Twenty Sixth Days of Ramadan

26 Ramadan, 1434


Narrated by Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
We were in the company of Allah's Apostle:
Whenever we went up a high place we used to say:

"NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT 
ALLAH, AND ALLAH IS GREATER,"   

And our voices used to rise, so the Prophet (SAW) said:

"O PEOPLE! BE MERCIFUL TO YOURSELVES"

(i.e don't raise your voice), for you are not calling a deaf
or an absent one, but One Who is with you, no doubt

"He is All-Hearer, ever Near (to all things)."
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]



This is the Ayah al Kursi, the "Verse of the Throne."
The attributes of Allah are different from anything we know
In our present world: He lives, but His Life is Self-Subsisting
And Eternal: It does not depend upon beings and is not
Limited to time and space.

"Allaahu laaa ilaaha 'illaa Huu. 'Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum.
Laa ta'-khuzuhuu sina-tunw-wa laa nawm. Lahuu maa
Fissamaawaati wa maa fil-'arz. Man-zallazii yashfa-'u
Indahuuu 'illaa bi-iznih? Ya'-lamu maa bayna 'aydiihim 
Wa ma khalfahum. Walaayu-hiituunabi-shay-'immin
'Il-mihii 'illaa bimaa shaaa'. Wa-si-'a Kursiyyu-hus
Samaawaa-ti wal-'arz; wa laa ya-'uudu'huu hifzu-humaa 
Wa huwal-'Aliyyul-'Aziin.
[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255]

Verily, your God is One!
Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all between them,
And Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
 [Surah Al-Saffat, 37:4-5]
