ii) Adl (Justice), which to <strong>the</strong><br />

Mu'tazilah, is denying that Allah<br />

is <strong>the</strong> Creator <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

slaves. They also deny that actions<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> slaves are subject to Qadr (pre-<br />

decree). According to <strong>the</strong>m, a person is<br />

independent <strong>of</strong> Qadr <strong>and</strong> Power <strong>of</strong> Allah in<br />

his will <strong>and</strong> ability <strong>of</strong> action.<br />

iii) Wa'd wal-Wa'eed (Warning <strong>and</strong> cautioning) which in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir underst<strong>and</strong>ing is to enforce <strong>and</strong> warn that Allah nei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

accepts Shafa'ah (intercession) on behalf <strong>of</strong> someone who<br />

commits major sin, nor does He take him out <strong>of</strong> Hell-Fire.<br />

iv) Manzilah baynal-Manzilatain (state between <strong>the</strong> two<br />

states). The idea that a Muslim who commits a major sin, is in<br />

a state between Eeman <strong>and</strong> Kufr (*1) with respect to this<br />

world; <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> Hereafter, he will be in Hell-Fire eternally if<br />

he dies without repentance.<br />

v) Amr bil-Ma'ro<strong>of</strong> wa-Nahi anil-Munkar (enjoining <strong>the</strong><br />

good <strong>and</strong> forbidding <strong>the</strong> evil), which according to <strong>the</strong>m is<br />

disobedience to <strong>the</strong> ruler <strong>and</strong> raising <strong>the</strong> sword against him.<br />

2) Denial <strong>of</strong> seeing Allah in <strong>the</strong> Hereafter.<br />

(*1) It is irrational that one is nei<strong>the</strong>r a believer nor a disbeliever! Whereas Allah<br />

classifies mankind into two outright groups, “He it is Who created you, <strong>the</strong>n some <strong>of</strong><br />

you are disbelievers <strong>and</strong> some <strong>of</strong> you are believers.” [Soorah at-Taghabun (64): 2]<br />

Allah did not say that some <strong>of</strong> you are in a state between <strong>the</strong> two states!!<br />
