When Evil Repugnant Actions Are Beautified & Become Fair-Seeming To A Servant
Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751) - rahimahullaah - said:
As for at-Tazyeen (adornment) then Allaah, the Most High, says: “Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.” [Surah al-An'aam: 108].
And He says: “Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds is made fair-seeming, so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allaah sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. [So destroy not yourself [O Muhammad (ﷺ)] in sorrow for them. Truly, Allaah is the All-Knower of what they do!]” [Surah Faatir: 8].
And He says: “But their hearts became hardened, and Shaytaan (Satan) made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do.” [Surah al-An’aam: 43].
So (in the first Aayah), Allaah (Subhaanahu) has attributed at-Tazyeen (the adornment and fair-seeming of actions) to be from Himself - (it being from His) Creation and Will. And at times (i.e. in the second Aayah) He has omitted the doer of it and attributed it to its cause. And at times (as in the third Aayah) He attributes the adornment and fair-seeming (of evil actions) to the one at whose hands it was introduced and commissioned (i.e. the Shaytaan). And this (type of) Tazyeen (adornment) which is from Him (Subhaanahu) is good - since it is a trial and a thorough test in order to make distinct the obedient from the disobedient ones from the people, and the believer from the unbeliever. As Allaah, the Most High, mentions: “Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it, in order that We may test them (mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds."[1] [Surah al-Kahf: 7].
And it (i.e. the type of adornment that is) from Shaytaan is Qabeeh (vile and repugnant). Furthermore, the Tazyeen (the type of adornment) by which Allaah (subhaanahu) adorns for the servant his evil deeds - then it is as a punishment from Allaah upon him because of his turning away from the Tawheed of Allaah and servitude to Him.
And as for preferring/choosing evil action over the good one; then indeed it is a must that He (Subhaanahu) distinguishes for him the good from the evil. So if after that he prefers the vile repugnant deed, (freely) choosing it, having love for it and being pleased with it for himself; then Allaah (the One free from all imperfections) will adorn it and make it fair-seeming for him. And Allaah will blind him from seeing its vileness and repugnancy after he used to deem it to be evil and repugnant. And it is incumbent that Allaah, the Most High, shows every Dhaalim (oppressive wrongdoer), Faajir (wicked immoral person) and Faasiq (open sinner) his Dhulm (wrongdoing), his Fujoor (lewdness and immorality) and his Fisq (open sinning) to be evil and repugnant.
So if he persists upon that (i.e. the evil action after knowing it) then that discernment and perception of it being repugnant will be raised from his heart and perhaps he will see it to be good - as punishment for him. Since it can only be shown to him to be repugnant with the light (of guidance) which is in his heart and it is decisive proof of Allaah against him. So if he persists upon his deviation and his Dhulm (wrongdoing) then he will lose that light from his heart.
So he will not be able to see its evil and repugnancy in the darkness of al-Jahl (ignorance), al-Fusooq (open sinning) and adh-Dhulm (wrongdoing). And alongside this, then Allaah's decisive proof is established upon him by way of the Risaalah (the message) and through informing (i.e. distinguishing the good from evil for) him the first time. Hence, the Tazyeen (i.e. this type of adornment) from the Lord Most High is just and as His Punishment there is wisdom (in it). Whereas, the Tazyeen (the type of adornment which is) from the Shaytaan is a luring temptation and Dhulm (oppressive wrongdoing). And it is an external cause (i.e. when Shaytaan adorns and makes evil deeds fair-seeming) for the servant (i.e. from Shaytaan).
Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751) - rahimahullaah - said:
As for at-Tazyeen (adornment) then Allaah, the Most High, says: “Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.” [Surah al-An'aam: 108].
And He says: “Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds is made fair-seeming, so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allaah sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. [So destroy not yourself [O Muhammad (ﷺ)] in sorrow for them. Truly, Allaah is the All-Knower of what they do!]” [Surah Faatir: 8].
And He says: “But their hearts became hardened, and Shaytaan (Satan) made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do.” [Surah al-An’aam: 43].
So (in the first Aayah), Allaah (Subhaanahu) has attributed at-Tazyeen (the adornment and fair-seeming of actions) to be from Himself - (it being from His) Creation and Will. And at times (i.e. in the second Aayah) He has omitted the doer of it and attributed it to its cause. And at times (as in the third Aayah) He attributes the adornment and fair-seeming (of evil actions) to the one at whose hands it was introduced and commissioned (i.e. the Shaytaan).

And it (i.e. the type of adornment that is) from Shaytaan is Qabeeh (vile and repugnant). Furthermore, the Tazyeen (the type of adornment) by which Allaah (subhaanahu) adorns for the servant his evil deeds - then it is as a punishment from Allaah upon him because of his turning away from the Tawheed of Allaah and servitude to Him.

👍3👏1
The internal cause (for the adornment and making evil deeds fair-seeming) which is found within himself is his love, hatred and turning away (from Allaah). And the Lord (the One free from all imperfections) is the Khaaliq (Creator) of all of them and all of it occurs by His Will and His Pre-Decree. And if He wishes then He can guide the whole of His Creation. And the truly protected one is the one whom Allaah protects and the truly forsaken and abandoned one is whom Allaah forsakes. “Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allaah, the Lord of the worlds.”[2]

Ibn Taymiyyah's Tremendous Reply Regarding The Disease & The Cure
All praise belongs to Allaah the Lord of all the worlds.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) - may Allaah be pleased with him and grant him paradise - was asked:
[Question]:
What is the cure for the one who has been overtaken by a disease, and what is the best strategy employed for the one who has been overwhelmed with Khabal (confused state of mind, mental disorder), and what is the correct course of action to be taken for the one who has been overcome with laziness, and what is the path to at-Tawfeeq (success), and what is the way out for the one who has been enveloped by al-Hayrah (bewilderment and uncertainty)?
When he wishes to turn to Allaah, he is prevented by his desires. And if he desires to remember (his Lord), he gets subdued (i.e. distracted) by thoughts.
Consumed by desires so at times you will observe him confused, he is sober but yet inebriated enraptured
When he wishes to draw close to his beloved, his means become scattered and he continues upon abandoning and ostracising
By abandoning relatives and acquaintances - he beguiles himself (into thinking) that he will find freedom and upon it he will gain support and help
He does not increase except in confusion and fatigue. Is this how it is with them that they belittle the one who appeals to be rescued and saved?

A person must learn the supplications narrated (from the Messenger of Allaah). He must strive in making supplications during the times and places wherein supplications are answered/accepted (al-Ijaabah); for example the last third of the night, the times between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah, during the Sajdah (prostration) and at the end of the Salawaat (the five daily prayers).
In addition to that (i.e. from the cure) is al-Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness from Allaah). For indeed whoever seeks forgiveness from Allaah and turns to Him in repentance, then Allaah will grant him good provisions to enjoy and benefit from till an appointed term.
Furthermore, (from the cure is that) one must adhere to reciting the daily portion of the Adhkaar (prohpetic remembrances) at the two ends of the day (i.e in the morning and the evening), and when going to sleep. And let him be patient with what may occur to him from the obstacles and the various distractions. For indeed he will not remain long in that state except that Allaah will support and strengthen him with Rooh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself and He will write Faith in his heart.
Moreover, he must be diligent in completing the obligatory from the five daily prayers - inwardly and outwardly - since it is a pillar of the Deen.
And let his habitual practice be (reciting): 'Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah' (there is no change and no power except with Allaah’s aid). For indeed with (adhering to) it (one can) bear the heavy burdens and withstand the ordeals, and by it you will attain lofty positions (i.e. lofty ranks).
One should not get weary of supplicating (Du'aa) and requesting. For indeed a servant's supplication will be answered as long as he is not impatient and hasty - and says: "I have made Du'aa but it has not been answered." He should know that victory comes with having as-Sabr (patience and perseverance), and that alleviation comes along with the calamity, and with every hardship there is ease.
And all praise is for Allaah the Lord of the 'Aalameen.

Supplication is like a Sword (Weapon)
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
The supplications and at-Ta'awwadhaat (seeking refuge with Allaah) are like a weapon. And (the strength of) the weapon is (as strong) as the hand that wields it and (its strength is) not just (dependent) upon its sharpness. So whenever the sword is a perfect weapon free from having any defects, and the hand that wields it is strong, and there is no impediment/obstacle present, then with it one will wreak havoc and great destruction upon an enemy.
However, if one of these three qualities (of the weapon) is lacking and deficient, then the effectiveness (of the weapon) will also be lacking.
So if the supplication itself is corrupt, or the one making the Du'aa does not bring together his heart and tongue whilst supplicating, or there is something which prevents it from being answered, then the (intended) result (for making the Du'aa) will not be achieved.

The True Callers To Allaah
Allaah, the Most High, mentions: "Say (O Muhammad [ﷺ]): "This is my way; I invite to Allaah with sure knowledge." [Surah Yusuf: 108].
Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen rahimahullaah mentions in explanation of the above Aayah:
And Allaah says: "I invite to Allaah"; that is because the callers to Allaah are categorised into two categories:
1- The caller to Allaah.
2- The caller to others besides Allaah.
So the true caller to Allaah, the Most High, is the Mukhlis (sincere one) who wants to connect the people to Allaah, the Most High.
And the caller to other than Allaah; at times he is one who calls to his own self - He (only) calls to the truth in order to be revered and held in high esteem among the people and to be well respected (among them). And for this reason you find him becoming angry when the people do not conform and comply with what he orders with; whilst he does not become angry when they commit violations and prohibitions much greater than that. Nonetheless, he never calls to their abandonment (i.e the prohibitions).
Moreover, (the caller to other than Allaah); at times he is a caller to his Ra'ees (chief and leader) as is found in many countries where there are many scholars of misguidance from among the scholars of the states - not scholars of religion - calling to their leaders. Hence, when socialism appeared in the Arab lands, some of the scholars of misguidance sought to provide proofs for it from Aayaat and Ahaadeeth which are far from being (plausible) evidences, rather there are no proofs in them whatsoever. So they are the callers to other than Allaah.
Whoever truly calls/invites to Allaah and observes that the people flee and run away from him; then he must not despair and abandon ad-Da'wah (calling to Allaah). For indeed the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) told 'Alee (radiallaahu 'anhu): "Go to them slowly and calmly... For by Allaah! That Allaah guides through you even one man is better for you than (possessing) red camels." Meaning - that guiding one man from the Jewish tribes is better for you than (possessing) red camels.
So if a person calls to Allaah and nobody responds; then his anger should be because of the truth not being followed, not that he was not answered. So if he is angry for this reason (i.e. the truth not being followed and obeyed), then it means that he is truly calling to Allaah. And even if one single person was to respond and accept then that is sufficient. And if nobody was to respond then he has freed and absolved himself of his responsibility. And (this is the case) in the Hadeeth: "And a Prophet who had nobody with him." [Bukharee (no.5705) & Muslim (no.220)].
Then indeed it is sufficient, that from calling to the truth and warning against the Baatil (falsehood), it is made distinctly clear for people that this is the truth and this is falsehood. That is because if people (possessing knowledge) remained silent and stopped clarifying the truth, and falsehood was deemed correct and left to become established for a prolonged time; then this falsehood turns into truth and the truth into falsehood.

A Warning From Two Despicable Doubts
(Concerning The Books of Refutations & Sitting With The People Of Innovations & Reading Their Books)
The Flag-bearer of al-Jarh Wat-Ta’deel in our times, al-‘Allaamah ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee ‘Umayr al-Madkhalee (Hafidhahullaah) said:
“I advise the youth to refrain from listening to two despicable doubts:
The First Doubt:
We read the books of the people of innovations, sit with them and we take the truth and leave off the falsehood!!
This (false principle) has played - as they say - a major role in driving many of the youth into departing from the Salafee Methodology and plunging them into the arms of the people of falsehood and innovations. So this Miskeen (poor person, pauper) reads in the books of the people of innovations and is not able to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood. So he deems the truth to be falsehood and falsehood to be the truth and thus becomes misguided.
The Second Doubt:
Do not read the books of Rudood (refutations)!! The books of refutations, the books of refutations, the books of refutations.
What is meant by this is that we should read the books of innovations, and the books of attacking and maligning the Salafee Methodology and its people! And we should listen to (their) tapes, radio programmes, (other types of) media and (all of their) rumours. And we should let ourselves become instruments that are ready to accept and receive all of these things, but our eyes should not extend towards the books of refutations. Why? That is because it will expose them and reveal their faults and it will make the youth clearly see the truth.
So they say: “The books of refutations, the books of refutations, the books of refutations!” They are calling and inviting you to read the books of innovations through the doubt: “that you read (the books of innovation) and take the truth and leave off the falsehood.” So you - the poor one (al-Miskeen) - will fall victim to falsehood; that is because you are not able to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood. And you deem the truth to be falsehood and the falsehood to be the truth. And through this affair they have destroyed what cannot be enumerated except by Allaah of those who used to ascribe themselves to the Salafee Manhaj.
So these are from their plots and machinations by way of which they turn you away from being firm and steadfast upon the truth, and from calling to the truth and opposing the falsehood. So the books of refutations are filled with knowledge, and you will not find a living and dynamic knowledge that distinguishes between the truth and falsehood except in the books of refutations.
The Qur’an - by Allaah - refutes the people of unbelief, the people of misguidance, the hypocrites, the Jews and the Christians. And the Qur’an does not leave any misguidance except that it criticized it, refuted it and explained its misguidance. And this is the same with the Sunnah, and the Methodology of the Salaf is full (of the same); the books of creed, the books of al-Jarh wat-Ta’deel (The Disparagement and Commendation of narrators) are all full of criticism and refutation of the people of innovations. That is because it is not possible to make a distinction between the truth and falsehood except by way of this criticism and these refutations.
So read the books of Ibn Taymiyyah, the books of Ibn al-Qayyim and the books of the Salafi (scholars) in our contemporary times who fight - if Allaah Wills - in the path of Allaah, they battle in defence of the call to Allaah, they protect the Muslim youth from the Fitan (trials and tribulations), they clarify for them the correct Islamic path from the misguided paths, and they unveil and expose the faults of the leaders of innovations and misguidance.
(Concerning The Books of Refutations & Sitting With The People Of Innovations & Reading Their Books)
The Flag-bearer of al-Jarh Wat-Ta’deel in our times, al-‘Allaamah ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee ‘Umayr al-Madkhalee (Hafidhahullaah) said:
“I advise the youth to refrain from listening to two despicable doubts:
The First Doubt:
We read the books of the people of innovations, sit with them and we take the truth and leave off the falsehood!!
This (false principle) has played - as they say - a major role in driving many of the youth into departing from the Salafee Methodology and plunging them into the arms of the people of falsehood and innovations. So this Miskeen (poor person, pauper) reads in the books of the people of innovations and is not able to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood. So he deems the truth to be falsehood and falsehood to be the truth and thus becomes misguided.
The Second Doubt:
Do not read the books of Rudood (refutations)!! The books of refutations, the books of refutations, the books of refutations.
What is meant by this is that we should read the books of innovations, and the books of attacking and maligning the Salafee Methodology and its people! And we should listen to (their) tapes, radio programmes, (other types of) media and (all of their) rumours. And we should let ourselves become instruments that are ready to accept and receive all of these things, but our eyes should not extend towards the books of refutations. Why? That is because it will expose them and reveal their faults and it will make the youth clearly see the truth.
So they say: “The books of refutations, the books of refutations, the books of refutations!” They are calling and inviting you to read the books of innovations through the doubt: “that you read (the books of innovation) and take the truth and leave off the falsehood.” So you - the poor one (al-Miskeen) - will fall victim to falsehood; that is because you are not able to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood. And you deem the truth to be falsehood and the falsehood to be the truth. And through this affair they have destroyed what cannot be enumerated except by Allaah of those who used to ascribe themselves to the Salafee Manhaj.
So these are from their plots and machinations by way of which they turn you away from being firm and steadfast upon the truth, and from calling to the truth and opposing the falsehood. So the books of refutations are filled with knowledge, and you will not find a living and dynamic knowledge that distinguishes between the truth and falsehood except in the books of refutations.
The Qur’an - by Allaah - refutes the people of unbelief, the people of misguidance, the hypocrites, the Jews and the Christians. And the Qur’an does not leave any misguidance except that it criticized it, refuted it and explained its misguidance. And this is the same with the Sunnah, and the Methodology of the Salaf is full (of the same); the books of creed, the books of al-Jarh wat-Ta’deel (The Disparagement and Commendation of narrators) are all full of criticism and refutation of the people of innovations. That is because it is not possible to make a distinction between the truth and falsehood except by way of this criticism and these refutations.
So read the books of Ibn Taymiyyah, the books of Ibn al-Qayyim and the books of the Salafi (scholars) in our contemporary times who fight - if Allaah Wills - in the path of Allaah, they battle in defence of the call to Allaah, they protect the Muslim youth from the Fitan (trials and tribulations), they clarify for them the correct Islamic path from the misguided paths, and they unveil and expose the faults of the leaders of innovations and misguidance.

So know what they intend by waging war against the books of refutations. Seek knowledge, expend efforts in seeking knowledge, and strive hard and exert yourself in seeking it. And from that which will help you in understanding the correct knowledge are the books of refutations. For indeed they are an important part of seeking knowledge. And the one who does not know the books of refutations, even if he has memorised what he has memorised from knowledge then he - may Allaah Bless you - is upon a quaky and unsteady stance.
We have seen many from those who had knowledge then they fell into misguidance. Do not forget the story of ‘Abdur-Razzaaq (as-San’aanee d. 211H), al-Bayhaqee (d. 458H) and Aboo Dharr al-Harawee (d. 434H) - and they were from among the Kibar (major) scholars. So one doubt can lead a person into the arms of the people of innovations – and we seek refuge with Allaah. ‘Abdur-Razzaaq (was led astray) by one who was lesser than him in knowledge, he did not cease to tempt and put him to trial until he made him fall into something from at-Tashayyu’ (Shia’ism). Aboo Dharr was led astray by a statement that he had heard - the praise of ad-Daaraqutnee for one of the Imaams of the al-Ash’arees and so he fell into misguidance. Al-Bayhaqee was deceived by some of the Imaams of misguidance and he fell into al-‘Ash’ariyyah and many others besides them.
And as for our times, then it is not possible to count and enumerate those who were upon the Sunnah - whether he was a scholar or a student of knowledge - then he deviated due to a single doubt, or many doubts, or due to methods and machinations that the enemies employ in order to take them away from the true Manhaj (way) of Allaah, rather, they turn them into soldiers fighting the Salafee Manhaj and its people.

An Advice For The People Of Palestine
By The Muhaddith, al-‘Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah)
And to the Palestinian people in specific; it is obligatory upon this people to know that Palestine was not conquered except through Islaam at the hands of the Farooq (the distinguisher) of Islaam[1] and his Islamic armies that distinguished the truth from the falsehood (al-Farooqiyyah). Palestine will never be liberated from the defilement of the Jews except with the true Islaam that conquered it at the hands of al-Farooq.
You have indeed fought many times and struggled much; and I do not know of a people that have been patient as you have been, however, many from among you are not upon the same ‘Aqeedah (Belief, Creed) of al-Farooq and his Manhaj (methodology). If your Jihaad is established upon this (i.e. true ‘Aqeedah and Manhaj) then your problem would be solved and you would attain triumph and victory (over your enemies). Therefore, it is incumbent upon you to correct and establish your ‘Aqeedah, your Manhaj and your Jihaad in accordance to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (ﷺ), and that you should hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Quran), and not be divided among yourselves. You must do all of this with earnestness and Ikhlaas (sincerity) in all your Masjids, schools and universities. And you must believe Allaah in all of that (i.e. that which He has promised), In-sha-Allaah, in actualising and achieving a strong and powerful victory over the brothers of apes and swine.
Indeed there is for the people of Shaam (Levant) a truthful and sincere promise upon the tongue of the truthful and the believed one (ﷺ) with victory over the Jews and the Christians. So get to working hard and striving (upon the true Islaam) so that He fulfils His promise to you, and without that, you will not attain except disappointment and utter loss.
So, by Allaah! The mediations and intervention by America and the United Nations will not be of any benefit to you nor will the repugnant nationalism and patriotism (benefit you). Therefore, make haste! Make haste in taking the means to this true and powerful victory. For indeed you have been sufficed by many experiences that have not availed you (in the past) and it will never avail you in anything whatsoever (in the future). And do not be likened to (the one about whom) it is said:
“Akin to yellowish white camels in the desert killed by severe thirst… whilst carrying water laden on their backs.
O Allaah grant this Ummah the affair of being rightly guided by which your Awliyaa (allies) are given honour and your enemies are debased and humiliated.
O Allaah, raise high Your Word, grant honour to your religion and grant honour to the Muslims with it (i.e. the religion).
O Allaah, seize them by their forelocks to Yourself and to it (i.e. humiliation and punishment in the Hellfire). Indeed You are the All-Hearer of supplication.
