Qabd - Manazil As-Saireen ( Dr. Hatem Al-Haj's Translation ) Allah, the Almighty, said: {Thereafter We grasped it to Us, an easy (or gradual) grasping.} [al-Furqân 25:46] 725 قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: "ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا" Constriction in this chapter refers to the station of the precious ones 726 whom the Real has spared for Himself. 727 They are of three groups: الْقَبْضُ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ اسْمٌ يُشَارُ بِهِ إِلَى مَقَامِ الضَّنَائِنِ الَّذِينَ ادَّخَرَهُمُ الْحَقُّ اصْطِنَاعًا لِنَفْسِهِ. وَهُمْ ثَلَاثُ فِرَقٍ: A group that He protectively constricted towards Himself, sparing them from the eyes of the people. 728 فِرْقَةٌ قَبْضُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ؛ قَبْضُ التَّوَقِّي، فَضَنَّ بِهِمْ عَنْ أَعْيُنِ الْعَالَمِينَ. A group that He constricted towards Himself by covering them with the garment of disguise729 and draping them with forms,730 so He concealed them from the eyes of the people. 731 وَفِرْقَةٌ قَبَضَهُمْ بِسِتْرِهِمْ فِي لِبَاسِ التَّلْبِيسِ، و...

From the infancy Gospel of Thomas ( Source ) 3 And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds, and hath polluted the Sabbath day. 4 And Joseph came to the place and saw: and cried out to him, saying: Wherefore doest thou these things on the Sabbath, which it is not lawful to do? But Jesus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. 5 And when the Jews saw it they were amazed, and departed and told their chief men that which they had seen Jesus do. The Second Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ This is also known as The Infancy Gospel of Thomas – probably a fragment of the Gospel of Thomas, and was written around 140 CE.[2] 1. “I, Thomas, an Israelite, judged it necessary to make known to our brethren among the Gentiles, the act...

Uzair as Son of God - Notes on the Rabbinical Identity of Uzair Who was Uzair عُزَيْر of Surah At-Tawba 9:30? Though Uzair is absent in the hadith, tafsir concludes that this Uzair was the Israelite prophet Ezra. But what does the cultural landscape of Late Antique Arabia have to say about a 'son of God' named Uzair? Let's have a look. One problem in equating Uzair with Ezra (by interpreting the name as a diminutive and derogative form of ‘Azr) is that no Jewish literature or tradition exists that attests to Ezra’s divination. Arye Olman's paper, “Uzair As a Son of Allah,” has a convincing suggestion for the identity of Uzair. This theory is based on existing Rabbinic tradition. Olman suggests that Uzair is rather a distorted form of the name Uza. Uza should not be confused with the goddess al-Uzza (Q 53:19-20) well known to Arabs as a female deity; she could not have been "the son of God” even though she is named the “daughter of Allah” in “satanic ayahs." He...

One day, Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī asked his teacher Abū ʿAlī al-Jubbāʾī, “What do you say regarding three brothers, one of whom died obedient, another disobedient, and the third who died young?”  Al-Jubbāʾī replied, “The first will be rewarded in Paradise, the second will be punished in Hell, and the third will not be punished.”  Al-Ashʿarī further enquired, “What if the third, the one who died young asked God why he made him die young, not keeping him alive so that he might have the chance to obey and thus enter Paradise. How would God respond?”  Al-Jubbāʾī replied, “God would say that He knew the boy would grow up to disobey Me and thereby enter Hell, so I did what was better for him.”  This reply was based on the rule of the Muʿtazila that God must do what is of benefit to the individual.  In response to this, al-Ashʿarī said, “What if the second brother said, ‘Why did you not make me die young, so as to have avoided disobeying you and consequently going to He...

It was narrated that Muslim bin Yasar and 'Abdullah bin 'Atik said: "Ubadah bin As-Samit and Muawiyah met at a stopping place on the road. 'Ubadah told them: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade selling gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates"'- one of them said: 'salt for salt,"' but the other did not say it-"unless it was like for like, hand to hand. And he commanded us to sell gold for silver and silver for gold, and wheat for barley and barley for wheat, and to hand, however we wanted."' And one of them said: "Whoever gives more or asks for more has engaged in Riba."' أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، قَالاَ جَمَعَ الْمَنْزِلُ بَيْنَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَهُم...
