Arsy is a creature of Allah

Quite a lot of theorem that explains that ‘Arsy is a creature of Allah. We bring some arguments from the Qur’an, Sunnah, and Ijma ‘ulama

The proof of the Qur’an
God is the great ‘Arsy’ Rabb (creator). Allah says,

قل من رب السماوات السبع ورب العرش العظيم

“Say,” Who is the Lord of the seven Heavens and the Four “Great Throne?” (Al-Mu’minun: 86).

Allah says,

فتعالى الله الملك الحق لآإله إلاهو رب العرش الكريم

“So the Most High God, the Real King, there is no god except He, the Rabb (the One) ‘The glorious throne” (Al-Mu’minun / 23: 116).

Shaykh al-Islam explains the purpose of Rabb ‘Arsy is the one who created, he said,

وهو العرش وغيره, ورب كل شيء: العرش وغيره

“God is the Rabb of all things including ‘Arsy and the others. God the Creator of all things including ‘Arsy and others. “[1]

So also the word of God,

ذالكم الله ربكم لآإله إلا هو خالق كل شىء فاعبدوه وهو على كل شىء وكيل

“(That which has such qualities) is Allah your Lord; there is no deity (other than Him); Creator of all things, then worship Him; and He is the keeper of all things “(Al-An’am: 102).

The rule is anything other than God is a being. Shaykh Muhammad At-Tamimi said,

وكل ما سوى الله عالم, وأنا واحد من ذلك العالم

“All other than Allah is ‘nature (being), and I am one part of the’ nature.” [2]

The Prologue of As-Sunnah
There is a firm proposition stating that Allah created ‘Arsy.

Abu Raziin Al-Uqailiy asked the Prophet the Messenger of Allaah ‘alaihi wa sallam,

يارسول الله أين كان ربنا قبل أن يخلق خلقه? قال كان في عماء ما الما على

“O Messenger of Allah, where was our Lord before he created his creatures? He replied, ‘He is in’ amaa, nothing above and below the air, then he creates His Throne on the water. ‘”[3]

The jurisprudence of ijma ‘ulama
Muhammad bin ‘Uthman bin Abi Syaibah said,

ثم تواترت الأخبار أن الله تعالى خلق العرش فاستوى عليه

“The news reaches the level of mutawatir (so many paths) that Allah Ta’ala creates’ Arsy and then lives on it.” [4]

Mulaa Ali Al-Qarii mentions in syarh Al-Fikhul Al-Akbar,

إن الله تعالى خلق العرش إظهارا لقدرته

“Indeed Allah Ta’ala created ‘Arsy to reveal His power.” [5]

Ibn Hazm rahimahullah said,

اتفقوا أن الله وحده لا شريك له, خالق كل شيء غيره, وأنه تعالى لم يزل وحده, ولا شيء غيره معه, ثم خلق الأشياء كلها كما شاء, وأن النفس مخلوقة, والعرش مخلوق, والعالم كله مخلوق “. .

“The scholars have agreed that Allah the Almighty, there is no partner for Him, the Creator of all things except Himself. He is always the One. There is nothing besides God who pampers Him, then He creates everything as He wishes. The soul is a creature, ‘arsy it is a being, and’ nature is all creatures. “[6]

‘Arsy is the highest makhluq Allah and Allah is above’ Throne.

Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,

إن الله على عرشه و إن عرشه على سمواته و أرضه كهكذا و قال بأصابعه مثل القبة

“Allah is above His Throne and His Throne above the heavens and the earth, as it is and he is gesturing with his fingers like a dome.” [7]

Rasulullah shallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,

إذا سألتم الله فاسألوه الفردوس فإنه وسط الجنة و أعلاها وفوقه عرش الرحمن ومنه تفجر أنهار الجنة

“If you ask, ask Al-Firdaus, for he is the ultimate heaven and the highest and above it is the ‘Throne of Allah, and of him the rivers of heaven.’ [8]

‘Arsy is the first creature God created

There is a clue what the first creatures God created. There are three opinions in this regard

1. Al-Qalam (pen writes destiny)
This is the opinion of Ibn Jarir At-Tabari and Ibn Jauzi

2. Al-Maa ‘(water)
This is Ibn Mas’ud’s opinion and partial salam

3. Al-‘Arsy
This is the opinion of Ibn Taimiyyah and Ibnul Qayyim. [9]

The strongest opinion-the first thing that God had created was’ Arsy. Shaykh Al-‘Ustaimin explains,

أول ما خلق الله من الأشياء المعلومة لنا هو العرش, واستوى عليه بعد خلق السماوات, كما قال – تعالى: – (وهو الذي خلق السماوات والأرض في ستة أيام وكان عرشه على الماء ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا

“The first thing God created from everything that we abstain is ‘Throne, then God is on it after creating the heavens and the earth as in the word of God,’ And He Who created the heavens and the earth within six days. (Previous) ‘arsy Allah on the water, to test you who is the best

7 Reasons Must Learn Arabic

7 Reasons Must Learn Arabic

Why study Arabic? What are the benefits?

Although we are not Arabs, but the benefits are quite large if we want to learn Arabic.

Here are some reasons why we should take time to learn Arabic.

 

First:
The virtue of the Arabic language is very clear because Arabic is the language of Al-Qur’an Al-Karim. Quite the reason this is a big reason why we should learn Arabic. The specialties of Arabic are mentioned in the Qur’an more than ten places, among them in verse,

ولقد ضربنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل لعلهم يتذكرون. قرآنا عربيا غير ذي عوج لعلهم يتقون

“We have made for men in this Qur’an every kind of parable so that they may learn. (Is) the Qur’an in Arabic that there is no crook (in it) that they may be cautious. “(Surah Az-Zumar: 27-28)

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyah rahimahullah said,

اللسان العربي شعار الإسلام وأهله

“Arabic is the syi’ar of Islam and the syi’ar of the Muslims.” It is mentioned in Iqtidha ‘Shirath Al-Mustaqim.

 

Second:
By studying Arabic easier to memorize, understand, teach and practice the contents of the Qur’an. With Arabic capital will be easy also in understanding the hadiths of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, memorize, explain and mengamalkannya.

 

Third:
People who understand Arabic, especially understand kaedah-kaedah in science nahwu will more easily understand Islam than do not learn it at all. Moreover, if one’s duties as a messenger, a da’i, kyai or ustadz, would be more urgent to learn it in order to easily provide a true understanding of religion in the crowd.

 

Fourth:
People who understand Arabic will easily dig knowledge from scholars directly or read the various works of scholars who have been widely spread to this day. While those who do not understand Arabic language can only rely on the translation and it is limited.

 

Fifth:
Arabic is a gentler and more heartfelt language, and reassures the soul.

Ibn Kathir when explaining the letter of Joseph the second verse states,

لأن لغة العرب أفصح اللغات وأبينها وأوسعها, وأكثرها تأدية للمعاني التي تقوم بالنفوس

“Because Arabic is the most eloquent, clearest, broadest (vocabulary) language, and contains the most placid meaning of the soul.”

 

Sixth:
Arabic is the noblest language.

Ibnu Katsir rahimahullah also stated,

فلهذا أنزل أشرف الكتب بأشرف اللغات, على أشرف الرسل, بسفارة أشرف الملائكة, وكان ذلك في أشرف بقاع الأرض, وابتدئ إنزاله في أشرف شهور السنة وهو رمضان, فكمل من كل الوجوه

“Since the Qur’an is the most glorious of the books, it is revealed in the noblest language, taught to the most glorious Apostle, delivered by the most glorious angels, sent down in the most glorious place on earth, descended also in the glorious moon the month of Ramadan. From all sides of it, we can judge how noble the holy book of the Qur’an. ”

Therefore Allah declares about Arabic,

إنا أنزلناه قرآنا عربيا لعلكم تعقلون

“We have sent it down in the form of the Qur’an in Arabic, so that you may understand it.” (Surah Yusuf: 2)

 

Seventh:
Arabic is a straight language, easy to understand and easy to use as a law for humans.

God declares himself,

قرآنا عربيا غير ذي عوج لعلهم يتقون

“(It is) the Qur’an in Arabic that there is no crook (in it) that they may be cautious.” (Surah Az-Zumar: 28)

In another verse mentioned,

(193) على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين (194) بلسان عربي مبين (195) (193) على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين (194) واللا على المنذرين (192)

“And verily the Qur’an is truly revealed by the Lord of the worlds, he is brought down by Ar-Ruh Al-Amin (Gabriel), into your heart (Muhammad) that you become one among those who give warning, with clear Arabic. “(Surat ash-Shu’ara: 192-195). As mentioned in Zaad Al-Masiir by Ibnul Jauzi, the Qur’an is revealed in Arabic, the language of the Quraysh, which everyone understands easily.

Also in another verse mentioned,

وكذلك أنزلناه حكما عربيا

“And thus, We have derived the Qur’an as the (true) rule in Arabic.” (Surah Ar-Ra’du: 37). Mentioned in Tafsir Al-Jalalain, Arabic is used as a law in the midst of humans. In Zaad Al-Masiir mentioned that Arabic can be used to explain the mandatory laws.

Still not moved your heart to learn the most noble language and loved by God?

May Allah be easy
