Q and A
Is there bad luck in anything?
It is commonly known that there is misfortune in three things, in a woman, an animal and a house. In another hadeeth it appears that if there was such a thing as misfortune then it would have been in these three things. Hadhrat Mujaddid Alf-e-Thaani has written that misfortune has been lifted from this ummah.
Q: How does `Izraeel extract the souls of many people at one time? Q: How does `Izraeel extract many souls in one moment?
A: It is recorded in Rooh-ul-Ma`aani that there are three methods of extracting the soul and all three are proven through the Qur’aan:
(1) Sometimes Allah Ta`ala himself extracts the souls. *اهتو مۡ*ين ح*سفۡن لافيوت يﷲ(Allah Ta`ala takes away the souls at the time of death.) [39: 42].
(2) Hadhrat `Izraeel extracts the souls. Allah Ta`ala says: يلقٰفوتۡمكۡg} وم لكلمكمك بل(Say, the appointed angel will extract your soul.) [32: 11]
(3) Other angels remove the souls. Allah Ta`ala says: * ت*نۡي} % *سفن ۤۡيم*ال ظ*ةكmnلم ل ٰفو(Verily the angels will pull out the souls of the wrong doers.) [4: 97
The Slap of Moosa alyhis salaam
