Qada and Qadr

Asalaamu alaykum,

Here is the slide show and worksheet for Qada and Qadr

The most important part of understanding this topic is the remember that Allah has no limits, while creation has limitations.  Allah is above his creation, which means he has no limits – His creation is limited by various boundaries.

Second, nothing happens except that there is a reason behind it for occurring.  The Prophet (saw) said, “Amazing is the position of the believer in that when something good happens he/she says Alhumdullillah and when something doesn’t go his/her way he/she is still content in what Allah has decreed” (Sahih Muslim) – why?  Because the believer knows that Allah is always looking out him/her… making sure they follow the path of goodness towards Jannah and so while we think something is good for me, Allah knows it is not and so He prevents harm form coming to me…Allah is the Best of Planners and, because He created us, He knows us better than we know ourselves.  A mechanic knows everything about the car he makes, even when it needs service and what type of service it needs at different measures of kilometersf and even knows approximately how long the engine will last.  In the same way, we belong to Allah and He knows us best, because He created us.

If further discussion is required, don’t hesitate to email me.

The Role of Women in Islam

April 8, 2010 at 8:56 PM · Filed under Aqeedah - The "What Do Muslims Believe" Section, Teacher Tools: PowerPoint SlideShows & Question Sheets

This is a workshop given at the Al-Fajr Institute in Mississauga, via the YM class run by ICNA.

There is a powerpoint (some slides have presenters notes), a worksheet and two sets of scenarios for female and male participants to work through.

You’ll have to come up with your own ‘speech’ to go along with the slide show, as I didn’t record my presentation on audio.

Barak Allahu Fikum.
