Understanding Al-Quran 2 of 2

Understanding al-Quran Ta'weel/Tafsir Mutashabih 2/2
I urge you to follow the four schools. Deobandis seem to follow the wahhabis in many things. They are against tawassul, tabarruk and mawlid and they learn this from wahhabis.

I urge to stay hanafi and learn about Islam from our lessons:

Tafsir - Understanding & Interpreting al-Quran تأويل القرآن


كل المسلمين يعتقدون أن الله لا يشبه شيئا من خلقه بأي وجهٍ من الوجوه قال الله تعالى : (ليس كمثله شىء) وقال: (ولم يكن له كفواً أحد) أي ليس له شبيه وقال: (هل تعلم له سميّا) أي ليس لله مثل.
السلف الصالح حين يقولون : الله له عينٌ ليست كعيوننا ويدٌ ليست كأيدينا، ووجهٌ ليس كوجوهنا، يريدون بذلك نفي الجسمية". ونقل الطحاوي تنزيه الله عن الحد والجسم والأعضاء والمكان والجهات.

Muhkamat Verses and Mutashabihat Verses.

The Muhkam Ayah: A verse that has one clear meaning. Like {Laysa Kamithlihi Shay'}

The Mutashabih Ayah: A verse that can have many meanings. Like: {Allahu Nurus-Samawati wal-'Ard}

Allah said in the Qur'an, in Surat Al-^Imran, ayah 7 means: [Allah is the One Who has sent down to the Prophet the Book that contains muhkamat ayat, which are the foundation of the Book, and other ayat which are mutashabihat.] So, know firmly, that the Qur'an contains two types of ayat:

Muhkamat ayat and Mutashabihat ayat

• Muhkamat ayat:
These are the ayat that have only one meaning according to the rules of the Arabic language or else the meaning of the ayah is clearly known. Examples of this type of ayat are: the saying of Allah, ta^ala in Suratash-Shura,ayah 11 means: [Absolutely there is nothing like Him] and His saying, ta^ala:

Suratal-Ikhlas, ayah 4 means: [There is nothing which is equal to Him], and His saying, ta^ala in Surat Maryam,ayah 65 means: [Do you know of anything which is similar to Him? There is none.]

• Mutashabihat ayat:
These are the ayat that can have many meanings according to the rules of the Arabic language. Assigning meanings to these ayat requires thorough thinking so that acceptable meanings are given to them. Examples of this type of ayat are: the saying of Allah, ta^ala, in Surat Taha, ayah 5 in and His saying, ta^ala, in Surat Fatir, ayah 10.

According to the rules of the Arabic language, these ayat are mutashabihat; so they can have many meanings. If meanings are assigned to them, this must be done in a manner that complies with the language and the Religion, and does not contradict the ayat that are muhkamat. Surely the ayat of the Qur'an do not contradict one another. Likewise, the ahadith (sayings of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam,) do not contradict one another, and they do not contradict the ayat of the Qur'an.

Imam al-Ghazaliyy said: " Allah, the Exalted, existed eternally and there was no place. He is not a body, jawhar (atom), or property, and He is not on a place or in a place."
