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 />
