What does the statement ' there is no ability or power except through Allah' tell you about the Muslims belief in pre destination???
To what extent does this belief affect the daily living of muslims???
Answer please!!!!

Answer: the statement ' there is no ability or power except through Allah' explains the Belief in Predestination and Decree (Al-Qadha & Al-Qadar) forms an ingredient of Islamic faith. Belief in Predestination and Decree is mentioned in the Holy Quran in the Iman-e-Mufassal which says ‘’I believe in Allah, in His angels, in His books, in His prophets, in the Last Day and in the fact that everything, good or bad, is decided by Allah Almighty and in the life after death.’’
This means that everything, good or bad, is decided by Allah, is an article of faith and without this our faith is not complete. Faith in predestination means that we believe in our heart and confess with our tongue that the Most High Allah has decreed all things; whatever happens in the world whether it is concerning the conditions and operations of things, good and evil, obedience and disobedience, faith and infidelity (unfaithful), sickness and health, wealth and poverty, life and death is contained in the written tablet of the decrees of Allah which is called the Loh-e-Mahfooz.
The belief in Divine predestination includes belief in 4 things:
1. Allah is the creator of everything.
2. Allah knows everything; what has, is and will happen.
3. Allah has recorded all that has passed, all that is happening and all that will happen.
4. Whatever Allah wills, happens and whatever He wills not, does not happen.

According to the Muslim Faith, Allah is the sole Creator and Cherisher (care for something or someone) of the universe. His power is not limited in any sphere. The Qur’an says: ‘’ verily Allah has power over everything.” Therefore it will not be wrong to say that God not only has knowledge of each and every affair of the entire universe but also all the matters and occurrences are under His control. We ourselves can see the Divine Will in many objects and phenomena around us. The Qur’an invites us to appreciate by saying: ‘’It is not permitted to the sun to catch up to the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; each just swims along in its own orbit (according to the Divine Will)’’ (36:40). These are demonstrations of Allah’s unlimited power and command.
Similarly, man, the most supreme creation of Allah is no exception to this Divine Will. Humans have been granted liberty and free will, but at the same time they are subservient (submissive) to the laws of nature. We should know that that our Creator has knowledge of everything and has command over us and so it should be our duty to submit to His Will. The Qur’an reminds us by saying: ‘’We indeed created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him; for We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.’’ (50:16). This simply means that Allah knows even the innermost desires and motives of man better than man himself so it becomes clear that in spite of enjoying free will, our destinies and decisions are under the ultimate Divine predestination. Allah has predestined the span of every person’s life, their share of good and ill fortune and the fruits of their efforts in accordance with His eternal knowledge. This is to say that He has ordained (designed) the things as they were to take place in this world and in the life to come. This however does not imply that whatever we do is predestined to be done by us and we have no freedom of action. For example, if Allah has predestined an evil thing to a Peron, it was so because the person had chosen to commit that evil thing when he had a choice of not doing it. If he were to do a pious deed, All-Knowing Allah would have predestined that pious deed to have been done by that person. No one is forced to do a certain thing because of its predestination. Allah has given every human the ability to do good or bad in life. People decide what to do, but Allah has knowledge of our deeds even before we were created. He knew what we could and would do but does not make us do it.
While Allah has given free choice to people, man has also been shown the correct way by means of revelation through His prophets. Man has the final choice to accept or decline this Divine guidance. His choice rests on his will as the Qur’an says: ‘’ Surely, We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)’’ (76:3).

B) Question: Why the belief in the Pre-Destination and Decree of Allah (SWT) is important for Muslims in daily life? [4]
Answer: This important belief develops the dependence on Allah (SWT) when doing any action, because both the cause and the effects are the result of Allah’s (SWT) Decree, this produces ease of mind and comfort, because when the individual knows that everything is by Allah’s (SWT) Decree and that mishaps are going to take place anyway, his soul will be at ease and his heart will be satisfied with the Allah’s Decree. No one has a more comfort able life, worry-free soul, and stronger confidence then a believer. The most important things is that believe in the Qadha and Qadr produce a sense of freedom from worry and Bowdon in case of failure or mishaps, because that is by Allah’s Decree, the one who possess the Heaven and the Earth: “We indeed created men and we know dark suggestion his soul makes to him: for we are nearer to Him then his juggler vain” (50:16)

Question: Name the six collections of Sunni Hadis books and four Shia compilations of Hadis ? Discuss their main features?
Answer: There are six major collections of Sunni Hadis books also called Sahih Al-Sitta.
Sahih Al-Bukhari (194-256 A.H): It was compiled by Imam Muhammad Bin Ismail Al-Bukhari. It is considered to be the most authentic book of Hadis after the Holy Quran. In the compilation of this book of Sahih Al-Bukhari, Imam Bukhari displayed a great critical ability and scrupulous accuracy. The total number of Ahadis in this book is 9082 (which was selected from 600000 Ahadis). However many of them were repeated with different Isnad. Without repetition the number goes down to 2602 Ahadis. His criteria for acceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of Ahadith.
Sahih Muslim (204-264 A.H): It was compiled by Imam Muslim bin Hajjah and this is considered second only to the Sahih al-Bukhari. These two collections Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are collectively called Al-Sahihain, the two most authentic collections. Any tradition accepted by both Bukhari and Muslim has been termed as Agreed Upon. Imam Muslim, he traveled widely to gather his collection of Ahadith (plural of Hadith), including to Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula, Syria and Egypt. Out of 300,000 Hadith which he evaluated, approximately 4,000 were extracted for inclusion into his collection based on stringent acceptance criteria.
Sunan Abu Daud (202-275 A.H): Abu Da’ud was another important compiler of hadith. Before writing his Sunan he examined five lakhs of traditions, and selected from them only 4800 to be put in his book. The whole task took him 20 years to complete. He kept up the scrupulous exactitude of his predecessors in reproducing the traditions, which he had collected. But he differed from them in the standard of his choice. He included in his Sunan not only the ‘genuine’ traditions (as al-Bukhari and Muslim had done), but also such traditions as had been pronounced by some traditionists to be weak and doubtful.
Jame/ Sunan Tirmizi (209-279 A.H): It was compiled by Abu Isa al-Tirmizi. He was the first man to determine the names, surnames, and title of the narrators of traditions and tide to fix the degree of their reliability by inventing peculiar means of each tradition. His work is divided into 50 chapters (Kutub) and contains 3956 Ahadis.Abu Isa al Tirmizi was a student of Abu Da’ud and his collection follows and improves upon the techniques of classifying the hadith as proposed by his master. Jame of Tirmizi contains all the traditions – legal, dogmatic and historical – that had been accepted by the Muslim jurists of one school or another, as the basis of Islamic law.
Sunan Ibne Majah (209-273 A.H): Ibn Majah travelled widely to collect traditions from the well-known Traditionists of his time. He compiled several works of Hadith of which the most important is the Sunan. In this work, Ibn Majah collected together 4000 traditions in 32 books divided into 1500 chapters. The number of weak (dhaif) traditions it contains is not very large, just about 30. But it does contain some traditions, which are considered by the authorities on the subject to be forged (maudu’).
Sunan Nasai (214-303 A.H): Al Nasai’ collected hadith in his work Sunan He entirely ignored the point of view of his senior contemporary, al-Tirmizi on the question of the application of traditions to various problems that might have been made by different schools of the Muslim juriprudence. His main object was to establish the text of traditions and the differences between their various versions, which he quotes extensively. In many places, he gives headings to the differences between the various narrators. This book contains 5662 Ahadis and is divided well into chapters. Imam Nasai is the best evaluator of the narrators of his time.
1. Kitab Al-Kafi: Compiled by Muhammad Yaqub Kulayni in the third century Hijra, it is divided into three sections:
• Usulal-Kafi which is concerned with the principle of religion.
• Furual-Kafi which is concerned with religious laws.
• Rawadatal-Kafi which is concerned with the various religious aspects and includes some writings of the Imams in total.
Al-Kafi comprises of about 16000 narrations. The author states that this book would be sufficient for all the needs of the believers as it included all branched of religious knowledge. 2. Manla Yahduruhula-
2. Faqih: Compiled by Muhammad ibne Ali al-Qummi in the 4th century Hijri contains over 9000 Hadis. The literal translation of the title Manla Yah duruhu Al-Faqih is “For him not in the presence of Jurisprudence”. The book is meant to be a reference book to help ordinary Shia Muslims in the practice of the legal requirements of Islam. In this book Isnads are absent
3. Tahdhibal-Ahkamfi Sharhal-Muqni’a: Compiled by Sheikh Tusi in the 5th century Hijri contain over 13000 narrations means “The Refinement of the laws in terms of explanation of the sufficiently”. It contains not only traditions but also lengthy discussions about the legal standing and implications of each Hadis. The chapters are well divided and contain the commentaries by some earlier scholars.
4. Istibsarfima’ Khatalafal-Akhbar: Compiled by Sheikh Tusi in the 5th century Hijri and contains over 5000 narrations. Its methods are similar but briefer: there are not so many traditions used in the work and the explanations are more concise. It is similar to Man la Yahdurulual Faqih, but gives full Isnads for the traditions quoted intended to be used as ready reference works for students and scholars

Ijma is third source of islamic law. It is consenses of opinions of islamic jurist about new issues that are not been mention neither in Quran or in Hadis. Some off the examples of Ijma are Moon sighting Calling for prayer(inntroduction of 2nd Azan for Juma prayer) Collection of Quran etc.. Reference fo ijma is "consult them in affairs"
Qiyas is self opinnion of islamic scholarly person who have complete knowledge of islamic fiqh hais nd Quran. Qiyas is allowed when other islamic sources are siilent on new issues. It contain 4 proscreption to be followed nd be done to solve issue, They are:

[SiriusA]

Sir Irfan, just read this thread and you and this thread is amazing

Had a question to ask, that the Shia collections of Ahadith, as well as the Imams.
How likely are they to come in the examinations ? I mean I am a Sunni, and there's likely to be contradictions in the Shia Collections of Ahadith as well as the Imamate, so how do you advise us to study them ?
