The Biography of Uthman Ibn Affan R Dhun Noorayn

30 'UWn Ibn 'Affgn & Dhun-Nooravn
Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?"It is
only men of understanding who will remember (i .e. get a lesson
from Allih's Signs and Verses)" (Az-Zumar 39:9) - were
fulfilled in him.
'UthnGin immersed himself in the principles of Islam and
studied at the hands of the Messenger of All& &. Through the
Qur'iin, 'UMn came to know Who is the God Who must be
worshipped. The Prophet @ instilled in his heart the meanings of
these sublime verses, for he was keen to teach his companions the
correct concept of their Lord and His rights over them, knowing
that this concept would generate certainty and faith when their
souls were purified and their nature (fitrah) became somd.
'UthmMs view of Allih, the universe, life, Paradise, Hell, the
divine will and decree, the true nature of man and man's struggle
with the ShayGn were all based on the Holy Qur'ih and the
guidance of the Prophet &.
Allih is above having any shortcomings; His are the
attributes of infinite perfection. He is One, with no partner or
associate, and He has no wife or child. He, may He be glorified,
has defined this concept of 'uboodiyyah (complete servitude to
Allih) and Tawheed in the Holy ly~ur'ih.[~]
'UWn's view of the universe was based on the verses in
which Allih says:
"I Manha] ar-Rasoolfi Gharas ar-Rooh nl-Jth&i~yyah, p. 10-16
