The name of Allah, Al-Quddus (The Most Holy), and the effects of believing in it.
0:13
In the Arabic language, "al-quds" denotes purity.
0:18
It encompasses being free from every deficiency and anything perceived as impure, whether physically or abstractly.
0:24
The name of Allah, Al-Quddus, has been mentioned in two verses.
0:27
The statement of Allah the Exalted:
0:30
“He is Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).” (59:23)
0:35
And His statement, the Exalted:
0:37
“All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, the Mighty, the Wise.” (62:1)
0:45
Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, is the Pure, who is far removed from evil, deficiency, and blemish.
0:51
And from everything that does not befit His majesty, glory be to Him.
0:54
Among the effects of believing in this noble name:
0:59
Loving Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, and holding Him in awe and reverence.
1:03
This is due to His possession of the attributes of perfection and majesty.
1:06
And His being free from deficiencies and flaws.
1:10
Secondly:
1:12
Declaring Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, to be free in His names and attributes from every deficiency and flaw.
1:17
This includes affirming what Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, has affirmed for Himself.
1:22
And what His Messenger, peace be upon him, has affirmed for Him.
1:26
While declaring Him free from any resemblance to any of His creation.
1:30
And declaring Him, glory be to Him, free from partners, spouses, children, and rivals.
1:36
For He is Allah, the One, the Unique, the Independent, the Eternal Refuge.
1:40
Thirdly:
1:42
Declaring the actions, words, creation, and commands of Allah to be free from futility and aimlessness.
1:48
For all of His creation, commands, words, and actions,
1:52
Are based on knowledge, wisdom, might, and mercy.
1:56
Fourthly:
1:58
Avoiding having evil assumptions about Allah the Exalted.
2:01
Because that constitutes a failure to sanctify Him, glory be to Him.
2:05
And He is Allah, Al-Quddus.
2:07
Allah the Exalted said regarding the hypocrites and the polytheists:
2:12
“And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, who think an evil thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune, and Allah is wroth against them and hath cursed them, and hath made ready for them hell, a hapless journey's end.” (48:6)
2:16
Upon them is a misfortune of evil.
2:19
“And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, who think an evil thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune, and Allah is wroth against them and hath cursed them, and hath made ready for them hell, a hapless journey's end.” (48:6)
2:22
And He has prepared Hell for them, and evil it is as a destination.
2:27
Fifthly:
2:29
Seeking judgment through the law of Allah, being content with it, and submitting to it.
2:34
For whoever rejects the judgment of Allah or refuses to seek judgment through it,
2:38
Has not sanctified Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
