Korede and his epic failure. It’s funny how korede accuses everyone for
copy and pasting from the net, yet he himself borrows from scam Shamoun and
acts like he wrote it himself. Take for example his recent post.

The post above “written by Korede” is actually borrowed from scan
shamoun’s website. Scam Shamoun is korede’s mentor, a mentor whom korede forgot
to give credits to.
Jabir b. Samura reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: The people who lift their eyes towards the sky in Prayer should avoid it
or they would lose their eyesight.
Abu Huraira reported: People should avoid lifting their eyes towards the
sky while supplicating in prayer, otherwise their eyes would be snatched away.
Narrated by Anas bin Malik
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, "What is wrong with those people who look towards the sky during the prayer?" His talk grew stern while delivering this speech and he said, "They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer); otherwise their eye-sight would be taken away."
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 12, Hadith no. 717)

(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 12, Hadith no. 717)
Now concerning these hadiths, it’s natural
one has to consult with actual Hadith Scholars who have studied with full
understanding. Here are a few Quotes from Scholars of Islam. Scholars have
explained this Hadith clearly.
Concerning the prohibition on the worshipper lifting
his gaze to heaven, there is the report that was narrated by al-Bukhaari (750)
from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “What is the matter with
people who lift their gaze to heaven whilst praying?” And he spoke sternly
concerning that, until he said: “They should stop that, or else their eyesight
will be snatched away”
The reason for that is that lifting the gaze whilst praying
is contrary to proper focus (khushoo‘), and it exposes the worshipper to the
risk of being distracted by what he sees.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy
on him) said: Because lifting the gaze to heaven is contrary to proper focus (khushoo‘),
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that it is haraam
and warned against it.
End quote from al-Qawaa’id an-Nooraaniyyah,
p. 46
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon
him) said: The words “and lifting his gaze to heaven” mean it is makrooh
(disliked) to lift one’s gaze to heaven whilst praying, whether that is when
one is reciting, or when one is bowing, or when one is rising from bowing, or
at any stage in the prayer, based on both evidence and reasoning. With regard
to the evidence, that is because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: “People should stop lifting their gaze to heaven whilst
praying, or else their eyesight will be snatched away.” In other words, either
they should stop or this punishment will be inflicted on them, which is that
their eyesight will be snatched away, and will not be given back to them. The
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke sternly concerning
this matter. … With regard to reasoning, that is because this reflects bad
etiquette towards Allah, may He be exalted, because the worshipper is standing
before Allah, so he should observe proper etiquette before Him, and not lift
his head; rather he should be humble. Hence ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be
pleased with him) said that before he became Muslim, he hated the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) so much that he wished that he could
be able to kill him. But when he became Muslim, he said: I could not look
directly at him, out of awe and respect for him, and if you asked me to
describe him I would not be able to.
Hence the most correct (scholarly) view concerning
lifting the gaze to heaven whilst praying is that it is haraam, and not merely
makrooh. End quote.
Ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ (3/226).
With regard to lifting the gaze to heaven outside of
prayer, there is nothing wrong with it, because there is no evidence to suggest
that it is not allowed; rather some of the fuqaha’ were of the view that
lifting the gaze is preferable.
It says in al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (8/99):
The Shaafa‘is stated that when offering du‘aa’ (supplication) outside of
prayer, it is preferable to lift the gaze to heaven. However, al-Ghazaali said:
The one who is offering supplication should not lift his gaze to heaven. End
quote.
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said
in Sharh Muslim: al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad said: They (the scholars) differed
as to whether it is makrooh to lift the gaze to heaven when offering du‘aa’
other than during the prayer. Shurayh and others regarded it as makrooh, but
the majority regarded it as permissible. End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: It is not makrooh
to lift the gaze to heaven when offering du‘aa’, because the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) did that. This is the view of Maalik and
ash-Shaafa‘i. But it is not mustahabb. End quote.
Al-Fataawa al-Kubra (5/338)
Al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him) included a
chapter in his Saheeh entitled: Chapter on lifting the gaze to
heaven, and he quoted the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): “Do they not look at the camels, how
they are created? And at the heaven, how it is raised?” [al-Ghaashiyah 88: 17,
18]. And ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) lifted his head (and looked) to
heaven, i.e., when he died (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
What al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him) meant
here was to show that it is permissible to lift the gaze to heaven, and that
the prohibition applies only to when one is praying. The fact that it is
permissible to lift the gaze to heaven when offering du‘aa’ outside of prayer
is indicated by the report was narrated by Muslim (2055) about al-Miqdaad
(may Allah be pleased with him) who drank the drink of the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) without his knowledge. In this report it says:
then he went to the mosque and prayed. Then he came to his drink and uncovered
it, and he did not find anything in it. He looked up at the sky and I said: Now
he is praying against me and I am doomed. But he said: “O Allah, feed those who
have fed me and give drink to those who have given me to drink.”
Abu Dawood (3488) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may
Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) sitting by the Corner. He looked up at the sky and
smiled, then he said: “May Allaah curse the Jews” three times. “Allaah, may He
be exalted, forbade fat to them, but they sold it and consumed its price. When
Allaah forbids a people to eat a thing He forbids its price to them.”
Classed as saheeh by an-Nawawi in al-Majmoo‘,
and by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
To sum up: lifting the gaze to heaven when offering
du‘aa’ outside of prayer is permissible and there is nothing wrong with
it.
And Allah knows best.
taken
from Islam Q&A
------------------------
I would like to mention that in many
cases in Quran or Hadith the physical understanding is not complete/relevant.
For instance:
Indeed, the worst of living creatures
in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason. Al
Anfal - 22
Trivially this Ayah is not about the
physical conditions. We can understand the true meaning of deafand dumb here looking
the other Ayah in Quran:
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and
mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes
with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those
are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the
heedless. Al A'raf - 179
If you think you can list many similar concepts in Quran and Hadith that
when we read, we should think beyond just simple physical conditions we know,
even if the same terms are used for physical objects/conditions.
, no one would get blind, physically,
for seeing the skies, but it is only discouraged (مکروه) (namely it is better not to
do) instead it is encouraged (مستحب) to look at your prostration
position (موضع السجدة). Avoiding any discouraged
deed and committing any encouraged deed of course would have some effects on
the person, and in reverse committing any discouraged deed would have its own
bad effects.
It could even mean one losing their
eyes gradually not instantly.
------------------------------------
Lets jump to the Bible. Korede used John 17:1 to show how Jesus prayed
looking up to the sky and nothing happened. Well he borrowed it from scam Shamoun.
For starters, the Hadth is speaking of Salah did Jesus do salah or was he
supplicating. Lets say for argument sakes Jesus was praying salah and
supplicating, what makes you thing the Hadith saying would apply to Jesus?. The
Hadith was revealed to the Muslims during the time of Prophet Muhammed pbuh. The
hadith was said to the companions of Prophet Muhammed Pbuh. During the time of Jesus
Pbuh he had his own sharia, which he was following. He didn’t follow the sharia
of Islam that was brought by Prophet Muhammed Pbuh for his nation. For arguments
sake even if Jesus prayed and looked up to the sky it would of haven allowed
for his time and people. But as time went and the new Prophet arrived he
brought along a new Sharia.
Now lets take the objective position. Lets say Jesus did pray and look
up in the sky was his eyes effected? According to the Talmud we read he was
blind in on eye :
Jesus limped on one foot, was blind in one eye….. (Sanhedrin. 105a,
105b)
This explains Luke 22:63 The men who were
guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. In other words Jesus of
the Bible was beaten so bad that he lost one eye. It gets worse book of
revelation really exposes korede
His eyes were as a flame of
fire, and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. (revelation
19:12)
According to revelation Jesus had his
eyes replaced with fire, in other words his eyes were taken away. Know korede
would say revelation is not literal it’s metaphorical. Which only exposes his
understanding of the Hadith he keeps taking to be instant.
Maybe korede can explain how his so
called saviour would return with fire ball eyes. And why does the Talmud say he
was one eyed not to forget Luke 22:63 where he was beaten which would of caused
his eye damage.
How about lots wife turning into a
pillar of salt just because she looked back?
But Lot's wife looked back as she was
following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.(Genesis
19:26)
Korede has no problem when the Bible
says, she turned into a pillar of salt just by looking back. Now coming back to
the language used in the Hadith. We know the mentioning of eyes sight being
taken away does not mean immediately. It’s a warning to the believers of the
eventual consequence of one’s eye sight being taken away. This could happen gradually for the disobedience
of not following a strict command of Prophet Muhammed Pbuh.
If korede thinks this Hadith means an
immediate loss of eye sight then maybe he can explain this statement from his
God about Adam.
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."
(Genesis 2:17)
did Adam and Eve die when they eat the forbidden fruit? Did
effect take place instantly when they eat the fruit? Is korede going to tell us it was a literal death
rather metaphorical, when Yahweh explicitly says “when you eat from it you will
certainly die." (Genesis 2:17). You cant have the cake and eat it. Either
Yahweh lied and satan spoke the truth which is it?
