1.TAFSEER SURAH SAFFAAT
THE ANGELS (Those Ranged in Ranks)
By Sheikh Abdullah Al Faisal
Compiled by Abu Hafiza
June 15th 2013 Saturday (Morning Dars)
This surah was revealed in holy Makkah.
Saffaat means those who are lined up in ranks.
Saffaat is the plural of saff (Saff is rank)
The angels are the ones who are lined up in saffaat.
One of the characteristics of this ummah is that their rows when they are straightened
to pray are like that of the angels.
Allah swears by the angels that are lined up in rows.
Allah likes when you are organised.
3

This is why Allah swears by angels that are lined up in straight lines.
Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in rows (ranks) as if they were a solid
structure.
(As-Saff 61:4)
The reason why Allah said He likes when you fight in straight rows is because Allah
doesn't like chaos.
You need to have an ameer to avoid chaos.
When you obey the ameer, you obey the Prophet and when you obey the Prophet you
obey Allah.
By those (angels) ranged in ranks (or rows).
(As-Saffat 37:1)
By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.
(As-Saffat 37:2)
Allah swears by a second batch of angels, azzaajaraat, the angels that drive the
clouds where Allah commands them too.
They cannot drive the clouds without the permission and command of Allah.
'Aisha reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "The Angels were born out of light
and the Jinns were born out of the spark of fire and Adam was born as he has been
defined (in the Qur'an) for you (i.e. he is fashioned out of clay)."
[Sahih Muslim, Book 42, Hadith #7134]
- Ath-thaqalain (man and jinn) have free will.
Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered, [Al hijri 15:26] Pickthall
Adam was made from hama (black mud) altered.
When zamakhshair said Iblis was an angel he made a mistake.
4

He was a mutazilite.
Iblis was a jinn not an angel.
Surah 66:6 refutes the ideology of zamakhshari.
O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose
fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who
disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that
which they are commanded.
(At-Tahrim 66:6)
Allah told you in this ayah that Iblis was a jinn, not an angel.
And (remember) when We said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." So they prostrated
except Iblis (Satan). He was one of the jinns; he disobeyed the Command of his Lord.
Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than
Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun
(polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc).
(Al-Kahf 18:50)
Because Allah knows when you read the ayah you are going to entertain the idea that
Iblis was an angel, Allah told you that he was a jinn.
Had he been an angel, he would have bowed down to Adam when he was commanded
to do so.
THE 25 MOST FAMOUS ANGELS OF ALLAH
1) JIBREEL
The Christians call him Gabriel.
The job of Jibreel is to reveal the books to the messengers.
Jibreel revealed the scrolls to Abraham and the psalms to David.
He revealed the Torah to Moses, the injeel to Jesus and the Quran to Muhammad.
The other job of Jibreel is to punish the wayward with natural disasters.
5

Jibreel is the holy spirit.
The Christians talk a lot about the holy spirit.
The only holy spirit that exists is Jibreel and there is no other holy spirit.
Allah mentioned the holy spirit in surah 97:4.
Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with
all Decrees,
(Al-Qadr 97:4)
1) The Ruh is the Holy Spirit.
2) Mikail
The Christians call him Michael.
If you are a Christian and you take your shahada and your name is Michael you don't
have to change your name.
His job is to provide oxygen and rain.
The Jews like Mikail but they hated Jibreel.
They hated Jibreel because he exposed their weaknesses in the Quran.
3) Israfeel
The Christians call him Raphael.
His job is to blow into the trumpet on the day of judgement.
There is a difference of opinion how many times he will blow into the trumpet.
Ibn Taymiyyah said he will blow into the trumpet 3 times.
This is the correct opinion.
The first time he blows into the trumpet, it is called raajifah.
The purpose of this blowing is to cause horror and terror.
6

The first person to hear the blowing is a farmer preparing water for his animals.
The second blowing is called raadifah.
The purpose of the second blowing is to cause death.
When raadifah takes place everyone will die except Allah.
The final blowing into the trumpet is called zajarah.
Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.
(Ar-Rahman 55:26)
And the Face of your Lord full of Majesty and Honour will abide forever.
(Ar-Rahman 55:27)
The final blowing into the trumpet is called zajarah.
When the zajarah takes place, people will be woken up from death.
This is the purpose of zajarah.
4) MALAK AL MAUT
This is the angel of death.
Allah has made him invisible because people used to abuse him before because they
feared death.
5) THE HAFADHA (THE GUARDIAN ANGEL)
He will guard your property if you recite ayat al kursi before you sleep
6) KIRAMAN KATIBIN (THE RECORDING ANGELS)
The one on the right writes down the good deeds.
The one on your left writes down your bad deeds.
They will play back your deeds to you.
7

The way a man was caught on camera shoplifting.
These angels are recording your deeds supernaturally.
They will be played back to you on Judgement Day.
Therefore you will be guilty as charged.
You will see every atoms weight of good and bad deeds because the angels will play
it back to you.
So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.
(Az-Zalzalah 99:7)
And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.
(Az-Zalzalah 99:8)
7) MUAAQABAAT (THE ANGELS THAT ATTENTD THE GATHERINGS)
They attend the gatherings of Jumuah and the gatherings of knowledge.
They record the names of those who come to jumuah.
“Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaaba and then goes for
the Salaat (prayer) (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in
Allaah’s Cause); and whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he had sacrificed a
cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned
ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and
whoever goes in the fifth hour, then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imaam
comes out [i.e. starts delivering the Khutba (religious talk), the angels present
themselves to listen to the Khutba.”
[Sahih Al-Bukhaari]
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Angels come to you in succession by
night and day and all of them get together at the time of the Fajr and `Asr prayers.
Those who have passed the night with you (or stayed with you) ascend (to the
Heaven) and Allah asks them, though He knows everything about you, well, "In what
state did you leave my slaves?" The angels reply: "When we left them they were
8

praying and when we reached them, they were praying."
(Sahih Al Bukhari)
If you sallallahu alayhi wasallam after hearing the name, Muhammad, this is
conveyed to him by the angels.
These angels attend your gatherings and report to Allah what you were doing.
They will report to Allah that you were listening to Quran and Sunnah.
They find the gatherings of those who are doing good deeds and report it back to
Allah.
8) JUNDULLAH
Jundullah means the soldiers of Allah.
Their job is to fight along side the mujahideen on the battlefield.
Allah sent 1000 of these angels to fight with the Prophet at the battle of Badr.
(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): "I will
help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another)
in succession."
(Al-Anfal 8:9)
The Prophet said that the angels who fought at Badr were the best of Allah's angels.
9) AN-NAAZI'AAT
Allah spoke about these angels in surah 79:1
By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with
great violence;
(An-Nazi'at 79:1)
An-naaziaat are the angels that pull out the souls of the wicked viciously.
Malak al maut passes the souls of the wicked to these angels.
9

These souls have a bad smell coming from them.
10) AN-NAASHITAAT
An-naaziaat are the angels that pull out the souls of the wicked viciously.
By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);
(An-Nazi'at 79:2)
These are the angels that take out the souls of the believers with ease and
tranquillity.
When it is the soul of a believer, it comes out with ease and gentleness like the water
pouring out from the water skin
When the soul of the kaafir is pulled out it is like the cat tearing up a cushion.
The souls of the believers have a pleasant smell.
The naashitaat wrap the souls up in a sweet cloth.
These angels have the most handsome faces.
11) AL MUQASSIMAAT
These are the angels who distribute Allah's barakah amongst his righteous servants.
Allah spoke about these angels in surah 51:4
And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's)
Command;
(Adh-Dhariyat 51:4)
Allah even commands the angels to distribute his barakah amongst the kuffar.
At times the kuffar have better rainfall than the Muslims.
There is better rainfall in Europe than in Saudi Arabia.
10

Allah withholds the rain when we don't pay zakah.
12) AZ-ZAAJIRAAT
Their job is to control the clouds.
Allah spoke about them in surah 37:2.
By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.
(As-Saffat 37:2)
The purpose of these clouds is to bring the rain.
They control these clouds by the permission of Allah.
13) HAMALAAT AL ARSH
They are the carriers of the Throne and they are 8 in number.
The goofy sufis say Allah's Throne means glory.
Surah 69:17 is used to refute the goofy sufis who say this.
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of
your Lord above them.
(Al-Haqqah 69:17)
Allah says that 8 angels will carry His throne.
14) AL-MUSABBIHOON
These are the angels who constantly praise and glorify Allah.
They don't do anything else.
Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises
of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the
Oneness of Allah) (saying) : "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and
knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the
11

torment of the blazing Fire!
(Ghafir 40:7)
15) AL MUSTAGHFIROON
Their job is to constantly beg Allah to forgive the sinners who are Muslims.
Their job is to intercede on behalf of the Muslim sinners.
Allah spoke about them in surah 40:7
Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises
of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the
Oneness of Allah) (saying) : "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and
knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the
torment of the blazing Fire!
(Ghafir 40:7)
When Prophet Yunus was in the belly of the whale reciting a dua, these angels
interceded for Yunus.
Narrated Qais bin Kathir: 'Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) saying
"Whoever takes a path upon which he seeks knowledge, then Allah makes a path to
Paradise easy for him. And indeed the angels lower their wings in approval to the one
seeking knowledge. Indeed forgiveness is sought for the knowledgeable one by
whomever is in the heavens and whomever is in the earth, even the fish in the waters.
And superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon
over the rest of the celestial bodies. Indeed the scholars are the heirs of the
Prophets, and the Prophets do not leave behind Dinar or Dirham. The only legacy of
the scholars is knowledge, so whoever takes from it, then he has indeed taken the
most able share.
[At-Tirmidhi]
16) NAARIKH AR-ROOH
Whenever a man impregnates his wife, on the third 40 days, Allah sends the angel to
blow in the foetus the ruh (the soul)
12

Allah commands the angel to write four things.
The first thing is his provision, whether he will be rich or poor.
The second thing is his lifespan, whether he lives for 50, 60, 70 or 80 years.
The third thing is his actions, whether he will be a practicing Muslim or otherwise.
The fourth thing is whether he will be happy or unhappy.
This is called his disposition.
17) MALAK AL JIBAAL
Malak al jibaal means the angel of the mountains.
Narrated Àisha: That she asked the Prophet , 'Have you encountered a day harder
than the day of the battle) of Uhud?" The Prophet replied, "Your tribes have troubled
me a lot, and the worse trouble was the trouble on the day of 'Aqaba when I
presented myself to Ibn Àbd-Yalail bin Àbd-Kulal and he did not respond to my
demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and
could not relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards
the sky to see a cloud shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it.
He called me saying, 'Allah has heard your people's saying to you, and what they
have replied back to you, Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to you so that
you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.' The Angel of the
Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad! Order what you
wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them." The
Prophet said, "No but I hope that Allah will let them beget children who will worship
Allah Alone, and will worship None besides Him."
[ Sahih Bukhari]
18) MUNKAR AND NAKIR
Their job is to interrogate you in the grave.
They will ask who your Lord is, who your prophet is and what your religion is.
He would then recite surah 14:27.
13

Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e.
they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. And
Allah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers,
etc.), and Allah does what He wills.
(Ibrahim 14:27)
Whenever the Prophet buried someone he would beg Allah to give them firmness
because munkar and nakir are interrogating them.
19) Ridwaan
Ridwaan is the keeper of Paradise.
He was commanded not to open the gate of Paradise to anyone before Muhammad.
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik (RA) the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I will
come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection and ask for it to be opened.
The gatekeeper will ask, ‘Who are you?’ I will say: ‘Muhammad.’ He will say, ‘I was
commanded not to open it for anyone before you.’”
[Sahih Muslim (1/188) No. 197]
20) MAALIK
Maalik is the keeper of hell.
He has never smiled since he was created and he will never smile.
Allah spoke about him in surah 43:77.
And they will cry: "O Malik (Keeper of Hell)! Let your Lord make an end of us." He will
say: "Verily you shall abide forever."
(Az-Zukhruf 43:77)
Malik is the ameer of the hellfire; he is the keeper.
21) ZABAANIA
14

These are the angels whose job is to dump the wayward in the hellfire.
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their
number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth
as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written in the Taurat (Torah) and
the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the
truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers,
and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may
say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom
He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He.
And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
(Al-Muddaththir 74:31)
The zabaania are 19 in number.
The kaafirs said they are going to gang up against these angels since there are only
19 of them.
Allah said that He made their number as a fitnah for the kaafirs.
The zabaania are mentioned as being 19 in number in previous books too.
22) HAAROOT AND MAAROOT.
You can't split these two angels up.
These two angels came down in Babylon
The knowledge could be used for good or bad.
The angels warned the people not to use it for bad.
You can't blame the money; you have to blame the person using it.
They used the knowledge to break up man from wife.
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime
15

of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils)
disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the
two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such
things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this
magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause
separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by
Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed
they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how
bad indeed was that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew.
(Al-Baqarah 2:102)
If you have a pretty wife, people are going to envy you and split you up.
They used the knowledge to work black magic and break up man from wife.
The scholars use the above ayah to say that if you dabble in black magic you become
a kaafir.
23) ZAA'IRAAT AL BAIT
They are 70000 in number
Everyday they visit the kaaba which is on top of our kaaba.
the kaaba in the heavens
Allah spoke about them in surah 52:1-4.
By the Mount;
(At-Tur 52:1)
And by the Book Inscribed.
(At-Tur 52:2)
In parchment unrolled.
(At-Tur 52:3)
16

And by the Bait-ul-Ma'mur (the house over the heavens parable to the Ka'bah at
Makkah, continuously visited by the angels);
(At-Tur 52:4)
The foundation stone of our kaaba in Makkah was laid by the angels.
They have another kaaba in the heavens which is called al bait al ma'moor.
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said in the hadith of the Miraj
(Night Journey) after his visit to the seventh heaven: “Then I was taken up to the
Frequented House (Bait-ul Mamur) and every day 70,000 angels visit it, never
returning to it again, and another (group) coming after them.”
[Sahih Bukhari, An-Nasai]
24) AL MUDABBIRAAT
Their job is to arrange Allah's command and creation.
And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you
disbelievers will be called to account).
(An-Nazi'at 79:5)
25) AS-SAABIHAAT
The saabihaat are angels that roam about. They roam about in the heavens.
And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.).
(An-Nazi'at 79:3)
End of the Dars 1
2. TAFSEER SURAH SAFFAAT –
17

THE SOOTHSAYERS ARE UNBELIEVERS
AYAH 4:
Verily your Ilah (God) is indeed One (i.e. Allah);
(As-Saffat 37:4)
- The Arabic word Ilaah is translated as God.
- Allah is One, meaning He has no partners or associates.
- This ayah is similar to surah 112:3.
"He begets not, nor was He begotten;
(Al-Ikhlas 112:3)
- This is the creed of Islam, i.e. that there is only One God.
- The creed of the Christians is that there is god the father, god the son and god the
Holy
Spirit and they are all co-equals.
- Islam is unique in the sense that you worship the Creator and not the creation.
- You are unique because you are a monotheist.
- There are three types of people: the monotheist, the polytheist and the atheist.
- Some people say there is a fourth category: the agnostic.
- The monotheist worships one God.
- The polytheist worships more than one god.
- The atheist denies the existence of God.
- The agnostic is not sure about the existence of a god.
18

- He is in doubt about the existence of his Lord.
- The atheist claims he is sure there is no God.
- A person in life falls into one of these four categories.
- A Muslim is a monotheist and a Christian is a polytheist.
- A Christian is a polytheist because he worships god the father, god the son and god
the Holy Spirit.
- A Christian is a polytheist but Allah didn't call the Christians pagans in the Quran.
- This is because: their religion had a heavenly beginning; they had a prophet who
was Jesus; they had a book which is the Injeel.
- The other reason why Allah didn't call them pagans is because you are allowed to
eat their dhabh (slaughtering) and you are allowed to marry their women.
- However in reality the Christians are pagans.
- Some Jews came to fight alongside the Prophet at the Battle of Uhud but the
Prophet didn't accept their help because they were pagans.
It has been narrated on the authority of Aisha, wife of the Holy Prophet (SAW), who
said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) set out for Badr. When he reached Harrat-ul-
Wabara (a place four miles from Medina), a man met him who was known for his
valour and courage. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) were pleased
to see him. He said: I have come so that I may follow you and get a share from the
booty. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to him: Do you believe in Allah and His
Messenger? He said: No. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Go back; I will not
seek help from a Mushrik (polytheist). He went on until we reached Shajara, where
the man met him again. He asked him the same question again and the man gave him
the same answer. He said: Go back. I will not seek help from a Mushrik. The man
returned and overtook him at Baida'. He asked him as he had asked previously: Do
you believe in Allah and His Messenger? The man said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah
(SAW) said to him: Then come along with us.
[Sahih Muslim (3/1449) No. 1817]
- The Prophet called these Jews mushriks.
19

Al-Zayla`y reported another Hadith which was recorded by Ishaq Ibn Rahawayh in his
Musnad: It is reported by Al-Fadl ibn Musa from Muhammad ibn Àmr ibn Àlqamah
from Saìd ibn Al-Mundhir on the authority of Abu Humayd Al-Saìdy who said, When
the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went out on the day of Uhud and passed
Thaniyyat-ul-Wada`, he looked behind him and there appeared a squadron. He (peace
be upon him) inquired, "Who are these?" It was said, "This is Àbdullah ibn Ubay ibn
Salul and his Jewish fellows; they are the allies of Àbdullah ibn Salam. The Prophet
(peace be upon him) asked, "Have they embraced Islam?" They said, "No, they still
hold to their religion." The Prophet replied, "Tell them to go back. Verily, we do not
seek the help of the Mushriks against other Mushriks."
- The reason why the Prophet pronounced the Jews as pagans is because they allow
their rabbis to concoct a new religion for them.
The evidence for this is surah 9:31.
They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides
Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their
own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord)
Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded
[in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilah (God -
Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)[]. Praise and
glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."
(At-Tawbah 9:31)
- Paganism is not just to bow to an idol; paganism is also to follow a man when he
makes up a new religion.
- You the follower of the religion, your shirk is the shirk of obedience.
- Your founder of the religion are legislating and legislation belongs only to Allah.
- Your shirk is the shirk of legislation.
This is why Allah asked a question in surah 42:21.
Or even do they have associates (with Allah) who have legislated for them as the
religion that which Allah has not given permission? And had it not been for the Word
20

of Verdict, indeed it would have been decreed between them, and surely the unjust
will have a painful torment.
[As-Shuraa 42:21] [Dr Ghail]
- You have no mandate to make up or follow such a religion.
- When you follow a law, you are following a deen.
- In the Quran Allah said that the law you follow becomes your deen.
So he [Yusuf (Joseph)] began (the search) in their bags before the bag of his brother.
Then he brought it out of his brother's bag. Thus did We plan for Yusuf (Joseph). He
could not take his brother by the law of the king (as a slave), except that Allah willed
it. (So Allah made the brothers to bind themselves with their way of "punishment, i.e.
enslaving of a thief") We raise to degrees whom We please, but over all those
endowed with knowledge is the All-Knowing (Allah).
(Yusuf 12:76)
- Allah said the law of the king is the deen of the king.
- So don't say that tawheed hakimiyyah is a bid’ah.
- Democracy is a deen.
- Ayah 4 of Surah Saffaat is similar to surah 18:110
Say (O Muhammad SAW) : "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that
your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God i.e. Allah). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with
his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship
of his Lord."
(Al-Kahf 18:110)
- The Christians are worshipping Jesus as a god besides Allah. Who gave them the
authority to do so? Jesus didn't give them the authority to worship him.
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is,
God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
21

[Mathew 19:17]
-Jesus didn't accept people calling him good.
- So how can you call him God?
- The only reason why you hang on to false religions is because of the pride and
arrogance of jahiliyya.
- A man asked Jesus when Judgment Day is and Jesus didn't know the answer.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my
Father only.
[Matthew 24:36]
- You need to learn these bible verses by heart in order for you to debate effectively.
- The Prophet didn’t know when Judgment Day is either.
“And when is the Hour?” He said, “The one who is questioned does not know more
about it than the one who asks.” He asked, “Then what are its Signs?” He said, “That
a maid-servant will beget her mistress and that you see barefooted, naked-bodied,
helpless shepherds construct tall buildings.”
[Bukhari 47, Muslim 4, Tirmidhi 2619, Abu Dawud 4695, Nisai 5005, Ibn Majah 63,
Ahmed 184]
- Only Allah knows when Judgment Day is because only Allah is maliki yaumiddeen.
- It is your natural instinct to acknowledge that there is one God.
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, “Every child is born on the
religion (of Islam). Then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a polytheist.”
Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, (what about) those who die before (their
parents convert them)?” He said, “Allah knows best what they would have done (if
they had survived).”
[al-Bukhari (6599) and Muslim (2658)]
22

- You have never seen 3 husbands in a home or 3 presidents in a country.
- Likewise there is only one God governing this universe.
- The heavens and earth would have been destroyed if there was more than one god
governing the universe.
Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) gods besides Allah, then verily
both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He)
above what they attribute to Him!
(Al-Anbiya 21:22)
- If there was more than one god, each god would take away what he has created.
No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with
Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what
he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah
above all that they attribute to Him!
(Al-Mu'minun 23:91)
- One god will take away the sun, the other god will take away the moon and another
god will take away the rivers; they will each take away what they created.
- It is haraam for Allah to create a being and give him the same powers as Himself.
AYAH 5:
Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every
point of the sun's risings. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
(As-Saffat 37:5)
- The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
- When the Sun goes to the west it goes there to make sajda to Allah.
23

- This ayah tells you that Allah is in control of the Sun.
- The Shiites claim that the sun, the moon and the stars are subservient to their
imams.
The spiritual status of the imam is the universal divine vice-gerency that is sometimes
mentioned by the imams (peace be upon them). It is a vice-gerency pertaining to the
whole of creation, by virtue of which all the atoms in the universe humble themselves
before the holder of authority (imams). It is one of the essential beliefs of our Shia
school that no one can attain the spiritual status of the imams, not even the cherubim
or the prophets. Imam Khomeini, Islam and Revolution: Writings and Declarations of
Imam Khomeini,
(Berkeley: Mizaan Press, 1981)
- They even claim that the atoms of the universe are subservient to their imams.
- This is shirk and it negates tawheed ar rububiyyah.
- The Sun seeks permission to go back to the east each time.
- One day Allah will refuse to give the Sun permission to go back to the east.
- Allah will say: “Rise from the west”.
- When this happens, if a kaafir takes his shahadah it will not be accepted from him.
- It will be too late.
“I entered the mosque while the sun was setting. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was
sitting. He said to me, “O Abu Dharr! Do you know where the sun is going?” I said,
‘Allah and His Messenger knows’. He said, ‘It is going in order to take permission for
prostration, and it is given permission. One day, it will be commanded, ‘Rise from
here’ and it will rise in the place where it sets." Then, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
read this verse: ‘And the Sun runs his course for a period determined for him.’(Ya
Seen, 36:38).”
(Tirmidhi, Fitan, 22)
24

- Ayah 5 of Surah Saffaat is similar to surah 70:40.
So I swear by the Lord of all [the three hundred and sixty (360)] points of sunrise and
sunset in the east and the west that surely We are Able
(Al-Ma'arij 70:40)
- The sun is a natural phenomenon of Allah.
- You are not allowed to worship the sun; you have to worship the creator of the Sun.
- Some people exaggerate in their love of the Sun and they are called the sun
worshippers.
- The infidels accuse the Muslims of worshipping the moon because some Muslim
countries have the crescent and star on their flags.
- We refute the infidels with surah 41:37.
And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.
Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if
you (really) worship Him.
(Fussilat 41:37)
- Every year we start our fast in Ramadan with the sighting of the moon so the infidels
claim we worship the moon.
- This above ayah (41:37) is the ayah we use to refute them.
AYAH 6:
Verily! We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty).
(As-Saffat 37:6)
- The word zeena means beauty.
- The Prophet said in a famous hadith that Allah created the stars for three reasons:
to beautify the lower heavens, as a guide for people and to use as missiles against
the shaitaan.
25

"Allah created these stars for three purposes: to adorn the heavens, to stone the
devils and as signs by which to navigate. Whoever seeks anything else in them is
mistaken and does not benefit from them, and he is wasting his time and effort in
seeking something of which he has no knowledge."
(Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Baab fi'l-Nujoom, 2/240) .
- Ayah 6 of Surah Saffaat is similar to surah 67:5.
And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made
such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shaitaan (devils), and have prepared for
them the torment of the blazing Fire.
(Al-Mulk 67:5)
- Allah called the stars lamps because they brighten the sky.
- The shaiateen go up to the heavens to listen to the conversations between Allah and
His righteous servants.
- It is called eavesdropping.
- The shaitaan would return to the dunya and they would pass on the information to
the soothsayers and the fortune tellers.
- These soothsayers and fortune tellers would then mix one truth with 100 lies.
-The meteors are the shooting stars.
If you seek benefit from the stars that are other than the 3 reasons you are speaking
without knowledge
WHAT DID THE ULAMA HAVE TO SAY ABOUT GOING TO THE FO R TUNE
TELLERS?
The Reality of Fortune Telling
The one who has fallen into any of these matters must repent to Allaah, by regretting
what he has done and resolving not to do it again. As for what the fortune teller told
26

him coming true day after day, this doesn’t matter, and it does not affect the shar’i
ruling in such cases at all. This may be due to one of two things:
1 – That the fortune teller used general words and phrases that reflect things that
happen to all people, such as saying “you will go through some trials, then you will
find relief” or “you will be blessed with some wealth” or “you will get married” and so
on, and the person thinks that the fortune teller is telling the truth because of that.
2 – The fortune teller told him of something true that would happen in the future, then
it happened as he said it would. This is something that the shaitaan snatched for him
from the heavens, then passed it on to the fortune teller, who added lies and false
things to it. If the incident that he spoke of happens, people believe everything he
said.
This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) pointed out
when he explained this matter. Al-Bukhaari (6213) and Muslim (2228) narrated that
‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: Some people asked the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about soothsayers. The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to them: “They
are nothing.” They said: O Messenger of Allaah, sometimes they tell us something
that turns out to be true. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “That is a word from the jinn that the jinni snatches, and he cackles it
into the ear of his familiar as a hen cackles, but they mix more than a hundred lies
with it.”
al-Bukhaari (4701) narrated from Abu Hurayra (may Allaah be pleased with him) that
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Allaah decrees
a matter in heaven, the angels beat their wings in submission to His words, making a
sound like a chain striking a rock. When the fear is banished from their hearts, they
say, What is it that your Lord has said? They say: The truth, and He is the Most High,
the Most Great.
Then the one who is listening out hears that, and those who are listening out are
standing one above the other” – Sufyaan [one of the narrators] demonstrated with his
hand, holding it vertically with the fingers outspread. – “So he hears what is said and
passes it on to the one below him, and that one passes it to the one who is below
him, and so on until it reaches the lips of the soothsayer or fortune-teller.
27

Maybe the meteor will hit him before he can pass anything on, or maybe he will pass
it on before he is hit. He tells a hundred lies alongside it, but it will be said, Did he
not tell us that on such and such a day, such and such would happen? So they
believe him because of the one thing which was heard from heaven.” i.e., he is
believed because of the one true word that was heard from heaven and passed on to
the fortune teller.
If we assume that the fortune teller told him something that did actually happen, such
as if he told him about where a lost item was to be found, or some such, and this is
what happened, if the questioner did not know it, then it is not “unseen” in absolute
terms, rather it was “unseen” to the one who did not see it or know it. The fortune
teller is able to see such things, either by himself or with the help of his helpers
among the devils of mankind and the jinn, as is well known.
To sum up: So long as your friend has repented to Allaah, then he should not pay any
attention to what the fortune-teller said or be afraid of what he said. Some of the
things he mentioned may happen, or they may not.
Usually they do not happen, because the ratio of truth – if the fortune teller receives
information from the jinn – is no more than 1%.
No Salah for 40 Nights
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a
fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty
nights.” Narrated by Muslim (2230)
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has intercourse
with a menstruating woman or with a woman in her back passage, or goes to a fortune
teller and believes what he says, has disbelieved in that which Allaah revealed to
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” Narrated by Abu Dawood
(3904), al-Tirmidhi (3904) and Ibn Majaah (936); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
The kufr mentioned in the hadeeth is to be understood in the sense of minor or lesser
kufr, according to many scholars, unless he believes that the witch or soothsayer has
knowledge of the unseen or he believes his claims to have knowledge of the unseen.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
Those who go to fortunetellers fall into three categories:
28

1 – The one who goes to a fortune-teller and asks him things without believing in what
he says. This is haraam, and the punishment of the one who does that is that his
prayers are not accepted for forty days, as it is narrated in Saheeh Muslim (2230),
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to
a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for
forty days.”
2 – When a person goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something and
believes what he says. This is disbelief in Allaah (kufr), because he is believing the
fortune-teller’s claim to have knowledge of the unseen, and believing a human’s being
claim to have knowledge of the unseen constitutes disbelief in the verse in which
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except
Allaah”[al-Naml 27:65].
Hence it says in the saheeh hadeeth: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and believes
what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him).”
3 – When he goes to a fortune-teller and asks him questions so that he can explain to
the people what he is really doing, which is deceiving people and leading them
astray? There is nothing wrong with this. The evidence for that is the fact that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to Ibn Sayyaad. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) though of something to himself.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him what he was
thinking of and he said, “Al-dukh” meaning al-dukhaan (smoke). End quote. Majmoo’
Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 2/184
Based on this, whoever goes to a fortune-teller or soothsayer and believes what he
says and believes that he has knowledge of the unseen has committed major kufr
which puts him beyond the pale of Islam. But if he does not believe what he says then
he has not committed kufr.
Whatever the case, the door of repentance is open, as the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah will accept the repentance of His slave
so long as the death rattle has not reached his throat.” (3537) i.e., so long as the soul
has not reached the throat. Every sin from which a man repents, Allaah will accept his
repentance.
29

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by
committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah
forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful”[al-Zumar 39:53]
Whatever sin a person falls into, if he repents from it, his repentance will be accepted
– even shirk.
- If you go to a fortune teller you have no salah for 40 days.
- If you go to a fortune teller and you don’t believe him it is minor kufr but if you
believe him it is major kufr.
- A man who goes to a soothsayer is only a kaafir if he believes the soothsayer.
- You have nullified your tawheed ar rububiyyah when you believe the soothsayer has
knowledge of the unseen.
- If your intention of going to a fortune teller is to disgrace and humiliate him, there is
nothing wrong with it because the Prophet did this.
- Do not despair if you have gone to a fortune teller; Allah even forgives major shirk if
you make taubah before you die.
AYAH 7:
And to guard against every rebellious devil.
(As-Saffat 37:7)
- The kaafirs are superstitious; they tell people to wish for something when they see a
shooting star.
- They think that Allah will grant the wishes they make when they see a shooting star.
- Allah mentioned one of the three purposes of the stars in ayah 7 which is to use
against the shaitaan.
AYAH 8:
30

They cannot listen to the higher group (angels) for they are pelted from every side.
(As-Saffat 37:8)
- The higher group Allah is speaking about is the gathering of the angels.
AYAH 9:
Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment.
(As-Saffat 37:9)
- A person becomes an outcast if he rebels against Allah's deen.
- Outcast in this ayah means cursed.
- The most famous outcast is the shaitaan.
- Those who follow him in his footsteps are also outcasts.
- People ask how you can call a wealthy kaafir cursed.
- Wealth is not evidence that a person is blessed because even the pharaoh and
Nimrod had wealth.
- The sign that a person is blessed is that they are following the right religion.
- Whenever Allah loves someone, Allah gives them the proper understanding of the
deen.
Narrated Muawiya: I heard the Prophet (SAW) saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a
person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant
is from Allah. (And remember) that this nation (true Muslims) will keep on following
Allah's teachings strictly and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different
path till Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established."
[Al-Bukhari (71) and Muslim (1037)]
- The most precious thing in life is hidaya (guidance)
31

- You beg Allah for hidaya 17 times a day.
Guide us to the Straight Way.
(Al-Fatihah 1:6)
- Allah said not to be sad when you see the kaafirs enjoying life.
- When you see the kaafirs driving around in their Ferrari cars and wearing expensive
clothing, don't be sad.
And whoever disbelieved, let not his disbelief grieve you (O Muhammad SAW),. to Us
is their return, and We shall inform them what they have done. Verily, Allah is the All
Knower of what is in the breasts (of men).
(Luqman 31:23)
We let them enjoy for a little while, then in the end We shall oblige them to (enter) a
great torment.
(Luqman 31:24)
- The kaafirs are allowed to have fun in the dunya for a little while and then they are
obliged to burn in the hellfire.
- Allah told you to have fun in the surah 28:77.
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the
Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as
Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not
the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers,
corrupts).
(Al-Qasas 28:77)
- If you want to have fun, get married.
- To be boring is not Islamic because Allah said to have fun but make sure it is halal.
The evidence for this is surah 37:9-10
32

Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment.
(As-Saffat 37:9)
Except such as snatch away something by stealing and they are pursued by a flaming
fire of piercing brightness.
(As-Saffat 37:10)
- A few conversations will slip through the net by Allah's will
- The fortune tellers who have contact with the jinns mix this one truth that they are
told by the jinn and mix it with 100 lies.
- People believe everything these fortune tellers say because they say 1 truth.
- When the donkey brays it has seen a shaitaan.
- When a rooster crows it has seen an angel.
- If you hear a donkey bray you should seek refuge in Allah from the shaitaan.
- If you hear a rooster crow you should ask Allah for His bounty.
Narrated By Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks,
ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel.
And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek Refuge with Allah from Satan for
(their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan."
[Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 54, Hadith #522]
- There is no hope for the soothsayers.
- Soothsaying causes people to become kuffaar.
- If you go to a fortune teller and you don’t believe him it is minor kufr but if you
believe him it is major kufr.
- In Africa, soothsayers advertise themselves in newspapers.
33

- They disguise themselves as sheikhs.
- Soothsayers are even advertised in newspapers in the UK.

End of the Dars 2
3. TAFSEER SURAH SAFFAAT –
THE ELEVEN SHADES OF KUFR
The last time we were here we stopped at ayah 11.
Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad SAW): "Are they stronger as
creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains, etc.)
whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of sticky clay.
(As-Saffat 37:11)
They are trying to ask how it is possible to be given life again after they have
disintegrated into dried bones.
This is what they were asking the Prophet.
They were trying to ask how this is possible.
This is a ridiculous question because you are trying to put limits on the powers of
Allah.
Your question is ludicrous and ridiculous.
On many occasions Allah said that the kaafirs did not give Him His due respect.
They (the Jews, Quraish pagans, idolaters, etc.) did not estimate Allah with an
35

estimation due to Him when they said: "Nothing did Allah send down to any human
being (by inspiration)." Say (O Muhammad SAW) : "Who then sent down the Book
which Musa (Moses) brought, a light and a guidance to mankind which you (the Jews)
have made into (separate) paper sheets, disclosing (some of it) and concealing
(much). And you (believers in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad SAW), were
taught (through the Qur'an) that which neither you nor your fathers knew." Say: "Allah
(sent it down)." Then leave them to play in their vain discussions. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi,
Vol.7, Page 37).
(Al-An'am 6:91)
By you asking such a question, it proves that you are trying to put a limit on the
Powers of Allah.
Allah told the Prophet to ask them a question.
The question was-
Allah said it is easier to create you than the mighty creations of Allah such as the
heavens, the earth and the mountains.
It is easier to create man.
Verily, We created them of a sticky clay. The creation of the heavens and the earth is
indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind knows not.
(Ghafir 40:57)
For you to ask how you can become a new creation after your disintegration, you are
seeking to put a limit on Allah's Powers.
Allah created you from hama (black mud altered).
Allah said the mud He used to create you is sticky.
Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered,
[Al Hijr 15:26] [Pickthall]
If we were created from black mud altered, why do we also have yellow, brown, white
and red people?
The answer to the question is that when Allah told the angel to collect the mud, the
36

angel collected mud of different colors.
People have different complexions.
These complexions have the same feelings and they have the same diseases of the
heart.
It is not just the white man who insults Muhammad.
A Somali woman tours the world and insults Muhammad.
It doesn't matter what complexion people are of; we only have one race which is the
human race.
We have different tribes but one race, the human race.
The better of you in the sight of Allah is the believer who is most righteous.
Allah didn't say in the ayah that he made you into different races; Allah said he made
you into nations and tribes.
This is because there is only one race which is the human race.
Everyone would like to say they are better than their neighbor because they think they
are of a superior race.
However Allah told you that the better of you is the believer who is most righteous.
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into
nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you
with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqun (pious - see
V.2:2). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(Al-Hujurat 49:13)
So don't follow the ideology of Hitler who believed he was of a superior race.
Hitler and the shaitaan were of the same ideology.
AYAH 37:12
37

Nay, you (O Muhammad SAW) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you
and at the Qur'an).
(As-Saffat 37:12)
Allah said they ridicule the Quran and they ridicule you.
They mock the Quran and they mock you too.
The word insolence means to be cheeky.
To mock at the Quran and to mock Muhammad is major kufr which takes you out of
the fold of Islam.
This makes you become an infidel.
Allah told you this in surah 9:65-66.
If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say:
"Was it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) and His Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?"
(At-Tawbah 9:65)
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of
you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers,
polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).
(At-Tawbah 9:66)
Into this ayah Allah is making takfeer on people who mock the Quran, the prophet or
even worse which is to mock Allah.
If you are an author of a book and people mock the book, you would feel offended.
Allah is the author of the Quran.
The Quran is kalaamullah.
So when the kuffar mock the Quran they are actually mocking Allah.
We can't even point our feet towards the Quran or put another book on top of the
38

Quran.
If you say the Quran contains discrepancies, you are saying that Allah contradicts
Himself.
THE 11 SHADES OF KUFR
1) KUFR INKAAR
This is to deny the haq
2) THE KURF OF DOUBT
If you doubt that Islam is the truth you are a kaafir.
If you doubt the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, paradise or hellfire you are a kaafir.
One of the seven conditions of shahada is yaqeen (certainty).
You’re not allowed to doubt any aspects of Islam especially one of the pillars of
Islam.
You are not allowed to doubt an aspect of Islam especially one of the six pillars of
Islam.
In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their
disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
(Al-Baqarah 2:10)
3) KURF I'RAAD
Kufr i'raad means the kufr of turning away from the message.
Allah spoke about those who practice i'raad in surah 20:124-126.
"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'an nor
acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up
blind on the Day of Resurrection."
(Ta-Ha 20:124)
39

He will say:"O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."
(Ta-Ha 20:125)
(Allah) will say: "Like this, Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not
think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be
neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)."
(Ta-Ha 20:126)
4) Kufr ISTIKBAAR
That is the kufr of pride and arrogance.
To be proud and arrogant and refuse to surrender to the hujjah because of it
Allah spoke about proud and arrogance in surah 2:34.
And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.".
And they prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of
the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).
(Al-Baqarah 2:34)
Only Allah is allowed to be proud; you are not allowed to be proud.
As long as you go to the loo you can't be proud.
5) KUFR ISTIHLAAL
Istihlaal is to make what is haram halal.
If a Muslim leader drinks alcohol, he is not a kaafir but if he allows factories to be
opened up in the country producing alcohol, he is a kaafir.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H): “Whenever a person makes halal what is
haram by consensus or makes haram what is halal by consensus or replaces the
Shari’ah that is agreed upon by consensus, then he is a Kaffir by the agreement of
the scholars of Fiqh.” –
40

[“Al-Fataawa”, Vol. 3/267]
6) NIFAAQ
Nifaaq is to say you believe in Islam but in your heart you don't believe.
A person pretends to be a Muslim when he is sent to spy on Muslims.
It is easy to recognize a spy.
He wasn't taught to make wudu properly.
He puts his left hand over his right hand when he prays.
Another reason why a person pretends to be a Muslim is because he wants to marry
a Muslim girl. Hindu men do this a lot.
They pretend to be Muslims in order to marry pretty Muslim girls.
This is the modus operandi of a hindu.
The third reason a person pretends to be a Muslim is because he wants to benefit
from the wealth of the Muslims.
If he is living in a community where the Muslims have shops and businesses, he
pretends to be a Muslim because he wants to live off hand offs from the Muslims.
You have to pay him to be a Muslim.
In the time of the Prophet the same thing happened.
Some people took shahada and they became poor. They came to Muhammad and they
asked him to feed them.
The bedouins say: "We believe." Say: "You believe not but you only say, 'We have
surrendered (in Islam),' for Faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey
Allah and His Messenger (SAW), He will not decrease anything in reward for your
deeds. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(Al-Hujurat 49:14)
Imaan had not yet entered the hearts of these people.
41

Any society in which you have poor kaafirs and rich Muslims, some kaafirs pretend to
believe because they want to be fed by the Muslims.
They are using Islam to secure handouts from the Muslims.
7) KUFR ISTIHZAA
This is the kufr of mocking Allah, the Rasool or the deen.
Allah spoke about this kufr in surah 9:65-66.
If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say:
"Was it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) and His Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?"
(At-Tawbah 9:65)
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of
you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers,
polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).
(At-Tawbah 9:66)
Not only do the infidels mock the message, but they mock Muhammad as well.
The whole purpose of mocking the message is for people not to follow it.
In the world we have two hizbs: hizb Allah and hizb Shaitaan.
The battle between truth and falsehood is a never ending battle.
Allah spoke about them mocking the deen again in surah 37:12-15.
Nay, you (O Muhammad SAW) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you
and at the Qur'an).
(As-Saffat 37:12)
And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.
(As-Saffat 37:13)
42

And when they see an Ayah (a sign, a proof, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at
it.
(As-Saffat 37:14)
And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!
(As-Saffat 37:15)
Whenever you are the torch bearer of the truth, the kaafirs try to assassinate your
character so that people will turn away from you.
The kaafirs try to find discrepancies in the message for people to reject the message.
This is what they did in the time of the Prophet.
Because history repeats itself, expect to find many websites ridiculing the Prophet
and seeking to find contradictions in the Holy Quran.
The kaafirs are desperate because Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world
today and it is a threat to their satanic lifestyle.
8) KUFR OF DISOBEDIENCE
Allah spoke about the kufr of disobedience in surah 18:50.
And (remember) when We said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." So they prostrated
except Iblis (Satan). He was one of the jinns; he disobeyed the Command of his Lord.
Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than
Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun
(polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc).
(Al-Kahf 18:50)
This is an example of the kufr of disobedience.
Disobeying Allah can be kufr.
Another example of the kufr of disobedience:
This example was given by the Prophet himself.
43

The Prophet recited surah 9:31.
They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides
Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their
own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord)
Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded
[in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilah (God -
Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)[]. Praise and
glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."
(At-Tawbah 9:31)
There is no obedience to the creation when you are disobeying Allah.
The Prophet gave the tafseer of this ayah to Adee ibn Haatim.
The Prophet asked don't they (the priest and rabbis) make halal haram and haraam
halaal.
Adee ibn Hateem replied yes and the Prophet said that this is how they worshipped
their priests and rabbis.
9) KUFR OF LYING
This is to lie on Allah, His Rasool or the Quran.
This is major kufr which takes you out the fold of Islam.
If you lie about your age or how much money you have in your bank account, you are
not a kaafir.
If you deliberately fabricate a hadith to use it to promote a false ideology, you
become a kaafir.
This is the modus operandi of a goofy Sufi or a shady shiite.
They deliberately fabricate hadiths to spread their dodgy ideology among
unsuspecting Muslims.
Narrated By Anas: The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths
to you is that the Prophet said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then
(surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
44

[Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 3, Hadith #108]
Will the man be in the hellfire forever or will he be taken out?
Abdullah al Hakami said if you quote a fabricated hadith unknowingly you are not a
kaafir.
The person who deliberately fabricates a hadith to spread his ideology among
unsuspecting Muslims is a kaafir and he will be in the hellfire forever.
This person is guilty of lying on the Rasool.
When he lied on the Rasool, he is guilty of lying on Allah.
And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is
being invited to Islam? And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (polytheists,
wrong-doers and disbelievers) folk.
(As-Saff 61:7)
This is the modus operandi of Shiites and Sufis.
You can't read their books because they have fabricated hadiths in them.
They like to lie on Allah and His Rasool.
10) KUFR ISTIBDAAL
This is to replace the sharia with manmade laws.
The Arabic word istibdaal means to replace.
so if someone replace the shariah with manmade laws, exchange the shariah he is a
kafir by the ijamaah of the scholars of fiqh
Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: “And it is known from the religion (of Islam) by necessity and
by the consensus of all Muslims that whoever legalizes to follow other than the
religion of Islam or a Shariah other than the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW), he is a
Kaafir. And his kufr is similar to that of the one who believes in some part of the book
(Quran) and reject some of it.”
45

[Majmua al-Fataawa (28/524)]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H): “Whenever a person makes halal what is
haraam by consensus or makes haraam what is halal by consensus or replaces the
Sharee’ah that is agreed upon by consensus, then he is a Kaffir by the agreement of
the scholars of Fiqh.” –
[“Al-Fataawa”, Vol. 3/267]
Ibn Kathir (rh) said: “So Whosoever abandons the wise Shariah which was revealed
upon Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the seal of the prophets, and goes to other abrogated
Shariah for judgment, he becomes a Kaafir. So how about the one who goes to al-
Yaasiq (man-made law) for judgment and gives it precedence (over the Shariah of
Muhammad (SAW). Whosoever does this has become a Kaafir by the Ijma of the
Muslims.”
[Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah, (Vol. 13, p119)]
Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baaz said: "There is no Eeman for the one
who believes the laws of the people and their opinions are superior to the Hukm of
Allah and His Messenger or that they are equal to it or that they resemble it or who
leaves it or replaces it with fabricated laws and institutions invented by people, even
if he believes that the laws of Allah are more encompassing and more just."
[Wujoob Tah'keem Shari'ah Allah' (pg. 16-17)]
When the saudi salafis try to debate you, use the fatwa of bin baaz to prove to them
that they are hypocrites.
Use their own sheikh against them.
They are like the Christians who eat pork even though the Bible says not to eat pork.
11) KUFR OF DABBLING IN BLACK MAGIC
Allah sent two angels to Babylon.
They were teaching people knowledge that could be used for good or bad.
46

They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime
of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils)
disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the
two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such
things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this
magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause
separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by
Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed
they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how
bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves, if they but knew.
(Al-Baqarah 2:102)
They were teaching people knowledge that could be used for good or bad.
The angels were sent as a test and they warned the people not to become kuffar by
misappropriating the knowledge.
Even though the angels warned them, they didn't take heed.
They used the knowledge to break up man from wife.
This ayah (2:102) is used by the four great Imaams to prove that dabbling in black
magic makes a person a kaafir.
If you go to a soothsayer and didn't believe in him, you are a faasiq (sinner)
If you believe in the soothsayer you become a kaafir.
The angels were sent as a test and they warned the people not to become kuffar by
misappropriating the knowledge.
AYAH 13:
And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.
(As-Saffat 37:13)
The kufr which is mentioned in the above ayah is the kufr of i'raad (the kufr of turning
away).
47

AYAH 14:
And when they see an Ayah (a sign, a proof, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at
it.
(As-Saffat 37:14)
The kufr which is mentioned in ayah 14 is the kufr of ridiculing the signs and deen of
Allah.
-This is called KUFR ISTIHZAA.
AYAH 15:
And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!
(As-Saffat 37:15)
When they say this is magic, they are lying.
The kufr they are practicing is the kufr of lying.
They are calling the hujjah lies.
AYAH 16:
"When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be
resurrected? (As-Saffat 37:16)
They are trying to deny recreation after disintegration.
Because the kaafirs are evil personified they can't afford to believe in the Day of
Resurrection.
It will give them mental depression to believe in the Day of Resurrection and the
hellfire.
They comfort themselves by giving themselves false hope by denying the day of
resurrection.
They say it is all a myth.
48

The kuffar themselves admit they will be sure losers if there is a day called judgment
day.
They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?
(An-Nazi'at 79:10)
"Even after we are crumbled bones?"
(An-Nazi'at 79:11)
They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"
(An-Nazi'at 79:12)
They even cheat on their wives with men.
They molest their own daughter.
They even dabble in black magic.
They eat every haraam and drink every haraam.
When they were in the dunya, they were not righteous.
So they say that if there is a day called judgment day they will be sure losers.
They were not righteous; they were human devils.
It is in George Bush, Blair, and Ariel Sharon's interest to deny Judgment Day.
They were human devils and they were evil personified.
To believe in Judgment Day will cause them to live a life of mental depression.
Because they are nothing but human devils who belong to the hellfire to abide therein
forever
"And also our fathers of old?"
(As-Saffat 37:17)
49

Why are you asking about your fathers of old?
If you will be resurrected, why will your fathers be exempted of being resurrected?
This is yet another ridiculous question coming from the kuffaar.
Why are you asking about your fathers of old?
If you will be resurrected, why will your fathers be exempted of being resurrected?
This is yet another ridiculous question coming from the kuffaar.
The British media asked Tony Blair how many illegal immigrants there are in the UK.
Tony Blair said he didn't know.
This is a ridiculous question.
No government in the world knows how many illegal immigrants there are in their
country.
This is another example of kuffaar asking ridiculous questions.
Wisdom begins with the fear of Allah.
Sufyan Ath-Thawri from Abdur Rahman Bin Abbas said Ayas Abu Yahya related to me
from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA) he used to say in his sermon the best provision is
piety and the peak of wisdom is to fear Allah.
[Bayhaqi in Sha'ab al Imaan (1/470) and Sunan al-Kubra]
Say (O Muhammad SAW) : "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."
(As-Saffat 37:18)
The tafseer of this ayah is that you will be resurrected blind and crawling on your
face.
Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, such will be in an evil
state, and most astray from the (Straight) Path.
50

(Al-Furqan 25:34)
A man asked the Prophet how they will crawl on their face.
(Ta-Ha 20:124)
The Prophet (saw) said that Allah who has the power to make them walk on their feet
in the dunya has the power to make them crawl on their face in the akhira.
This is the humiliation Allah is talking about.
End of the Dars 3
4.TAFSEER SURAH SAFFAAT
THE TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN INTO THREE TIMES
June 22 2013 SAT
AYAH 16
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be
resurrected?
(As-Saffat 37:16)
This is a question they are asking.
51

They find it strange that after they have disintegrated into dried bones and dust they
will be resurrected
They are trying to say that recreation after disintegration is farfetchedness and it
doesn't make sense.
-Their resurrection shall take place with total humiliation.
-They will be resurrected blind and they will be crawling on their face.
The evidence for the infidels being resurrected blind is surah 20:124.
(Ta-Ha 20:124)
This is the ultimate humiliation you will suffer on the day of Judgment is surah 20:125
He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."
(Ta-Ha 20:125)
The evidence for the infidels crawling on their face is surah 25:34.
Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, such will be in an evil
state, and most astray from the (Straight) Path.
(Al-Furqan 25:34)
Abu Hurayra reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “On the Day of
Resurrection, mankind will be gathered in three categories - a category of those
walking on foot, another of riders and the third of those walking on their faces.”
Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, how would they walk on their faces?” He
said, ‘Surely, he who makes them walk on their feet is Able to make them walk on
their faces. Know that they will walk on their faces safeguarding from every ascent
and thorn.”
[Sunan Tirmidhi (5/305) No. 3142, Musnad Ahmad (2/363) No. 8740]
52

This is what Allah means when Allah says that they will be resurrected in a humiliated
state.
The creation of the heavens and the earth is more difficult than to create man.
So how can you deny your recreation when the sun, the moon, the seas, etc. is harder
to create than man.
It will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)], and behold,
they will be staring!
(As-Saffat 37:19)
The popular concept is that the angel will blow into the trumpet two times but this is
the wrong concept.
The correct concept is that the trumpet will be blown into three times.
This is the view of ibn Taymiyyah.
-The first blowing into the trumpet is Raajifah. The purpose of it is to cause shock and
awe.
-The second blowing into the trumpet is called raadifah.
The purpose of raadifah is for everyone to die.
Even the angel Israfeel will die when raadifah takes place.
(Ar-Rahman 55:26)
(Ar-Rahman 55:27)
Only Allah shall remain alive after the second blowing into the trumpet.
The third blowing into the trumpet is called zajrah.
53

Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid
your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to
Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of
deception (a deceiving thing).
(Al Imran 3:185)
The third blowing into the trumpet is called zajrah.
When the third blowing takes place everyone will be resurrected and they will come
out of their graves.
They will be gathered together in groups according to their religion.
That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their
deeds.
(Az-Zalzalah 99:6)
Muslims will be with Muslims, Christians will be with Christians, Agnostics will be with
agnostics.
Those who say the angel will blow into the trumpet have made a huge mistake.
On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the
mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die),
(An-Nazi'at 79:6)
The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),
(An-Nazi'at 79:7)
(Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.
(An-Nazi'at 79:8)
Their eyes cast down.
(An-Nazi'at 79:9)
54

They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?
(An-Nazi'at 79:10)
Even after we are crumbled bones?"
(An-Nazi'at 79:11)
They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"
(An-Nazi'at 79:12)
But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)].
(An-Nazi'at 79:13)
Those who say the trumpet will be blow into twice are mistaken; their Aqeedah is
wrong.
The translator is making a mistake because he said the raadifah and the zajrah is the
second blowing
Ibn Taymiyyah said that those who say the trumpet will be blow into twice, their
Aqeedah are wrong.
After the third blowing, they will be staring at the hellfire.
And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees,
(An-Nazi'at 79:36)
They will say: "Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!"
(As-Saffat 37:20)
Youmud deen is called the Day of Recompense.
It is called the Day of Recompense because Allah will treat you according to the deen
you followed in the dunya.
55

If you follow Islam in the dunya Allah will treat you in a favorable way.
The evidence for this is surah 3:85
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and
in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Al Imran 3:85)
The evidence for this is surah 3:19
Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to
them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs,
revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.
(Al Imran 3:19)
Man will say on judgment day woe be unto us
Youmul hasrah is the day of grief and regret.
Judgment day has 50 names. Youmul hasrah is one of them.
AYAH 21
(It will be said) : "This is the Day of Judgment which you used to deny."
(As-Saffat 37:21)
-In this ayah, Allah refers to Judgment Day as youmul fasl.
-You differed in regards to aqeedah, fiqh and manhaj in the dunya.
-Allah will decide who is right and who is wrong on Judgment Day.
-This is why Judgment Day is called youmul fasl.
Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,
(An-Naba 78:17)
Youmul fasl is a fixed time and only Allah knows the time.
56

To prove that Judgment Day is a day of grief and regret, our evidence is surah 67:8-
10.
It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask:
"Did no Warner come to you?"
(Al-Mulk 67:8)
They will say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we belied him and said:
'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'"
(Al-Mulk 67:9)
And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have
been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"
(Al-Mulk 67:10)
They are regretting not listening to the warners.
If only they had listened to the Warner and not worshipped Jesus.
If only they had used their aql (intelligence), they would never end up today in the
hellfire.
This is the evidence that Judgment day is a day of grief and regret.
The other evidence for this is surah 25:28.
"Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend!
(Al-Furqan 25:28)
The last evidence to prove Judgment Day is a day of grief and regret is surah 78:40.
Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the
deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me!
Would that I were dust!"
(An-Naba 78:40)
57

Man will wish he was dust. When he sees the dogs and the birds become dust, he will
wish he could be like them.
AYAH 22
(It will be said to the angels) : "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their
companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship.
(As-Saffat 37:22)
The tafseer of this ayah is that you will be grouped together on judgment day with the
people with your creed and your character
On Judgment day you will be associated with those who you associated with in the
dunya.
Narrated Anas: A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment)
saying, When will the Hour be?" The Prophet said, "What have you prepared for it?"
The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said,
"You will be with those whom you love." We had never been so glad as we were on
hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., "You will be with those whom you love.")
Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I hope that I will be with them
because of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.
[Bukhari]
So be careful with who you associate with in the dunya.
Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah,
are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely), you will enter it.
(Al-Anbiya 21:98)
You and your false deities are nothing but fuel for the hellfire
If the false deity you worship was a Sufi master, he will be in hell because he didn't
stop
the people from worshipping him
He enjoyed being worshipped because he had a god complex.
AYAH 22
58

(It will be said to the angels) : "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their
companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship.
(As-Saffat 37:22)
AYAH 23
"Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);
(As-Saffat 37:23)
AYAH 24:
"But stop them, verily they are to be questioned.
(As-Saffat 37:24)
What is the matter with you, why do you not help one another as you used to do in the
dunya?
-This is the question asked by the wayward.
-You encouraged each other to worship false deities and to build synagogues.
-You helped each other to do every haram under the heavens.
-You helped each other to invade Iraq and Chechnya.
-Obama despises Putin because he came to power by killing his own people.
-You call each other a traitor if the other kaafir didn't join in the haram.
-You help each other to disobey Allah.
-Every European country joined in to insult Muhammad after Denmark did.
-The white man will be remembered in history as the only man to use cartoons to
insult Muhammad [saw].
59

-You the infidels help each other in every haram under the heavens.
So you are asked a question in ayah 25.
AYAH 25
"What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in
the world)?"
(As-Saffat 37:25)
Why don't you help each other now on Judgment Day.
Friends on that Day will be foes one to another except Al-Muttaqun (pious - see
V.2:2)
(Az-Zukhruf 43:67)
They can't help each other because they will be enemies at each other's throat except
the believers.
How can they help each other? Everyone will try to save themselves from the hellfire
on Judgment Day.
That Day shall a man flee from his brother,
('Abasa 80:34)
And from his mother and his father,
('Abasa 80:35)
And from his wife and his children
('Abasa 80:36)
Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others
('Abasa 80:37)
60

On that day a man will run away from his brother, his father and his children.
Each man has enough on his plate to deal with he can't pay attention to others.
Therefore he doesn't give a damn about anyone, not even his mother or his wife.
On Judgment day, it is all about Me, Myself and I
The kaafirs in the dunya behave in the same way. It is a very selfish society in the
USA.
They don't give you anything there.
It means you stand alone.
Nay, but that Day they shall surrender,
(As-Saffat 37:26)
On that day they will surrender to the decree of Allah.
They will surrender to Allah's wrath, punishment and chastisement.
AYAH 27
And they will turn to one another and question one another.
(As-Saffat 37:27)
AYAH 28
They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the
right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, order us for polytheism, and stop
us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."
(As-Saffat 37:28)
AYAH 29
61

They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.
(As-Saffat 37:29)
If you were a sincere a Muslim you would not have followed someone deviant and
worshipped the graves
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
(Al-Fatihah 1:5)
So don't blame anyone else but blame yourself because you were not a sincere
believer.
The followers are trying to blame the leaders who led them to kufr and shirk.
This is the reality of guilt.
If three men rob a bank and get caught they turn on each other.
Each one is trying to save himself from a 20 year prison sentence.
On the day of judgment the mureed (blind follower) will turn against his teacher
seeking to blame him for leading him astray into KUFR, SHIRK and ZANDAQA.
ZANDAQA means HERESEY.
The teacher will say to the mureed on judgment day, "you were not a sincere
believer".
This is why the mureed was able to be led astray.
If you were sincere, why didn't you ask about the HUJ JAH, not even once, you just
followed
It is haraam to blind follow in regards to AQEEDAH
A munaafiq will never have 2 qualities: knowledge of the deen and a beautiful
character.
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “Two characterstics
cannot combine in a hypocrite: good character and an understanding of religion.”
62

[Sunan Tirmidhi (5/49) No. 2684, al-Thiqat Ibn Hibban (8/227) No. 13149, al-Mu’jam
al-Awsat al-Tabarani (8/75) No. 8010, al-Madkhal ila al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi
(pg. 256) No. 357]
If you were sincere, you would never have followed the teacher in his ZANDAQA.
To prove to you, you have no good in you, the Prophet said whenever Allah wants
good for you He gives you the proper understanding of the Deen.
Had Allah seen any good in you, He would have given you the proper understanding
of the Deen.
Narrated Muawiya: I heard the Prophet (SAW) saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a
person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant
is from Allah. (And remember) that this nation (true Muslims) will keep on following
Allah's teachings strictly and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different
path till Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established."
AYAH 30
"And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were transgressing people
(disobedient, polytheists, and disbelievers).
(As-Saffat 37:30)
-Don't blame those with authority for leading you astray.
-You chose soft Islam over real Islam
-Islam without JIHAD, SHARIA and KHILAFAH
-That is the Islam you wanted
Even the Shaitaan will wash his hands off those who follow him on Judgment Day.
And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah
promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no
authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me
not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former
63

act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the
world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers,
etc.)."
(Ibrahim 14:22)
The Shaitaan is saying he had no authority over you.
He called you and you responded to him.
He dangled the carrot in front of you and you took a bite.
He tempted you and you followed your evil and corrupted desires.
Likewise the wicked scholars will wash their hands off their followers.
When those who were followed, disown (declare themselves innocent of) those who
followed (them), and they see the torment, then all their relations will be cut off from
them.
(Al-Baqarah 2:166)
And those who followed will say: "If only we had one more chance to return (to the
worldly life), we would disown (declare ourselves as innocent from) them as they have
disowned (declared themselves as innocent from) us." Thus Allah will show them their
deeds as regrets for them. And they will never get out of the Fire.
(Al-Baqarah 2:167)
These scholars will say to their students that they were not sincere.
The followers didn't ask for HUJJAH.
They didn't want to practice Islam; they wanted to practice hislam.
Hislam means his own dodgy version of Islam.
Make your mind up on which one you want to follow.
AYAH 30
64

And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were transgressing people
(disobedient, polytheists, and disbelievers).
(As-Saffat 37:30)
AYAH 31:
"So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly
(have to) taste (the torment).
(As-Saffat 37:31)
AYAH 32
So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray." (As-Saffat 37:32)
They led people astray because they themselves were astray.
If a person doesn't have the Haqq, how can he give it to others? It is impossible
They taught dodgy AQEEDAH because they themselves had dodgy AQEEDAH.
AYAH 33
Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.
(As-Saffat 37:33)
These above mentioned verses are clear evidence we don't give the excuse of
ignorance to people who follow wicked scholars.
The wicked scholars and their followers will both share the punishment in the day of
judgment.
The wicked scholars promoted democracy even though democracy is the religion of
the shaitaan.
The wicked scholars allow you to join the army of the TAGHUT even though the only
army a Muslim can join is the Mujahedeen.
65

The wicked scholars allow you to pray to the graves and seek intercession from the
inhabitants of the graves even though praying to the graves is Major Shirk which
makes you a kaafir.
The wicked scholars preach that to dismantle the Sharia of Allah is a Minor shirk even
though Allah turned the Jews into apes and swine’s for dismantling the Sharia in the
era of David.
FIQH UL WAAQI
The wicked scholars preach that to learn fiqh ul waaqi is like learning the bible even
though the Prophet said the Muslims in their love and affection for one another is like
one body.
AYAH 33
Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment (As-Saffat 37:33)
A Muslim should not follow a wicked scholar and expect Allah to let him off on
Judgment Day because Allah said in surah 37:33 that they will both share in the
torment.
AYAH 34:
Certainly, that is how We deal with Al Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the
disobedient to Allah, etc.)
(As-Saffat 37:34)
The Mujrimum Allah is speaking about in the above ayah are those who rebel against
the Haqq and make up their own religion.

End of the Dars 4
5. TAFSEER SURAH SAFFAAT
THE FRUITS OF THE QUR’AN
(Morning) June 24th 2013
The trumpet shall be blown into three times on Judgment Day.
The 1st blowing is called raajifah.
The 2nd blowing is called raadifah.
The 3rd and final blowing is called zajrah.
Purpose of each blow:
1st blowing is to cause shock and awe.
2nd blowing will cause people to die.
- Even the angels will die.
- Because of this Allah said in surah 55:26-27.
-Allah took the soul of the angel who blows into the trumpet.
67

(Ar-Rahman 55:26)
Allah will give him his soul back to blow into the trumpet for the third time.
(Ar-Rahman 55:27)
3rd blowing of the trumpet takes place everyone will be resurrected and they will be in groups.
- People will be grouped according to the religion they followed.
- Muslims will be with Muslims; Christians will be with Christians, etc.
That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds.
(Az-Zalzalah 99:6)
AYAH 28:
They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of
one of us and beautify for us every evil, order us for polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e.
Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."
(As-Saffat 37:28)
-This ayah is of particular importance because this is the plight of some people in India,
Pakistan and Bangladesh.
-They follow people who tell them to worship the graves.
-Praying to the graves has been beautified for them so they left monotheism.
-The reason why they beautify polytheism is because shirk is money.
-They collect money to build monuments.
-The money can be raised in a month but they collect money for a year.
-They collect money for the refurbishment of the monument.
-They tell you to buy drapes for the monuments so that the person in the grave intercedes for
you.
-The Sufi master’s use shirks to make money.
-They encourage you to build monument, make pilgrimages to them and when you visit the
graves they tell you to donate to it.
-Shirk is a money spinner.
-The people will blame the leaders for beautifying shirks for them.
-You don't want tawheed because shirk is money.
-The people who beautify shirk for them; you yourselves were not sincere believers.
- If you were a sincere Muslim, why were you led astray by a Sufi, a Barelvi of a Shia?
-You fell into the web of the person who beautified shirk.
68

AYAH 29:
They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.
(As-Saffat 37:29)
-We know the man is speaking the truth because the Prophet said:
- If Allah wants 'good' for you, He gives you the proper understanding of the deen.
- If you were sincere, you would not have followed the Sufi, Barelvi or Shia version of Islam.
- A person who is a jaahil with no taqwa is a munafiq because the Prophet said:
Narrated Muawiya: I heard the Prophet (SAW) saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a person,
He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah.
(And remember) that this nation (true Muslims) will keep on following Allah's teachings strictly
and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different path till Allah's order (Day of
Judgment) is established."
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “Two characteristics cannot
combine in a hypocrite: good character and an understanding of religion.”
[Sunan Tirmidhi (5/49) No. 2684, al-Thiqat Ibn Hibban (8/227) No. 13149, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-
Tabarani (8/75) No. 8010, al-Madkhal ila al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (pg. 256) No. 357]
AYAH 30:
And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were transgressing people (disobedient,
polytheists and disbelievers) (As-Saffat 37:30)
The shaitaan will repeat these same words on Judgment Day.
The evidence for this is Surah 14:22.
And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah promised you a
promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you
except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I
cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a
partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for
the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
(Ibrahim 14:22)
he shaitaan will say he rejected faith in the kufr you were practicing when you worshipped
him; even the shaitaan will wash his hands off those who worship him.
-The shaitaan is saying that when you followed him you worshipped him. If you disobey the
creator to obey the creation you are worshipping the creation.
-the shaitaan is saying that he only tempted you because you gave in to your temptations; he
led you like a lamb to his slaughter.
-People who tell you to worship the Prophet and the graves will say it is your fault you
followed them.
-the grave is an idol that people worship they led you astray because you yourselves were
astray.
69

-They had no knowledge of tauheed, so how do you expect them to teach you tauheed?
AYAH 31:
So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to)
taste (the torment).
(As-Saffat 37:31)
They led you astray because you yourselves were astray.
AYAH 32:
So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."
(As-Saffat 37:32)
AYAH 33:
Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.
(As-Saffat 37:33)
This ayah is similar to surah 2:166-167.
When those who were followed, disown (declare themselves innocent of) those who followed
(them), and they see the torment, then all their relations will be cut off from them. (Al-Baqarah
2:166)
And those who followed will say: "If only we had one more chance to return (to the worldly
life), we would disown (declare ourselves as innocent from) them as they have disowned
(declared themselves as innocent from) us." Thus Allah will show them their deeds as regrets
for them. And they will never get out of the Fire.
(Al-Baqarah 2:167)
On Judgment Day, those who were followed will wash their hands off their followers.
-They will wish they could have one more chance to return to the dunya,
-so they could disown their sheikhs.
-The leaders and the followers will turn on each other on Judgment Day.
-Another reality of Judgment Day is that everyone will become enemies at each other’s throats
on Judgment Day except the pious ones
Friends on that Day will be foes one to another except Al-Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2).
(Az-Zukhruf 43:67)
-Another reality of Judgment Day is that a man will run away from his mother, his father, his
wives and his kids.
-on Judgment Day, there will be no family ties.
-You are going to say: "myself, myself"
-You won't give your good deeds to anyone because the only currency Allah ‘taala will accept
from you on Judgment Day is your pious deeds.
-You will guard your good deeds fiercely.
70

-Allah told you that you and your sheikh will share the torment so why do you blind follow
your sheikh.
-Who told you that Allah will let you off for blind following your sheikh?
-Who told you that Allah will let you off for blind following your sheikh who is a wicked
scholar?
AYAH 34
Certainly, that is how We deal with Al Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the
disobedient to Allah, etc.).
(As-Saffat 37:34)
-The mujrimun that Allah is speaking about in this ayah are those who dabble in kufr, shirk and
zandaqa.
-the Arabic word zandaqa means heresy.
-any aqeedah that doesn't coincide or agree with Quran and sunnah is zandaqa.
AYAH 35:
Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).
(As-Saffat 37:35)
-The pride which is made mentions of in this ayah is the pride of jahiliyyah.
-Some people hang on to their false religion in the name of pride.
-Some football teams are losing 5-0 but they are still playing; they are playing for pride.
-Some people are following a false religion like Judaism and Christianity in the name of pride.
Allah spoke about these people in surah 48:26.
When those who disbelieve had put in their hearts pride and haughtiness the pride and
haughtiness of the time of ignorance, then Allah sent down His Sakinah (calmness and
tranquility) upon His Messenger (SAW) and upon the believers, and made them stick to the
word of piety (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and they were well entitled to
it and worthy of it. And Allah is the All-Knower of everything.
(Al-Fath 48:26)
Allah said ‘hammiyyatal jaahilia’ which is the ‘pride and arrogance of jaahilia.’
-Allah is speaking about when Quraish stopped the Muslims from entering Makkah to perform
umrah.
-nothing caused them to prevent the Muslims from performing umrah except the pride and
arrogance of jaahilia
In the Bible, it says: Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
