Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (r) is considered to be the one with the greatest firasah in the Ummah and `Umar (r) was the second. The incidents that prove `Umar (r)'s firasah are numerous, familiar and well-known. He never said with regards to anything, "I think this is so," but it was what he thought. The fact that the Quran approved of his opinion sin many incidents is sufficient evidence of his sharp firasah. One of which was his opinion regarding the redemption of the captives from the Battle of Badr. Once a man named Sawad Bin Qarib passed by and `Umar (r) did not know him. `Umar (r) said, "This is either a soothsayer or he was so in the days of jahiliyyah." Upon sitting before `Umar (r), Sawad said, "O commander of the faithful! You never received any of your guests the way you did me." `Umar (r) said, "What we used to do in the days of jahiliyyah is worse than this. But tell me about what I have asked you." Sawad said, "You were true, O commander of the faithful! I was a soothsayer in the days of jahiliyyah, then he told him the story." The sahabah, in general, had the most accurate and sharpest firasah. The true firasah is obtained from life and from the light Allah grants to whom He wishes from amongst His true servants. The heart receives life and light and then its firasah will almost never be wrong. Allah says, "Is he who was dead and We gave him life and set for him a light whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness from which he can never come out?" [6:122] The verse describes the person as "dead" because of the disbelief in his heart and the life of jahiliyyah or ignorance he was leading, but then Allah gave him life through iman or faith of knowledge. Upon his acceptance of these gifts, the Qur'an and faith become the light by which he sees his way out of the darkness (of disbelief and ignorance) and onto the straight path. Firasah is linked to three human organs: the eye, ear and heart. His eye examines the look and the signs, his ear examines the speech, the over expressions, oblique inferences and hints, content, logic and tone of voice. And his heart analyzes both what is seen and hear to perceive hidden thoughts of others. His analysis and examination of the interior compared to the exterior is like one who examines currency to see if it is counterfeit after examining the outside. It is also similar to Ahlul-Hadith (scholars who specialize in the knowledge of the hadith), who will read a hadith that has a sound isnad (chain of narrators) but upon examination of the matn (text of the hadith), it is found that it is a fabricated hadith. There are two factors in firasah. One is the quality of one's mind, the sharpness of the heart and the intelligence. The second is the appearance of the signs and indications on others. When both factors are present than one's firasah may not be wrong. Iyaas bin Mu`awiyah had great firasah and he was well-known because of it , as was Imam Shafiee who was also reported to have written about it. None knows the rank of a person in knowledge except he who is his peer and has known him personally, and he only knows him to the extent of what he himself was granted to know. None of his companions knew al-Shafi`i like al-Muzani knew him, and al-Muzani knew al-Shafi`i only to the extent of al-Muzani's strength. Nor can anyone estimate the Prophet (Allah bless and greet him) as he deserves except Allah (may He be exalted), and each knows him (Allah bless and greet him) only to the extent of what he himself possesses. Thus the most knowledgeable in the Community about the Prophet's (Allah bless and greet him) rank is Abu Bakr (Allah be well-pleased with him) because he was the best of the Ummah, and Abu Bakr (r) knows the Prophet (Allah bless and greet him) only according to Abu Bakr (r)'s strength. [Shaykh al-Islam Taqi al-Din Abu al-Hasan al-Subki as recorded by his son Ibn al-Subki, Tabaqat al-Shafi`iyya al-Kubra ( 6:191-389 #694)trans.GF.Haddad.] SOURCE http://www.sunnah.org/tasawwuf/station_of_firasah.htm |
The meaning of the verse is that Allah has confirmed to His Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, that he would know them from the lahn of their speech. It is more likely that one may know more about the speaker and what is within his mind from his speech and the tone of his voice than from his physical appearance. The words and the tone of voice can tell much more, than the appearance, about the intention of the speaker. firasah can be either visual or auditory. The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, is reported to have said, "Beware of the firasah of the believer, for he sees with the light of Allah," then he recited the verse, ""Surely! In this are the signs for the mutawassimeen." (Tirmidhi) The firasah of the believer is always truthful. The firasah is a light which Allah, subhanahu wa ta`ala, deposits in the heart of His servant. By this light, His servant distinguishes between truth and falsehood and between right and wrong. The reality of firasah is a sharp thought that enters the heart and dominates its opinion. It overwhelms the heart just as the lion does to its pray, fareesah. Note the similarity between firasah and fareesah in Arabic. However, in their linguistic forms, fareesah is an object whereas firasah is similar in form to wilayah (authority and power), imarah (authority and command) and siyasah (administration and leadership). The strength of firasah is dependent on the strength of faith. A person with stronger faith has sharper firasah. Amr bin Nujaid said that Shah al-Kermani had sharp firasah and was never wrong. He also used to say that whoever lowers his gaze away from prohibitions, restrains himself from vain desires, constructs his interior according to muraqabah (knowledge that Allah is watching over us), his exterior according to the Sunnah, and accustoms himself to eat only halal, his firasah will never be wrong. Ibn Mas`ud (r) said: There are three people with the sharpest firasah. The Egyptian who bought Yusuf (as) and then said to his wife, "Make his stay comfortable, maybe he will profit for us or we shall adopt him as a son." [12:21]. The other was the daughter of Shuaib, who said to her father with regards to Musa, "Hire him!" [28:26] And Abu Bakr (r), for he appointed Omar (r) as his successor." Another narration includes the wife of Pharaoh who said about Musa, "A comfort of the eye for me and for you. Kill him not, perhaps he may be of benefit to us, or we may adopt him as a son." [28:9] albaqir, you know about this fellow Shah al Kermani? ^^ |
The Station of Firasah Ibn ul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah from Madarij As-Salikeen Says the Hafiz: Firasah is a sense of visual acumen, perception and insight. Allah says, "Surely! In this are the signs for the mutawassimeen [those who read the signs]." [15:75] And with the regard to the meaning of mutawassimeen, here is what some of the great interpreters of the Qur'an said about it: Mujahid said it is "those who have visual acuity." Ibn `Abbas (r) said that it means "those who watch closely." Qatadah said that it means "those who learn the lessons." And Muqatil said that it means "those who reflect". There is no contradiction or apparent incompatibility amongst these interpretations. For example, one who sees the ruins and houses of those who belied Allah's Messengers would receive insight, admonition and reflection. Allah, subhanahu wa ta`ala, says the following with the regards to the hypocrites, "Had He willed, We could have shown them to you and you would have known them by their marks, but surely you will know them by the lahn of the speech!" [47:30] [u]The first thing mentioned is the firasah of the eye and watching and the second thing noted is the firasah of the ear and hearing.]/u] The lahn of their speech is namely two varieties. One is proper and the other is wrong. The proper lahn may mean eloquence as stated in the hadith: "And perhaps some of you are more eloquent in their claim than others." (Bukhari and Muslim) Or it may mean an indirect reference or indication. The wrong lahn is the speech that has grammatical mistakes. By using it, people tend to change the meaning to something incorrect or to a hidden meaning which may not have been intended. |
Ubenedictus:Okay. Just wanted to know. |
Kaysalas:Yes, will surely check it out when i reach. currently not home at this time. |
RABIUSHILE04:Dont derail her thread. You dont determine who is guided and who is not. Since you already made up your mind that anything coming from non salafi thoughts is nonsense, what else you want to hear?. Sorry, it is in your mind to claim they dont differentiate haq from batil. Thats your opinion actually. Yet Sufis raised you and thought you about Islam and its truth from polytheism. And now, the worst you can say is they dont distinct truth from falsehood?. Empirre does not discriminates scholars of Islam. You people do. Maybe you need to learn from Sheik Abdul Mojeed Eleha and Sheik Akindele. They are now cooling of after their gra gra on sufis. Hadith of Akhir zaman has confirmed your sense of reasoning. It says young men in the Last Age will only hold on to superficial or protestant version of islam DEVOIDs of its spiritual insight. So kontinu Salafs r not elegbe,? but they ganged up against Sufi in nigeria all in the name of money from Saudi. What do you call that egbe?. Dont they call themselves alhusunnah as well?. They even call themvelse "we the salafi solih" just to differetiate themselves from muslims. Alhu sunnah or not, i dont belong to any. I am muslim and that's sufficient |
lastpage:Well, that was 1980s through early 90s we maintained thar measure. We had to get rid of it as more people settling in the hood. And back then, no sophisticated thieves i know of. TIME determine security measures. "Danger" we had back then was effective. They never came back bcus our house was a known famous "danger house". That alone scared the hell of even "determined" armed robbers |
A christian man once said: "Scripture, not science, is the ultimate test of all truth. And the further evangelicalism gets from that conviction, the less evangelical and more humanistic it becomes." tintingz:The reason they are not matter can be proven from Quran, Hadith and Western world constitution. I know you can glean evidences from quran and hadith so i dont need to quote that. But from Western world perspective for instance, forget about their madness sometimes, their constitution go against racial profiling. So here, talking about skin color of Adam is profiling to me and I see nothing to gain from that. I dont deny Adam was black man. I believe that but the subject just doesn't interest me. From Africa.Unfortunetly, the problem with this is that it is not guarded. Scientists come up with theories all the time. And i hope you are not mixing timing of humans on earth with age of earth itself. Even scientists came up with different ages of earth. It doesn't mean they are incorrect but when Quran is silent on issue, it may be assignment for us to explore. Quran did not mention existence of human being before Adam, therefore, average musli would very suspicious to accept that. What if Jinns are the one scientist probably referred to?. Remember they don't believe in existence of unseen like Jinn. Angels, maybe. From my research so far it shows pre-mordern humans or pre-adamite existed.Pre=Adamic theoty caused problems once upon a time. In the 18th and 19th centuries, because white and non-white people looked superficially different, a minority of Christians thought that God had created non-whites separately from Adam, and so they must have descended from pre-Adamic creatures. Hence pre-Adamism took the form of polygenism, or multiple creations of different races. Proponents of this idea often thought that non-whites were inferior beings who could be treated as slaves. Pre-Adamism thus became the scientific justification for slavery, and a defense for racism. http://creation.com/pre-adamic-man-were-there-human-beings-on-earth-before-adam It is possible they practiced incest and it is not possible, reason it is not possible is because scientifically the DNA combination is abnormality, a child born out of incest will suffer severe birth defects and early death. Then how did procreation happen?Up till now some people still practice this. Are all the children born from incest have this problem?. I dont think so. And secondly there are no Hadiths backing it up, if there is you can present it.You have indicated earlier that you know of the hadith or narration that speaks of Cain and Abel marrying their twin sisters (from other pregnancy) but you said you do not buy the idea. So there is no need to quote it unless you want me to bring it up. Thank you.You Welcome Interestingly though, pre-Adamite idea came about by the most serious early challenge to biblical Adamism came from the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate who, upon his rejection of Christianity and his conversion to Theurgy, a late form of Neoplatonism, accepted the idea that many pairs of original people had been created, a belief termed Coadamism or multiple-adamism. I ca not unfortunatetly take pre-Adamism as absolute truth. The theory is not guarded. |
plainbibletruth:As learned as you are, do you think for a second the guy is sincere?. If I take liberty to answer him, definitely i will bring on the table what he can't chew. I just did one but he ran away just like others. For the fact that he ran away proved that he cant take the heat. You may have to excuse us and let him defend himself. |
plainbibletruth:Lol, after we already battled this last yr you still talking?. Really you did not even brought any personal attack on prophet muhammad (saw) himself. You only talked islam as a religion which you failed actually. You remember the thread where you could not prove so called trinity? So i am listening. What can you |
plainbibletruth: ![]() Ask him what he understands about what he posted (comparative picture). We can start from there ![]() |
^^^^ Now that I gave you your own dose you run away. |
Ioannes:Obviously you are a waste of time. You do not learn by talking trash what you considered "facts". So be in your world. Allow me to throw this in your face since you so much about comparison by picking texts against each other. How do you like this? So Much With Your "peaceful religion"

tintingz:Good |
tintingz:May come to this later cuz i am not really concerned about it. There is Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondria Eve, this are scientific Adam and Eve that lived in Africa, they are blacks, it is different from the white middle eastern looking Adam that Abrahamic religious people paint them.I am not concerned abut this either. Their geographical location and color of their skin dont matter to me one bit. The earth got populated through migration by early humans,Here we are. Where are these humans from?. Are you saying they existed before Adam's creation?. I also believed in pre-mordern humans aside from Adam, something some people called pre-adamite which the bible almost fall into the trap when it says "Cain went to the land of Nod and sees his wife" it shows people must have been existing in the land.This is where I am going. I think you, unlike others, arrived at this conclusion based on question asked by Angels as mentioned in the Quran Qur'an (2:30 - 33) "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood". Yes, really many including muslims have asked same question if there existed before Adam (as) humans?. Well, Allah replied them that they know not what He knows. We have not much information on that. I can not boldly confirm existence of humans before Nabi Adam. Possible explanation is that Allah gave them knowledge and characteristics of human and through that they know humans would shed blood was the reason they ask when Allah said he was going to place Khalifah on earth. So the angels meant that this type of creature usually commits the atrocities they mentioned. The angels knew of this fact, according to their understanding of human nature, for Allah stated that He would create man from clay. Or, the angels understood this fact from the word Khalifah, which also means the person who judges disputes that occur between people, forbidding them from injustice and sin, as Al-Qurtubi(a scholar who learnt from the sahaba, famous in tafsir of Quran) said. The statement the angels uttered was not a form of disputing with Allah's, nor out of envy for the Children of Adam, as some mistakenly thought. Allah has described them as those who do not precede Him in speaking, meaning that they do not ask Allah anything without His permission. When Allah informed them that He was going to create a creation on the earth, and they had knowledge that this creation would commit mischief on it The statement of Allah (azal wajal): (I know that which you do not know.) It was said that the meaning of Allah's statement, (I know that which you do not know.) is, "I have a specific wisdom in creating them, which you do not have knowledge of.'' And again, this knowledge may go beyond text. I have no pinch of evidence to suggest pre-Adamite existence. Even the Sufis who penetrate Quran, i have not heard any of them said this so far. The least they could do was talk about Nabi Muhammad's creation before Adam in spiritual realm or gave insightful thoughts about Adam himself. So far, you are not 100% sure of existence of human pre-Adam. One thing interests me though. You said there was a possiblity that they practised incenst those times. So could it not be possible that Cain bedded his sister?. Don't you think you are so closed to what he hadith said? |
Ioannes:Who Do you Follow From These two men?
|
Ioannes:So only Syrians converted to Islam?. What part of the world you live in?. Sounds like you are one of those Tarzans in the jungles who know not what's going on except for jumping one tree to another ![]() |
tintingz:What's your definition of highlighted part? |
Ioannes:All muslims are born in Islamic homes?. How about those who converted to Islam?. They MUST see convincing proofs for them to choose Islam. "nagging doubt"?. It is been over 1400yrs and still standing. Can you reason ? |
Ubenedictus:Are you christian? |
Kaysalas:Ok i understand. I am not where my computer is right now. However, the fellows are not really your brother's keepers. They could not send you the link bcus most of them are fake, the book itself is nonsense have been disabled since. That's why. They were able to obtain it as early as possible but now, the book is criticized and not noteworthy. Many links i have seen since do not work. I can not guarantee you if mine would work bcus I opened it twice since the book was published. It might be gone by now. Who knows. But will keep you posted if it is available. Dont stress yourself |
annunaki2:Have a good day. You have no evidence. Ubenedictus should not take you serious. You sound like a clown. I gave you chance to prove your rants but you failed. |
tintingz:well, we rather leave it. As suggested earlier, the story Altogether is irrelevant to me right now. But I won't disregard the hadith of their marriage to their twin sisters. We can not use current Islamic Law of our prophet (saw) and apply it to Adam's time. In the time of Nabi Adam (as), it was not haram for the brothers to marry their twin sisters. So there was no question of mahram. It is now made haram with advent of Islam. Jewish theory or not, you have to understand that we do share some similarities but might be slightly twisted. So now that you reject hadith in the regard, can you give us your opinion (and perhaps back it up even if it just scientic fact) how human procreate after Cain and Abel were born? |
annunaki2:no. If you go back and read over, I asked you to prove to me from your bible where it says they practice Judaism just as I clearly demonstrated evidence from quran. Can you do that? Instead you just talking |
annunaki2:Answer the question and stop wasting your time on typographical error. Thanks for pointing that out |
madridguy:this is sad man. Obviously this are enough to choke Buhari administration. Lord have mercy. But then, they have been recovering looted funds since obj and nothing to show for it |
annunaki2:Alright, you have nothing to say. Kindly SHUT UP |
AbdelKabir:"unsuspecting muslims"?. People arent fool. Knowledge is everywhere anyone can pick it up. I dont restrict myself to any group. That's your shortcoming right there. |
ikupakuti:Walaikum salaam. Yea, what i was trying to say actually. Just depends on how people might be able to explain it. Thats why i keep saying ilm ghaib is sub-divided. JazakaAllahu Khayran |
i might use my dad's security strategy we used to call "danger". It is a single light bulb and wired. No visitor or family after 8pm. gate locked. That thing was effective. It kills lots of big snakes that tired to scaled through the fence. Almost kill a boy that touched our fence at 9AM bcus we woke up late to run it off. But things are difference now. My dad used the danger after his meter was stolen when he completed his house in 1989 |
AbdelKabir:You confused or what?. true dream is something none can see other than you and Allah. And Allah can revealed whatever He wants to you from there unless you have another definition for "knowledge of unseen" bcuz i am lost where you driving this at. And you said it sounds like christian nonsense, very well. We not talking about them. We talking about Islam now. As for ibn hajar, help yourself bro. I think you need to re-read the breakdown again. Besides, this is ALL irrelevant bcus it is something personal to whoever individual Allah gives. Itis part of Karamat. It is not every Tom, Dick and Harry. So it is irrelevant for ummah salvation |
