بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ
الرَّحِيمِ
[In the Name of ALLAH, the
ENTIRELY MERCIFUL, the ESPECIALLY MERCIFUL]
"ALLAH - there is no deity except HIM, the
EVER-LIVING, the SUSTAINER of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes HIM
nor sleep. To HIM belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth. Who is it that can intercede with HIM except by HIS permission? HE knows
what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass
not a thing of HIS knowledge except for what HE wills. HIS Kursi extends over
the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires HIM not. And HE is the
MOST HIGH, the MOST GREAT."
Islam means submission to the Will of ALLAH [S.W.T].
Muslim means
those who submit themselves to the Will of ALLAH [S.W.T] regardless of
their race, nationality or ethnic background. Becoming a Muslim is a simple and
easy process that requires no pre-requisites. One may convert alone in privacy,
or they may do so in the presence of others.
If anyone has a
real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam
is the true religion of ALLAH [S.W.T], then, all one needs to do is pronounce
the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The “Shahada” is
the first and most important of the five pillars of Islam.
With the
pronunciation of this testimony, or “Shahada”, with sincere belief and
conviction, one enters the fold of Islam.
The Declaration of the Testimony (Shahada)
Also known as
the word of testimony or the Kalima-e-Shahaadat or Shahada. To convert /return
to Islam and become a Muslim a person needs to pronounce the below testimony
with conviction and understanding its meaning:
اَشْهَدُ
اَنْ لآَّ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَشَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَاَشَْْهَدُ اَنََّ
مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ
Pronunciation:
Ashadu
Al-Laa Ilaaha Illaal-Laahu Wahdahu Laa Sharikalaahu Wa Ashadu Anna Muhammadun
Abduhu Wa Rasuluhu
Translation:
I bear
witness that none is worthy of Worship but ALLAH, the ONE Alone, without
partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is HIS servant and
Messenger.
The first part of the testimony consists of the most important truth
that ALLAH [S.W.T] revealed: that there is nothing divine or worthy of being
Worshiped except for Almighty ALLAH [S.W.T]. ALLAH [S.W.T] states in The Holy
Qur'an:
"And WE sent not before you any Messenger except that
WE revealed to him that, "There is no deity except ME, so Worship
ME.""
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to
Worship ME.
I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them
to feed ME.
Indeed, it is ALLAH who is the [continual] PROVIDER, the
FIRM POSSESSOR OF STRENGTH."
"But they have attributed to ALLAH partners - the
jinn, while HE has created them - and have fabricated for HIM sons and
daughters. Exalted is HE and High above what they describe
[HE is] ORIGINATOR of the heavens and the earth. How could
HE have a son when HE does not have a companion and HE created all things? And
HE is, of all things, KNOWING.
That is ALLAH, your LORD; there is no deity except HIM, the
CREATOR of all things, so Worship HIM. And HE is DISPOSER of all things."
- [6:100-102] 6.Surat Al-'An`ām (The Cattle)
- سورة الأنعام
"It is not [befitting] for ALLAH to take a son;
Exalted is HE! When HE decrees an affair, HE only says to it, "Be,"
and it is."
- [19:35] 19.Surat Maryam (Mary) - سورة
مريم
"Say, "HE is ALLAH, [WHO is] ONE,
ALLAH, the ETERNAL REFUGE.
HE neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to HIM any equivalent.""
"HE is ALLAH, other than WHOM there is no deity,
KNOWER of the unseen and the witnessed. HE is the ENTIRELY MERICFUL, the
ESPECIALLY MERCIFUL.
HE is ALLAH, other than WHOM there is no deity, the
SOVERIGN, the PURE, the PERFECTION, the BESTOWER OF FAITH, the OVERSEER, the
EXALTED IN MIGHT, the COMPELLER, the SUPERIOR
HE is ALLAH, the CREATOR, the INVENTOR, the FASHIONER; to
HIM belong the best Names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is Exalting
HIM. And HE is the EXALTED IN MIGHT, the WISE."
This conveys
that all forms of Worship, whether it be praying, fasting, giving charity,
invoking, seeking refuge in, and offering an animal as sacrifice, distributing
property and so on must be directed to ALLAH [S.W.T] and to ALLAH [S.W.T]
Alone. Directing any form of Worship to other than ALLAH [S.W.T] (whether it be
an Angel, a Messenger (e.g. Adam, Noah, Abraham,
Moses, David, Jesus, Muhammad [P.B.U.T]), a saint, an idol, the fire, the sun, the moon, stars, stones, trees etc.) is seen as a contradiction to the fundamental Message of Islam,
and it is an unforgivable sin unless it is repented from before one dies. All
forms of Worship must be directed to ALLAH [S.W.T] Only.
ALLAH [S.W.T]
states about The Holy Qur'an as a best guidance to HIS Creations:
"ALLAH has sent down the best statement: a consistent
Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their
LORD; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of ALLAH. That
is the guidance of ALLAH by which HE guides whom HE wills. And one whom ALLAH
leaves astray - for him there is no guide."
"If WE had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you
would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of ALLAH . And these
examples WE present to the people that perhaps they will give thought."
And also know
this, ALLAH [S.W.T] said in The Holy Qur'an:
"Indeed, the first House [of Worship] established for
mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds."
So make your
faith and steadfast as clear and simple on ALLAH [S.W.T] as this Verse, which
HE mentioned about HIM in The Holy Qur'an:
"And with HIM are the keys of the unseen; none knows
them except HIM. And HE knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf
falls but that HE knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the
earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.
And it is HE who takes your souls by night and knows what
you have committed by day. Then HE revives you therein that a specified term
may be fulfilled. Then to HIM will be your return; then HE will inform you
about what you used to do."
- [6:59-60] 6.Surat Al-'An`ām (The Cattle)
- سورة الأنعام
ALLAH [S.W.T]
warned against those people; who are the enemies of their own souls in The Holy
Qur'an:
"And they say, "The MOST MERCIFUL has taken [for
HIMSELF] a son."
You have done an atrocious thing.
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits
open and the mountains collapse in devastation
That they attribute to the MOST MERCIFUL a son.
And it is not appropriate for the MOST MERCIFUL that HE
should take a son.
There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes
to the MOST MERCIFUL as a servant."
- [19:88-93] 19.Surat Maryam (Mary) - سورة
مريم
And there is
another type of people who thinks this worldly life is final life nothing after
that when it’s done and do not believe in the hereafter (i.e. the
Resurrection), in The Holy Qur'an, ALLAH [S.W.T] addressed them:
"O People, if you should be in doubt about the
Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, WE created you from dust, then from
a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed
and unformed - that WE may show you. And WE settle in the wombs whom WE will
for a specified term, then WE bring you out as a child, and then [WE develop
you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is
taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most
decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing.
And you see the earth barren, but when WE send down upon it rain, it quivers
and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.
That is because ALLAH is the Truth and because HE gives
life to the dead and because HE is over all things COMPETENT
And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt
about it - and that ALLAH will resurrect those in the graves."
- [22:5-7] 22.Surat Al-Ĥaj (The
Pilgrimage) - سورة الحج
In another verse
of The Holy Qur'an ALLAH [S.W.T] informed about their consequences and guides
those who fear ALLAH [S.W.T]:
"And they say, "There is none but our worldly
life, and we will not be resurrected."
If you could but see when they will be made to stand before
their LORD. HE will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say,
"Yes, by our LORD." HE will [then] say, "So taste the punishment
because you used to disbelieve."
Those will have lost who deny the meeting with ALLAH, until
when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say,
"Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it,"
while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which
they bear.
And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion;
but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear ALLAH, so will you not
reason?"
- [6:29-32] 6.Surat Al-'An`ām (The Cattle)
- سورة الأنعام
In addition,
there is another type of people; those who associates others (e.g. the sun, the moon, stars, trees, especially idols etc.) in Worship besides ALLAH [S.W.T]. In The
Holy Qur'an, ALLAH [S.W.T] clears the matter about them with an example:
"Do you not know that ALLAH knows what is in the
heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record. Indeed that, for ALLAH, is easy.
And they Worship besides ALLAH that for which HE has not
sent down authority and that of which they have no knowledge. And there will
not be for the wrongdoers any helper.
And when OUR verses are recited to them as clear evidences,
you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost
on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them OUR verses. Say, "Then
shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that? [It is] the Fire which ALLAH
has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination."
O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed,
those you invoke besides ALLAH will never create [as much as] a fly, even if
they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from
them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer
and pursued.
They have not appraised ALLAH with true appraisal. Indeed,
ALLAH is POWERFUL and EXALTED IN MIGHT."
- [22:70-74] 22.Surat Al-Ĥaj (The
Pilgrimage) - سورة الحج
"And [WE sent] Abraham, when he said to his people,
"Worship ALLAH and fear HIM. That is best for you, if you should know.
You only Worship, besides ALLAH, idols, and you produce a
falsehood. Indeed, those you Worship besides ALLAH do not possess for you [the
power of] provision. So seek from ALLAH provision and Worship HIM and be
grateful to HIM. To HIM you will be returned."
And if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations
before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty
of] clear notification."
- [29:16-18] 29.Surat Al-`Ankabūt (The
Spider) - سورة العنكبوت
"And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of ALLAH and
the meeting with HIM - those have despaired of MY mercy, and they will have a
painful punishment.
And the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they
said, "Kill him or burn him," but ALLAH saved him from the fire.
Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than
ALLAH, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the
Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your
refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers.""
"The example of those who take allies other than ALLAH
is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes
is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
Indeed, ALLAH knows whatever thing they call upon other
than HIM. And HE is the EXALTED IN MIGHT, the WISE.
And these examples WE present to the people, but none will
understand them except those of knowledge.
ALLAH Created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in
that is a sign for the believers."
And next types
of peoples are those about whom in The Holy Qur'an, ALLAH [S.W.T] said:
"And of the people are some who say, "We believe
in ALLAH," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the Cause of] ALLAH, they
consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of ALLAH. But
if victory comes from your LORD, they say, "Indeed, we were with
you." Is not ALLAH Most Knowing of what is within the breasts of all
Creatures?
And ALLAH will surely make evident those who believe, and
HE will surely make evident the hypocrites.
And those who disbelieve say to those who believe,
"Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not
carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.
But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other]
burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day
of Resurrection about what they used to invent."
- [29:10-13] 29.Surat Al-`Ankabūt (The
Spider) - سورة العنكبوت
So follow the
true guidance of ALLAH [S.W.T] which is in The Holy Qur'an:
"And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of
another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its
load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You
can only warn those who fear their LORD unseen and have established prayer. And
whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul.
And to ALLAH is the [final] destination."
- [35:18] 35.Surat Fāţir (Originator) - سورة
فاطر
Thus ALLAH
[S.W.T] said in The Holy Qur'an:
"And those who strive for US - WE will surely guide
them to OUR ways. And indeed, ALLAH is with the doers of good."
Worship means
the performance of deeds and sayings that please ALLAH [S.W.T], things that HE
commanded or encouraged to be performed, either by direct textual proof or by
analogy. Thus, Worship is not restricted to the implementation of the five
pillars of Islam, but also includes every aspect of life. Providing food for
one’s family, and saying something pleasant to cheer a person up are also
considered acts of Worship, if such is done with the intention of pleasing
ALLAH [S.W.T]. This means that, to be accepted, all acts of Worship must be
carried out sincerely for the Sake of ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone.
ALLAH [S.W.T]
advised in The Holy Qur'an:
"Say, "O MY servants who have transgressed
against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of ALLAH. Indeed,
ALLAH forgives all sins. Indeed, it is HE who is the FORGIVING, the
MERCIFUL."
And return [in repentance] to your LORD and submit to HIM
before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.
And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your
LORD before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,
Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret
over what I neglected in regard to ALLAH and that I was among the
mockers."
Or [lest] it say, "If only ALLAH had guided me, I
would have been among the righteous."
Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only
I had another turn so I could be among the doers of good."
But yes, there had come to you MY verses, but you denied
them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied
about ALLAH [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for
the arrogant?
And ALLAH will save those who feared HIM by their
attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.
ALLAH is the CREATOR of all things, and HE is, over all
things, DISPOSER OF AFFAIRS.
To HIM belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And
they who disbelieve in the verses of ALLAH - it is those who are the
losers."
- [39:53-63] 39.Surat Az-Zumar (The Troops)
- سورة الزمر
The second part of the testimony means that Prophet Muhammad
[S.A.W.S] is the servant and chosen Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]. This implies
that one should obey and follow the commands of the Prophet [S.A.W.S]. One must
believe in what he has said, practice his teachings and avoid what he has
forbidden. One must therefore Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] Only according to his
teaching alone, for all the teachings of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] were in fact
revelations and inspirations conveyed to him by ALLAH [S.W.T].
One must try to
mold their lives and character and emulate the Prophet [S.A.W.S], as he was a
living example to follow. ALLAH [S.W.T] said:
"And indeed, you are of a great moral character."
ALLAH [S.W.T]
also said:
"There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of
ALLAH an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in ALLAH and the Last Day
and [who] remembers ALLAH often."
He was sent in
order to practically implement the Qur'an, in his saying, deeds, legislation as
well as all other facts of life. Aisha (R.A), the wife of the Prophet
[S.A.W.S], when asked about the character of the Prophet [S.A.W.S], replied:
“His
character was that of the Qur'an.”
(As-Suyooti)
To truly adhere
to the second part of the Shahada is to follow his example in all walks of life.
ALLAH [S.W.T] said:
"Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love ALLAH,
then follow me, [so] ALLAH will love you and forgive you your sins. And ALLAH
is FORGIVING and MERCIFUL." "
"And WE have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a
mercy to the worlds."
"And WE have not sent you except comprehensively to
mankind as a Bringer of good tidings and a Warner. But most of the people do
not know."
- [34:28] 34.Surat Saba' (Sheba) - سورة
سبإ
"Say, "Come, I will recite what your LORD has
prohibited to you. [HE commands] that you not associate anything with HIM, and
to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; WE
will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is
apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which ALLAH
has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has HE instructed
you that you may use reason."
And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way
that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in
justice. WE do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And
when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the
covenant of ALLAH fulfill. This has HE instructed you that you may remember.
And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so
follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from HIS
way. This has HE instructed you that you may become righteous."
- [6:151-153] 6.Surat Al-'An`ām (The Cattle)
- سورة الأنعام
"Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth is Exalting ALLAH, the SOVERIGN, the PURE, the EXALTED IN MIGHT, the
WISE.
It is HE WHO has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from
themselves reciting to them HIS verses and purifying them and teaching them the
Book and wisdom - although they were before in clear error -
And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And
HE is the EXALTED IN MIGHT, the WISE.
That is the bounty of ALLAH, which HE gives to whom HE
wills, and ALLAH is the POSSESSOR OF GREAT BOUNTY."
And supplicate
to ALLAH [S.W.T] to bestow HIS Blessing and Peace upon Hadrat Muhammad
[S.A.W.S]. The believers had been advised by ALLAH [S.W.T] in The Holy Qur'an:
"Indeed, ALLAH confers Blessing upon the Prophet, and
HIS Angels [ask HIM to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ALLAH to confer]
Blessing upon him and ask [ALLAH to grant him] Peace."
"Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men,
but [he is] the Messenger of ALLAH and last of the Prophets. And ever is ALLAH,
of all things, KNOWING."
It also means
that Hadrat Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is the Final and seal of the Prophets (P.B.U.T)
and Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T], and that no (true) Prophet will come after him.
All who claim to be Prophets or receive revelation after Hadrat Muhammad
[S.A.W.S] are impostors, and to acknowledge them would be tantamount to
disbelief.
Upon entering the fold of Islam purely for the Pleasure of ALLAH [S.W.T],
all of one’s previous sins are forgiven, and one starts a new life of piety and
righteousness. When one accepts Islam, they in essence repent from the ways and
beliefs of their previous life. One need not be overburdened by sins committed
before their acceptance. The person’s record is clean, and it is as if that
person has just born from mother’s womb. One should try as much as possible to
keep his/her records clean and strive to do as many good deeds as possible. So
affirm your faith in ALLAH [S.W.T] and then remain steadfast to it and beware
from falsehood and deception.
ALLAH [S.W.T]
states in The Holy Qur'an:
"They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will
be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham,
inclining toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists."
Say, [O believers], "We have believed in ALLAH and
what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael
and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus
and what was given to the Prophets from their LORD. We make no distinction between
any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to HIM.""
"And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his
people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I
am the Messenger of ALLAH to you?" And when they deviated, ALLAH caused
their hearts to deviate. And ALLAH does not guide the defiantly disobedient
people.
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O
children of Israel, indeed I am the Messenger of ALLAH to you confirming what came
before me of At-Tawrat (i.e. the Torah) and bringing good tidings of a
Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad (i.e. Muhammad)." But when
he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious
magic."
And who is more unjust than one who invents about ALLAH
untruth while he is being invited to Islam. And ALLAH does not guide the
wrongdoing people.
They want to extinguish the Light of ALLAH with their
mouths, but ALLAH will perfect HIS Light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
It is HE WHO sent HIS Messenger with guidance and the
religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who
associate others with ALLAH dislike it."
"It is not for a human [Prophet] that ALLAH should
give him the Scripture and authority and Prophethood and then he would say to
the people, "Be servants to me rather than ALLAH ," but [instead, he
would say], "Be pious scholars of the LORD because of what you have taught
of the Scripture and because of what you have studied."
Nor could he order you to take the Angels and Prophets as
LORDS. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?
And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when ALLAH took
the covenant of the Prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the
Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a Messenger (i.e. Muhammad)
confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him."
[ALLAH] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that MY
Commitment?" They said, "We have acknowledged it." HE said,
"Then bear witness, and I am with you among the Witnesses."
And whoever turned away after that - they were the
defiantly disobedient.
So is it other than the religion of ALLAH they desire,
while to HIM have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly
or by compulsion, and to HIM they will be returned?
Say, "We have believed in ALLAH and in what was
revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the
Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the Prophets from
their LORD. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims
[submitting] to HIM."
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never
will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the
losers."
"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered
Prophet (i.e. Muhammad), whom they find written in what they have of At-Tawrat
(i.e. the Torah) and Al-Injeel (i.e. the Gospel), who enjoins upon them what is
right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things
and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the
shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported
him and followed the Light which was sent down with him - it is those who will
be the successful.
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the
Messenger of ALLAH to you all, [from HIM] to WHOM belongs the dominion of the
heavens and the earth. There is no deity except HIM; HE gives life and causes
death." So believe in ALLAH and HIS Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who
believes in ALLAH and HIS Words, and follow him that you may be guided."
"[ALLAH said], "O Messengers, eat from the good
foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am KNOWING.
And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am
your LORD, so fear ME."
But the people divided their religion among them into sects
- each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.
So leave them in their confusion for a time."
Know your worst
enemy; beware, and be sharp about it. ALLAH [S.W.T] disclosed in The Holy
Qur'an:
"And [mention] when WE said to the Angels,
"Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for iblees. He was
of the jinn and departed from the command of his LORD. Then will you take him
and his descendants as allies other than ME while they are enemies to you?
Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange."
"O mankind, remember the favor of ALLAH upon you. Is
there any Creator other than ALLAH who provides for you from the heaven and
earth? There is no deity except HIM, so how are you deluded?
And if they deny you, [O Muhammad] - already were
Messengers denied before you. And to ALLAH are returned [all] matters.
O mankind, indeed the promise of ALLAH is truth, so let not
the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about ALLAH by the deceiver.
Indeed, satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy.
He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze.
Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment, and
those who believe and do righteous deeds will have forgiveness and great
reward."
- [35:3-7] 35.Surat Fāţir (Originator) - سورة
فاطر
"And satan will say when the matter has been
concluded, "Indeed, ALLAH had promised you the promise of truth. And I
promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I
invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves.
I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny
your association of me [with ALLAH] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a
painful punishment."
Do not be one of
those who are ungrateful to ALLAH [S.W.T] and not sincere in their faith on
HIM. About whom ALLAH [S.W.T] states in The Holy Qur'an:
"And if ALLAH was to hasten for the people the evil
[they invoke] as HE hastens for them the good, their term would have been ended
for them. But WE leave the ones who do not expect the meeting with US, in their
transgression, wandering blindly.
And when affliction touches man, he calls upon US, whether
lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when WE remove from him his
affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon US to
[remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the
transgressors that which they have been doing."
- [10: 11-12] 10.Surat Yūnus (Jonah) - سورة
يونس
The Holy Qur'an and Hadith (Prophetic sayings) both stress the importance of
following Islam. ALLAH [S.W.T] states:
"ALLAH Witnesses that there is no deity except HIM,
and [so do] the Angels and those of knowledge - [that HE is] maintaining
[Creation] in justice. There is no deity except HIM, the EXALTED IN MIGHT, the
WISE.
Indeed, the religion in the Sight of ALLAH is Islam. And
those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had
come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever
disbelieves in the verses of ALLAH, then indeed, ALLAH is swift in [taking]
account."

advice, which had been revealed in The Holy Qur'an-
"O you who have believed, fear ALLAH as HE should be
feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to HIM]."
"O mankind, indeed WE have created you from male and
female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed,
the most noble of you in the Sight of ALLAH is the most righteous of you.
Indeed, ALLAH is KNOWING and ACQUAINTED."
The Prophet of
ALLAH [S.W.T], may the Peace and Blessing of ALLAH [S.W.T] be upon him, also
reported:
“Indeed ALLAH
[S.W.T] has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, 'None has the right to
be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]' for ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Sake Only.”
(Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 8: Prayers, Number 417)
So my brothers and sisters pray for all of us to ALLAH [S.W.T] to enlist us
among one of those righteous about whom ALLAH [S.W.T] said in The Holy Qur'an-
"The Messenger (i.e. Muhammad) has believed in what
was revealed to him from his LORD, and [so have] the believers. All of them
have believed in ALLAH and HIS Angels and HIS books and HIS Messengers,
[saying], "We make no distinction between any of HIS Messengers." And
they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] YOUR Forgiveness, our LORD, and
to YOU is the [final] destination.""
"And obey ALLAH and the Messenger that you may obtain
mercy.
And hasten to forgiveness from your LORD and a garden as
wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous
Who spend [in the Cause of ALLAH] during ease and hardship
and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and ALLAH loves the doers of
good;
And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong
themselves [by transgression], remember ALLAH and seek forgiveness for their
sins - and who can forgive sins except ALLAH? - and [who] do not persist in
what they have done while they know.
Those - their reward is forgiveness from their LORD and
gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide
eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers."
- [3:132-136] 3.Surat 'Āli `Imrān (Family of
Imran) - سورة آل عمران
And, let us
supplicate to ALLAH [S.W.T], the way HE taught us in The Holy Qur'an-
"Our LORD, do not impose blame upon us if we have
forgotten or erred. Our LORD, and lay not upon us a burden like that which YOU
laid upon those before us. Our LORD, and burden us not with that which we have
no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. YOU
are our PROTECTOR, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
"[All] praise is [due] to ALLAH, LORD of the worlds -
The ENTIRELY MERCIFUL, the ESPECIALLY MERCIFUL,
SOVEREIGN of the Day of Recompense.
It is YOU we Worship and YOU we ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path -
The path of those upon whom YOU have bestowed favor,
Not of those who have evoked [YOUR] anger or of those who
are astray."
“Ameen”
We welcome you
to Islam, congratulate you for your decision, and will try to help you in every
possible way we can Insha'ALLAH.
"This day those who disbelieve have despaired of
[defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear ME. This day I have
perfected for you your religion and completed MY favor upon you and have
approved for you Islam as religion."

Some Selected Hadith as Glad Tidings for You and
Your New Beginning
Sahih Muslim: Chapter 13, Book 32: Virtue, Good Manners And Joining Of The
Ties Of Relationship, Number 6246:
Abu Dharr (R.A) reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying that
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GLORIOUS, said: MY servants, I have made oppression
unlawful for ME and unlawful for you, so do not commit oppression against one another.
MY servants, all of you are liable to err except one whom I guide on the right path,
so seek right guidance from ME so that I should direct you to the right path. O
MY servants, all of you are hungry (needy) except one whom I feed, so beg food from
ME, so that I may give that to you. O MY servants, all of you are naked (need clothes)
except one whom I provide garments, so beg clothes from ME, so that I should clothe
you. O MY servants, you commit error night and day and I am there to pardon your
sins, so beg pardon from ME, so that I should grant you pardon. O MY servants, you
can neither do ME any harm nor can you do ME any good. O MY servants, even if the
first amongst you and the last amongst you and even the whole of human race of yours,
and that of jinns even, become (equal in) ALLAH [S.W.T] conscious like the heart
of a single person amongst you, nothing would add to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of the jinns too in unison become the most wicked (all beating) like the
heart of a single person, it would cause no loss to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of jinns also all stand in one plain ground and you ask ME and I confer
upon every person what he asks for, it would not in any way, cause any loss to ME
(even less) than that which is caused to the ocean by dipping the needle in it.
MY servants, these for you I shall reward you for then, so he who deeds of yours
which I am recording finds good should Praise ALLAH and he who does not find that
should not blame anyone but his ownself. Sa'id (R.A) said: That when Abu Idris Khaulini
(R.A) narrated this hadith he knelt upon his knees.
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 9, Book 93: Oneness, Uniqueness of ALLAH [S.W.T] (Tawheed), Number 501:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "When ALLAH [S.W.T]
Created the Creation, HE wrote in HIS Book--and HE wrote (that) about HIMSELF, and
it is placed with HIM on the Throne--'Verily MY Mercy overcomes MY Anger.'"
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 8, Book 75: Invocations, Number 417:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] has some Angels (P.B.U.T) who look for those who celebrate the Praises of
ALLAH [S.W.T] on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating
the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], they call each other, saying, "Come to the object
of your pursuit.'" He added, "Then the Angels (P.B.U.T) encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those
people celebrated the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], and the Angels (P.B.U.T) go back),
their LORD, asks them (those Angels (P.B.U.T)) - though HE knows better than them----'What
do MY slaves say?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'they say: Subhan ALLAH, ALLAHU Akbar,
and Alham-du-lillah, ALLAH [S.W.T] then says 'Did they see ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
reply, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], they didn't see YOU.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would
have been if they saw ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'If they saw YOU, they would
Worship YOU more devoutly and celebrate YOUR Glory more deeply, and declare YOUR
freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the
Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'What do they ask ME for?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They
ask YOU for Paradise.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'Did they see
it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.'
ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek
it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says,
'From what do they seek refuge?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They seek refuge from
the (Hell) Fire.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'Did they see it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say,
'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it
would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'If they saw it they
would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.'
Then ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'I make you witnesses that I have Forgiven them."'
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] added, "One of the Angels (P.B.U.T) would
say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.' ALLAH [S.W.T] would say, 'These are those people whose companions
will not be reduced to misery.'"

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] narrating about his LORD
and said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] ordered (the appointed Angels (P.B.U.T) over you)
that the good and the bad deeds be written, and HE then showed (the way) how (to
write). If somebody intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then ALLAH
[S.W.T] will write for him a full good deed (in his account with HIM); and if he
intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write for
him (in his account with HIM) (its reward equal) from ten to seven hundred times
to many more times: and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and he does not do
it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write a full good deed (in his account with HIM), and
if he intended to do it (a bad deed) and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will
write one bad deed (in his account)."

(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshiper
of MINE. And the most beloved things with which MY slave comes nearer to ME, is
what I have enjoined upon him; and MY slave keeps on coming closer to ME through
performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till
I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense
of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with
which he walks; and if he asks ME, I will give him, and if he asks MY Protection
(Refuge), I will Protect him; (i.e. give him MY Refuge) and I do not hesitate to
do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death,
and I hate to disappoint him."

says: 'I am just as MY slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he
thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers ME. If he remembers ME
in himself, I too, remember him in MYSELF; and if he remembers ME in a group of
people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one
span nearer to ME, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer
to ME, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to
ME walking, I go to him running.'"

Narrated Ibn 'Umar
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Your
stay (in this world) in comparison to the stay of the nations preceding you, is
like the period between 'Asr prayer and the sun set (in comparison to a whole day).
The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted on it till midday and
then they were unable to carry on. And they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirat
each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted on it till
'Asr Prayer and then they were unable to carry on, so they were given a reward equal
to) one Qirat each. Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted on it till sunset,
therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two Qirats each. On that, the people
of the Scriptures said, 'These people (Muslims) did less work than we but they took
a bigger reward.' ALLAH [S.W.T] said (to them). 'Have I done any oppression to you
as regards your rights?' They said, "No." Then ALLAH [S.W.T] said, 'That
is MY Blessing which I grant to whomsoever I Will.'"

whom ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S) become dearer than anything else.
2. Who loves a
person and he loves him Only for ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Sake.
3. Who hates to
revert to disbelief (atheism) after ALLAH [S.W.T] has brought (saved) him out
from it, as he hates to be thrown in Fire."

observed: You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief (in
all those things which are the articles of faith) and you will not believe as
long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which,
if you do, will foster love amongst you: (i.e.) give currency to (the practice
of paying salutation to one another by saying: as-salamu alaikum.

Suhaib (R.A) reported:
That ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said:
Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and
this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he
has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (ALLAH [S.W.T]), thus there is a good
for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it
patiently), there is a good for him in it.

[S.A.W.S] is ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle.

(compulsory congregational) Prayers dutifully and perfectly.

(i.e. obligatory charity).

Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 47:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
One day while the Prophet [S.A.W.S] was sitting
in the company of some people, (The Angel) Gabriel (P.B.U.H) came and asked, "What
is faith?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, 'Faith is to believe
in ALLAH [S.W.T], HIS Angels (P.B.U.T), (the) meeting with HIM, HIS Apostles (P.B.U.T),
and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?"
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone
and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat)
and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What
is Ihsan (perfection)?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To
Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] as if you see HIM, and if you cannot achieve this state of
devotion then you must consider that HE is looking at you." Then he further
asked, "When will the Hour be established?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will
inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady)
gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds
of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of
higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except ALLAH
[S.W.T]. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then recited: "Verily, with ALLAH (Alone) is
the Knowledge of the Hour--." (31.34) Then that man (Gabriel (P.B.U.H)) left
and the Prophet [S.A.W.S] asked his companions (R.A) to call him back, but they
could not see him. Then the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "That was Gabriel (P.B.U.H)
who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah (R.A) said: He
(the Prophet [S.A.W.S]) considered all that as a part of faith.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 4, Book 2: Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah), Number 0451:
'Uqba b. 'Amir (R.A)
reported:
We were entrusted with the task of tending the
camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures,
I found ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S] stand and address the people. I heard
these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays
two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing
is this! And a narrator who was before me said: The first was better than even this.
When I cast a glance, I saw that it was 'Umar (R.A) who said: I see that you have
just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes
the ablution well and then says: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH and that
Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is the servant of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, the eight gates of
Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes.
Sahih Muslim:

‘Uqba b. ‘Amir (R.A)
reported:
When we were in Suffa, the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] came out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to
Buthan or al-’Aqiq and bring two large she camels without being guilty of sin or
without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
we would like to do it. Upon this he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning
to the Mosque and teach or recite two verses from the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the
MAJESTIC and GLORIOUS? That is better for him than two she camels, and three verses
are better (than three she camels), and four verses are better for him than four
(she camels), and to on their number in camels.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 132, Book 4: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Number 1757:
Abu Umama (R.A) said
he heard:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] say: Recite
the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those
who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, Surah al-Baqara and Surah Al ‘Imran,
for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two
flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara,
for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief,
and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu’awiya (R.A) said: It has been conveyed
to me that here Batala means magicians.)
Sahih Muslim:

Ibn ‘Abbas (R.A)

That while Gabriel (P.B.U.H) was sitting with the
Apostle [S.A.W.S] he heard a creaking sound above him. He lifted his head and said:
This as a gate opened in heaven today which had never been opened before. Then when
an Angel (P.B.U.H) descended through it, he said: This is an Angel (P.B.U.H) who
came down to the earth who had never come down before. He greeted and said: Rejoice
in two lights given to you which have not been given to any Prophet (P.B.U.T) before
you: Falihat al-Kitab (1.1-7) and the concluding verses of Suarah al-Baqara (2.286).
You will never recite a letter from them for which you will not be given (a reward).

Abu’l-Mundhir (R.A), do you know the verse from the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T] which,

know best. He again said: Abu’l-Mundhir (R.A), do you know the verse from the Book

there is no god but HE, the LIVING, the ETERNAL." (Ayat Al-Kursi (2.255)) Thereupon

"I was praying." He said, "Didn't ALLAH [S.W.T] said":-
"O you who believe, give your response to ALLAH (by obeying HIM) and to
HIS Apostle." (8.24) Then he added, "Shall I tell you the most
superior Sura in the Qur'an before I go out of the Mosque?" When the
Prophet [S.A.W.S] intended to go out (of the Mosque), I reminded him and he

thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you?
Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you
live except those who would do the same. Say, "Subhan-ALLAH", "Alhamdu-lillah"

We differed and some of us said that we should say, "Subhan-ALLAH" thirty
three times and "Alhamdu lillah" thirty three times and "ALLAHU Akbar"
thirty four times. I went to the Prophet [S.A.W.S] who said, "Say, "Subhan-ALLAH"

Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan ALLAH' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdu 'illah'

[S.A.W.S], the rich have taken away (air the) reward. They observe prayer as we
do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give sadaqa out of their surplus riches.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Has ALLAH [S.W.T] not prescribed
for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration
of the Glorification of ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e. saying Subhan ALLAH) there is a sadaqa,
and every Takbir (i.e. saying ALLAHU Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every Praise of HIS
(saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a sadaqa and every declaration that HE is ONE (La illha
ill-ALLAH) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that
which is evil is a sadaqa, and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife,) there
is a sadaqa. They (the Companions (R.A)) said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell
me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his
part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.

of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection
will be the one who said, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH,' sincerely
from the bottom of his heart."

Huraira (R.A) said:
"The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said, May he be humiliated, the man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does
not send Salah upon me; may he be humiliated, the man who sees the month of Ramadan
come and go, and he is not forgiven; may he be humiliated, the man whose parents
live to old age and they do not cause him to be granted admittance to Paradise."

[S.W.T] to) send blessings on you, the members of the family, for ALLAH [S.W.T]
has taught us how to salute you (in the prayer)?' He said, 'Say: O ALLAH! Send YOUR
Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as YOU sent YOUR Mercy on Abraham
and on the family of Abraham, for YOU are the MOST PRAISEWORTHY, the MOST GLORIOUS.

of those things."

Abu Huraira (R.A)
reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and MAJESTIC said: Every act of the son of Adam (P.B.U.H)
is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for ME and I (Alone) will
reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should
neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or if anyone reviles him
or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By HIM, in WHOSE
Hand is the life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S], the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter
to ALLAH [S.W.T] on the Day of Judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one who
fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the
breaking of (the fast) and one when he meets his LORD he is glad with his fast.

not seen and the ear has not heard and no human heart has ever perceived them. He
then recited this verse: "They forsake (their) beds, calling upon their LORD
in fear and in hope, and spend out of what WE have given them. So no soul knows
what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them; a reward for what they did"

Worshiping in the mornings, the nights."

heart is attached to the Mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the Mosque
in congregation), two persons who love each other Only for ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Sake
and they meet and part in ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Cause Only, a man who refuses the call
of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I
am afraid of ALLAH [S.W.T], a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his
left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much
he has given in charity), and a person who remembers ALLAH [S.W.T] in seclusion

fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause."

hears a fearful shriek, or a call for help, flies to it seeking death at places

whether he fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause or remains in the land where he is born."
The people said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Shall we acquaint the
people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise has one-hundred grades
which ALLAH [S.W.T] has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in HIS Cause, and the
distance between each of two grades is like the distance between the Heaven and
the Earth. So, when you ask ALLAH [S.W.T] (for something), ask for Al-Firdaus which
is the best and highest part of Paradise." (i.e. the sub-narrator added, "I
think the Prophet [S.A.W.S] also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne
of BENEFICENT (i.e. ALLAH [S.W.T]), and from it originate the rivers of Paradise .")
Sahih Muslim: Chapter 83, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0363:
It is reported on
the authority of al-Mughira b. Shu’ba (R.A):
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said:
Moses (P.B.U.H) asked his LORD: Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank? HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) said: The
person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of
Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said
to him: Enter Paradise. He would say: O my LORD! How (should I enter) while the
people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions)? It would
be said to him: Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king
amongst the kings of the world? He would say: I am pleased my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: For you is that, and like that, and like that, and like that, and that.
He would say at the fifth (point): I am well pleased, my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: It is for you and ten times like it, and for you is what your self desires
and your eye enjoys. He would say: I am well pleased, my LORD. He (Moses (P.B.U.H))
said: (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks? HE (ALLAH
[S.W.T]) said: They are those Whom I choose. I establish their Honor with MY OWN
Hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be Blessed with Bounties) which
no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived: and this is substantiated
by the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GREAT: "So no soul knows what
delight of the eye is hidden for them; a reward for what they did" (32.17).
Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 2:
Narrated 'Aisha
(R.A) (The mother of the faithful believers):
Al-Harith bin Hisham (R.A) asked ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! How is
the Divine Inspiration revealed to you?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form
of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes' off after I
have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel (P.B.U.H) comes in the form
of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha (R.A)
added: Verily I saw the Prophet [S.A.W.S] being inspired Divinely on a very
cold day and noticed the Sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration
was over).
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 3:
Narrated 'Aisha
(R.A) (The mother of the faithful believers):
The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was in the form of good dreams which came
true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon
him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to Worship
(ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone) continuously for many days before his desire to see his
family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come
back to (his wife) Khadija (R.A) to take his food like-wise again till suddenly
the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The Angel
(P.B.U.H) came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] replied,
"I do not know how to read. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "The Angel
(P.B.U.H) caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear
it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do
not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second
time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me
to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I
read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then
released me and said, 'Read in the Name of your LORD, who has Created (all that
exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your LORD is the MOST GENEROUS."
(96.1-3) Then ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] returned with the Inspiration
and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid
(R.A) and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear
was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said,
"I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija (R.A) replied,
"Never! By ALLAH [S.W.T], ALLAH [S.W.T] will never disgrace you. You keep
good relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve
your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones."
Khadija (R.A) then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin
'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to
write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew
as much as ALLAH [S.W.T] wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost
his eyesight. Khadija (R.A) said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your
nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you
seen?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (Angel Gabriel
(P.B.U.H) whom ALLAH [S.W.T] had sent to Moses (P.B.U.H). I wish I were young and
could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa
replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something
similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should
remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you
strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was
also paused for a while. Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari (R.A) while talking
about the period of pause in Revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] "While I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the
sky. I looked up and saw the same Angel (P.B.U.H) who had visited me at the
cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of
him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then ALLAH
[S.W.T] revealed the following Holy Verses (of Qur’an): 'O you (i.e. Muhammad)!
wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against ALLAH's
Punishment),... up to 'and desert the idols.' (74.1-5) After this the
Revelation started coming strongly, frequently and regularly."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 4:
Narrated Said
bin Jubair (R.A):
Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) in the explanation of the
Statement of ALLAH [S.W.T]. 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to
make haste therewith." (75.16) Said "ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] used to bear the Revelation with great trouble and used to move his
lips (quickly) with the Inspiration." Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) moved his lips
saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you as ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] used to move his." Said moved his lips saying: "I am moving
my lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) moving his." Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) added,
"So ALLAH [S.W.T] revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an)
to make haste therewith. It is for US to collect it and to give you (O
Muhammad) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an) (75.16-17) which means that
ALLAH [S.W.T] will make him (the Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remember the portion of the
Qur'an which was revealed at that time by heart and recite it. The Statement of
ALLAH [S.W.T]: And 'When WE have recited it to you (O Muhammad through Gabriel)
then you follow its (Qur'an) recital' (75.18) means 'listen to it and be
silent.' Then it is for US (ALLAH [S.W.T]) to make It clear to you' (75.19)
means 'Then it is (for ALLAH [S.W.T]) to make you recite it (and its meaning
will be clear by itself through your tongue). Afterwards, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] used to listen to Gabriel (P.B.U.H) whenever he came and
after his departure he used to recite it as Gabriel (P.B.U.H) had recited
it."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 5:
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was the most
generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the
month of Ramadan when Gabriel (P.B.U.H) met him. Gabriel (P.B.U.H) used to meet
him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] was the most generous person, even more generous than the strong
uncontrollable wind (in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).

by ALLAH [S.W.T]. And whoever indulges in any one of them (except the
ascription of partners to ALLAH [S.W.T]) and gets the punishment in this world,
that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any
of them, and ALLAH [S.W.T] conceals his sin, it is up to HIM to forgive or
punish him (in the Hereafter)." 'Ubada bin As-Samit (R.A) added: "So
we swore allegiance for these." (Points to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle

till the funeral prayer is offered and the burial ceremonies are over, he will

bin Malik (R.A):
Who was one of the Companions (R.A) of ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and one of the Ansar's who took part in the battle
of Badr: I came to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "O ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in
prayers. When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people
so I cannot go to their Mosque to lead them in prayer. O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! I wish you would come to my house and pray in it so that I could
take that place as a Musalla. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said.
"ALLAH willing, I will do so." Next day after the sun rose high,
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and Abu Bakr (R.A) came and ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked for permission to enter. I gave him permission and he
did not sit on entering the house but said to me, "Where do you like me to
pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] stood there and said, 'ALLAHU Akbar', and we all got up and aligned
behind him and offered a two-Rak'at prayer and ended it with Taslim. We
requested him to stay for a meal called "Khazira" which we had
prepared for him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of
them said, "Where is Malik bin Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?" One
of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love ALLAH [S.W.T] and
HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S]." Hearing that, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right
to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake Only?" He
said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know better. We have seen
him helping and advising hypocrites." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say,
'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake
Only."

and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said,
"May ALLAH [S.W.T] curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places
of Worship at the graves of their Prophets (P.B.U.T)." The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] was warning (Muslims) of what those had done.

Prophets (P.B.U.T) before me. These are:
1. ALLAH [S.W.T]
made me victorious by awe (by HIS frightening my enemies) for a distance of one
month's journey.
2. The earth has
been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to
perform Tayammum. Therefore, my followers can pray wherever the time of a
prayer is due.
3. The booty has
been made Halal (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else).
4. Every Prophet
(P.B.U.T) used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all
mankind.
5. I have been
given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)

wal-fadilata, wab' athhu maqaman mahmudan-il-ladhi wa' adtahu (O ALLAH! LORD of

which is going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad [S.A.W.S] the right of
intercession and superiority and send him (on the Day of Judgment) to the best

Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said,
"The reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty
five times greater than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the
market (alone). And this is because if he performs ablution and does it
perfectly and then proceeds to the Mosque with the sole intention of praying,
then for every step he takes towards the Mosque, he is upgraded one degree in
reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds).
When he offers his prayer, the Angels (P.B.U.T) keep on asking ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Blessings and ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at
his Musalla. They say, 'O ALLAH! Bestow YOUR Blessings upon him, be Merciful
and Kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long as one is waiting for
the prayer."

Huraira (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said,
"Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then
goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had
sacrificed a camel (in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause); and whoever goes in the second
hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour,
then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth
hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth
hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e.
starts delivering the Khutba), the Angels (P.B.U.T) present themselves to
listen to the Khutba."

long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers ALLAH [S.W.T], one knot
is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when
one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart
in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 23: Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz), Number 440:
Narrated Ibn
Shihab (R.A):
The funeral prayer should be offered for every
child even if he were the son of a prostitute as he was born with a true faith
of Islam (i.e. to Worship none but ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone). If his parents are
Muslims, particularly the father, even if his mother were a non-Muslim, and if
he after the delivery cries (even once) before his death (i.e. born alive) then
the funeral prayer must be offered. And if the child does not cry after his
delivery (i.e. born dead) then his funeral prayer should not be offered, and he
will be considered as a miscarriage. Abu Huraira (R.A) narrated that the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to Worship
none but ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to
Christianity or to Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do
you find it mutilated?" Then Abu Huraira (R.A) recited the holy verses:
'The pure ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Islamic nature (true faith i.e. to Worship none but
ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone), with which HE has created human beings.'" (30.30).

approached, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] went to him and found Abu Jahl
bin Hisham and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the
right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T], a sentence with which I shall be a
witness (i.e. argue) for you before ALLAH [S.W.T]. Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin
Abi Umaiya said, O Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of Abdul
Muttalib?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] kept on inviting Abu Talib to
say it (i.e. 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T] while they
(Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said
as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib and refused
to say, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T].' (Then ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "I will keep on asking ALLAH [S.W.T]'s forgiveness
for you unless I am forbidden (by ALLAH [S.W.T]) to do so." So ALLAH
[S.W.T] revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the
Prophet (P.B.U.T) and those who believe that they should invoke (ALLAH [S.W.T])
for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become
clear to them that they are companions of the fire (9.113).

intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he
has said, (e.g. if he says, 'If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is
really a Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished
with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab (R.A) the
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed
suicide, and so ALLAH [S.W.T] said: MY slave has caused death on himself
hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him."
Sahih

Narrated Ibn
Abbas (R.A):
When ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] sent
Muadh (R.A) to Yemen, he said (to him), "You are going to people of a
(Divine) Book. First of all invite them to Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] (Alone) and
when they come to know ALLAH [S.W.T], inform them that ALLAH [S.W.T] has
enjoined on them, five prayers in every day and night; and if they start
offering these prayers, inform them that ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined on them,
the Zakat. And it is to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to the
poor amongst them; and if they obey you in that, take Zakat from them and avoid
(don't take) the best property of the people as Zakat."

[S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle
[S.A.W.S]! Inform me what ALLAH [S.W.T] has made compulsory for me as regards
the prayers." He replied: "You have to offer perfectly the five
compulsory prayers in a day and night (24 hours), unless you want to pray
Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Inform me what ALLAH [S.W.T]
has made compulsory for me as regards fasting." He replied, "You have
to fast during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast more as
Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat ALLAH
[S.W.T] has enjoined on me." Thus, ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
informed him about all the rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin then
said, "By HIM WHO has honored you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor
will I decrease what ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined on me. ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] said, "If he is saying the truth, he will succeed (or he will be
granted Paradise)."

Number 505t:
Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] deputed me
to keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and started taking handfuls
of the foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said,
"By ALLAH [S.W.T], I will take you to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S]." He said, "I am needy and have many dependents, and I am
in great need." I released him, and in the morning ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] asked me, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I said,
"O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! The person complained of being needy
and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go." ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will
be coming again." I believed that he would show up again as ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] had told me that he would return. So, I waited for
him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff,
I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]. He said, "Leave me, for I am very needy and
have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again." I pitied him
and let him go. In the morning ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked me,
"What did your prisoner do." I replied, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! He complained of his great need and of too many dependents,
so I took pity on him and set him free." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
said, "Verily, he told you a lie and he will return." I waited for
him attentively for the third time, and when he (came and) started stealing
handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, "I will surely
take you to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] as it is the third time you
promise not to return, yet you break your promise and come." He said,
"(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which ALLAH [S.W.T]
will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He replied,
"Whenever you go to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha
illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do so),
ALLAH [S.W.T] will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan
will come near you till morning." So, I released him. In the morning,
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?"
I replied, "He claimed that he would teach me some words by which ALLAH
[S.W.T] will benefit me, so I let him go." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] asked, "What are they?" I replied, "He said to me,
'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the beginning to the end
---- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul-Qaiyum----.' He further said to me,
'(If you do so), ALLAH [S.W.T] will appoint a guard for you who will stay with
you, and no satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu Huraira (R.A) or
another sub-narrator) added that they (the Companions (R.A)) were very keen to
do good deeds. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "He really spoke the truth,
although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these
three nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira (R.A) said, "No." He
said, "It was satan."

me the provision which ALLAH [S.W.T] has provided me?'" Ahban (R.A) added,
"I clapped my hands and said, 'By ALLAH [S.W.T], I have never seen
anything more curious and wonderful than this!' On that the wolf said, 'There
is something (more curious) and wonderful than this; that is, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] in those palm trees, inviting people to ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e.

They are:
1. A man
possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travelers.
2. A man who
gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for worldly
benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if the ruler
withholds something from him, he gets dissatisfied.
3. And man
displayed his goods for sale after the 'Asr prayer and he said, 'By ALLAH
[S.W.T], except WHOM None has the right to be Worshiped, I have been given so
much for my goods,' and somebody believes him (and buys them)." The

given, and everyone of them wished to be given the flag. But the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] asked for 'Ali (R.A). Someone informed him that he was suffering from
eye-trouble. So, he ordered them to bring 'Ali (R.A) in front of him. Then The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] spat in his eyes and his eyes were cured immediately as if he
had never any eye-trouble. 'Ali (R.A) said, "We will fight with them (i.e.
infidels) till they become like us (i.e. Muslims)." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "Be patient, till you face them and invite them to Islam and inform

overtake me. Once I said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! We were in
ignorance and in evil and ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 tainted 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.W.T]'s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! 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 [S.W.T] while you are still in
that state."

saying, "Anybody who spends a pair of something in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause
will be called from all the gates of Paradise, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s slave!
This is good.' He who is amongst those who pray will be called from the gate of
the prayer (in Paradise) and he who is from the people of Jihad will be called
from the gate of Jihad, and he who is from those' who give in charity (i.e.
Zakat) will be called from the gate of charity, and he who is amongst those who
observe fast will be called from the gate of fasting, the gate of Raiyan."
Abu Bakr (R.A) said, "He who is called from all those gates will need
nothing," He added, "Will anyone be called from all those gates, O

Narrated Ibn
Umar (R.A):
We were talking about Hajjat-ul-Wada, while
the Prophet [S.A.W.S] was amongst us. We did not know what Hajjat-ul-Wada'
signified. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] Praised ALLAH [S.W.T] and then mentioned
Al-Masih Ad-dajjal and described him extensively, saying, "ALLAH [S.W.T]
did not send any Prophet (P.B.U.T) but that Prophet (P.B.U.T) warned his nation
of Al-Masih Ad-dajjal. Noah (P.B.U.H) and the Prophets (P.B.U.T) following him
warned (their people) of him. He will appear amongst you (O Muhammad
[S.A.W.S]'s followers), and if it happens that some of his qualities may be
hidden from you, but your LORD's State is clear to you and not hidden from you.
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said it thrice. Verily, your LORD is not blind in one
eye, while he (i.e. Ad-dajjal) is blind in the right eye, which looks like a grape
bulging out (of its cluster). No doubt! ALLAH [S.W.T] has made your blood and
your properties sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours,
in this town of yours, in this month of yours." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
added: No doubt! Haven't I conveyed ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Message to you?" They
replied, "Yes," The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said thrice, "O ALLAH
[S.W.T]! Be witness for it." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "Woe to
you!" (or said), "May ALLAH [S.W.T] be merciful to you! Do not become
infidels after me (i.e. my death) by cutting the necks (throats) of one
another."

Narrated Anas
(R.A):
'Abdullah bin Salam (R.A) heard the news of the
arrival of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] (at Medina) while he was on a farm
collecting its fruits. So he came to The Prophet [S.A.W.S] and said, "I
will ask you about three things which nobody knows unless he be a Prophet.
Firstly, what is the first portent of the Hour? What is the first meal of the
people of Paradise? And what makes a baby look like its father or mother?'. The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Just now Gabriel (P.B.U.H) has informed me about
that." 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "Gabriel (P.B.U.H.)?" The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "Yes." 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "He, among the
Angels (P.B.U.T) is the enemy of the Jews." On that The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
recited this Holy Verse:-- "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel (P.B.U.H) (let
him die in his fury!) for he has brought it (i.e. Qur'an) down to your heart by
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s permission." (2.97) Then he added, "As for the first
portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the
East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of Paradise, it will be
the caudite (i.e. extra) lobe of the fish liver. And if a man's discharge
proceeded that of the woman, then the child resembles the father, and if the
woman's discharge proceeded that of the man, then the child resembles the
mother." On hearing that, 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "I testify that None
has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T], and that you are the Apostle
of ALLAH [S.W.T], O, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]; the Jews are liars, and
if they should come to know that I have embraced Islam, they would accuse me of
being a liar." In the meantime, some Jews came (to The Prophet [S.A.W.S])
and he asked them, "What is 'Abdullah (R.A)'s status amongst you?"
They replied, "He is the best amongst us, and he is our chief and the son
of our chief." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "What would you think if
'Abdullah bin Salam (R.A) embraced Islam?" They replied, "May ALLAH
[S.W.T] protect him from this!" Then 'Abdullah (R.A) came out and said,
"I testify that none has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T] and
that Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is the Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T]." The Jews then
said, "Abdullah (R.A) is the worst of us and the son of the worst of
us," and disparaged him. On that 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "O ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! This is what I was afraid of!"

[S.A.W.S]?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied: "ALLAH (the)

along with a few followers. A Prophet (P.B.U.H) would pass by accompanied by
nobody. Then a big crowd of people passed in front of me and I asked, Who are
they? Are they my followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses (P.B.U.H) (and
his followers. It was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a
multitude of people filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there
and there about the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the
horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand
shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
entered his house without telling his companions (R.A) who they (the 70,000)
were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, "It is we
who have believed in ALLAH [S.W.T] and followed HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S];
therefore those people are either ourselves or our children who are born in the
Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance.'' When
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people
are those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or
good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterized) but
they put their trust (Only) in their LORD " On that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin
(R.A) said. "Am I one of them, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]?' The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said,

at a place where his life is jeopardized, but he has his riding beast carrying
his food and water. He then rests his head and sleeps for a short while and
wakes to find his riding beast gone. (He starts looking for it) and suffers
from severe heat and thirst or what ALLAH [S.W.T] wished (him to suffer from).
He then says, 'I will go back to my place.' He returns and sleeps again, and

people who are engaged in a talk, don't start interrupting their talk by
preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. You should rather keep
quiet, and if they ask you, then preach to them at the time when they are eager

evil?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] kept quiet for a while till we thought that

forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I

(of his question) was such. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Good never brings
forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit),
and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly
kills the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats the
Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is full
and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and
urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and

and if he intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T]

believe (in ALLAH [S.W.T]). But that will be the time when 'No good it will do
to a soul to believe then. If it believed not before.."' (6.158) The Hour
will be established (so suddenly) that two persons spreading a garment between
them will not be able to finish their bargain, nor will they be able to fold it
up. The Hour will be established while a man is carrying the milk of his
she-camel, but cannot drink it; and the Hour will be established when someone

hates to meet ALLAH [S.W.T], ALLAH [S.W.T] (too) hates to meet him".
'Aisha (R.A), or some of the wives of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "But we
dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when
the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s pleasure with him and HIS Blessings upon him, and so at that
time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves
the meeting with ALLAH [S.W.T], and ALLAH [S.W.T] (too) loves the meeting with
him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives
the evil news of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s torment and HIS Requital, whereupon nothing is
more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting
with ALLAH [S.W.T], and ALLAH [S.W.T] too, hates the meeting with him."

these four) three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and
Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham)
and Sha'ban." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then asked us, "Which month is
this?" We said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know (it)

he also said): "..and your honor) are as sacred to one another like the
sanctity of this Day of yours, in this Town of yours, in this Month of yours.
You shall meet your LORD and HE will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go
astray after me by striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon
those who are present to inform it to those who are absent for perhaps the
informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of the
present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad (R.A) mentioned that
statement, he would say, "The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said the truth.") And

entered (my place) and offered prayer at my residence and his companions (R.A)

Dukhshum not testify the fact that there is no god but ALLAH [S.W.T] and verily
I am the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]. They replied: He makes a profession of it
(no doubt) but does not do it out of (sincere) heart. He (the Holy Prophet

The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] led
the morning prayer at Hudaybiya. There were some marks of the rainfall during
the night. At the conclusion of prayer he turned towards people and observed:
Do you know what your LORD has said? They replied: ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS
Messenger know best. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remarked: HE
(ALLAH [S.W.T]) said: Some of MY bondsmen entered the morning as MY believers
and some as unbelievers. He who said: We have had a rainfall due to the
Blessing and Mercy of ALLAH [S.W.T], he is MY believer and a disbeliever of
stars, and who said: We have had a rainfall due to the rising of such and such
(star) disbelieved ME and affirmed his faith in the stars.

That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
observed: O womenfolk, you should give charity and ask much forgiveness for I
saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell. A wise lady among them said: Why
is it, Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], that our folk is in bulk in Hell?
Upon this the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] observed: You curse too much and are
ungrateful to your spouses. I have seen none lacking in common sense and
failing in religion but (at the same time) robbing the wisdom of the wise,
besides you. Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense
and with religion? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) observed: Your lack of
common sense (can be well judged from the fact) that the evidence of two women
is equal to one man, that is a proof of the lack of common sense, and you spend
some nights (and days) in which you do not offer prayer and in the month of
Ramadan (during the days) you do not observe fast, that is a failing in
religion. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Tahir (R.A)
with this chain of transmitters.

eatables (corn): What is this? He replied: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S], these have been drenched by rainfall. He (the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) remarked: Why did you not place this (the drenched part of the heap)
over other eatables so that the people could see it? He who deceives is not of
me (is not my follower).

observes: None is obliged to give votive offering (of a thing) which is not in
his possession and the cursing of a believer is tantamount to killing him, and
he who killed himself with a thing in this world would be tormented with that
(very thing) on the Day of Resurrection, and he who made a false claim to
increase (his wealth), ALLAH [S.W.T] would make no addition but that of
paucity, and he who perjured would earn the wrath of ALLAH [S.W.T].

He who performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up (for
prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be
distracted, all his previous sins are expiated. Ibn Shihab (R.A) said: Our
scholars remarked: This is the most complete of the ablutions performed for

and we if ALLAH [S.W.T] so wills, are about to join you. I love to see my
brothers. They (the hearers) said: Aren’t we your brothers-Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T]? He said: You are my Companions (R.A), and our brothers are those who
have, so far, not come into the world. They said: ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger
[S.A.W.S], how would you recognize those persons of your Ummah who have not yet
been born? He said: Suppose a man had horses with white blazes on foreheads and
legs among horses which were all black, tell me, would he not recognize his own
horses? They said: Certainly. ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S]. He said:
They would come with white faces and arms and legs owing to ablution, and I
would arrive at the Cistern before them. Some people would be driven away from
my Cistern as the stray camel is driven away. I would call out. Come, come.
Then it would be said (to me): These people changed themselves after you, and I
would say: Be off, be off.

reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] as saying:
The similitude of that guidance and knowledge with which ALLAH [S.W.T], the
EXALTED and GLORIOUS, has sent me is that of rain falling upon the earth. There
is a good piece of land which receives the rainfall (eagerly) and as a result
of it there is grown in it herbage and grass abundantly. Then there is a land
hard and barren which retains water and the people derive benefit from it and
they drink it and make the animals drink. Then there is another land which is
barren. Neither water is retained in it, nor is the grass grown in it. And that
is the similitude of the first one who develops the understanding of the
religion of ALLAH [S.W.T] and it becomes a source of benefit to him with which
ALLAH [S.W.T] sent me. (The second one is that) who acquires the knowledge of
religion and imparts it to others. (Then the other type is) one who does not
pay attention to (the revealed knowledge) and thus does not accept guidance of
ALLAH [S.W.T] with which I have been sent.

this but for one brick, and I am that brick (with which you give the finishing
touch to the building).

While a Jew was selling goods, he was given
something which he did not accept or he did not agree (to accept) that 'Abdul
'Aziz (R.A) (one of the narrators) is doubtful about it. He (the Jew) said: By
ALLAH [S.W.T], WHO chose Moses (P.B.U.H) among mankind. A person from the Ansar
heard it and gave a blow at his face saying: (You have the audacity) to say: By
HIM WHO chose Moses (P.B.U.H) amongst mankind, whereas ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] is living amongst us. The Jew went to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] and said: Abu'l-Qasim [S.A.W.S], I am a Dhimmi and (thus
need your protection) by a covenant, and added: Such and such person has given
a blow upon my face. Thereupon ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said: Why
did you give a blow on his face? He said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S],
this man said: By HIM WHO chose Moses (P.B.U.H) amongst mankind, whereas you
are living amongst us. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] became angry and
signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said: Don't make distinction
amongst the Prophets (P.B.U.T) of ALLAH [S.W.T]. When the horn will be blown
and whatever is in the heavens and the earth would swoon but he whom ALLAH
[S.W.T] grants exception, then another horn will be blown and I would be the
first amongst those who would recover and Moses (P.B.U.H) would be catching
hold of the Throne and I do not know whether it is a compensation for that when
he swooned on the Day of Tur or he would be resurrected before me and I do not
say that anyone is more excellent than Yunus son of Matta (P.B.U.H). This
hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Salama (R.A) with the same

here. I said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], we observed evening prayer
with you, then we said: Let us sit down and observe night prayer along with
you, whereupon he said: You have done well or you have done right. He then
lifted his head towards the sky and it often happened that as he lifted his head
towards the sky, he said: The stars are a source of security for the sky and
when the stars disappear there comes to the sky, i.e. (it meets the same fate)
as it has been promised (it would plunge into darkness). And I am a source of
safety and security to my Companions (R.A) and when I would go away there would
fall to the lot (of my companions (R.A)) as they have been promised with and my
companions (R.A) are a source of security for the Ummah and as they would go
there would fall to the lot of my Ummah as (its people) have been promised.

nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: The poor of my Ummah would be
he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat
but (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his
funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against
others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of
others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one
(who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the
account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown
in the Hell-Fire.

Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard pressed, ALLAH
[S.W.T] would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals
(the faults) of a Muslim, ALLAH [S.W.T] would conceal his faults in the world
and in the Hereafter. ALLAH [S.W.T] is at the back of a servant so long as the
servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of
knowledge, ALLAH [S.W.T] would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him
and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of ALLAH [S.W.T]
(Mosques) and recite the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T] and they learn and teach the
Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them the Tranquility and
Mercy would cover them and the Angels (P.B.U.T) would surround them and ALLAH
[S.W.T] makes a mention of them in the presence of those near HIM, and he who
is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) descent does not make him go
ahead.

would outweigh them and (these words) are: "Hallowed be ALLAH and Praise

Hadith 4:
Abu Huraira
(R.A) narrated:
"ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S]
said: The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday. On it Adam (P.B.U.H)
was created, on it he entered Paradise, and on it, he was sent down from it.
And in it there is an hour in which the Muslim worshipper would not stand in
Salat, asking ALLAH [S.W.T] for anything except that HE would give it to
him.'" Abu Huraira (R.A) said: "I met Abdullah bin Salam (R.A), and I
mentioned this Hadith to him. He said: 'I am more knowledgeable about that
hour.' So I said: 'Inform me about it, and do not keep any of it from me.' He
said: 'It is after al-Asr until the sun has set.' I said: 'How can it be after
Al-Asr when ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said: 'the Muslim worshipper
would not stand in Salat.' And that is a time that prayer is not performed
in?" So Abdullah bin Salam (R.A) said: 'Didn't ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S] say: "Whoever sat in a gathering awaiting the Salat then he is
in Salat"? I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then that is it.'"
"Our LORD, YOU did not Create this (i.e. the Creation)
aimlessly; Exalted are YOU [above such a thing]; then protect us from the
punishment of the Fire.
Our LORD, indeed whoever YOU admit to the Fire - YOU have
disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.
Our LORD, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith,
[saying], 'Believe in your LORD,' and we have believed. Our LORD, so Forgive us
our sins and Remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the
righteous.
Our LORD, and grant us what YOU promised us through YOUR
Messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, YOU do
not fail in [YOUR] promise."
"So which of the favors of your LORD would you
deny?"
