An-Nisa' 4:60

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَزۡعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمۡ ءَامَنُواْ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَقَدۡ أُمِرُوٓاْ أَن يَكۡفُرُواْ بِهِۦۖ وَيُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُضِلَّهُمۡ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدٗا

English - Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Referring to Other than the Qur'an and Sunnah for Judgment is Characteristic of Non-Muslims

Allah chastises those who claim to believe in what Allah has sent down to His Messenger and to the earlier Prophets, yet they refer to other than the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger for judgment in various disputes. It was reported that the reason behind revealing this Ayah was that a man from the Ansar and a Jew had a dispute, and the Jew said, "Let us refer to Muhammad to judge between us." However, the Muslim man said, "Let us refer to Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf (a Jew) to judge between us." It was also reported that the Ayah was revealed about some hypocrites who pretended to be Muslims, yet they sought to refer to the judgment of Jahiliyyah.

Other reasons were also reported behind the revelation of the Ayah. However, the Ayah has a general meaning, as it chastises all those who refrain from referring to the Qur'an and Sunnah for judgment and prefer the judgment of whatever they chose of falsehood, which befits the description of Taghut here.

This is why Allah said,﴾يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُواْ إِلَى الطَّـغُوتِ﴿ (and they wish to go for judgment to the Taghut) until the end of the Ayah.

Allah's statement,﴾يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُوداً﴿(turn away from you with aversion) means, they turn away from you in arrogance

Allah's statement, ﴾يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُوداً﴿ (turn away from you with aversion) means, they turn away from you in arrogance, just as Allah described the polytheists, ﴾وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُواْ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَا﴿ (When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has sent down." They say: "Nay! We shall follow what we found our fathers following.") This is different from the conduct of the faithful believers, whom Allah describes as, ﴾إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن يَقُولُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا﴿ (The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey.")

Chastising the Hypocrites

Chastising the hypocrites, Allah said, ﴾فَكَيْفَ إِذَآ أَصَـبَتْهُمْ مُّصِيبَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ﴿ (How then, when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth,) meaning, how about it if they feel compelled to join you because of disasters that they suffer due to their sins, then they will be in need of you. ﴾ثُمَّ جَآءُوكَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَآ إِلاَّ إِحْسَاناً وَتَوْفِيقاً﴿ (They come to you swearing by Allah, "We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!") apologizing and swearing that they only sought goodwill and reconciliation when they referred to other than the Prophet for judgment, not that they believe in such alternative judgment, as they claim. Allah describes these people to us further in His statement, ﴾فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يُسَـرِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى﴿ (And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear"), until, ﴾فَيُصْبِحُواْ عَلَى مَآ أَسَرُّواْ فِى أَنفُسِهِمْ نَـدِمِينَ﴿ (Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves). At-Tabarani recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "Abu Barzah Al-Aslami used to be a soothsayer who judged between the Jews in their disputes. When some Muslims came to him to judge between them, Allah sent down, ﴾أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُواْ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ﴿ (Have you not seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you), until, ﴾إِنْ أَرَدْنَآ إِلاَّ إِحْسَاناً وَتَوْفِيقاً﴿ ("We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!") Allah then said, ﴾أُولَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ﴿ (They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts;) These people are hypocrites, and Allah knows what is in their hearts and will punish them accordingly, for nothing escapes Allah's watch. Consequently, O Muhammad! Let Allah be sufficient for you in this regard, because He has perfect knowledge of their apparent and hidden affairs. This is why Allah said, ﴾فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ﴿ (so turn aside from them (do not punish them)) meaning, do not punish them because of what is in their hearts. ﴾وَعِظْهُمْ﴿ (but admonish them) means, advise them against the hypocrisy and evil that reside in their hearts, ﴾وَقُل لَّهُمْ فِى أَنفُسِهِمْ قَوْلاً بَلِيغاً﴿ (and speak to them an effective word to reach their inner selves) advise them, between you and them, using effective words that might benefit them.

Nothing can actually stop us in many of our pursuits, until we stop ourselves to the point we reach an actual tangible dead-end (at which point u can steer another way, or, throw the shot onto a better place, bc your skillset is never truly limited my g's, never doubt your courage). Self-assesment shouldn’t be shortsighted such that person sits in their lala land without actively debating themselves. But I’ve also witnessed straight up self-ostracisation in the name of discipline while discipline is meant to reinstigate morale instead of having a diminishing value.

And the 'master key' stays that the best test is given by the person holding ignorance of demarcations or limits, because we truly bloom only then.

advice to the shabab

akhlāq/ mannerisms of arguments include holding unconditional dignity for your opponent, and the evidences must be concrete. Being aware of the influence of emotions and being aware of your personal emotional tendencies is auxiliary in argumentative akhlaaq.

I feel and I think shouldn’t be overused. Backing off sagaciously & planning the progress of your argument shouldn’t be deserted. Realising to hold your doubts back as opposed to trying to weaponise them is the strongest arrow in your bag. Look them up and utilise benchmark data and statistics wherever you should once you’re back to your den. Recognise the flaws and fulfill the rites of ilm and taqwa. No loss is a loss if you return safe in your station with Allah رب العزة

hope that makes sense.

Patience is solitude with Allah

To maintain fortitude in the face of trials, presents with obstacles in itself. And when you present to Allah in solitude, purely, trying to hide nothing, knowing that nothing can hide from Al-Jabbar, believing in the dua لا ملجأ ولا منجا إلا إليك, it requires only one thing, bearing the obstacles and showing up to tahajjud as unseen and hidden as you want your trials and insinuations to be.

Aqwâl muhimm

[breezeway-view]

Woke up from my nap with hiccups, confused, tried everything, temper builds, tamed myself, still had it after 30 - 40 mins, made dua persistently, stopped in a while. If Allah hadnt willed i would've still been حازوقةing.

Sometimes we expect our sabr, dua, istighfar and dhikr to reward us the way we want. And we don't realise when we get impatient and feel contempt Allah is aware of what hides in our chests. Sometimes we need the test to be ready for the result. Don't harbour such a linear relationship with Allah that every situation should dua+salah+trust= your pursuit cracked right away. Sometimes, you have to trudge, as long as u put none or halfhearted effort, nothing will change, and sometimes you have to yearn, sometimes you have to recognize once again that Allah is not flawed. Yes, when your effort is restricted, we can persist at dua only. But sometimes, you have to strengthen your patience, and your firmness over your deen in ur heart and certainty of Allah's majesty. In an academic Or corporate life, we do work begrudgingly and it could give u a grade and pay raise. In your relation with Allah, Allah says i will be to my slave as he thinks of me. If you think Allah doesn't like your requests, that your hardship is meagre, or you're just not good enough to be answered, this is what you'll be stuck at, until your ikhlas rejuvenates and regrows. Be thankful, be humble and accept, work still, show sorrow over transgressions. Even when ur not in dua, at the extreme least, say alhamdulillaah and make istighfaar consistently. But please make it a habit to make dhikr constantly, even if we dont have a pursuit to achieve, it is always due upon us to remember our Rabb. While saying رضيت بالله ربا, be truthful to it

TLDR; you are flawed, not Allah, so stop expecting that you should be served like a king.

Water, in the light of islām

Allah reminds us that hukm is for Him alone, what we used to find relief in can turn deadly, what wouldve been deadly can end up being a safety, like the multiple facets of water, and Allah gave us the sanity to know one from the other to an extent, from direct taste and sight to microscopic and chemical tests, to the logics of it's deadly force to it's purification for potability, to understanding it's pathological involvement, and the rest is known by only Allah. Tawakkul, trust in Allah as the Controller of affairs, the cornerstone of our lives, as we are being reminded through these benevolent aayaat.

It couldve been snatched from its oppressors, made to scorch them. But Allah's qadar is maktūb, this water can be the means for some to get to jannah and others jahannam.

Had it not been Allah's mercy and merciful favours it wouldn't have been so. The most vital resource couldve been created scanty, bitter, scorching and yet nutritious. But Allah made it sweet, relieving, be it cold or warm.

Nafs, fighting today's glamour, not giving up akhirah.

How many years of tawakkul did it take for yusuf alayhissalam, how much strength of faith and tawakkul did it take for Bilal رضي الله عنه, for salman al farsi رضي الله عنه? What happened to your tawakkul? Why have you left them, don't you want their company in jannatul ferdous?
