I write therefore I am/I am what I write

Always be Qitāl/Combat-Ready

Allah states: “Combat has been imposed upon you, in spite of it being hateful to you. But, perhaps you hate something which is best for you & love something which is worse for you. And, Allah knows while you don’t.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.216)

The Aforementioned-Post details which Kinds/Types of Weaponry necessary to combat via ad-Dunyā/The Mundane. Each of what I’ve mentioned is for each of the 3-Dimensions of the Human-Being:

a. Principle-Weaponry is to arm the Spiritual-Dimension.

b. Integrity-Weaponry is to arm the Psycho-Emotional Dimension.

c. Primal-Weaponry is to arm the Primal-Dimension.

Allah states (self-describing Themselves): “It’s They whom created both Death & Life, challenging which of you behaves best.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.67, V.2)

For the Muslim, our Entire Mundane-Existence is a War. Every Day is a Fitnah/Battle against ourselves, struggling to choose between Right & Wrong…Good & Evil…etc. And, all the Weaponry mentioned are 💯%-Essential to ensure Daily&Lifelong-Victories, as we journey via Mundane-Life. And this precisely how/why These-Weapons are 💯%-Necessary.

Like I always tell People:

Courage isn’t the “Absence-Of-Fear”. Courage is the Willingness&Ability to confront Fear.

    The ayah says الذي خلق الموت و الحياة he is the one who created death and life NOT THEY.

    Stop mistranslating ayaat and referring to Allah with they/them pronouns.

    The Qur’an uses singular Arabic pronoun “huwa” and singular verb forms when referring to Allah. There is nothing in the Arabic that becomes plural or “they.” So translating it as “they/them” is not coming from the grammar of the text

    قال الإمام البخاري رحمه الله في صحيحه (9/124)
    باب قل أي شيء أكبر شهادة قل الله [الأنعام: 19] فسمى الله تعالى نفسه شيئا، وسمى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم القرآن شيئا، وهو صفة من صفات الله، وقال: كل شيء هالك إلا وجهه [القصص: 88].
    Imam al-Bukhari rahimahu Allah said in his Sahih:
    “Chapter: Say, what thing is greatest in testimony? Say: Allah [6:19]. So Allah ta‘ala called Himself a thing (shay’), and the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam called the Qur’an a thing, and it is an attribute from the attributes of Allah, and He said: Everything will perish except His Face [28:88].

    Imam Al Bukhari told the truth and Gareth is wrong . And wrongly accused another of kufr for saying what imam Al Bukhari said .

    Do you accuse Al Bukhari of kufr as well??!!!!

    We believe Al Bukhari and reject you Gareth , calling Allah “they/themselves “.

      You’re a Mushrik/Shirker:

      Allah literally states,
      about Themselves,
      that They are:

      “خالق كلّ شيئ”

      “The Creator of everything.”

      Since Allah is (obviously) the
      Khāliq/Creator of All-Ashyā’/Things:

      To claim that Allah is a Shay’/Thing,
      this literally claims that at 1-Time
      Allah never existed. So, how’s it even
      possible, for Allah to not exists
      (when Allah literally names Themselves

    An ignorant person might say if Allah is a “thing,” then He enters into the statement of Allah:
    allah khaliq kull shay wa huwa ala kull shay wakil (az-zumar 39:62)
    Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.

    But Allah is the Creator of every created thing, and as for Allah, He is the Creator. And the Creator cannot be created, because if He were created, made, and brought into existence, then the one who created Him and brought Him into existence would be the true Creator instead of Him, and he would not be Allah.
    And if it were assumed that this second one was also created, then he would not be a creator either, until the matter in clear reasoning and necessary reflection leads to a single necessary existent Creator, whose existence is from Himself, not preceded by non-existence, and not followed by annihilation. He is the Creator alone, and everything besides Him is created and subject to Him. And that One Creator is what people of faith know as Allah, the One, the Unique, the Absolute.

    And similarly, if a person were to say: Allah exists, and everything that exists is created by Allah.
    It would be said: every created existent is created by Allah. And the Creator cannot be created, as already mentioned.
    The conclusion is that the terms “shay” (thing) and “mawjud” (existent) are shared terms that apply to both the eternal and the created, the Creator and the creation.
    This usage does not imply that the Creator creates Himself, simply because He is called a “thing” or “existent,” since that would combine two contradictions: a Creator not preceded by non-existence and a created being preceded by non-existence.

    And Allah knows best.

        Al-Hafiz said: “Thing” is equivalent to “existing” in language and customary usage. As for their saying, “So-and-so is not a thing,” it is an exaggeration in dispraise, and thus it is described with the attribute of non-existence.

        Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in Majmu‘ al-Fatawa: There is a distinction between supplicating to Him and reporting about Him. He is not called upon except by the Most Beautiful Names, but as for reporting about Him, it is not restricted to names of praise only. Rather, one may report about Him using a good name or a name that is not blameworthy, even if it is not judged to be intrinsically good, such as the term “thing,” “essence,” and “existent.”

        Ibn al-Qayyim said in Bada’i‘ al-Fawa’id: What is used in the field of names and attributes is توقيفي (based on revelation), whereas what is used in the field of reporting is not required to be restricted to revelation, such as “the Eternal,” “thing,” and “existent.”

    فإن الشيء يساوي الموجود لغة وعرفا كما قال ابن حجر في الفتح، وقد بوب البخاري على هذه المسألة فقال: باب: قل أي شيء أكبر شهادة قل الله ـ فسمى الله تعالى نفسه شيئا.
    قال ابن حجر في الفتح: وذكر قوله: قل أي شيء أكبر شهادة ـ وحديث سهل بن سعد بعد أثري أبي العالية ومجاهد في تفسير استوى على العرش: ووقع عند الأصيلي وكريمه: قل أي شيء أكبر شهادة ـ سمى الله نفسه شيئا قل الله، والأول أولى وتوجيه الترجمة أن لفظ أي إذا جاءت استفهامية اقتضى الظاهر أن يكون سمي باسم ما أضيف إليه فعلى هذا يصح أن يسمى الله شيئا وتكون الجلالة خبر مبتدأ محذوف أي ذلك الشيء هو الله ويجوز أن يكون مبتدأ محذوف الخبر، والتقدير الله أكبر شهادة والله أعلم، قوله: وسمى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم القرآن شيئا وهو صفة من صفات الله ـ يشير إلى الحديث الذي أورده من حديث سهل بن سعد وفيه أمعك من القرآن شيء وهو مختصر من حديث طويل في قصة الواهبة تقدم بطوله مشروحا في كتاب النكاح وتوجيهه أن بعض القرآن قرآن، وقد سماه الله شيئا، والشيء يساوي الموجود لغة وعرفا، وأما قولهم فلان ليس بشيء فهو على طريق المبالغة في الذم فلذلك وصفه بصفة المعدوم، وأشار ابن بطال إلى أن البخاري انتزع هذه الترجمة من كلام عبد العزيز بن يحيى المكي فإنه قال في كتاب الحيدة سمى الله تعالى نفسه شيئا إثباتا لوجوده ونفيا للعدم عنه وكذا أجرى على كلامه ما أجراه على نفسه ولم يجعل لفظ شيء من أسمائه، بل دل على نفسه أنه شيء تكذيبا للدهرية ومنكري الإلهية من الأمم وسبق في علمه أنه سيكون من يلحد في أسمائه ويلبس على خلقه ويدخل كلامه في الأشياء المخلوقة فقال ليس كمثله شيء فأخرج نفسه وكلامه من الأشياء المخلوقة ثم وصف كلامه بما وصف به نفسه فقال وما قدروا الله حق قدره إذ قالوا ما انزل الله على بشر من شيء ـ وقال تعالى: أو قال أوحي إلي ولم يوح إليه شيء ـ فدل على كلامه بما دل على نفسه ليعلم أن كلامه صفة من صفات ذاته فكل صفة تسمى شيئا بمعنى أنها موجودة، وحكى ابن بطال أيضا أن في هذه الآيات والآثار ردا على من زعم أنه لا يجوز أن يطلق على الله شيء كما صرح به عبد الله الناشئ المتكلم وغيره، وردا على من زعم أن المعدوم شيء وقد أطبق العقلاء على أن لفظ شيء يقتضي إثبات موجود وعلى أن لفظ لا شيء يقتضي نفي موجود إلا ما تقدم من إطلاقهم ليس بشيء في الذم فإنه بطريق المجاز. اهـ.
    وقال العلامة عبد الله الغنيمان في شرح كتاب التوحيد من صحيح البخاري: باب قل أي شيء أكبر شهادة قل الله ـ فسمى الله تعالى نفسه شيئا، وسمى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم القرآن شيئا، وهو صفة من صفات الله وقال: كل شيء هالك إلا وجهه ـ يريد بهذا أن يطلق على الله تعالى أنه شيء، وكذلك صفاته، وليس معنى ذلك أن الشيء من أسماء الله الحسنى، ولكن يخبر عنه تعالى بأنه شيء، وكذا يخبر عن صفاته بأنها شيء، لأن كل موجود يصح أن يقال: إنه شيء، قال الحافظ: الشيء يساوي الموجود، لغة، وعرفا، وأما قولهم: فلان ليس بشيء فهو على طريق المبالغة في الذم، فلذلك وصف بصفة العدم. اهـ.
    وقال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية في مجموع الفتاوى: ويفرق بين دعائه والإخبار عنه، فلا يدعى إلا بالأسماء الحسنى، وأما الإخبار عنه، فلا يكون باسم سيئ، لكن قد يكون باسم حسن، أو باسم ليس بسيئ، وإن لم يحكم بحسنه، مثل اسم شيء، وذات، وموجود.
    وقال ابن القيم في بدائع الفوائد: ما يطلق عليه في باب الأسماء والصفات توقيفي، وما يطلق عليه من الأخبار لا يجب أن يكون توقيفيا، كالقديم، والشيء، والموجود.

    Indeed, the thing (al-shay’) is equivalent to “that which exists” in language and customary usage, as Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari. Al-Bukhari entitled a chapter on this issue, saying: “Chapter: ‘Say: Which thing is greatest in testimony? Say: Allah’ — thus Allah تعالى named Himself a “thing (shay’).”
    Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari:
    He mentioned the verse: “Say: Which thing is greatest in testimony” and the hadith of Sahl ibn Sa‘d, after the reports of Abu al-‘Aliyah and Mujahid in the تفسير of “He rose over the Throne.” In the narration of al-Asili and Karima it appears: “Say: Which thing is greatest in testimony” — Allah named Himself a thing: “Say: Allah,” and the first interpretation is more correct.

    The explanation of the chapter heading is that the word “ayy” (which) when it comes as an interrogative implies that, apparently, the thing it refers to may be named with the name of what it is attached to. Based on this, it is correct to call Allah a “thing,” and the divine name would be the predicate of an omitted subject, meaning: that thing is Allah. It is also possible that it is a subject with an omitted predicate, meaning: Allah is the greatest in testimony. And Allah knows best.

    His statement: “And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم called the Qur’an a ‘thing,’ and it is an attribute from the attributes of Allah” — this refers to the hadith he transmitted from Sahl ibn Sa‘d, in which it says: “Do you have anything from the Qur’an with you?” This is a shortened version of a long hadith in the story of the woman who offered herself in marriage, which has been fully explained in the Book of Marriage.

    The explanation is that part of the Qur’an is Qur’an, and Allah has called it a “thing.” And a “thing” is equivalent to “that which exists” in both linguistic and customary usage. As for their saying, “So-and-so is nothing,” it is a form of exaggeration in dispraise, and therefore it is described with the attribute of non-existence.

    Ibn Battal indicated that al-Bukhari derived this chapter heading from the words of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Yahya al-Makki, who said in Kitab al-Hayda: Allah تعالى named Himself a “thing” as an affirmation of His existence and a negation of non-existence from Him. Likewise, He applied to His speech what He applied to Himself, and did not make the term “thing” one of His names. Rather, it indicates Himself as a thing, as a refutation of the Dahriyyah and deniers of divinity among the nations.

    It was already known in His eternal knowledge that there would be those who would deviate regarding His names and mislead His creation, and they would include His speech among created things. So He said: “There is nothing like Him,” thereby excluding Himself and His speech from created things. Then He described His speech with what He described Himself with, saying: “And they did not estimate Allah as He should be estimated when they said: Allah has not revealed anything to any بشر,” and He said: “Or he said: It has been revealed to me,” while nothing was revealed to him.

    Thus He indicated His speech through what He indicated Himself with, so it is known that His speech is an attribute of His essence. Every attribute is called a “thing” in the sense that it exists. Ibn Battal also reported that these verses and آثار refute those who claimed that it is not permissible to apply the term “thing” to Allah, as stated by ‘Abd Allah al-Nashi’ the theologian and others, and also refute those who claimed that the non-existent is a “thing.” The rational scholars have unanimously agreed that the word “thing” implies affirming existence, and that “not a thing” implies negation of existence, except for their usage such as “he is not a thing” in dispraise, which is metaphorical usage.

    End quote.

    The scholar ‘Abd Allah al-Ghunayman said in his explanation of Kitab al-Tawhid from Sahih al-Bukhari:
    Chapter: “Say: Which thing is greatest in testimony? Say: Allah” — thus Allah تعالى named Himself a thing, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم called the Qur’an a thing, and it is an attribute from the attributes of Allah. He also said: “Everything will perish except His Face.” The intended meaning here is that it is permissible to describe Allah تعالى as a “thing,” and likewise His attributes. This does not mean that “thing” is one of the Beautiful Names of Allah, but rather that it is reported about Him that He is a thing, and likewise His attributes are reported as being a thing, because every existing entity may be said to be a “thing.”

    Al-Hafiz said: “Thing” is equivalent to “existing” in language and customary usage. As for their saying, “So-and-so is not a thing,” it is an exaggeration in dispraise, and thus it is described with the attribute of non-existence.

    Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in Majmu‘ al-Fatawa: There is a distinction between supplicating to Him and reporting about Him. He is not called upon except by the Most Beautiful Names, but as for reporting about Him, it is not restricted to names of praise only. Rather, one may report about Him using a good name or a name that is not blameworthy, even if it is not judged to be intrinsically good, such as the term “thing,” “essence,” and “existent.”

    Ibn al-Qayyim said in Bada’i‘ al-Fawa’id: What is used in the field of names and attributes is توقيفي (based on revelation), whereas what is used in the field of reporting is not required to be restricted to revelation, such as “the Eternal,” “thing,” and “existent.”

        حديث شريف يؤكد أهمية حفظ القرآن الكريم:
        عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إنَّ الذي ليس في جَوْفِهِ شَيءٌ مِنَ القُرْآنِ كَالْبَيْتِ الخَرِبِ». (رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح).
        شرح الحديث:

        In this hadeeth reported by Al Tirmidhi which is classed as hasan saheeh, are the words شيء من القران something from the quran . Shay from the Quran.

        And the Quran is the speech of Allah. Not created .

        And it is called شيء shay in this

            It’s your own limited understanding which says shay شيء means makhlooq مخلوق .

            It means it exists . Not created .

            شيء refers to anything in existence.

Then Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said to him, “Do you know شَيْء (any part) of the Quran?” He replied, “Yes, I know such-and-such Surah and such-and-such Surah,” naming them.

    This shows that the word شيء refers to what exists .

    Not only which is created .

    The hadeeth of Sahl ibn Saad which is in Bukhari uses the word shay to refer to an iron ring as well as surahs of the Quran .

    This proves shay شيء doesnt mean created things only, but refers to that which EXISTS.
