HADITH of the Day
Shamim Ansary:
Pillars of Islam
On the authority of Ibn Omar, the son of Omar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with both, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :
"Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the zakat, making the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan."
related by Bukhari and Muslim
Shamim Ansary:
Islam, Eman and Ehsan
On the authority of Omar, who said :
One day while we were sitting with the messenger of Allah there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him. He walked up and sat down by the prophet. Resting his knees against his and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said:"O Muhammed, tell me about Islam". The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said:"You have spoken rightly", and we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly. He said: "Then tell me about eman."He said:"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof." He said:"You have spoken rightly". He said: " Then tell me about ehsan." He said: "It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him, and while you see Him not yet truly He sees you". He said: "Then tell me about the Hour". He said: "The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner." He said: "Then tell me about its signs." He said: "That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted, naked, destitute herdsman competing in constructing lofty buildings." Then he took himself off and I stayed for a time. Then he said: "O Omar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said: "Allah and His messenger know best". He said: "He was Jebreel (Gabriel), who came to you to teach you your religion."
narrated by Muslim
Shamim Ansary:
Actions are but by intention
On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say :
"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated."
related by Bukhari and Muslim
shibli:
." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day." [Bukhari Book 75, Vol 8, No 319]
Faiyaz:
Sheikh Sayyad Sabiq in his Fiqh Us-Sunnah reported that RASULALLAH (S.M) said, "The ten days of the month of DHUL-HIJJAH are the best days in the sight of ALLAH". A man asked, "Are these days better than an equivalent number of days that are spent fighting for the cause of ALLAH?" Then RASULALLAH (S.M) replied, "They are better than an equivalent days spent fighting in the cause of ALLAH"(....RASULALLAH later described the reasons). We know that fighting for the establishment of ALLAH and his DEEN is called JIHAAD-E-ASGAAR and fighting to perish the ill inside, is called JIHAAD-E-AKBAAR. ASGAAR means something small and AKBAAR means something big. Now those who have been hurting humanity in the name of ALLAH should read this HADITH. They thing that they will satisfy ALLAH by doing JIHAAD but forget that they are hurting his MAAKHLOOQ. So, those who are hellbent that they will 'fight' should read this HADITH and should motivate themselves to AKBAAR JIHAAD, because ASGAAR JIHAAD is for extreme situations. The big JIHAAD makes sense. See, when when you devote yourself to ALLAH and try to kill your negative aspects you will be able to become a true MUSLIM who will be able to motivate and diminish the negativity and misconceptions spread about ISLAM and may establish ISLAM in a peaceful manner, the manner ISLAM has always been advocating.
