Question

Specific term required. Muhammad Abduh objected to most attempts at obtaining shafā'a on the grounds that it is this action. It’s not prostrating, but in Sufi readings, Iblis’ love-blinded refusal to perform this act paradoxically made him perform it. (-5[1])While most Muslims read Surah al-ʾAʿrāf as referring to later performances (-5[1])of this act, al-Tabarī argued that ʾĀdam and Hawwā themselves performed it by naming a child ‘Abd al- (*) Harith. One who beautifies his prayer performs a “secret” kind of this act called al-asghar. (10[1])Critics of the Qadariya argue against their belief in free will on the basis that negation of belief in qadr is this act, which al-Wahhāb grouped into three types. (10[1])A form of this act called al asmaa was-sifaat was performed by worshippers of Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat. (10[1])For 10 points, Surah an-Nisa identifies what act, whose name comes from a word for “sharing,” as the only sin Allah will not forgive? (0[1]) ■END■
