February 25, 2017 99 Names of Allah - Lesson 03
Shaykh Hasan Ali gives a comprehensive lecture on the Names of Allah - Ar Rahman and Ar Raheem. They are from the same root or etymology - Rahma. The Mercy of Allah covers everyone and everything whether its a Mu'min or a Kafir and every creation. He has a Greatness to His Mercy which is awe inspiring and there is no end to His Mercy
Ar Rahman is that Name of Allah which is directed for His entire creation - believers and non believers whereas Ar Raheem is that Name of Allah that is specifically meant for those Mu'mins or believers on which Allah has His Rahma. For example, in Surah Al Ahzab ,verse 43, Allah says,
It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.
Imam Al Qurtubi gives numerous examples from the Qur'an where these names have been used:
Surah Al Fatihah - [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Surah An Naml, ayat 30 - Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: 'In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Surah Al Baqarah, ayat 163 - And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Surah Ar Rahman, ayat 1 - The Most Merciful
Surah At Taubah, ayat 117 - Allah has already forgiven the Prophet and the Muhajireen and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of difficulty after the hearts of a party of them had almost inclined [to doubt], and then He forgave them. Indeed, He was to them Kind and Merciful.
The name Ar Rahman can only be used for Allah and it cannot be used for any other human beings. Ar Rahman denotes the Mercy of Allah for everyone like rain, our existence, food, water etc . Ar Raheem denotes the Mercy of Allah specifically for Muslims such as His Hidayah for us to be Muslims with Iman. Imam Al Qurtubi says that Allah has given us the possibility to call ourselves Ar Rahim if such a person possesses merciful traits.
Effects of the Mercy of Allah as illustrated in the Qur'an :
Surah Al Qasas, ayat 73 - And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.
Surah Al Ankabut, ayat 21 - He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned.
Surah Al Anbiya, ayat 107- And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.
Imam Al Qurtubi also mentions that Allah has told us to never lose hope of the Mercy of Allah and also to not lose fear of Allah in Surah Az Zumar, ayat 53:
"Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
Also, in Surah Al Hijr, ayah 56 - He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
Also, in Surah Al Ankabut, ayat 23 - And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with Him - "Those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment".

February 25, 2017 99 Names of Allah - Lesson 02
Shaykh Hasan Ali divulges details on the Names of Allah beginning with the foremost name, the most widely used name, the first name to be used in the Noble Qur'an - ALLAH.
The Prophet ﷺ first asked of the Muslim Ummah to spread the Name of Allah by saying - Laa Ilaaha Illallaah and the Shahadah in which the last two phrases of the Shahadah end with Allah.
There are many different ways in which Allah has described Himself in the Noble Qur'an. He wants us to praise Him as He is worthy of praise. Allah gives out the greatest things to us.
We are also made to understand that two things are absolutely essential and at the core of trying to strengthen our belief - belief in Allah SWT and belief in the Last Day. No aqeedah is complete of a Mu'min without believing in Allah and applying that steadfast belief in one’s daily lives.
Imam Al Qurtubi goes on to share in the book being used by Shaykh Hasan Ali that the ultimate waswasa or deviation of Shaytan is to make us question the existence of Allah SWT. Shaytan makes us ponder - if nothing was present before Allah, then who created Allah? These sort of questions causes us to go astray and deviate from the path of Islam. It should be sufficient for us to believe that Allah was always in existence and we being a Mu'min should firmly believe so to avoid spoiling our aqeedah.
Some of the aspects of Allah that we should refrain from pondering upon are as follows:
How Allah looks like. This is something that we will never know unless we are blessed on the Day of Judgement or if we are among the dwellers of Jannah.
Limiting Allah to a specific dimension - if someone does so, he has indeed committed Kufr. For example, if we think that Allah sits on a throne, then we have limited Allah to specific dimensions which is impossible.
Assuming Allah to be the light itself - Allah is the Provider of Light of the Heavens and the Earth and so it is wrong to say that Allah is the Light Himself.
We can stay away from these deviations by following what the Noble Prophet ﷺ ordained us to do which is to think about the Attributes of Allah and the creations of Allah rather than thinking of Allah Himself as this is something which is not comprehensible from our intellect. If we continue to do so, then it will eventually make us go into a tangent of waswasa and an ultimate on at that by Shaytan.
Allah is Infinite and He does not have a past, present or future. Rather, it is He who has created all of these time frames.
