Hadrat Abu Khizamah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated on the authority of his father, who said, “I asked the Messenger of ALLAH, “What have you to say about incantation and charms to which we resort to in relieving our pains and ailments and about medicines which we use during illness as also the devices that we employ for our protection. Do these repel the Divine Decree? The Apostle of ALLAH replied, “All these things are also by Divine Decree.” [Musnad Ahmad, Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah, Ma’arif-ul-Hadis]  Read more...

“Peace be with you, O Messanger of Allah ; pease be with you, O the best for all the creatures of Allah ; peace be with you O selected one of Allah ; peace be with you, O dear one of Allah ; peace be with you O Chief of the descendants of Adam ; peace as well as the mercy of Allah and his blessings be with you O Prophet.

Moreover, the sign of Allah being there in our lives is that come what may, first and foremost the attention goes onto Him alone. Like a child who gets hurts while playing round the avenue and cries out for his mother (although his mother is nowhere near him at the spot).

A Saying of Sayyidina Ibn Mas’ood

Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood’s saying is also cited often against taqleed:

Obviously, no one permits taqleed of this kind. His words are very clear that he does not tolerate taqleed in belief, and we have also repeated that often. But, as for taqleed of the predecessors to learn injunctions of religion, Sayyidina Ibn Mas’ood has said:
