Lesson 14 - Hadeeth 10 - Allaah Is Good And Pure

1.

How does Shyakh al Uthaymeen explain the words, "[Allaah] only accepts that which is good and pure"? (Two correct answers)

A.

This statement tells us that good and pure food is only that which is produced organically
B.

This refers to that which is good in its very nature (so alcohol is not accepted)
C.

This refers to that which has been acquired lawfully (so usury/interest is not accepted)
D.

This refers to natural hair colour (so dying hair is not permissible)
E.

This refers to non-polluting means of deriving power (so coal-burning power stations are not permissible)

Correct Answer(s)
B. This refers to that which is good in its very nature (so alcohol is not accepted)
C. This refers to that which has been acquired lawfully (so usury/interest is not accepted)

Explanation
The correct answer explains that the words "Allah only accepts that which is good and pure" refer to two aspects. Firstly, it refers to that which is good in its very nature, such as alcohol, which is not accepted. Secondly, it refers to that which has been acquired lawfully, so usury/interest is not accepted. This means that both the inherent quality and the lawful acquisition of something determine its acceptability to Allah.

What can we say about a person who eats substances that are not lawful or not lawfully acquired?

A.

He will go to the Hellfire forever because he has committed a major sin.

This was only important for the messengers. The rest of the Muslims have not been commanded with this.
D.

It might prevent his/her duaa/supplications from being answered.

Correct Answer
D. It might prevent his/her duaa/supplications from being answered.

Explanation
Eating substances that are not lawful or not lawfully acquired is considered a sin in Islam. The answer suggests that this sin might prevent the person's duaa/supplications from being answered. In Islam, it is believed that committing sins can hinder a person's prayers from being accepted by Allah. Therefore, the person who eats such substances may face the consequence of their duaa/supplications not being answered.

Wearing haram (unlawful) clothing is a reason why our duaa/supplications may not be answered.

A.

True
B.

False

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Wearing haram clothing refers to wearing clothing that is considered unlawful or forbidden in Islam. This can include clothing that is immodest, revealing, or made from forbidden materials such as silk or gold for men. According to Islamic teachings, one's appearance and clothing should be modest and in accordance with the guidelines set by Allah. If a person chooses to wear haram clothing, it may indicate a lack of obedience and righteousness, which can affect the acceptance of their supplications or prayers. Therefore, it is believed that wearing haram clothing can be a reason why our duaa/supplications may not be answered.
