BENEFIT 81: WHAT IS FIRAASAH (spiritual insight)?
Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullah said:
((ูููุฑู ููููุฐููููู ุงูููููู ููู ููููุจู ุนูุจูุฏููู ููููุฑูููู ุจููู ุจููููู ุงููุญูููู ููุงููุจูุงุทููู ููุงููุญูุงููู ููุงููุนูุงุทููู ููุงูุตููุงุฏููู ููุงููููุงุฐูุจู))
โIt is a light which Allah casts in the heart of his servant, by which he distinguishes between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, the truthful and the untruthful.โ
[Madaโrij As-Saโlikiโn 2/453]
He then went on to relate some amazing incidents concerning the firaasah of his Sheikh, Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah.
He rahimahullah wrote:
โI have witnessed incredible things from the firaasah of Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him; and what I have not seen are even greater โ accounts that would need a large volume to document:
He informed his companions how the Tartars would invade Shaam, in the year 699H, how the Muslim armies would be vanquished, and how there would be no indiscriminate killing or the taking of captives in Damascus, and how the armyโs sole craving would be for wealth. All of this was before the Tartars had even decided to set-out. He then informed the public and the rulers, in the year 702H, as the Tartars were advancing on the Levant, of how they would be overcome and defeated, and how triumph and victory would be for the Muslims. He swore an oath about this over seventy times. So the people insisted, say โinshaAllah,โ to which he replied: โinshaAllah'; in the sense it will happen, not in the sense it could happen!โ... He informed me on several occasions about certain private matters I intended to do, but which I had not spoken of to anyone. He told me of major events that would take place in the future, without specifying dates. I have seen some of them happen; I await the others."
