Maqasid: goals for Muslims, why?
We every day - the good in us - has several tasks that he performs in the day and night to feel that he is still alive, there are no awake from sleep except for the reason that behind us are things we do, whether for religion or this world, and it is known in psychology that the least time you do is an insurance plan on your
worldly life be 3 years to feel safe, you know what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and there are international companies that reach their goals and plans for a period of 100 years, and were it not for these goals, they would not renew anything in their products... Now God - come - I give you small daily goals. Let's metaphorically call them targets like when you first wake up Heaven angels bear witness to your work this day whether you are mentally alert as you say it or not? It was.
The Messenger of God
may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, if he wanted to sleep, said: In your name, O God, I die and live. And when he wakes up from his sleep, he says: praise be to God, who sometimes after He made us die, and to Him is the resurrection (Bukhari, Muslim, and others).
Any renewal of the covenant, renewal of thanksgiving for the blessing of life and others
As for the great goals, call them the ceiling of expectations or goals for your presence in this life, and they are the five purposes. When we get to know them, we feel that we have not been left in vain in this life without religious insurance. Perhaps you did not insure your life or what you possess, but securing ideas is one of the things that many people overlook, like who I am, what I did and what I will do after death, something like insurance, but I have ideas that can get you out of religion if you think about them... Let's start:
The concept of purposes
The term Maqasid al-Shariah refers to the general goals that Sharia seeks to achieve in people's lives, It is also called the special goals that have been initiated to achieve each of them a special rule.
The five purposes
The people of the heavenly religions and the sane people of the children of Adam agreed that the most important thing by which the human condition is corrected is their preservation of five universal matters, It is what is called the five goals (religion, soul, mind, offspring, money).
First: The preserving of the religion
Before we delve into Islamic thought and legislation, why did God Almighty want to preserve religion, let me tell you ordinary words that are not legislation: Do we as human beings need religion? Did you know that there are about 4000 religions in the earth, why do we love religion? Why are we religious? Why does each one of us adhere to his religion if he knows that there is something more correct than it? Is it an instinct in us? Yes, it is an instinct in us, especially in times of crisis. Have you - God forbid - drowned once and were you feel ? Lonely? who's you remember in this difficult moment? Nobody: no wife - no children, No father or mother, who you called and told him to save you? The Lord - Blessed and Exalted be He - is not it? did you wonder after you came back to your normal life? Perhaps yes, if your answer is yes, then know that our need for religion is a need for water and air, especially in times of crisis, or at the time of major questions when a loved one is lost or buried under the dirt. You wonder and wonder if life really should be lived? Why all this running after property and then leaving it and walking? You will say: It is Life and this basic truth Death is part of life, yes we all say that, did you find it A real pain reliever for your thoughts? Impossible isn't it? Let us admit that our need for religion is innate, so it dwells or nourishes the soul in us. All we hate is do and do not do, which is the main reason for the existence of these religions on earth. We want someone to relieve us and live on our own desires, and no haram or halal disturbs us in the sweet moment. Seriously think you will notice this.
The religious thoughts about the Religion aspect
Allah says
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَالنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴾ [الروم: 30].
So set your face upright for the religion, the instinc in which God created people on, There is no substitute for God’s creation, that is the sovereign religion, but most people do not know.” (Al-Rum: 30).
God - Blessed and Exalted be He - in this noble verse says to you: His face is for religion (Hanif: leaning from polytheism to faith), and what does this mean? Whenever you get confused in a situation, notice your facial expressions and your eyes take pictures from here and there and you can't Control it, and if you are not satisfied with the circumstances in your life, this matter will only get worse, He prescribes medicine for you: He knows that there are many ideologies (intellectual method) in the earth that cause children to turn gray. He says to you, do not look to the right or left, but rather turn your face towards the religion. “Islam is here with obedience.” people on it? They say in the vernacular, “Naturalism prevails.” Here, no matter how hard you try not to adhere to religion, you will find something that bothers you until you land on a shore, and then he confirms this to you in a sentence, There is no alteration of God’s creation.” Then he assures you that this religion is Qayyim: Al-Qayyim: the master, meaning the master of all religions, but “most people do not know” and you are an expert a minority will not be flogged except with religion and its laws. You are the one you like to be with. This is your choice alone, and it will have its consequences tomorrow. God know.
Now what is the function of religion in my life and what is specifically required of me?
1 - The explanation
And that is through teaching people the matters of their religion, and clarifying and clarifying them, so that what is not part of it is not mixed with religion what's nothing from it, He says about the People of the Book
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ (187)
And when God took the covenant of those who were given the Book, that you should make it clear to the people, and do not conceal it, so they have cast it behind their backs, and they bought with it for a small price ۖ Evil is what they buy (187)
And if the talk is about the People of the Book, but we are concerned with this talk as Muslims: we know the religion or part of it, then we did not tell the people about it and explain it to them, and we rejected it: that is, we cast it away from our lives, and we bought the world and took advantage of iwe did not show the religion to the people.
2 - The practical application
You will not find in the Qur’an a saying or knowledge without action (Those who believe are always linked to it in the Qur’an: and they do good deeds) and it is not one good but good, and the Lord, Blessed and Exalted be He, warns this matter when he says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لا تَفْعَلُونَ
Those who believe you do not say what you do not do (
3- Respect the recipient's mentality
Do you know what modern science has reached in all aspects of life? Do you know that robots are now loaded with at least 3 Ph.D.s and various sciences, and equipped with real human minds, not licensing, so learn how to turn this information into scientific treasures, moving through the Machine? Do you imagine a person in the West or in the East who carries in his head a lot of science, programming, astronomy or other sciences, and still believes in a God? He hears from you about religion? Do you not fear God in him and say logical, rational words that respect his background? Ali Ibn Abi Talib - may God be pleased with him - said: “Tell the people about what they know, would you like to be told a God and His Messenger lie, What does this mean? (What they know) And if I was less knowledgeable than them, should I not tell them? No, but respecting the mentality of the recipient is one of the duties of the era, so attach with your words what science has reached if you can do so.
4 - Freedom of belief
Allah says
لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِيالْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
(If your Lord had willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, would you force people to be Believers)This verse and many others call for you to respect people’s beliefs even if they are not as you like, even if your religion is the correct on, It is a call from God - Blessed and Exalted be He - since 1442 years for the protocol for choosing the creed. There is no compulsion in religion and we do not have to guide people.
5- The legislation of jihad
In order to enable religion, ward off aggression, and protect belief, there are more than 21 types of jihad such as honoring parents, teaching people, learning, Hajj and Umrah for women and others, According to intention and sincerity, do not deprive yourself.
6- Performing the principles of worship and the pillars of Islam
From prayer, zakat, fasting and pilgrimage, after pronouncing the two testimonies, these acts of worship are among the most important of their secrets and their ruling is that it connects the servant to his Lord and strengthens his relationship with him, which establishes the origin of faith in himself and renews it.
7 - Obligation and protection of the call to God
And providing security for its campaign
Allah says
﴿وَلْتَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ آل عمران: 104]
“And let there be among you a nation that invites to the good, and they enjoin what is right, order with what's good, and forbide what's evil, And those are the successful ones, Al Imran: 104
8 - Legislation of the penalty for apostasy
This is so that a person is serious about embracing Islam, and so that he does not accept Islam except after complete conviction its owner, Islam does not compel anyone to embrace it. Rather, God does not accept anything from the religion except that which stems from the conviction of the Muslim, If a person enters it, he is supposed to be convinced of the decision he has taken, and if he apostates after that, then this means that he has caused an intellectual and political confusion by which the conditions of society are disturbed, and he will lose his desired intellectual and psychological stability, as God Almighty said, clarifying the call of the polytheists to this policy:
ِAllah says
﴿ وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمِنُوا بِالَّذِي أنْزِلَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَجْهَ النَّهَارِ وَاكْفُرُوا آخِرَهُ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴾ [آل عمران: 72].
And a group of the People of the Book said, “Believe in that which was revealed to those who believed in the face of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it, so that they may return” (Al Imran: 72).
In view of this, the punishment for apostasy was legislated: to protect the seriousness of belief, and the sanctity of religion.
The second goal: self-preservation
Among the necessities of human life: the infallibility of the soul, and the preservation of the right to life, can we call it the right of life, or the gift of God? How do we say that and there are people who have committed suicide, and how do we say this and there is a so-called euthanized death in the West, and others were concerned with long life and called themselves Transhuman, and between these and those, people do not feel the value of life, do you not see people on the white beds wishing for additional moments to enter their lives to see their children graduate, . This is life, and it is the first gift from God - the Most High - and whoever wants to get rid of it is like the one who receives a gift on his birthday and throws it on the ground and smashes it in front of those who gifted him with it. Life is for something that hurts us from the harm of the world to say as Allah says: ( Oh God, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of the Fire).
Islam has legislated several methods for self-preservation
1- Marriage
is legislated for the sake of procreation and reproduction and to create souls to outlive the world
Allah says
﴿ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْأَزْوَاجًا لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ﴾[الروم: 21].
And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find repose in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy (Al-Rum: 21).
He created for you a wife from your own self, why from your own self,for she is not of the jinn, not an animal and not a robot, if she hurt you one day you will not break her upside down, or at least you will be crushed Psychologically, you do not know what technology will do to you if you do not use it optimally, I'm talking about mental well-being. Why did He create for you a wife (to live with) and what does that mean? accommodation: soothes his pain: calms it down, eases it, and you say my dwelling is in, do-it-yourself neighborhood, you mean comfort, convenience, and non-competence that you feel outside the house, the wife was not a palliative for your external pain and wounds, and at the very least, she did not cost you as much you cost in front of people outside, you really live there,
Then He made only between you
(Affection: in the beginnings and perhaps to the ends) but most (mercy) is what remains for the last of the age, few of them build homes and live a lifetime on love, but if one of you (the two of you) needs the other party, he can inhabit the other’s wounds, whether psychological or physical, with the least of a kind word, no schadenfreude, and a normal relationship... This is God’s will, as for what happens in marriages. On the ground, this is what is not pleasing to God - the Most High -
2 - It is obligatory for a person to provide himself with the means to sustain his life
From eating and drinking, to providing clothing and housing, it is forbidden for a Muslim to abstain from these necessities to the extent that threatens the survival of his life, It obligated the state to establish the agencies that guarantee public security for individuals, such as the judiciary, the police, and others, in order to achieve security for the community.
3- It is obligatory to preserve the dignity of the human being by preventing slander and insults
Allah says
﴿ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِمَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُبِينًا ﴾ [الأحزاب: 58
And those who abuse the believing men and believing women without what they have earned So they have put up with slander and a manifest sin.” [Al-Ahzab: 58]
The entire Qur’an is a description of personalities present around you everywhere, not for entertainment, but for consideration and ideals to bring you closer to your daily life, If you watch it, you will testify to the truthfulness of the Qur’an from a point where it does not count. Here in the noble verse: God describes some people as mischievous: those who harm the believing men and women with a condition that is (without what they have earned) i.e.
They did not do anything that deserves this harm, as if they carried something heinous on their shoulders, which is (Buhtan: fabricating a lie - which is to remind a person of a fault that does not exist, and slander is a major sin) and not only that, but a sin: a clear and obvious sin, and you know that the scandal of the world is in reality half a million viewers on the media, but the scandal of the hereafter is before the nations, and we are a nation saying that we are loved by God as the Jews, so let’s see tomorrow are we spoiled or what? - Oh God, we ask you to forgive, and have mercy, you are the most honorable and the most honorable.
4 - Legislation of licenses because of excuses for hardship and harm
Which causes harm to the soul, such as: the concessions to break the fast in Ramadan due to illness and travel, and the shortening of prayer while travelling.
5- Islam forbids killing oneself, whether a person kills himself or someone else kills him,
Allah says
﴿وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا ﴾ [النساء: 29]
“And do not kill yourselves, for God is merciful to you.” [An-Nisa: 29]
There are no misplaced names in Islam, such as removing devices from the patient unless it is ordered by the doctor, and no merciful death when one of them swallows, poison voluntarily and dies in a few minutes in front of his loved ones, if they are found, and the strange thing is that God Come - append the noble verse that He was merciful to you? Why ? That you want to get rid of your life to get rid of suffering, suffering is part of life. Rather, call it life’s challenges to get you out of the phase of childhood, even if you are in your sixties, to the phase of life and hereafter maturity that understands life and its grace, and the bitterness of losing those around you, when they truly loved you, God is merciful to you, so never kill yourself under any name, but there are necessities that allow prohibitions.
Allah says
﴿ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَاالنَّاسَ جَمِيعًا ﴾ [المائدة: 32
Whoever kills a self without a self, or corruption in the Earth, it is as if he killed all people, And whoever saves a life, it is as if he saved the life of all people.” (Al-Ma’idah: 32)
What is this, kill only one, carry the burdens of all mankind (as if) to bring the meaning closer, the noble verse is similar to you two things that we can do in our daily livesA - Killing a person with a speeding car, inciting him to kill him, or otherwise, or giving him a deadly medicine...etc.
B - Corruption on earth: What is corruption on earth?
Ethics, which is indeed the case, but God - the Most High - talks about moral corruption, (Say to the soul) and material corruption “corruption in the land” from killing biodiversity, or throwing waste “clothes waste” that does not decompose even for 100 years, so its final resting place will be the oceans, It destroys biodiversity in the oceans, and then brings evil to humans, birds and fish, or deliberate forest fires, although it produces nitrogen, which is very good for the planet, but it destroys various types of plants, And various habitats for animals, so they colonize other habitats and change the ecosystem, or viruses that are made in laboratories and other types of course of the corruption in the land.
and look
It is as if he killed all people and whoever saved them “he said the word of truth” or prevented corruption in any way, or lifted the injustice of only one person, as if he saved all people, but isn't this an exaggeration? And does God - come - exaggerate - ask forgiveness for God, but to live in yourself the value of life for others does not belong to you, so understand that your crime is great, so do not think about it from the beginning. And God is higher and knows best.
and note
If you are a woman who puts cosmetics on her face, nails, or other things, did you know that there are thousands of cosmetic products that carry (animal experiments) within it? they try it on them before you put it safely on your cheeks, and I hear you say, and what is my fault that an animal is tormented and loses its eye or flays its skin because of chemical experiments on it? You don't have to, turn the products on their backs, and if they have a small green check mark or any meaning that they respect nature, use them, otherwise you will be joint with the owners of animal experiments hand by hand, and if the company puts these signs in a false way, then there is no blame on you at the time. and God knows best.
Allah says
﴿ وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا النساء: 93]
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, abide in it, and God became angry with him and cursed him, and prepared for him a great punishment. Women: 93)
All this because of killing one person, I will ask forgiveness and repent to God - What is this exaggeration? - the subject is a matter of principle, did you know that there are approximately 4000 religions on the face of the earth, that is, did you know that the believers in God - the Almighty are few? Do you know that they are less than a few because of (may God be pleased with them) and you took one of the least few and killed him, do you have children? do you love them Are they few or many? Do you like to kill one of them is your son on the pretext that you have other children, we are not the children of God, we are not slaves, but this is such example for to know the kill is forbide on the children of Adam except the killer drserve the kill.
And in the Hadith
(Whoever kills a covenant will not smell the wind of Paradise)
The smell of heaven, dear reader, is from a 500-year journey, so whoever was killed in a church or outside the church institutes: i.e. from the People of the Book, and did not the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - interprets a reason or a non-cause, so he does not smell the scent of Paradise.
6 - Retribution required for premeditated murder, blood money and penance for wrongful killing
Allah says
قال تعالى: ﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى ﴾ [البقرة: 178]
) O you who have believed, retribution is written upon you, among the dead.” [Al-Baqarah: 178]
7- Declaring jihad in order to preserve souls and protect the weak
وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا (75)
And why should you not fight in the cause of God and of the weak among men, women and children who say our Lord, expel us from this village whose people have been unjust, and make for us from Yourself a guardian and grant us a protector (75)
8 - It is obligatory for a Muslim to rescue someone who is being killed unjustly, or who is in danger, if he is able to save him.
9 - It is also prescribed for a person to defend himself if someone who wants to attack him attacks him
Without bearing any responsibility if the attacker dies, and it is proven that he wanted to attack him.
The third objective: Preserving the mind
The mind in Islam is great importance, as it is the source of responsibility, and in it is the generosity of man and his preference over all other creatures, and he is prepared to carry out the caliphate on the earth and bear the trust from God.
Allah says
﴿ إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ﴾ [الأحزاب: 72]
We have offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains so they refused to carry it, and were pitying it, and the man carried it (Al-Ahzab: 72).
We take from the noble verse
1- Honesty: integrity, honesty, sincerity, firmness on the covenant, loyalty, reversed by betrayal of trust, from this linguistic definition we understand that trust can be the religion (Islam) and any trust with you or with someone else can be a trust, whether it is the trust of a word that you do not pay attention to and destroy a person’s life because of your lack of trust, In the word that came out of your mouth, and you do not want to be a liar after a period of time, and you can be a trustee of property no matter how small it is - if someone leaves you a book to read and you do not return it to its owner on the pretext that he has a lot of books and it didn't come out of his mouth that he gave you it, it's a betrayal of trust, money and jewelry and others, And the one who wrote you a power of attorney, so you exploited it for your benefit and lost his interests, the list goes on that is why the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: (If the trust is wasted, then wait for the Hour, How did you waste it, O Messenger of God? He said, “If the matter is assigned to someone who is not in it, then wait for the Hour.” Narrated by Bukhari) So if you see a man in a wrong place, if he does not master his profession and you put him in this place to favor or embarrass anyone, then remember the words of the Messenger (The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “He who is in charge of anything from the affairs of Muslims, appoint a man while he finds who he is better than him, he betrayed God and His Messenger.} [ p: 16 ] And in a narration: “Whoever imitates a man who works against a gang, and he finds in that gang more satisfactory than him, then he has betrayed God, betrayed His Messenger, and betrayed the believers.” Narrated by al-Hakim in his Sahih, and some of them narrated that it was from what Omar said to Ibn Omar.
On the authority of al-Tirmidhi al-Hakim, on the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, may God be pleased with him,
On the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: “God Almighty said Adam: O Adam, I offered the trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, they could not bear it, Are you carry it and within in it? He said: What is in it, O Lord of the worlds? He said: If you carry it, it will be paid, and if you lose it, it will be tortured. bear it including, He did not stay in Paradise: except for the time between the first prayer and the afternoon prayer, until Satan took him out of it.
And on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman who said:
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, told us two hadiths, I saw one of them and I was waiting for the other, He told us that honesty came down at the root of men's hearts, Then the Qur’an was revealed, so they learned from the Qur’an, and they learned from the Sunnah, then he told us about raising the trust.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Then the honest is:
A - It is possible that the trusts that someone entrusts you with be small or large, and the debt could be “the wires”, and it could be that the person puts in a position and he is not worthy, and it is the first to understand and of course God is higher and knows best.
B- Man carried it imagining that he was able to carry it, but life proves to us every day that there are deeds too many are custodians or given to those who do not deserve them, and here we are waiting for the hour if this matter spreads, betrayal is the opposite of honesty.
For this particular importance, Islam preserved reason and enacted legislation that guarantees its safety and vitality, including:
- He forbids everything that could affect the mind, harm it, or disrupt its energy, such as alcohol and drugs.
Allah says
﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ والْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴾ [المائدة: 90
“O you who have believed, only wine and facilitator, idols, and the lottery is an abomination from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful” [Al-Ma’idah: 90]
A- He legislated the deterrent punishment for intoxicants, due to its seriousness and its extremely harmful effect on the person the individual and the community.
3- He raised the mind in the spirit of independence in understanding and consideration
Allah says
﴿ أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً قُلْ هَاتُوابُرْهَانَكُمْ ﴾ [الأنبياء: 24 )
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, where is your proof.” (Al-Anbiya’: 24)
We benefit from the noble verse
In the past, we used to stand in front of such verses, and the words were confined to our mouth and were limited to small words that we do not know what to explain, and now after the data that we may know a small part of, we understand why God Almighty repeats them all the time in the Qur’an that they have taken gods besides Him, and God asks them a question of interrogation or denunciation. Draw it what you want, but it is a logical and rational question: Say, bring your proof: your evidence that there are gods other than God.
Dear reader: Have you heard of someone who worships white mice and builds a temple of pure gold for them? please, do not forget to remove there is no god but God from your heart:
4 - How much he called for the development of the mind materially and morally
The materially: With good food that strengthens the body and stimulates the mind, and from here he hates the judge to spend while he is hungry, and prefers serving food over prayer if they are present together, and from food for the mind also, that you do not overburden yourself at all (mind games)? mind games,? Do you know how many cases of Alzheimer's and dementia exist in the world? Did you know that our master Omar Ibn Al-Hattab used to say (Oh God, take care of my mind until I die) Do you know that Imam al-Shafi’i said (“The more I learn from time, the more I see my mental deficiency, and the more I learn, the more I learn about my ignorance) What does this have to do with playing games that entertain the mind, no, they are not games for entertainment, but games that improve the performance of the mind, why? In order to preserve one of the blessings of God that God has blessed you with and took away from others, either by inheritance or disease or otherwise - may God bless you and grant us health.
Allah says
﴿ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ﴾ [فاطر:28]
“Only among His servants are the scholars who fear God.” (Fatir: 28)
That is, the one who fears God for the truth, not metaphor: the scholars, not only religious scholars, but any scholar in any field, and he is the one who appreciates God - the Most High - rightly, and Allah says also: ( And say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” [Taha: 114]) All that matters to us to understand is that preserving the mind is one of the five major goals of Islam in it... So our preservation of it is not out of diligence, but out of obligation, and God knows best.
Fourth objective: The preserving the offspring
It is intended to preserve the human race on earth through procreation, because Islam seeks to continue the human march on earth; Until God authorizes the annihilation of the world and inherits the earth and those on it. In order to achieve this goal, Islam legislated the following principles and legislation:
1 - The Marriage Law
Islam legislated marriage and desired it, considering it the innate and clean path in which a man meets a woman, not for purely instinctive motives, but in addition to those motives, they meet in order to achieve a noble goal of preserving the human race, and seeking the righteous offspring that populate the world and build human life and take over the burdens of the caliphate on earth to hand it over to his successors so that human giving continues, and human civilization flourishes in the light of noble principles and virtuous values.
2 - Taking care of the upbringing of young people and deepening the bonds of intimacy
obligating parents to take care of their children and spend on them; So that children can dispense with parental alimony.
3- The relationship between male and female should be encompassed by a set of moral principles and etiquette
Which guarantees the achievement of the lofty goals of this relationship, and excludes the chaotic practices of relations between the sexes, where Islam blocks the way for the means of stimulating the human soul, by obligating the veil with special specifications, the legislation fights the causes of sedition. And in cases other than extreme necessity, it is forbidden for a man to be alone with a foreign woman, even if she is bound by the veil, except in the presence of one of her mahrams, and homes in Islam have great sanctity, as it is not permissible to enter them without permission.
Allah says
﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَبُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ﴾ [النور: 27].
“O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your houses Until they feel at ease and greet their family (An-Nur: 27).
4 - Prohibition of transgression against the honor
Therefore, God forbade adultery as well as slander, and specified a deterrent punishment for each of them.
Allah says
﴿ الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ ﴾ [النور: 2
The adulteress and the adulterer, flog each one of them with a hundred stripes, and no mercy will take you for them In the religion of God (An-Nur: 2 .)
Allah says
وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا ﴾النور: 4]
And those who accuse chaste married women and then do not produce four martyrs, So flog them with eighty stripes and never accept their testimony (An-Nur: 4)
Fifth goal: save the money
Islam considered money a necessity of human life. He legislated legislation and directives that encourage its acquisition and collection, and ensure its maintenance, preservation and development, as follows:
Ways to save money by finding and collecting
1 - Encouragement to seek livelihood
Allah says
﴿ هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ ﴾ [الملك: 15]
“It is He who has made the earth subservient to you, so walk in its paths and eat of His sustenance.” [Al-Mulk: 15]
Zulul: the paved road, easy to cross, and the land as wide as it is from east or west, most of them are paved roads for communication between distant and near places, and God Almighty wants us to walk from the east to the west in the journey of searching for livelihood, and the paths are the bones between the shoulders and the west and that is the nickname, as the scholars yearn, striving for a livelihood is a type of saving money, and it is the last of the purposes of money, and how is this? Striving for halal livelihood and staying away from haram money, for whomever he wills, and the verse encourages travel and travel, if a country closes in on you for its sustenance, then God’s countries are many - if you can.
Allah says
وقال تعالى: ﴿ فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ﴾
And the Almighty said: “And when the prayer has been completed, disperse in the land and seek God’s grace.”
Diffusion: dispersal and scattering
Islam is the religion of order in the prayer queues, in eating at a specific time, all the illiterate in Radan and elsewhere, why does God - the Most High - want us to walk randomly after Friday prayer specifically? Perhaps because the sellers are mostly waiting for the presence of worshipers on the street, and it is a holiday, so perhaps their trade has stagnated, as for the spread of Muslims in every district, my money was freed for the sellers, and God knows best.
2 - Raising the status of work and higher than the destinies of workers
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “No one has ever eaten better food than the work of his hand, and the Prophet of God, David, used to eat from the work of his own hands.
Allah says
( وماتكون في شأن وما تتلو منه من قرآن ولا تعملون من عمل إلا كنا عليكم شهودا إذ تفيضون فيه)
(And what you are in a matter and what you recite from the Qur’an, and you do not do any work except that we are witnesses to you when you overflow in it.
This means that the moment of commencing work - any work - even if the woman's work is in her home - we have witnesses from the angels (the moment of entering into it: and this, Hence, no one eats food better than the good of his hand. The wife who cooks food for her family members, and the worker, the farmer, the wage-earner, and the owner of investment companies enters it, It is work and toil until obtaining halal money without any suspicion that it is forbidden.
He says, may God bless him and grant him peace
(Give the worker his due before his sweat dries up)
The worker in domestic or commercial affairs, such as the cleaning-worker - or the assistant to the wife, must give her wages before her sweat dries up from the housework, as well as the boy who works in a carpentry workshop, blacksmithing, home delivery worker, or any other form of halal work, who works Even up to sweat and fatigue.
He says, may God bless him and grant him peace
(Three I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection: a man who gave to me and then betrayed, a man who sold a free man and ate his price, and a man who rented hired and did not pay him his due) we all love the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - and we all wish to see him in a dream even once, and we all wish to be close to him on the Day of Resurrection, Imagine that your opponent is: the disputant of the disputed right, that is, he disputes with you instead of fleeing from you or greeting you after all this time you have spent in this world believing in him and you did not see him once.
The first: A man was given something in the name of the Messenger: then he betrayed
The gift is gifted, and there is no gift that can be turned back. The evidence is: the saying of the Messenger of God (the one who returns in his gift is like the one who returns in his vomit) and in this there is what is in it of despicable, who is the one who vomits and drinks what he vomited again, and here he not only returned in his gift but also betrayed any kind of treachery.
The second: A man sold a free man and ate his money
The scholars say: God, the Mighty and Sublime, has singled out food. This is because it is the greatest purpose, and God has made the sin of that severe. Because Muslims are equal in freedom, it is not permissible for a Muslim to sell freely, because whoever sells a free person is prohibited from disposing of what is freely, God permitted him, and obliged him to humiliate him, which God saved him from, and enslavement of the free is in two ways: to believe in it, then deny it or conceal it, and the second matter is that he uses it involuntarily after emancipation, and scholars have unanimously agreed to prevent the sale of free.
And the meaning of this
You are free, so thank God, there are slaves today in the whole world who are sold, bought and called by other names, but they are slaves in the time of the free, we are at the end of the twenty-first century. Humanity is monstrosities of all humanity, there are also those who trade in them and this is what he talks about The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “If you are one of them, fear God, and if you are free and rich, then congratulations to you. freed one of them from manumission and slavery if you able to do that.
3- Prohibition of acquiring money by illegal means that harm others
Allah says:
﴿ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ﴾ [البقرة: 275]
The Almighty said: “And God has permitted trade and forbidden usury.” [Al-Baqarah: 275]
Allah says
﴿ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ ﴾[البقرة: 188
“And do not devour your wealth among yourselves unjustly.” [Al-Baqarah: 188]
Partnerships and money that revolves between partners, or money that revolves between brothers, or money that revolves in trade between the seller and the buyer, or other different forms of money circulatio, forbidden not to eat: Why do most of God’s talk about money come in the form of “eating” like eating the money of an orphan? The truth is, we don't know exactly, but it seems that most of the money goes to eating and drinking, all that a person elevates in his social status is craving for more luxurious types of food, the idea that you eat and be satisfied from the suspicion of eating the money of a partner in business or the one with whom you trade, or you buy a commodity from the Internet and come in other than the specifications that you set from the ground up. All this and other types of eating people’s money unjustly.
It is also forbidden to attack the property of others by theft, robbery or fraud.
Alla says
﴿ وَالسَّارِقُ وَالسَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمَا ﴾[المائدة: 38
And the male and female thief, cut off their hands.” [Al-Ma’idah: 38]
Praise be to God for the absence of punishments in many Islamic countries, otherwise the hands of many may be cut off. Why, O Lord, cut off the hand of the thief - may God grant us his grace - for a quarter of a dinar, what is this? This is unfair, we understand to cut off the hand of a thief In a cow or a lot of money or something is not it? As for a quarter of a dinar, this is unfair, no no It is not a matter of fear, it is a matter of principle (save money) This is a big goal of the five colleges in Islam, not just one of the pillars of the religion, and if the pillars of religion are great, and you are an expert that there is something called cyptlomania, or obsession with theft: you find flimsy excuses such as I need these things or they do not need them like me or they have a lot or this is a non-Muslim, so it is permissible to eat his money or embezzle it or otherwise as an attempt to convince himself that Theft is permissible.
4- Prohibition of spending money in illegal purposes
He urged spending it in ways of good, based on one of the most important rules of the Islamic economic system: that money is God's money, and that the individual is a successor in it, and an agent in it.
Allah says
﴿ وَأَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا جَعَلَكُمْ مُسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيهِ ﴾[الحديد: 7)
“And spend of that which He has made you to be entrusted with” (Al-Hadid: 7)
And Allah says
وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ ﴾ [النور: 33]
And give them from the wealth of God that has given you (An-Nur: 33).
Hence, the owner of the money had to dispose of his money within the limits of what the Shari’a prescribed for him, so it is not permissible for him to be tempted by money and be overwhelmed by it; Because that is a factor of corruption and destruction,
Allah says
قال تعالى: ﴿ وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْنُهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا القَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا ﴾ [الإسراء: 16]
The Almighty said: )And when We want to destroy a town, We order the people of luxury in it, So they committed immorality in it, and the word was true of it, so We destroyed it completely (Al-Isra: 16).
5 - It is not permissible for him to squander without importance
Allah says
﴿ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا * إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُواإِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ﴾ [الإسراء: 26، 27].
And do not waste wastefully * Indeed, the wasters were brothers of the devils (Al-Isra: 26, 27).
5- Enacting legislation to protect the funds of minors and those who do not manage their money well, such as orphans and juniors; Until they reach adulthood.
