Istidraj: A Deceptive Blessing

Definition:

Istidraj refers to a situation where Allah grants continuous worldly blessings (such as wealth, power, success, or health) to a person despite their sinful or disobedient behavior. It is not a sign of Allah’s pleasure but rather a form of divine test or gradual punishment.

Concept in Islam:

• Allah gives these blessings to mislead the disbelievers or sinners further into arrogance and heedlessness.

• The person receiving istidraj may wrongly assume that they are favored by Allah, while in reality, they are being led closer to destruction due to their ungratefulness and disobedience.

Quranic Reference:

Allah mentions in the Quran:

“But when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.”(Surah Al-An’am: 44)

This verse indicates that when people ignore Allah’s guidance, He may grant them abundant worldly pleasures, but this is merely a trap before a severe punishment.

Hadith About Istidraj:

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“When you see that Allah gives a servant from this world what he loves, despite him persisting in sins, then know that it is istidraj.”(Ahmad, Al-Tabarani, Al-Bayhaqi)

Signs of Istidraj:

1. Continuous Blessings Despite Sinning – A person keeps receiving wealth, power, or success while engaging in sinful acts.

2. False Sense of Security – They believe their prosperity means Allah is pleased with them.

3. Sudden Punishment – When they least expect it, they face destruction or loss.4. A Test Rather Than a Reward – It is not a true blessing but a delayed consequence of their actions.

How to Avoid Istidraj?

1. Stay Grateful and Humble– Recognize that all blessings are tests from Allah.

2. Repent Sincerely– Continuously seek forgiveness (istighfar) and turn back to Allah.

3. Strengthen Iman and Worship– Avoid neglecting prayers, charity, and good deeds.

4. Regular self-reflection to ensure that success does not lead to pride or sin.– Understand that wealth, power, or success should bring one closer to Allah, not further away.

Hikmah (Wisdom) of Avoiding Istidraj

1. Closer Connection with Allah: Regular prayer, remembrance, and repentance strengthen your relationship with Allah, bringing inner peace and spiritual fulfillment.

2. Increased Iman (Faith): Consistently practicing good deeds and seeking knowledge enhances your faith and understanding of Islam.

3. ⁠Reduced Anxiety: Knowing that you are on the right path and avoiding sinful behavior can alleviate stress and worry.

4. ⁠Positive Influence: Being a role model for others by practicing good behavior and avoiding sins can inspire and motivate those around you.

1. The Meaning and Importance of Adab

• Definition: Adab originates from the Arabic root “أدب,” meaning to refine, educate, and discipline. It encompasses habits, manners, etiquette, and appropriate conduct, emphasizing refinement and good breeding.

• Islamic Perspective: In Islam, Adab represents not just manners but also morality and proper action derived from Islamic teachings. It is considered a reflection of one’s ethical conduct in both speech and behavior.

2. Distinction Between Adab and Akhlāq

• Akhlāq refers to moral philosophy—the principles and reasoning behind what is right or wrong.

• Adab, on the other hand, focuses on the practical application of those principles through behavior and manners. For example:

• Akhlāq explains why truthfulness is virtuous.

• Adab involves speaking truthfully in daily interactions.

3. Adab Toward Parents: The Example of Prophet Ibrahim A.S. (Surah Maryam: 41-50)

Prophet Ibrahim A.S. demonstrates how to maintain proper Adab while addressing his father, who was a disbeliever and idol-worshiper.

Respectful Communication

• Terms of Address: Ibrahim A.S. repeatedly uses the affectionate phrase “يَا أَبَتِ” (“O my dear father”), showing deep respect and love.

• Gentle Advice: He avoids direct confrontation or insults. Instead, he invites his father to reflect on the helplessness of idols, highlighting their inability to hear, see, or benefit.

Humility in Guidance

• Acknowledging Knowledge: He mentions the knowledge granted to him as a Prophet but avoids boasting. He humbly requests his father to follow him for guidance, emphasizing sincerity rather than superiority.

• Avoiding Hurtful Words: Ibrahim A.S. refrains from using derogatory terms like “infidel” or “sinner,” which could hurt his father emotionally.

Warning with Concern

• Divine Consequences: He warns his father about the potential punishment from Allah without being harsh, expressing genuine concern for his father’s well-being.

4. Adab in the Face of Rejection

When his father threatens to stone him and orders him to leave, Ibrahim A.S. responds with patience and kindness:

• Words of Peace: He says, “Peace will be upon you,” showing no anger or hostility despite the threat.

• Supplication: Ibrahim A.S. promises to pray for his father’s forgiveness, illustrating his unwavering love and care even in adversity.

5. Rewards for Upholding Adab

After Ibrahim A.S. leaves his father and his people due to their rejection of Allah, Allah grants him:

• A Better Family: He is blessed with descendants who are Prophets (Isaac and Jacob).

• Honour: Allah bestows mercy and ensures that Ibrahim A.S. and his family are remembered with respect.

Hikmah (Wisdom) of Adab:

1. Strengthens Relationships:

• Practicing adab fosters mutual respect and trust among individuals, strengthening family ties, friendships, and community bonds.

2. Reflects Inner Faith:

• Good manners and behavior are external manifestations of one’s internal faith and spiritual commitment to Allah.

3. Promotes Social Harmony:

• Adab minimizes conflict and fosters an environment of kindness, patience, and understanding, leading to a more peaceful society.

4. Develops Self-Discipline:

• By consciously practicing adab, a person refines their character, exercises self-control, and becomes mindful of their words and actions.

5. Pleasing Allah:

• Upholding adab is an act of worship that earns the pleasure of Allah and brings barakah (blessings) in one’s life.

6. Acts as Dawah:

• Displaying good adab can inspire others to appreciate and understand Islamic teachings, thus serving as a means of da’wah (invitation to Islam).

The Six Articles of Faith

Belief in Allah

The foundation of Islamic faith is the belief in Allah as the one and only God. He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all existence. This belief is further categorized into:

• Tawhid Al-Asma’ wa-Sifat (Oneness of Names and Attributes)

“Do you know of anyone similar to Him?” (Surah Maryam 19:65)

→ This verse affirms that no one is comparable to Allah in His essence, attributes, or actions. His names and attributes are unique, absolute, and beyond human comprehension.

• Tawhid Al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Lordship)

“Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them”

→ This emphasizes Allah’s supreme authority, absolute power, and total ownership over creation. He alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and Controller of everything.

• Tawhid Al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Worship)

“So worship Him and be steadfast in His worship”

→ This underscores that worship is due to Allah alone, requiring unwavering devotion and consistency. True faith is demonstrated through exclusive submission to Him.

Belief in Angels

Angels are pure beings created from light who exist solely to obey Allah’s commands. They do not possess free will, making them completely incapable of disobedience. Their creation serves as a testament to Allah’s greatness and power, reinforcing His divine order.

Belief in the Divine Books

The Divine Books were revealed by Allah to guide humanity toward truth and remind them of their ultimate purpose. The Qur’an, as the final and most comprehensive revelation, has been preserved in its original form, unlike previous scriptures that underwent alterations.

The Four Major Divine Books:

• The Torah (Taurah)– Revealed to Prophet Moses

• The Psalms (Zabur)– Revealed to Prophet David

• The Gospel (Injil)– Revealed to Prophet Jesus

• The Qur’an– Revealed to Prophet Muhammad

Hikmah (Wisdom) Behind the Six Articles of Faith

1. Belief in Allah – Strengthening Tawhid (Oneness of Allah)

• Recognizing Allah’s names and attributes increases love and trust in Him. Knowing that He is the Most Merciful (Ar-Rahman) and the All-Knowing (Al-‘Alim) gives comfort in times of hardship.

• Understanding Allah’s Lordship instills humility. Everything happens by His will, reminding us to rely on Him completely.

• Accepting Allah as the only One worthy of worship protects us from false beliefs, giving our hearts clarity and purpose.

2. Belief in Angels – Awareness of the Unseen

• Knowing that angels record our deeds encourages us to be mindful of our actions, leading to better behavior.

• The presence of guardian angels reassures us that Allah’s protection is always near.

• Understanding that angels carry out Allah’s commands reminds us that the universe operates under His perfect control.

3. Belief in the Divine Books – Guidance for a Purposeful Life

• The revelation of divine books shows Allah’s mercy in providing guidance across different generations.

• The Qur’an’s preservation reassures Muslims that they have a reliable, unchanged source of truth.

• Learning from past scriptures helps us see the consequences of straying from Allah’s path and the importance of staying true to His teachings.

Meaning of the Pillars of Islam

The Pillars of Islam refer to the five fundamental acts in Islam that are obligatory for every Muslim. They form the foundation of a believer’s faith and daily practice, guiding them in worship and righteous living.

Definition of Hadith Jibril

Hadith Jibril is a hadith that explains the five Pillars of Islam, the six Pillars of Iman (faith), and the concept of Ihsan. It is presented as a dialogue between Angel Jibril (Gabriel) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This hadith is considered a summary of Islamic teachings, as it outlines the three key aspects of Islam: Islam, Iman, and Ihsan, along with signs of the Day of Judgment.

Why Is It Called Hadith Jibril?

This hadith is named after Angel Jibril because he appeared in the form of an unknown man and asked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about Islam, Iman, Ihsan, and the signs of the Day of Judgment. The event took place in front of the Prophet’s companions to educate them on the fundamentals of Islam.

The Three Core Aspects in Hadith Jibril

1. A servant giving birth to her master (interpreted as drastic social changes).

2. The poor and shepherds competing to build tall structures (symbolizing materialism and arrogance).

Usrah interpreted as a gathering that involves Islamic religious activities, such as discussions on specific topics. The word usrah originates from Arabic and means family. However, the medium of usrah is not limited to discussions alone.

The word Adab originates from Arabic and refers to behavior and actions that reflect goodness, courtesy, morality, politeness, etiquette, and humanity.

S. Naquib Al-Attas (2007) defined knowledge as the arrival of meaning within an individual, leading to transformation based on the acquired knowledge. Meanwhile, Imam Al-Ghazali defined knowledge as the reality of all things.

ADAB IN SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

1. Honoring and respecting teachers

2. Sincerely purifying the intention to learn

3. Being diligent and dedicated in seeking knowledge

Hikmah (Wisdom) Behind Usrah, Adab, and Seeking Knowledge:

1. A Sense of Belonging – Usrah isn’t just about discussing Islamic topics; it’s about creating a supportive environment, like a family. It reminds us that we’re not alone in our journey of faith and knowledge. The warmth of a close-knit group can inspire and strengthen us.

2. Becoming a Better Person – Adab is more than just good manners; it’s about treating others with kindness, humility, and respect. It teaches us to carry ourselves with dignity, to be patient, and to act with sincerity in everything we do. A person with adab naturally earns love and respect from others.

3. More Than Just Learning—It’s About Growth – Knowledge isn’t just about memorizing facts. As Al-Attas and Al-Ghazali mentioned, true knowledge changes us. It helps us understand the world, make better choices, and see things with clarity and purpose.

4. The Secret to Meaningful Learning – The way we approach knowledge matters. When we respect our teachers, stay sincere in our intentions, and put in the effort, we find that learning becomes more fulfilling. It’s not just about getting good grades—it’s about becoming wiser, more thoughtful, and more aware.

5. Guidance in Life’s Journey – With knowledge and adab, we are less likely to feel lost. We learn to make choices that align with our faith and values, finding peace and purpose in our actions.

6. Success in Both Worlds – When we seek knowledge with sincerity and practice good adab, we gain not only wisdom in this life but also blessings in the Hereafter. It’s a lifelong journey, but one that brings both personal fulfillment and spiritual reward.
