There have been people who insisted on leaving their imprints on life,
andthis is why history has immortalized their mention. They formed the
civilization of their Ummah (nation); their renaissance became a
source of goodness and light for the entire world,and they were the
lanterns which lit the way for the West during their age of darkness.
Al-Hasan and his beneficial knowledge
He is Al-Hasan ibn Al-Haytham (often known as Alhazen,the Latinized
version of his first name "al-Hasan") . He was born in Basra, Iraq,
and studied medicine, astronomy, geometry, mathematics and physics.
Among his important books of optics, a mention may be made of
Al-Manaathir (Latinized Opticae = Book of Optics ( in which he studied
the theory of refraction and reflection of light in transparent media
like water and air. It continued to be the mainreference for that
sciencein Europe until the end ofthe seventeenth century CE. In this
book, he laid the foundation of the discovery of the physical
principle on which both the microscope and telescope are based.
The National Library of Paris contains many of his books and
manuscripts in which he deals with some branches of geometry. Others
are at the Bodleian library at Oxford. He compiled 43 books on
philosophy andphysics, 25 books on mathematics, 21 books on geometry,
and 20 books on astronomy and arithmetic. It is mentioned that the
total number of his books handed down to us is approximately 200, all
of which he prefaced with the following wonderful words : "As long as
I live, I am going to devote my effort, mindand energy to knowledge
for three reasons:
1- To benefit the one who seeks knowledge during my lifetime and after my death.
2- To be a treasure for me in my grave and on the Day of my reckoning.
3- To make superior the power of Muslims."
The determination ofAl-Bukhaari :
He said, "Once, I wasin the house of Is-haaq ibn Raahawayh when one of
our companions suggested the compilation of an abridged book of the
Sunnah (acts, deeds and sayings) of the Messengerof Allaah . I was
impressed by the suggestion, and started to compile this book." ]
Siyar A'laam An-Nubalaa' [
Serving the Sunnah of the Prophet, was the mission for which
Al-Bukhaari pledged his life since he was ten years old. Allaah The
Almighty endowed him with his vision in this blessed gathering (in the
house of Ibn Raahawayh), which he realized by traversing thelands from
his native Bukhara on long journeys, collecting the Hadeeths
(narrations) of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa salam , passingby
Balkh, Marw and Naysaaboor, before he entered Iraq and travelled
between its different cities. Thereafter, he went to Makkah and then
Madeenah and completed his journey byvisiting Egypt and Ash-Shaam.
Al-Bukhaari said, "I composed the Saheeh (Book of Authentic Hadeeths)
in sixteen years." ] Siyar A'laam An-Nubalaa' ] He further said, "I
have produced this book out of approximately six hundred thousand
Hadeeths." ] Sifat As-Safwah : Ibn Al-Jawzi]
He was a miracle in the power of memorization and intelligence. He
said about himself, "I have memorized about one hundred thousand
authentic Hadeeths, and two hundred thousand unauthentic Hadeeths." ]
Fat-h Al-Baari : Ibn Hajar]
When will you leave your trace?
O you, upon whom Allaah The Almighty has bestowed Islam, and
sufficient it is for a favor! O you, whose forefathers lit up the
darkness of the world and established anastonishing civilization! Are
you not alarmed by the present state of your Ummah (nation)? Are you
not discomfited by the fact that the world exists for others, rather
than you, with which they play, and make weapons that they direct
towards the chests of your Ummah ? Are you not worthier ofprecedence
in the task ofbuilding?
Wake up and release yourself from the chains of inertia. Recognize
your identity and look at the golden past of your Ummah , to draw a
torch to light up the way for you. Hasten to work, and make your mark
on life which is but a limited number of breaths, and you do not know
at which point it would end. At that time, you willhave nothing to
leave in this world except your imprint upon it. If there is none,
then, history would irretrievably fold your page. However, if you
blaze a trail, people would stand by it and say: "He has passed
away,and this is his legacy." - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
