Mostly overlooked Hadith and verses and their wisdom

[talibilm]

....أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ


translating the above , Praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray there is none to guide him, and I bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, He is One, having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger.

warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu, Dear Brothers & Sisters in Islam,

This thread is dedicated for those Hadith & also verses of Quran which our Muslim Ummah normally overlooks (in my humble opinion) OR forgets to implement which will be very necessary for ours success in the both the worlds. Though such things can be in TONS so avoid the general topics that are discussed everywhere and try to remind the Overlooked points from Hadith & Noble Quran. Prophet :saws: had said something like that giving knowledge is an act of Virtues of Jaariya or forever ie we will be getting its virtues even after our death when its passed on and on to others that was started from us.

KINDLY do not make this thread a hadith book because there are 10,000's of Hadiths about various incidents, instructions,histories etc etc etc but Kindly post ONLY those hadith that are really overlooked (in your opinion), forgotten and a source to provoke thought & inspiration or wisdom..

Try to make a headline or topic specifying which lesson can be inferred or learned from your posts or leave a note at the end or both, .Jazakallah khair and know that '' its your duty to share '' the known knowledge of such with your Brethren as in the last haj sermon of your beloved Prophet :saws: below

"O People. Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefor listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.....

....................................................................................................................................................................................
......................................................................................................................................................................................

... I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah (Hadith), and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listened to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people''




Wassalam .Lets start with the first one ....



.
CONSTANCY or steadfastness in Amal or Actions ( isthiqamah)

Abu Salih reported that Sayyidah Aisha (RA) and Sayyidah Umm Salamah were asked, “Which deed was dearest to Allah’s Messenger (SAW). They said, “That which is done constantly even if it is little.”
[Ahmed 25494, Bukhari 43, Muslim 785, Nisai 5050, Ibn e Majah 4238]



Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 76 :: Hadith 471
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "Do good deeds properly,sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah's is the most regular and constant even though it were little."



Muslim :: Book 39 : Hadith 6770
A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) used to say: Observe moderation (in doing deeds), and if you fail to observe it perfectly, try to do as much as you can do (to live up to this ideal of moderation) and be happy for none would be able to get into Paradise because of his deeds alone. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Allah's Messenger, not even thou? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in His Mercy, and bear this in mind that the deed loved most by Allah is one which is done constantly even though it is insignificant.



Note: I 've seen friends going deep in religion but after a year leaving it almost of it citing time shortages and other Concerns. So you can pray at least the Fard Salah but Always & constantly than overburdening with most of all nafl and leaving all the prayers all together later. So we should aim to practise untill death inshallah.

Hadith on Gratitude:

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.”



(Source: Shu’ab al-Imān 9575)

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغُلِكَ وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ​

Avoiding the Doubtful things

On the authority of Abu 'Abdullah al-Nu'man bin Bashir (ra) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allahsaws say:

"The halal is clear and the haram is clear, and between them are matters unclear that are unknown to most people. Whoever is wary of these unclear matters has absolved his religion and Honour. And whoever indulges in them has indulged in the haram. It is like a shepherd who herds his sheep too close to preserved sanctuary, and they will eventually graze in it. Every king has a sanctuary, and the sanctuary of Allah is what He has made haram. There lies within the body a piece of flesh. If it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is corrupted, the whole body is corrupted. Verily this piece is the heart."

(Bukhari & (Muslim)

Note : This can be a troublesome issue to some on some matters of grey Area. How do we solve it ? inshallah from further hadiths that should give us a lead inshallah


Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Ask yourself for a decision, ask your heart for a decision (saying it three times.) Righteousness is that with which the soul is tranquil and the heart is tranquil, but sin is that which rouses suspicion in the soul and is perplexing in the breast, even if people give you a decision in its favour.” [Mishkat]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Leave that which causes you doubt for that which does not cause you doubt.” [Tirmidhi]


Note: Its been 1400 years after the Noble Quran , Hadith, Sahabas, Tabieens & Tabe -Tabieens in whose ijmas we can trust 100 % as Prophet :saws: had guaranteed about them but though we can still trust the Scholars but when an issue arises out of Doubt its THE BEST IS TO AVOID THEM IF YOU NEED & LOVE PIETY or Thakwa but I have to accept it , Its a matter of difficulty & Courage but if you do SO you will feel the sweetness of Your Imaan and your Duas will be accepted, in Short you are on the path to become a Muhmin. matters of Halal cut food, Interest or Riba etc may come under this Topic, For shafis matter of keeping 'Beard' may come under this is it a Wajib or A sunnah muakadha. So avoid '' THE GREY AREA "


An Example here from Sahabas itself

ABOUT SLAVE WOMEN

Bashir ibn Ka’ab recited the verse: “Walk in its (the earth’s) manaakib” {Surah Mulk:15} Then he asked his slave-girl: ‘If you know what is ‘its manaakib’ then you are free for the sake of Allah.’ She answered: ‘Its manaakib is its mountains.’ It was as though his face changed colour due to anger. He desired (to keep her and have intercourse with) her, so he asked the scholars (concerning the ruling of permissibility of intercourse with her). Some permitted it while others prohibited it. So he asked Abu Dardaa ( raa) and he replied: ‘Good is contentment and sin is doubt. Leave that which puts you in doubt for that which does not.’ So he (Bashir) left her.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith6.265 Narrated by Abu Said AlKhudri


The Prophet (saws) said,

"On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, 'O Adam!' Prophet Adam (a.s.)will reply, 'Labbaik my Lord, and Sa'daik.' (I respond to Your Calls, I am obedient to Your Orders), Then there will be a loud call (saying), 'Allah orders you to take out from among your offsprings the portion of the (Hell) Fire.' Adam (a.s.) will say, 'O Lord! What is the portion of the (Hell) Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of each thousand, take out 999."

Then Prophet Mohammad(saws) recited the Verse of the Quran (22:2):

The Day ye shall see it every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-babe and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.

Substantiating on the above hadith (sister @OmAbdullah )
Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 430

Abu Sa'id reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah, the High and Glorious, would say: O Adam I and he would say: At Thy service, at thy beck and call, O Lord, and the good is in Thy Hand. Allah would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He (Adam) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said: They are out of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is at this juncture that every child would become white-haired and every pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a state of intoxication, and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous will be the torment of Allah. He (the narrator) said: This had a very depressing effect upon them (upon the companions of the Holy Prophet) and they said: Messenger of Allah, who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)? He said: Good tidings for you, Yajuj Majuj would be those thousands (who would be the denizens of Hell) and a person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He (the narrator) further reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is thy life, I hope that you would constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and we glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: BY Him in Whose Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and Glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I hope that you would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the people is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on the foreleg of an ass.





GREAT VIRTUES OF ESTABLISHING A SUNNAH [Abu Dawud 4341, Ibn e Majah 4014]

Abu Umayyah Sha’bani narrated: I went to Abu Tha’labah Khushani and asked him what he said about this verse. He asked, “Which verse?” said: "O you who believe! Guard your own souls. He who has gone astray cannot harm you, if you are rightly guided." (5 : 105) He said,‘Know that I had asked the well- knowing, I had asked Allah’s Messenger (SAW) about it. He said, ‘Enjoin righteousness and forbid evil till you see that a miser is being obeyed, base desires are pursued, the world is preferred to the Hereafter and everybody goes by his own opinion. Then, it is incumbent on you to think of yourself and leave others alone, for, days await you when patience would be like handling burning coal. In such times, one who abides by the sunnah will be given reward like fifty men’s (today)’.”

Abdullah Ibn Mubarak said that narrators other than Utbah added this portion: Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah(SAW) , is the reward of fifty men like us or like them?” He said, “No, rather reward of fifty men of you.”[Abu Dawud 4341, Ibn e Majah 4014]



NOTE: Its best & safe to follow the sunnah particularly in matters of Deen and ibadha since once we leave sunnah we enter the area of biddah which would lead us to hell.. Some follow only on the external of dress code but have forgot internal sunnah of humility, mercy and forgiving. kind words etc the traits of Prophet :saws: through which Islam spread..

Wa alaykum asslaam.



I had read the hadeeth in the book Ar-Raqaa-iq. It was given with full explanation. There was no mentioning of the yaajooj wa majooj.
The sahaabah became very depressed. They didn’t say :” Messenger of Allah, who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)”?


Rather they said: “who will be that fortunate one among us who will be admitted to Paradise”?


I remember the meaning of the saying of the sahaabah rAa from the Ar-Raqaa-iq book but I don,t remember their exact words. so I wrote the saying of the sahaabah rAa in my own words, may Allah forgive me for any mistake).


Common sense accepts the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] statement true because the hadeeth didn’t say about one out of one thousand going to Hell, rather the hadeeth says that only one out of a thousand will go to Paradise. So they were all very upset and the Prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam said those words about the dwellers of paradise for their satisfaction.He salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam also said that there will be 120 rows of the dwellers of Paradise and out of them 80 rows will be from His Ummah (That means that the dwellers of paradise will be 2/3[SUP]rd[/SUP] from this Muslim Ummah. And Allah knows the best.


The Ar-Raqaa-iq also mentioned in the explanation the hadeeth that from every 100 one will go to Paradise and explained it as: This hadeeth is about the Muslims. Thus from the Muslims one person will be admitted to paradise and 99 will go to Hell.


Both of these hadeeth inform that the situation will be very hard. And this is very true as is proved by the verses of the Holy Quraan. The Prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam, then read the verse of the surah Al-Hajj (22:2) Its translation given above is wrong in the beginning.

The correct translation is:

The Day ye shall see it every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-babe and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.


verse 22:2 prove clearly the hardness of the Last Day.


Regarding the Hadeeth about Yajooj wa Majooj:


This hadeeth is wrongly attached here to lessen the severity of the Day of Accounting and to make the present Muslims careless about their Accounting. This is done to make the present Muslims fearless about the Resurrection and Hell.

Please think sincerely with a neutral mind on the following explanation:


1. The hadeeth is about all mankind including Muslims, kaafirs, Mushrikeen (polytheists), atheists, munafiqeen etc. Remember that Allah will say to Adam alaihi salaam to take out from his offspring the portion of Hell and obviously, his offspring include all kind of people. Now if Yajooj Majooj are 999:1 of the mankind and according to the hadeeth 999 out of each 1000 will be the yajooj wa Majooj who will go to Hell. Then it means all human beings including Muslims, and non-Muslims will go to paradise. But this is not true.



2. With this statement about Yajooj wa Majooj, the hadeeth of 99 out of each 100 going to Hell cannot be explained.


3. We know that the companions of the Prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam were great Muslims. None of the people from this Ummah can be like them. Many of them were given the glad tidings in this life of being from the dwellers of Paradise. They had struggled for the sake of Islam as much as man can do. So they were surprised that if from among them one will go to Paradise and 999 to Hell, then what more could they do to reach that high level! But the hadeeth gives an average of the whole mankind existing and passing life at all times. So the Prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam gave them satisfaction. It is possible that all of them go to Paradise and in proportion to each one of them 999 from other generations will go to Hell. Especially consider our era. It seems like thousands or more will go to Hell. So we must think about our fate and must struggle hard to succeed. We should not get deluded /deceived with the thought that the hadeeth of that terrifying situation has come to us only to inform us that only the yajooj wa Majooj are the dwellers of the Fire of Hell and all human beings are immune and safe from Hell. This will be a grave deception to all mankind!

 

[OmAbdullah]

You should ponder on the following verses of the surah Al-Israa (surah Bani-Israa-eel), here is their translation and some exp.notes:


(17:13) And every human's (deeds determining his) fate We have tied up to his neck.[SUP]14[/SUP] On the Day of Resurrection We shall produce for him his scroll in the shape of a wide open book, (saying):


(17:14) "Read your scroll; this Day you suffice to take account of yourself.



The sense of the book of deeds tied to the neck means that one’s book of deeds stays with the doer no matter where or in whatever condition one is. What he or she does continues to get recorded there. When death comes the “book” is closed and set aside safely. After that when the Last Day comes, on the Day of Judgment, this book of deeds will be placed in everyone’s hand in order that he/she will himself/ herself read it and also decide whether he/she deserves reward or punishment.

It has been reported from Qataadah rAT that on that Day even an illiterate person will be able to read his book of deeds. On this occasion Al-Isbahaani has reported on the authority of Sayyidina Abu Umamah rAa that the Holy Prophet (Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Qiyaamah, when the book of deeds belonging to people will be given in their hands, someone will notice that some of his good deeds were not recorded there. He will tell his Lord about the particular deeds missing from there. His Lord will tell him that He had erased those deeds for he used to speak ill of people on their backs. (Mazhari).
( Tafseer of the verses 13 &14 of Surah bani-Isra-eel from the Ma’ariful Quraan at tafheem.net)
*************************************************************************************************************

verse 18:


(17:18) If anyone desires immediate benefits,[SUP]19[/SUP] We hasten to grant whatever benefits We will in the present life to whomsoever We please, but thereafter We decree for him Hell where in he shall burn, condemned and rejected.[SUP]20[/SUP]


Exp. note19 and 20 (from understanding Quraan on tafheem.net:


19. The Arabic word ajilah literally means something which can be had immediately, but the Quran employs it as a term for “this world” which yields its advantages and results in this worldly life. Its antonym is Akhirat (Hereafter) which will yield its advantages and results after death in the life of the next world.



20. The person who does not believe in the life of the Hereafter deserves Hell, because he strives only for the successes and good things of this world and his endeavors are confined to material objects. Consequently, such a person becomes a mere worshiper of this world and adopts wrong conduct, for he has no sense of personal responsibility and accountability to God and ultimately deserves the torment of Hell.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************

verse 19:


(17:19) But he who desires the Hereafter and strives for it in the manner he should, and is a true believer, his striving will come to fruition.[SUP]21[/SUP]

21. Whose effort shall be appreciated, he will be rewarded for the efforts he had made for success in the Hereafter.

MAKING THE FOLLOWING OF ISLAM EASY AND AVOIDING EXTREMISM

Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 52 :: Hadith 275
Narrated Abu Burda: That his father said, "The Prophet sent Mu'adh and Abu Musa to Yemen telling them. 'Treat the people with ease and don't be hard on them; give them glad tidings and don't fill them with aversion; and love each other, and don't differ."


Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 38
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights." (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page 102, Vol 1).



Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 362
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As: This Verse:

'Verily We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a witness, as a bringer of glad tidingsand as a warner.' (48.8)

Which is in the Qur'an, appears in the Surah thus: 'Verily We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a witness, as a bringer of glad tidingsand as a warner, and as a protector for the illiterates (i.e., the Arabs.) You are my slave and My Apostle, and I have named you Al-Mutawakkil (one who depends upon Allah). You are neither hard-hearted nor of fierce character, nor one who shouts in the markets. You do not return evil for evil, but excuse and forgive. Allah will not take you unto Him till He guides through you a crocked (curved) nation on the right path by causing them to say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah." With such a statement He will cause to open blind eyes, deaf ears and hardened hearts.'



Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 971
'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) drew aside the curtain and his head was bandaged on account of illness in which he died. He said: O Allah, have I not delivered (Thy Message)? (He repeated it) three times. Nothing has been left out of the glad tidings of apostle hood, but good vision. which a pious servant (of Allah) sees or someone else is made to see for him. He then narrated like the hadith transmitted by Sufyan.





AL QADR or DESTINY, DECREE


Muslim :: Book 33 : Hadith 6400
'Ali reported that one day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said: There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: Allah's Messenger. then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny ? Thereupon he said. No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse:" Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (92:5xcii. 5-10).

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 444
Narrated 'Ali: " We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi-I-Gharqad. The Prophet came to us and sat and we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping the ground with it. He then said, "There is none among you, and not a created soul, but has place either in Paradise or in Hell assigned for him and it is also determined for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched." A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should we not depend on what has been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person?" The Prophet said, "The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the wretched." Then he recited the Verses:-- "As for him who gives (in charity) and is Allah-fearing And believes in the Best reward from Allah. " (92.5-6)


Malik :: Book 46 : Hadith 46.1.4
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Sad from Amr ibn Muslim that Tawus al-Yamani said, "I found some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying 'Everything is by decree.' " Tawus added, "I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say that The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. said, 'Everything is by decree - even incapacity and ability,' (or 'ability and incapacity')."


Divine Will (Al-Qadar)

Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 77 :: Hadith 611

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.




This is a topic is where Prophet

WARNED his Sahabas from indulging into deep discussion, contemplation about Al Qadr warning that it will lead to disbelief and loosing eeman since believing in Al Qadr is a branch of articles of Eeman.

The ONLY way we could console ourselves is that to realise that we humans could never understand certain things which are out of our Human Mind's reach like How Allah came into existence ? , How Allah 's Galaxies are for infinity and expanding ? and also such as The Soul . Since in spite of 10,000 folds of developments scientists cannot solve this puzzle unanimously untill now after an open challenge by the Noble Quran before 1400 years itself in the below verse 17:85

'' And they ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: "The Ruh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little."

So when we can't even solve the mystery of the spirit which is the most nearest to us as every human lives with it, ( the difference between ourselves our dead is the Soul) then how are we going to solve about decree , Al Qadr that is far from us or not felt and seen ?

But we believe Allah is as per his attribute , The Adil, The Just .


Al Qadr is a BLESSING OF ALLAH AR RAHMAN.
The Noble Quran actually proves us that Allah's mentioning about the decree or Qadr is a blessing in disguise for us humans since there is no need for Allah swt to mention it to us at all . So its only the Kindness and Mercifulness of Allah swt on us by mentioning of the the decree or Qadr he is written because its in human Nature to put our blames on something else to console ourselves from our failures, setbacks . So Allah has given a chance for that - Now you can blame it on Qadr so that you do not TOO UPSET or broken .or become boastful because we know an atom of pride will NOT make us enter Paradise , Subhanallah So Qadr is the Wisdom of our Creator and for our consolation which is being CLEARLY ELUCIDATED by the below verse of the Noble Quran
http://legacy.quran.com/57/22-23

''No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah. In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you. And Allah likes not prideful boasters.''



Note : Many hadiths had stressed us to follow Moderation , a middle path as even in the glorious quran between the fear of Allah's punishment and hope of Allah's Mercy . as seen during the last moments of a sahaba when Prophet :saws: visited him . Similar was the situation for even Caliphas like Umar :RA: But Loosing hope on Allah's mercy is the trait of a Mushrik (Quran)

 

[talibilm]

IBLIS'S FIRST & TOPMOST TARGET IS DISSENSION


Muslim :: Book 39 : Hadith 6756
Jabir reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upqn him) said: The Satan sends detachments of his own in order to put people to trial and the highest in rank, in his eyes, is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension.




DESTROYER

(Spoiling the relationship (between people) is the destroyer.) Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi also recorded this Hadith, and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih''.


Near similar hadith below is Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4273; al-Tirmidhi, 2433. classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. (Islamqa)

It was narrated that Abu’l-Darda’ (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Shall I not tell you something that is better than the status of (voluntary) fasting, prayer and charity?” They said: “Yes.” He said:“Reconciling in a case of discord, for the evil of discord is the shaver.” Al-Tirmidhi said: It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is the shaver, and I do not say that it shaves hair, but that it shaves (i.e., destroys) religious commitment.”



Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 4901
Narrated AbudDarda':
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Shall I not inform you of something more excellent in degree than fasting, prayer and almsgiving (sadaqah)? The people replied: Yes, Prophet of Allah! He said: It is putting things right between people, spoiling them is the SHAVER(destructive).




Muslim :: Book 32 : Hadith 6222

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The gates of Paradise are not opened but on two days, Monday and Thursday. and then every servant (of Allah) is granted pardon who does not associate anything with Allah except the person in whose (heart) there is rancour against his brother. And it would be said: Look towards both of them until there is reconciliationr look toward both of them until there is reconciliation look towards both of them until there is reconciliation. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Suhail who narrated it on the authority of his father with the chain of transmitters of MaIik, but with this variation of wording:, (Those would not be granted pardon) who bycott each other."


(Should I tell you what is better than the grade of fasting, praying and Sadaqah) They said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger!'' He said,(Bringing reconciliation between people.) ( HADITH probably Mishkat )


PROPHET SAWS ENGAGED IN RECONCILIATION TO THE EXTENT OF RISKING HIS FARD SALAH

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 22 :: Hadith 293

Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
The Prophet went out to affect a reconciliation between the tribes of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf and the time of the prayer became due; Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The Prophet is detained. Will you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, if you wish." So Bilal pronounced the Iqama and Abu Bakr led the prayer. In the meantime the Prophet came crossing the rows (of the praying people) till he stood in the first row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr never looked hither and thither during the prayer but when the people clapped too much, he looked back and saw the Prophet in the (first) row. The Prophet waved him to remain at his place, but Abu Bakr raised both his hands and sent praises to Allah and then retreated and the Prophet went forward and led the prayer. (See Hadith No. 295 & 296)





AVOID FROM DIVIDING OURSELVES INTO SECTS

SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 4, Book 56, Number 803 :
Narrated by Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman
The people used to ask Allah's Apostle about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear that it might overtake me. Once I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We were in ignorance and in evil and Allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there by any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I asked, "Will there be good after that evil?" He said, "Yes, but it would be tained with Dakhan (i.e. Little evil)." I asked, "What will its Dakhan be?" He said, "There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them." I said, "Will there by any evil after that good?" He said, "Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Describe those people to us." He said, "They will belong to us and speak our language" I asked, "What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?" He said, "Adhere to the group of Muslims and their Chief." I asked, "If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?" He said, "Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state."

Interdiction on Monastic life

Bukhaari reports that a group of the Companions radi-yallaho anhum came to know that the prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam used to stand in the worship of Allah the whole night and due to long standing his ankles got swollen. They said: We are no match in piety to the prophet of Allah whose past and future sins have been forgiven by Allah.


The Companions rAa decided to do more struggle for their forgiveness. Thus one of them said: “I will fast continuously all the days of my life without break.”


The second in the company said: “I will not sleep but keep vigil all nights of my life in prayers.”

The 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] one vowed: “I will keep off women and never marry in life”.


When the Holy Prophet (Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) came to know about their intentions, he made them aware of their mistaken views and said: I am certainly more aware of Allah (and His pleasure) than you and I fear Him far more than you do. Still I do both in turns----keep vigil at nights and have sleep. Likewise, I keep (nafal/ extra/ more than obligatory) fasts on some days and miss them on others in turns. I also marry and take wives. So anyone who deviates from my way is not of me.
************************************************************************************************


The above quoted tradition clearly declares that monastic life has no place in Islam. The reason being that withdrawal from the normal activities of life is contrary to the basic laws of human nature. But while engaging themselves in the multifarious activities of life they must remain in the fear/awe of their Creator in all the moments of life. Piety does not mean retiring to monasteries and caves for the worship of the Supreme Lord Allah. That was the way of monks belonging to the pre-Islamic era. So it is declared that there is no place for monastic life in Islam.
***********************************************************************************************


Now my question is that: when clear ahaadeeth and/or clear verses about the Hardness and severity of the Day of Resurrection are brought forth for the mankind to fear that hard Day and take heed before death, why are attempts made to make the Accountability look a light thing to mankind?


Then many ambiguous mixed statements are presented to make people bold and brave for the following of their lustful desires. And that lack of the fear of Allah’s Punishment take them to Hell!


I read in the Ma’ariful Hadeeth that Allah’s Massenger Muhammad sall Allaho alaihi wa sallam’s main struggle was to put the fear of Allah in the hearts of the Muslims. That was the reason that the Companions sacrificed everything for Allah’s pleasure and still they feared their Accounting. But now the things are quite opposite. Some Muslims are showing great sympathy to their brothers and sisters by making the Accounting and Judgment day very light. But this action is against that of our Prophet (Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) and is a deceit to the fellow Muslims.


See, some bring the hadeeth that the one in whose heart eemaan will be equal to an atom, he will be taken out of Hell on the interceding of our Prophet (Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him). By such hadeeth, the reader forgets to realize that he /she will be in the depth of Hell continuously when finally his /her sins will be cleaned by the burning in the Hell-Fire and then by the permission of Allah, the Prophet (Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) will intercede for him/her and thus he/she all black burnt will be taken out of the Hell Fire. Then is this good or to know here clearly about the calamities of that Day and to struggle hard for one’s protection?

Based on the above information, I will, Insha-Allah, post the verses and ahaadeeth about the severe punishment in the life after death to help people protect themselves.

AL QADR or DESTINY, DECREE


Muslim :: Book 33 : Hadith 6400
'Ali reported that one day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said: There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: Allah's Messenger. then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny ? Thereupon he said. No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse:" Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (92:5xcii. 5-10).

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 444
Narrated 'Ali: " We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi-I-Gharqad. The Prophet came to us and sat and we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping the ground with it. He then said, "There is none among you, and not a created soul, but has place either in Paradise or in Hell assigned for him and it is also determined for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched." A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should we not depend on what has been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person?" The Prophet said, "The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the wretched." Then he recited the Verses:-- "As for him who gives (in charity) and is Allah-fearing And believes in the Best reward from Allah. " (92.5-6)


Malik :: Book 46 : Hadith 46.1.4
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Sad from Amr ibn Muslim that Tawus al-Yamani said, "I found some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying 'Everything is by decree.' " Tawus added, "I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say that The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. said, 'Everything is by decree - even incapacity and ability,' (or 'ability and incapacity')."


Divine Will (Al-Qadar)
Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 77 :: Hadith 611

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.




This is a topic is where Prophet WARNED his Sahabas from indulging into deep discussion, contemplation about Al Qadr warning that it will lead to disbelief and loosing eeman since believing in Al Qadr is a branch of articles of Eeman.

The ONLY way we could console ourselves is that to realise that we humans could never understand certain things which are out of our Human Mind's reach like How Allah came into existence ? , How Allah 's Galaxies are for infinity and expanding ? and also such as The Soul . Since in spite of 10,000 folds of developments scientists cannot solve this puzzle unanimously untill now after an open challenge by the Noble Quran before 1400 years itself in the below verse 17:85

'' And they ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: "The Ruh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little."

So when we can't even solve the mystery of the spirit which is the most nearest to us as every human lives with it, ( the difference between ourselves our dead is the Soul) then how are we going to solve about decree , Al Qadr that is far from us or not felt and seen ? But we believe Allah is as per his attribute , The Adil, The Just .


Al Qadr is a BLESSING OF ALLAH AR RAHMAN.
The Noble Quran actually proves us that Allah's mentioning about the decree or Qadr is a blessing in disguise for us humans since there is no need for Allah swt to mention it to us at all . So its only the Kindness and Mercifulness of Allah swt on us by mentioning of the the decree or Qadr he is written because its in human Nature to put our blames on something else to console ourselves from our failures, setbacks . So Allah has given a chance for that - Now you can blame it on Qadr so that you do not TOO UPSET or broken .or become boastful because we know an atom of pride will NOT make us enter Paradise , Subhanallah So Qadr is the Wisdom of our Creator and for our consolation which is being CLEARLY ELUCIDATED by the below verse of the Noble Quran

[url]http://legacy.quran.com/57/22-23[/URL]

''No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah. In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you. And Allah likes not prideful boasters.''



Note : Many hadiths had stressed us to follow Moderation , a middle path as even in the glorious quran between the fear of Allah's punishment and hope of Allah's Mercy . as seen during the last moments of a sahaba when Prophet

visited him . Similar was the situation for even Caliphas like Umar :RA: But Loosing hope on Allah's mercy is the trait of a Mushrik (Quran)

Assalaamo alaykum


Please see the saheeh (correct/true ahadeeth):


1. hadith : everyone of you have place in jannah & hell both!



"There is not one among you who does not have two places, a place in Paradise and a place in Hell. If one dies and enters Hell, then (other) people of Paradise will inherit (occupy) his place, and this is what Allah said: 'these are indeed the heirs.' (Quran 23:10)''

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 4341, Classified as Sahih by Albani)


''They will inherit their own dwellings (in Paradise) and the dwellings of their brothers (in humanity) for whom the dwellings were prepared (and they would have owned these) if had they obeyed Allah.''

(Mustadrak al-Hakim, Hadith 3845, al-Hakim classified it as Sahih, ad-Dhahabi agreed with him)



"None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in the Hell-Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the Hell-Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that may be a cause of sorrow for him."

(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8 :: Book 76 :: Hadith 573)

*************************************************************************************************


Now a just and wise Muslim can imagine that by a false/wrong hadeeth, how much loss is possible! Imagine the wrong effects of and the losses that can happen due to the ahaadeeth in the previous post quoted here. The bad effects may be:


1. Many people will take wrong meaning of Al-Qadar (destity) and thus will consider Allah Subhaanahoo wa Ta’ala an Unjust Lord (na’oodhubi-Allah min dhalik). This will wrong their faiths and the sin will go to the writer of that post as well as to the inventor of the false hadeeth.


2. Those who invented and passed on this wrong hadeeth will suffer terrible torment in Hell. Even if they repent to Allah, still if any reader got astray with such hadeeth, the responsibility will go to the shoulders of the inventors and conveyors.


Therefore, I sincerely advise the Muslim brothers and sisters to be very careful in the matter of Hadeeth. If you only try to understand the Holy Quraan, Insha-Allah, you will get wisdom to differentiate a false hadeeth from a true one.


[In my next post, insha-Allah I will write something about Al-Qadar (The Destiny)].

@OmAbdullah​

wrwb, Sister

Jazakallah for your postings here and sharing your Allah's given knowledge . We are eagerly waiting to learn from your post of Al Qadr with daleel is most welcome because this is a topic where we need a little understanding since too much understanding is impossible since there are hadith that during the last days even the believers will overlook Al qadr.

But such matters of difference of opinions are better in a separate thread ( co operating not to derail this thread from its objectives ) since there are Difference of Opinions right from the times of Sahaba as I had mentioned about Slave girl hadith (post # 3 here ) which is a matter of grey Area. So please DO proceed with your post about Particularly about al qadr (only) here with daleel which is of utmost importance to all us Muslims. But we do not have suspicion on the attribute of '' Al Adil ot The Just '' of Allah . When we can believe Allah does not have an origin we can also believe Allah decreed but still Allah is Just and Allah likes them who is pleased with his Qadr . Our eeman is with the UNSEEN and so its not necessary having it be proved or reasoned in every aspect of it.

Other Members are also encouraged to post such over looked hadith, which is seen missing untill now

jazakallah khair



PS

And also kindly substantiate on your below quote (your own quote from above post)

Now a just and wise Muslim can imagine that by a false/wrong hadeeth, how much loss is possible! Imagine the wrong effects of and the losses that can happen due to the ahaadeeth in the previous post quoted here. The bad effects may be:

If you find any mowdhu or a mistake in hadiths its your responsibility to disclose it and we are using MOSTLY Sahih Bukhari and Muslim (90%) to avoid such confusion. Nor We do not bring our own opinions of a hadith

 

[OmAbdullah]

Belief in the divine destiny, the good and the evil thereof:


To have faith in the Divine destiny means to believe that Allah Ta’ala , in His infinite wisdom willed that there be in the universe abiding laws, enduring principles, and a foolproof system wherein each effect is linked to a cause. Whatever happens wherever in the universe is within the foreknowledge of Allah Azza wa Jall. This Divine Knowledge should not, however, be supposed to dictate the actions of man who is free to do what he likes and as he likes, for God has created him and bestowed upon him reason and intellect to ponder and reflect. God (Allah Ta’ala) has also given him the freedom to choose and decide for himself. He has therefore been made accountable for doing things that fall within his powers and exempted him from answering for things and happenings beyond his control. Thus, anyone believing in the existence of a Divine design in his destiny shall discern (recognize/determine) the Creator’s prudential (sensible/wise) plan in the entire universe whose true dimensions man may never be able to know. Such a believing man will, therefore, never indulge in self-pity or despair in misfortune nor will he gloat over his good fortune or withhold its fruits from others.


Those among men, however, who have no true faith in the Divine nature of Destiny, only worship God with eye on worldly benefits. So, if they fall on evil days, begin to lament and cry and stop worshipping their Creator, the All-Mighty God:

Allah said in surah Al-Hajj verse 11, Its translation is:


(22:11) And among people is he who worships Allah on the borderline; if any good befalls him, he is satisfied with it; but if a trial afflicts him, he utterly turns away. He will incur the loss of this world and the Hereafter. That indeed is the manifest loss.


A believer who has faith in Divine Destiny is not overwhelmed by despair in a misfortune nor gloats or exults over his achievements or successes, for he knows only too well that:



22. No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy -

[h=2]23. So that you may not despair over whatever (good) has escaped you and nor exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not love a conceited or boastful person.[/h][SUB][SUP]
[/SUP][/SUB][(Surah Al-Hadeed verses 22---23 (translation only)]
***********************************************************************************************


Faith in destiny in this particular sense brings into being a level-headed, balanced man who will use his intellect and free-will judiciously, make all the necessary effort to achieve an objective and seek the result from Allah. He will know and understand the laws governing mans’ fate or destiny and act appropriately. Sickness of body or the outbreak of an epidemic to him is a part of Divine Decree. And the measures taken to fight that sickness or epidemic are also the dictates of that Decree. In other words, a believer in the Divine Decree or Destiny will run away from Allah’s Decree of sickness or epidemic to His Decree of treatment and recovery. Hunger is a Divine Decree and one’s striving to earn bread and subdue hunger too is a part of that Decree. Thus a believer in the Divine nature of Destiny fights the incidents of hunger Decreed by Allah by taking necessary measures to satisfy that hunger, also under the ordinances of Allah.


There is no sanction in Islam for shirking (avoiding) work or slackening one’s effort under the plea of pre-destination. Nor is there any justification for suspending one’s better reason and taking unbridled freedom or liberty in behavior and conduct under the mistaken notion of free-will.


Viewed from this point of view, a believer sees an element of good in anything and everything, favorable or unfavorable that happens to him in life, as so succinctly (concisely /neatly) expressed by the Holy prophet (salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam):



Strange are the ways of the faithful. There is good for him in every circumstance. And this phenomena is particular to him and to no one else. If happiness comes to him, he gives his thanks to Allah which turns out to his good; but if a misfortune befalls him, he bears it with forbearance and patience which also turns out to his good. (Al-Bukhari)
*****************************************************************************************************


It must be pointed out here that the terms “good” and “bad” used in the context of fate or destiny are relative, for what a person sees as good for himself may sometimes turn out to be bad for him, and vice versa.

The Quran says:


“….. It may be that you hate a thing and it is good for you, and it also may be that you love a thing and it is bad for you. Allah knows whereas you know not… .”

(Al Baqarah V.216)
*********************************************************************************************


A man with a limited vision, however, sees evil in anything that conflicts with his supposed interests and desires, even though, there may be good in it for humanity at large. Similarly, he sees good in anything that satisfies his desires and ego, though it be harmful and evil for the rest of the world.


It is clear from the preceding arguments or discussion that it is essential part of a Muslim’s faith that he believe in the Divine Destiny, the good and the evil thereof, and conduct his actions and behavior in accordance with that belief.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


I have taken the above statement from the book "Essentials of Islam". The verses and ahaadeeth are, of course, from the Holy Quran and the Hadeeth books respectively. The Book Al-eemaan has also given great details on this topic but that is in Arabic and I need time to translate it.


In the light of the Holy Quraan and Sunnah as well as such good books, I give the following points:


One can never say that he committed a crime because it was destined for him. This will be a manifest attack on the Justice (Adal) of Allah. For example, a man commits theft. First he makes intention, and then plans it. Finally he commits it. Allah didn’t order him to do crimes. Allah will surely open the ways of lawful rizq (sustinance) and bring chances of guidance before him. But he rejects all those ways and methods and insists on committing theft. So Allah All-Mighty will not forcefully prevent him from committing that crime. This is Allah’s Decree and His Ordinances. Allah Ta’ala has given him intellect and understanding. Allah has given freedom of choice to all mankind to choose the right way or Satanic way as they like. Allah sent down the guidance of Islam and informed him of the punishment for crimes and evil deeds as well as of the blessing of Paradise for those choosing the right path. Then if someone chooses the way of crimes and commits theft, Allah will not force him to stop from the crime. But, as you know, he (the thief) cannot do the crime without the Mashiyyat of Allah, that means if Allah doesn’t want, he cannot do it. This is because even a leaf in a tree cannot move without the will of Allah. So the Mashiyyat of Allah may let a thief to commit theft because he (the thief) chose that wrong way.

The ahaadeeth in my previous post clearly informed that Allah has kept two places for every person, one place in Paradise and the other in Hell and gave free will to everyone to choose whatever he/she wants. So there is no compulsion on anyone to choose the way to Hell. But people are themselves responsible for their choice of evil deeds and evil ways.

Al Qadr was one of the toughest part of eeman to accept when i was in my teens (as even seen from the Questions of Sahaba themselves & Prophet :saws: told not to indulge in too much discussion of it since it will lead to disbelief) but after 5 decades of life I beleive Al Qadr in its entirety , alhamdulilah . Which is more than what is said in the above post. that's why we have to be very vigilant from shaitan dragging us into a territory (debate) where we could utter some words of disbelief-kuffar.


The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman)

Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 6


''It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Ask me (about matters pertaining to religion), but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) were too much overawed out of profound respect for him to ask him (anything). In the meanwhile a man came there, and sat near his knees and said: Messenger of Allah, what al-lslam is? -to which he (the Holy Prophet) replied: You must not associate anything with Allah, and establish prayer, pay the poor-rate (Zakat) and observe (the fasts) of Ramadan. He said: You (have) told the truth. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what al-Iman (the faith) is? He (the Holy Prophet) said: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Apostles, and that you believe in Resurrection and that you believe in Qadr (Divine Decree) in all its entirety He (the inquirer) said: You (have) told the truth. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what al-Ihsan is? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Al-Ihsan implies) that you fear Allah as if you are seeing Him, and though you see Him not, verily He is seeing you. He (the inquirer) said: You (have) told the truth. He (the inquirer) said: When there would be the hour (of Doom)? (Upon this) he (the HolyProphet said: The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer himself. I, however, narrate some of its signs (and these are): when you see a slave (woman) giving birth to her master - that is one of the signs of (Doom) ; when you see barefooted, naked, deaf and dumb (ignorant and foolish persons) as the rulers of the earth - that is one of the signs of the Doom. And when you see the shepherds of black camels exult in buildings - that is one of the signs of Doom. The (Doom) is one of the five things (wrapped) in the unseen. No one knows them except Allah. Then (the Holy Prophet) recited (the following verse):" Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn on tomorrow and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the person stood up an (made his way). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for, but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) could not find him. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you (things pertaining to religion) when you did not ask (them yourselves).''


Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 62 :: Hadith 13 Narrated Abu Huraira: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a young man and I am afraid that I may commit illegal sexual intercourse and I cannot afford to marry." He kept silent, and then repeated my question once again, but he kept silent. I said the same (for the third time) and he remained silent. Then repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then the Prophet said, "O Abu Huraira! The pen has dried after writing what you are going to confront. So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or not."


NOTE: As i have been reitterating believe in al qadr though we could not understand say, like the origin of Allah, the soul etc as certain issues are out of Human' mind 's reach but believe Allah is as his attribute Al Adl,The Just . To sum up I believe Allah has placed everything in its right place . for more see post # 8 in this thread





Allah did not force anything on any body iow there is freedom for man to choose his path , if he wants to force eeman on people Allah could have done this 26:4

'' If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.''

I ve seen some kafirs with top amals which made me feel how wonder Allah did not give them eemaan !! ?
But some time later they act so ungrateful or do some amal which made me feel, yes, they deserved to be kafirs, Allahu aalam . So Allah, The All wise, The Adil is not unjust and Allah has put every human at his deserved place (hell or heaven) which is being proved on this Earth which is nothing but a test to humans to prove themselves..

GLORIOUS QURAN & HADITHS WILL HAVE DEEP MEANING

Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 1062
Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hlm) said: I have been given superiority over the other prophets in six respects: I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror (in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me: the earth has been made for me clean and a place of worship; I have been sent to all mankind and the line of prophets is closed with me.


Note: Allah has told us in the glorious Quran to ponder over his Creations so that we understand Allah's All MIGHT & greatness, so we are allowed to think on such subjects on our own only about such verses and videos like this can prove this fact, watch for multiple meanings that were all applicable perfectly during their respective ages and understood by various persons differently but still the TRUTH (like in embryology etc) is the true EVER LIVING Miracle of Noble Quran to exist UNTILL LAST DAYS OF THE WORLD (see the below hadith) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxArwQtC1AY

But for other verses about history, incidents, commandments etc referring to the TAFSIR is The MUST and is the right way to understand them which is clearly explained in the below thread.

http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthrea...by-Apologetics



SAHIH BUKHARI Book #92 , Hadith #379 Quran

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "There was no prophet among the prophets but was given MIRACLES because of which people had security or had belief, but what I was given was the Divine Inspiration which Allah revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will be more than those of any other prophet on the Day of Resurrection."

Note : the underlined words implies that the Noble Quran is a living Miracle (as security mentioned above in hadith) for EVER even after the demise of Prophet

unlike other Miracles given to other Prophets that concluded with their demise..

HOW ALLAH'S TESTS ARE A BLESSING AND A ADZAAB (A MISFORTUNE) AND WHY ?


7:163. And ask them (O Muhammad SAW) about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel (see the Qur'ân: V.4:154).

7:168. And We have broken them (i.e. the Jews) up into various separate groups on the earth, some of them are righteous and some are away from that. And We tried them with good (blessings) and evil (calamities) in order that they might turn (to Allâh's Obedience).






ALLAH NEVER MISGUIDES UNTIL HE HAS SHOWN TO YOU THE RIGHT PATH (but you followed other's paths and your own whims fancies )


115. And Allâh will never lead a people astray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them as to what they should avoid. Verily, Allâh is the All-Knower of everything.


NOTE: So capitalise on it when Allah shows you the right path

THE GLORIOUS QURAN STRESSING SAYING OF SALAM


4:86 '' When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally.Certainly, Allah is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things.''



24:61 '' .............................................................................But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allâh (i.e. say: As-Salâmu 'Alaikum - peace be on you) blessed and good. Thus Allâh makes clear the Ayât (these Verses or your religious symbols and signs, etc.) to you that you may understand. ''




[Ahmed 10630, Bukhari 6231, Muslim 2160, Abu Dawud 5198]
Sayyidina Abu Huraira (RA) reported on the authority of the Prophet (SAW) that salaam should be offered by the rider to the pedestrian, the pedestrian to the one who is seated, and a fewer number to a larger group. And, Ibn Muthanna added in his hadith: And the young should salute the old.


It was reported that Abu Hurayrah said “When one of you joins a gathering, let him say salaam. When he wants to get up and leave, let him say salaam. The former is not more important than the latter.” (Hasan hadith reported in Jami` al-Tirmidhi)

Note : reply of salam by anyone in the gathering is sufficient.

Asalamalaikum wr wb,

WHAT ARE THOSE SIGNS & PROOFS OF ALLAH ??


Glorious Quran 10:6 '' Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day and in all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for those people who keep their duty to Allah, and fear Him much.''


NOTE: I Realised, I understood VERY LESS about those signs, proofs about Allah's greatest Might in the changing of night and day until I saw this video of what-if.com series, what could happen if night never ends !! Consequences are not a few but so much that nothing will be left on the half of earth turning it to another planet like Venus without even a drop of even SEA water & other half too will freeze even ending up in the same

Subhanallah watch the Mightiest superb planning of Allah and see hundreds of consequences even if one of that plans that Allah, Al Hakim Al Qaalik has planned & fixed is Changed, our Earth can become dead as planet Venus

PROTECTING OURSELVES FROM HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

Malik :: Book 50 : Hadith 50.7.18
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Bukayr ibn Abdullah ibn al-Ashajj from Ibn Atiya that the Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no contagion, no hama and no serpent in a hungry belly. However, the possessor of sick livestock must not stop at the same place as the possessor of healthy livestock, but the possessor of healthy livestock may stop wherever he wishes."They said, "Messenger of Allah, Why is that?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It is harmful."



Muslim :: Book 26 : Hadith 5510
Abu Salama h. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is no transitive disease,but he is also reported to have said: A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Abu Salama said that Abu Huraira used to narrate these two (different ahadith) from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), but afterwards Abu Huraira became silent on these words:" There is no transitive disease," but he stuck to this that the sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Harith b. Abu Dhubab (and he was the first cousin of Abu Huraira) said: Abu Huraira, I used to hear from you that you narrated to us along with this hadith and the other one also (there is no transitive disease), but now you observe silence about it. You used to say that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Huraira denied having any knowledge of that, but he said that the sick camel should not be taken to the healthy one. Harith, however, did not agree with him, which irritated Abu Huraira and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian language. He said to Harith: Do you know what I said to you? He said: No. Abu Huraira said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Huraira in fact used to report Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know whether Abu Huraira has forgotten it or he deemed it an abrogated statement in the light of the other one.



Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 71 :: Hadith 626
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amir 'Umar went to Shamand when he reached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had broken out in Sham. 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf told him that Allah's Apostle said, "If you hear that it (plague) has broken out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaksout in a land where you are present, do not go out escaping from it."


NOTE: there were a few hadith saying something like there is no Contagion but that seems to have been abrogated (refer to my thread Is Abrogation a Contradiction ? in comparative religion sec ) by the later ones. This last last action of Khalifa Umar R A affirms that real pandemic areas we should not enter or those living there should not run from it ( great words of wisdom from Allah which could spread the pandemic as seen now in case of this most dangerous Corono Virus or Covid -19.) hadith also adds like whoever sticks to or stays in his place with yakeen or belief in his pandemic ridden city ( i think imo effected to a great extent deing in 10000s like a plague iow not a very few infected ones please check with a high graded Mufti and we know muftis fatwas can change according to different cities and situation ) and dies with it , is a martyr.
