Quran and Sunnah - 12th Rabi al-Awwal 1433 (4th February 2012)

Narrated 'Abdullah (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The best talk (speech) is Allah's Book the Quran, and the best way is the
way of Muhammad (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), and the worst matters are
the heresies (those new things which are introduced into the religion); and
whatever you have been promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot
escape (it).

Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 382

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever does not argue when he is in the wrong will have a home built for him on the edge of Paradise. Whoever avoids it when he in the right will have a home built for him in the middle of Paradise. And whoever improves his own character, a home will be built for him in the highest part of Paradise.” [Tirmidhi]

Arguing with people is strongly discouraged in Islam. We are to state our point of view and then leave it at that. Nor are we to involve ourselves in matters that do not affect a person’s deen. Note that a person is to shun argument whether he is in the right or whether his stand is wrong. Both get houses built for them in Paradise. But since the person who knows that he is right finds it more difficult to leave the argument and let things be, he/she is promised a greater reward.

Arguing with people rarely gets anyone to change their minds. It usually only produces defensiveness and creates ill feelings between people. The issue becomes a matter of one’s ego and makes it more difficult for a person to change their stance. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) loves to have Muslims live harmoniously with each other. Try this hadith out in practice, and you will see that your relations improve with people and that you have greater peace of mind.

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “If somebody reproaches you and makes you feel ashamed of any of your defects, do not make him feel ashamed of any of his defects.” [Abu Daud]

Usually, when somebody points out one of our shortcomings, we immediately become defensive and start finding faults with them. But the advice of our beloved Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), is that we should listen quietly and evaluate what we are being told. If there is something we can improve about ourselves, it is only to our own advantage to do so. If the criticism is unjustified, then we are rewarded for our patience and good behaviour in not retaliating. The angels will take care of defending our honour. Starting a counter attack opens the door for Shaytaan to come in and take over.

Once Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu) was sitting with the Prophet (sal allahu alaihi wa sallam) when a man came and started to abuse Hazrat Abu Bakr. Hazrat Abu Bakr remained silent. Finally, he started to speak in his defence. At this point the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) got up and left. Hazrat Abu Bakr immediately went after him and inquired if he had done something wrong. Rasul Allah replied that as long as he had been silent, angels had been speaking on his behalf, but when he started to respond, the devil came and sat down next to him. As the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) could not remain seated where the devil was sitting, he left.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

I heard the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "Allah will not
deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but it will be taken
away through the death of the religious learned men with their knowledge.


Then there will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give
verdicts according to their opinions whereby they will mislead others and
go astray."

easiness' (65:7);

jazakAllah khayrun

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whenever a non-mahram man and woman meet in seclusion, Shaytaan definitely is the third one joining them.” [Tirmidhi]

What this hadith means is that Shaytaan arouses their passions and incites them to commit evil. Prevention is better than cure. Fornication and adultery rip to shreds the psychological health of society. Since the family is the building block of society, for a society to be healthy, it must have healthy families that constitute it. To prevent any situation arising which might harm the family unit, Islam nips the source of problems in the bud. A person is responsible not only for himself or herself but for the spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical well being of their children as much as it is in their control. From their children will arise many more generations. Keeping this in mind we have to do our best to provide as healthy a moral environment as we can so we are not held responsible for the destruction of future generations.

“If the breakdown of the family and female security is to be averted, only two strategies are available: firstly, members of society may be conditioned to believe that sexuality is from the devil, and should inspire feelings of guilt and distaste; or secondly, sexuality may be accepted as the loving expression of a natural human need, in which case the sexes must be separated, within reason, to avoid the risk of the temptation of weak souls and hence their unchastity.”

“Historically, the first of these two choices has been that of Christianity, while Islam has opted for the second. The modern Western attitude, in which there is both an obsession with sexuality and a casual mingling of men and women, and which has resulted in massive promiscuity (and hence infidelity, divorce, abortion and disease) does not represent an ethically coherent system.” [The Seventy-Seven Branches of Faith, translator’s note, The Quilliam Press]

Quran and Sunnah - 16th Rabi al-Awwal 1433 (8th February 2012)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

A woman came to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and said, "My
mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before performing it. Should
I perform the Hajj on her behalf?"



He said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her
behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her
debt?" She said, "Yes."



He said, "So you should pay what is for Him as
Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to Him. "

Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 418

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the inner self wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Immodesty, obscenity and any form of adutery be it of the eyes, ears, tongue or thoughts makes a hole in the heart. Through this hole leaks out eeman. So no matter how much you try to fill your heart with eeman, it will constantly flow out because of this hole. While an inappropriate thought might occur to anybody, as the Shaytaan is always trying to inspire people with these, yet it is the person who decieds whether to entertain such ideas, discussion, temptation or turn away from them.

If you are on a plateau, the more centrally you stand the safer you are. The more you get closer to the sides, the greater is the danger that you might fall off the edge. Therefore, to avoid the major form of adultery, the more we stay away from the minor forms of it, i.e. the adultery of the eyes, tongue, ears and thoughts, the safer we will be. Avoid movies that glamorize the immoral. Avoid hearing obscene talk. If an indecent thought occurs to you, seek refuge with Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) from the Shaytaan and don't entertain such thoughts.

Quran and Sunnah - 17th Rabi al-Awwal 1433 (9th February 2012)

Narrated 'Amr bin Al-'As (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

That he heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "If a judge gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his
verdict is correct (i.e. agrees with Allah and His Apostle's verdict) he
will receive a double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the
best of his knowledge and his verdict is wrong, (i.e. against that of Allah and His Apostle) even then he will get a reward."
