I HAVE QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER

in our SALAH first we make the NIYATH the intention to pray

during the QIAM we recite the SURAH at this time a thought came that kettle was left on burning stove

but we repel this thought and concentrate upon the rituals to finish the SALAH

here is your answer MUMIN is when thought comes from ALLAH he makes his choice according to the SUNNAH

KAFFIR is when thought comes from ALLAH he will chose what pleases him

 The problem  (Number two) is why the people whose heart is sealed, why they become Muslims, why some of them embrace Islam.

 Actually, there is lesson to the Muslims (Believers) not to waste time preaching to the utter enemies (kuffar) of Islam. They will not believe, they will not return. So it is advised not to preach to the utter enemies. Instead, it is better to select some other good natured persons for imparting the knowledge of Islam.

Otherwise, it is not a sure thing that none of the enemies will come to Islam. It is a matter of repentence. If any one will repent and admit his faults and act like Adam a.s. and he/she departs from the way of the devil (Al-Shaitan), surely Allah is oft returning to Mercy.

 Allah will accept his/her prayers and repentence and will guide him/her to the right path. A good example is the son of Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a. He was an utter enemy of Islam. When Makkah was liberated, he ran away from Makkah.

 His wife requested the prophet s.a.w.s. for amnesty for him. The prophet s.a.w.s. granted amnesty. So she went to a very far away place to bring him back to Makkah. Prophet forgave him and admitted him in the fold of islam. Please see that not all kaafirs are of the same degree.

 In the verses under discussion, it is only an advice to the believers that they should not waste their time on the utter enemies. And also that they may try to preach to them. But if they (Kaafirs) will not become a muslim then the believers should not be dishearted because their effort failed. Allah is telling the believers that the enemies of Islam will not believe so easily.

 I hope there is no more question on this line. It is necessary to gain knowledge and we should ask and learn from each other. I learn many things by just reading the posts and keeping quiet.

 I forgot to note (rather sadly now) that it was the final question. Thanks.

To answer your question Jazmine:

Allah (swt) mentions in Surah Al Baqarah chapter 2 verses 6 and 7

"As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur)." [Al-Qur�an 2:6-7]

These verses do not refer to common non-believer who rejects faith. This is address to those who are bent on rejecting the truth although they knew its accuracy. It will not make any difference to such people whether you warn them or not, they will not believe. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes is a veil. It is not because Allah has set a seal on their hearts that these kuffar do not understand and believe, but it is the vice-versa.

They knew the truth and keep on disbelieving thus Allah has set a seal on their hearts. Therefore Allah is not to blame, but these kuffaar who are bent on rejecting the faith. They (kuffar) are responsible to why Allah sealed their hearts, their hearing and put veil in their eyes and not Allah. This is painful to know but I have met many Muslim born men who has that (disbelieving) characteristics. They were Muslim to their mind but they argue with some, if not all, of the verses that don�t fits their likings and worst they are more wicked than those we categorized as �disbeliever�, astaghfirullah!

��nay, All�h has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little.� Quran 4:155

We need to always supplicate (Allah) to make our heart firm in believing and for Him to increase us in knowledge and understanding as the Prophet always make du�a:

�O You who changes the hearts, make our hearts firm on Your religion� Al-Qurtubi 1:187.

�He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember (will receive admonition) except men of understanding.� Quran 2:269

I hope this answer your question sister. May Allah guide us all and make our heart firm in the religion of Allah, ameen.
