| Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger
(Surah Al-Hujurat 49: 1) The Prohibition of making a Decision in advance of Allah and His Messenger In these Ayat, Allah the Exalted teaches His faithful servants the good manners they should observe with the Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam), which are respect, honor and esteem. Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said, O you who believe! Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger meaning, do not rush in making decisions before him, rather, follow his lead in all matters. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas, (Radhi Allahu Anhu) commented; Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger, "Do not say anything that contradicts the Qur'an and Sunnah.'' Qatadah commented, "We were told that some people used to say, `Revelation should be sent down about such and such matters,' and, `such and such practices should be rendered allowed.' Allah the Exalted disliked this attitude.'' Allah said, and have Taqwa of Allah meaning, `in what He has ordered you;' Verily, Allah is Hearing, `your statements,' Knowing. `your intentions.'
