Answer

1) There are numerous Quraanic verses and Ahadith encouraging man to ponder%0D%0Aover the creation of the universe, the sky,the earth, the sun and moon etc.%0D%0Afrom these Divine Texts we come to realise the virtue and value of pondering%0D%0Aand studying these natural elements. The intention should solely be to%0D%0Arecognise the greatness, grandeur and splendour of one's Creator and how He%0D%0Ahas created all these heavenly bodies in perfection alone and by means of%0D%0Athis to gain the proximity of Allah Ta'ala. One should not become so%0D%0Aengrossed in studying these phenomena that he begins to forget his%0D%0Aprioreties in Deen and also to study these sciences in the light of the Holy%0D%0AQuraan and Ahadith. Allah Ta'ala mentions in the 4th chapter of the holy%0D%0AQuraan in Surah Aal-e-Imraan, verse no.190: Verily, in the creation of the%0D%0Askies and the earth and in the alternating of the night and the day are%0D%0Atruly signs for those of intelligence.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn Al-Jaamius Sagheer of Allamah Suyuti a hadith is mentioned: Ponder over%0D%0Athe creation...%0D%0A%0D%0AIt has been reported from a few Sahaba radiyallahu anhum that nabi alaihis%0D%0Asalaam approached then and so they kept silent and he asked them: "What were%0D%0Ayou people speakin about?". They replied: "We looked at the sun and we were%0D%0Apondering over it that where did it come from and to where does it go and%0D%0Aand we pondered over the creation of Allah". So, he said: " Continue to do%0D%0Aso in the same manner, ponder over the creation of Allah but donot ponder%0D%0Aover the being of Allah ...(Refer to Ad-durrul Mansoor Surah An-najm, verse%0D%0Ano. 42-47)%0D%0A%0D%0A2) We find in the treasure of Ahadith that nabi alaihis salaam once said%0D%0Athat: "Make tawaaf of the ka'bah in abundance before it is lifted up and the%0D%0Apeople will forget its original place. Nabi alaihis salaam also said: Take%0D%0Amaximum benefit from the Ka'bah because it was destroyed twice before and on%0D%0Athe third occassion it will be raised up. In many Ahadith we find that the%0D%0AKa'abah will remain intact till the time just before Qiyamat. (Ad-durrul%0D%0AMansoor%0D%0A%0D%0ANabi alaihis salaam said: Those with smallweak shins from Abyssinia will%0D%0Adestroy the Ka'abah. It is recorded in Fathul Bari that this will occur%0D%0Aprior to Qiyanat when there will be no soul to utter the name of Allah.%0D%0A%0D%0A3) Allah Ta'la states in the Holy Quraan: He has not made Deen as a burden%0D%0Aupon you. Nabi alaihis salaam mentions: Certainly, Deen is easy. The Deen of%0D%0AIslaam comprises of the Quraan and the Sunnat. These two jewels are%0D%0Asufficient for our salvation in both the worlds and the beauty of Islaam is%0D%0Aits easiness and practicality. If we donot understand a ceratin aspect, then%0D%0Athe ideal would be to ask those that possess the knowledge. The method of%0D%0Apropagating Islaam which is outlined in the Quraan and Hadith is suficient%0D%0Aand most effective. Also, it should be understood that deen was spread from%0D%0Aheart to heart. Our humble opinion is that this particular website should be%0D%0Aignored and not forwarded to others. The enemies of Islaam operate in very%0D%0Asubtle ways. Let us cling to our Shariat through the guidance of the learned%0D%0AScolars of Deen.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
