Bits of history
Marwan ibn Al-Hakam stood up on the Mimbar in the Masjid of Allahs Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) in Medinah and said to the Muslim public, "Indeed, Allah has chosen Yazid, the son of Muawiya, as the crown prince."; In response to him. Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) stood up to him and said "This is the Sunnah of the Roman or Persian kings. Abu Bakr and Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) never sought to have this issue a family affair such as you are doing by trying to tell us that the son of a king is also a king. We understand you as saying to us that an imposed ruler has the authority to impose a ruler."
In the Qur'an, there is a continuous stimulant for us to think, but how far can we go in utilizing the gift of thinking that Allah has given us. Is it unlimited or is it disciplined? Allah has many references in the Qur'an to the disciplining of thought
Indeed, in that there are expressions of Allahs power for people who discipline their thoughts
(Surah An-Nahl verse 12)
And they said, if we could only reason or tame our thoughts after having listened, we would have been spared the companionship of those who are enthralled by the punishment, the fire (Surah Al-Mulk verse 10-11)
Adh-Dhaat, His essence;
As-Sifaat, those words that describe Him
Al-Af'aal, what He does.
