Why did Allāh create evil?

1. To express the perfection of his power, for perfect and complete power expressed all types of things, the moral, the immoral, good, bad, benefit and harm. If it was restricted to only a [few] types in opposition to other types, then it is deficient. Therefore, in the creation of different types, there is an expression of His complete and perfect power, and also the subjugation of His will.

2. To express independence from His creation and He exalts any need in sense of their worship and obedience.

What is worship ('Ibādah) according to Imām Abū Hanīfah?

He was asked: "Tell me about worship, what is it?"

He replied: "the term worship combines obedience with desire, fearfulness and affirmation of Lordship.

This is due to the fact that when the slave obeys Allāh in faith, then hope and fear from Allāh enters his heart, so when these three qualities enter his heart, then indeed he has worshipped him.

(Note how he includes Rububiyyah in worship)

Massive L for this Qadiyani clown, completely misses out the Istidlal before which mentions the Hadith that "Allah did not make Shifā in that which has been made Haram for you"...contrasting with khamr becoming Halal for the thirsty one in a necessary state, likewise when one is in absolute need and has certainty that the act mentioned by Ibn 'Ābidīn will bring Shifā, then it absolutely necessity it will be permissible. But ofc, this Kafir doesn't want to mention istidlal and context because he is half brained and also doesn't know basic Fiqh.

This does not really matter, their point in this is to keep laymen away from falling into speculative matters.

Anyways here are the views of pioneers of the Deobandi school

Shaykh Tayyib who was the head of Kalam in Darul Uloom Deoband writes that the creator and the creation cannot be together in one state, nor can he be limited and unlimited in one stated due to the meeting of two opposites, and that is all impossible.

He also states, Allah isn't encompassed by the six directions, rather he encompasses them and limits them. He also mentions Allah

The first point has a very simple answer, that is because those who they debated, including their followers were known for ascribing encompassment to Allah.

Al-Iskāfī (d.220 AH), Ja'far bin Mubashar (d. 234 AH), 'Ulāf (d. 235 AH), Ja'far bin Harb (236 AH) and al-Jubbā'i (303 AH) who are who the majority of Mu'tazilah are following – they all state Allah is in every place. Hence, the scholars would not only adhere to freeing Allah from direction itself, but rather also transcending Him from any type of encompassment and mixing with creation.

1. This does not even change anything about Abū Hanīfah seeing it as shirk or not as dislike is a Fiqhi matter

2. An-Nātifī [d. 446], who proceeds Ibn Abil-'Izz, explains the statement of seeking closeness by the 'Arsh is because it implies Allah is settled upon the 'Arsh. 3. The statement 'it should be forbidden' is Ibn Abil-'Izz, not Imāmuna nor Sahibayn. Furthermore, there is a difference between something being disliked and something being forbidden.

Dislike = Makruh Tahrimi
Forbidden = Haram

A speech is not a sensory matter, it is believed that it gives off different types of benefits - 1. Command 2. Prohibitions 3. Truthful/Untruthful Reports and so on. This all can then fall into different types of modality such as a sound, letter, body language and similar. On the contrary we have a whole accidental body, that is restricted, sensory, it is not a meaningful quality unlike speech, all these are restrictions and limits. Therefore, they are created.

The speech of Allah which is limitless, without modality is therefore contrary

An example of Imām Abū Hanīfah avoiding going by the literal understanding of Ahādīth:

"Muhammad bin Fadhl 'Atiyyah came to Abū Hanīfah while he had a book with him. The first Hadīth in it is 'The son of adultery is the worst of the three' so Abū Hanīfah asked him about it's Image meaning. Muhammad replied: 'It is as it is in the Hadīth (meaning literal/apparent). So Abū Hanīfah said: 'We belong to Allāh, you have attributed to the prophet ﷺ which is not permissble and correct, and in this explanation is a contradiction between

Ihsans Usūl al-Fiqh be like:

If there is a Hadith in Sahīh al-Bukhari, then I give precedence to it over the Hadīth and action narrated by masses of students of the companions who were literal jurists and father's in Fiqh.

🤡 Raf' al-Yadayn only being done in the beginning is a discussion amongst Fuqahā, but to give the reason Ehsan gave is just hilarious and absolutely displays his ignorance in Usūl al-Fiqh.

Many students of Imam 'Ali bin Abi Talib, Ibn Mas'ud from Kufa would not raise their hands.

Some statements on the beatific vision of Allah in the hereafter by scholars from the Hanafi Madhab

🧵 Abū Hanīfah said in a letter to some people:

"...the looking towards Allah does not resemble observation of the creation to [another] creation." (I.e. without direction, as the creations look from one to another by directions and facing)

Imām Abū Hafs as-Saghīr al-Hanafī (246 AH) writes:

If someone says to you "did Allāh say the speech?"

Say: "Yes"
If he says when? Say: "without when"
If he says how? Say: "without how"
If he says where? Say: "without where?"
If he says how much? Say: "without how much" If he says loud or silent? Say: "without loud or silent"
If he says, with sound or without sound? Say: "Without any sounds or letters"

If he says, "The written and letters are created, because if I want I can write long (the letters) and if I want to I can write short."

Imām Abū Hanīfah - The Imām of 'Ilm al-Kalām

🧵 Image It is a well-known fact that Imām Abū Hanīfah was grounded in 'Ilm al-Kalām at a young age, and he learned this theology before learning Fiqh (Jurisprudence).

Yet, constantly people on online platforms like pushing for the opposite by misusing and misapplying statements

Imam Abu Hanifah said:

"Iman is acknowledgment, confirmation [in the heart], confession by the tongue, and submission.

The people are of three levels when it comes to confirmation [of the heart]: 1. The one who confirms with his heart and tongue, Allah, and that what has come from him.

2. The one who confirms with his tongue by lies with his heart.

3. The one who confirms with his heart but lies with his tongue.

Hanafi Atharis and their contradiction with Imams of the Madhab

🧵 ﷽

We see today that many people claim to be Hanafi in Fiqh and Athari (i.e. Salafi) in Aqidah. This is one of the most disastrous identification a Hanafi can make about himself.

This would necessitate contradiction with the early Hanafi scholars..

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Al-Labbān Ash-Shāfi'ī about Allah freeing himself from direction and place

Short 🧵 His words summarised:

If you want to establish that Allah has an aboveness, not of place but a real aboveness of subjugation and lordhood upon his servants; then ponder over [the saying of the Rasūl ﷺ] "Allah was and nothing was with him" (Bukhari 3191)

'Uthman bin Sa'id ad-Darimi

🧵 A scholar of the Salaf?

Many claim that this Muhaddith is an Imam of the Salaf, by that we ask - how so? Are they going by the definition that Salaf is defined as the first 300 years?

If so, then one must also accept that the following two scholars are from the Salaf:
