the companions, for only through that, will we be able to affirm their true definitions. The Attributes of Allah must not be questioned nor denied nor compared to that of His creations.
Confirming the Name of Allah necessitates the confirmation of an attribute. For example, Ar-Raheem { The Most Merciful } is a Name and its Attribute necessitates the affirmation of Mercy. Furthermore, we need to know that the affirmation of an attributes does not necessitates the affirmation of a Name. For example, Kalaam { Speech } is an Attribute of Allah but does not necessitates the affirmation of a name, Al- Mutakallim.
[ Source: Fatawa Islamiyyah ]

The Beautiful Name of Allah; Al Haleem [ The Forbearing ]

The name of Allah, Al-Haleem’ {The Forbearing} is deeper in meaning, for it does not just connote Forbearance, but also encompasses forgiveness, pardon, respite and mercy.
How do you feel when the one whom you offend sees you and he is capable of meting out a punishment, but yet, he looks away, and not only that, he doesn’t speak of it? We will be overwhelmed with incomparable joy, for we were saved from an expected embarrassment, disgrace and chastisement {To Allah belongs the best of similitude}

Our sins and our misdeeds, the ones perpetrated in secret and open, the Supreme Creator sees and He is aware and able to mete out the prescribed punishment, but still, He gives respite. It is not that He is unable or powerless but He extends and gives us an intermission, for perhaps, the penitent slave will be remorseful and give in to repentance or be grateful to Him for the cessation of the punishment and not bringing unto him, destruction for what his hands have earned.
The Forbearance of Allah is similar to none. Let me regale you with the verse of the Glorious Qur’an, Allah says:

‘Allah will not call you to account for that which is unintentional in your oaths,…
(The forbearance of Allah covers mistakes and inadvertent oaths)
but He will call you to account for that which your hearts have earned.
As for your strong resolution in making oath, for that you will be questioned
And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Forbearing.’
Here comes the mercy of Allah, a way to calm down the nerves of those who have wronged themselves in making oath, and not just lull but it is coupled with pardon and forgiveness.
Holy Qur’an, Suratul Baqarah: 225

PRACTICE:

‘... And know that Allah knows what is in your minds, so fear Him. And know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Forbearing.’ Holy Qur’an, Suratul Baqarah: 235
Let us remember and put it in mind that the respite of Allah will cover the servant of Allah until the inevitable comes for his soul, nor the sun rises from where It sets. So let us make it an unavoidable practice, to always seek forgiveness from Allah for our misdeeds and be thankful to Him for His Patience and Forbearance.

DUAA:

‘ There is none worthy of worship but Allah, The Mighty,The Most Forbearing. There is none worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is none worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the Noble Throne.
O Allah, I hope for your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for the blinking of an eye. Correct all my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship but you.’
