Do not go to excess in your religion. Say nothing butthe truth about
Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son ofMaryam, was only the Messenger of
Allah and His Word, which He cast into Maryam, and a Spirit from Him.
So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not say:"Three." It is
better that you stop. Allah is only One God. He is too glorious to
have a son! Everything in the heavens and in Earth belongs to Him.
Allah suffices as a Guardian. The Messiah would never disdain to be a
servant to Allah, nor would the angels near toHim. If any disdain to
worship Him and grow arrogant, He will, in any case, gather them all
to Him. (Surat an-Nisa': 171-72)
Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah are
unbelievers. The Messiah said: "Tribe of Israel. Worship Allah, my
Lord and your Lord. If anyone associates anything with Allah, Allah
has forbidden him the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire." The
wrongdoers will have no helpers. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 72)
Those who say: "Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam," do not
believe.Say: "Who possesses any power at all over Allah if He desires
to destroy theMessiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone else
on Earth?"The kingdom of the heavens and Earth, and everything between
them, belongs to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. Allah has power
over all things. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 17)
And when Allah asks:"Jesus son of Maryam! Did you say to people: 'Take
me and my motheras deities besides Allah?'" He will respond:"Glory be
to You! It is notfor me to say what I have no right to say! If I had
said it, You would have known it. You know what is in my self, but I
do not know what is in Your Self. You are the Knower of all
unseenthings." (Surat al-Ma'ida:116)
He [Jesus] said: "I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Book
and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am and
directed me to perform prayer and give the almsas long as I live…"
(SurahMaryam: 30-31)
It is not right for any human being that Allah should give him the
Book and Judgment and Prophethood, and then that he should say to
people: "Worship me rather than Allah." Rather, he will say: "Be
people of the Lord because of your knowledge of the Book, and because
you study." (Surah Al 'Imran: 79)
The Messiah, the son of Maryam, was only a Messenger, before whom
other Messengers came and went. His mother was a woman of truth. Both
of them ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them! Then see
how they are perverted! (Surat al-Ma'ida, 75)
We sent no Messenger before you without revealing to him: 'There is no
god but Me, so worship Me.' They say, 'The All-Merciful has a son.'
Glory be to Him! No,they are honored servants! They do not precede Him
in speech and they act on His command. He knows what is in front of
them and what is behind them. They only intercede on behalf of those
with whom He is pleased, and even they are apprehensive out of fear of
Him. Were any of them to say, 'I am a god apart from Him,' We would
repay him with Hell. That is how We repay wrongdoers. (Surat
al-Anbiya', 25-29)

The two most authentic books of Hadeeth

- ●◄ ►● - "Pub

http://translate.google.com/m/ - ●◄ ►● - > Saheeh Al-Bukhaari:
Of all the works of Hadeeth, Saheeh Al-Bukhaari and Saheeh Muslim are
regarded as the most authentic and authoritative books, after
Al-Quran. Indeed the very word "Saheeh" means"authentic". Saheeh
Al-Bukhaari was compiled by Imaam (leader) of Hadeeth, Mohammad Ibn
Ismaa'eel Al-Bukhaari, born 194H in Bukhaara, central Asia . He
traveled at an early age seeking knowledge to Hijaaz (Makkaah and
Madeenah), Ancient Syria, Iraq Egypt etc. He devoted more than 16
years of his life to the actual compilation of this work. He learnt
from more than 1000 scholars. It is said that Imaam Al-Bukhaari
collected over 300,000 Hadeeths and he himself memorized 200,000 of
which some were unreliable. He wrote many books especiallyon the
bibliography of Hadeeth narrators and other books on various issues of
Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). However, his book 'Saheeh Al-Bukhaari',
standsout for being the most authentic book of Hadeeth. It was also
the first book to contain only authentic Hadeeths, while previous
books contained authentic and non-authentic Hadeeths, as well as
sayings of the companions and others. Imaam Al-Bukhaari died in his
hometown, Bukhaara in the territory of Khurasaan ) West Turkistan ),
in the year 256H.
He grouped the traditions of the Prophet under various headings
dealing with specific points of Islamic jurisprudence. In his time,
the schools of law had been generally established and his objective
was to catalogue the traditions he regarded as authentic in relation
to their respective topics of jurisprudence.
Before he recorded each Hadeeth,he would perform ablution and offer a
two-Rak'ah prayer and supplicate to Allaah. Many religious scholars of
Islam tried to find fault in the great remarkable collection, but
without success. It is for this reason, they unanimously agreed that
the most authentic book after the Book of Allaah is SaheehAl-Bukhaari.
Some facts about Saheeh Al-Bukhaari:
1. It contains 7,275 Hadeeths, which he chose from the large number of
Hadeeths that he had collected.
2. The number of complete unrepeated Hadeeths is 2230.
3. All the Hadeeths mentioned areauthentic.
4. The conditions for accepting a Hadeeth were very stringent. Such as:
a) The chain of narrators must belinked, i.e. every narrator must have
met his predecessor, (the man of whom he heard the Hadeeth from, up to
the Prophet .)
b) For it to be enclosed in the Saheeh, the narrators must be of the
highest caliber regarding their piety, manners, memory, integrity,
etc.
5. The book is not a mere book ofnarrations; it is essentially a
course of study on Hadeeth, its derivatives, inductions and research.
6. Each one of its 97 chapters is headed by a relevant verse from the
Quran that complements the meaning of the Hadeeths quoted.
7. Finally, much more could be said about this monumental work,
however, it is enough to say that many people have reached fame and
achieved the highest qualifications by studyingthe book, researching
it and commenting on it.
Saheeh Muslim:
Saheeh Muslim is the second most authentic book of Hadeeth after
Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, compiled by Imaam Muslim ibn Al-Hajaaj Al-Nisapuri
. Born in202H and died in 261 H. He traveled widely to gather his
collection of Hadeeth to Iraq Hijaaz, Ancient Syria, and Egypt . He
learnt from many scholars, most of which were Al-Bukhaari's teachers.
He also learnt from the Imaam Al-Bukhaari himself and became his most
loyal student. Like Imaam Al-Bukhaari, Allaah have mercy upon him, he,
Allaah have mercy upon him, wrote many books on the sciences of
Hadeeth.
He, Allaah have mercy upon him, sought not so much to complement the
issues at stake in the fiqh , the lslamic jurisprudence, but rather to
produce a collection of sound traditions, an authentic record, on
which future studies of Hadeeth could be based.
Some facts about Saheeh Muslim:
1. The book contains 4000 non-repeated Hadeeths and 12000 repeated ones.
2. Many narrations are mentionedin Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, but with
different chain of narrators.
3. In every chapter more than oneHadeeth with the same meaning but
with different chains and textare listed. The first Hadeeth in each
chapter is the strongest, followed by weaker narrations in order to
strengthen weaker narrations.
4. Excellent classification.
5. The book is forwarded by a detailed introduction about the basis of
the sciences of Hadeeth.
Saheeh Al-Bukhaari is preferred over Saheeh Muslim based on the
authenticity of the Hadeeths. Imaam Al-Bukhaari was more strict in
selecting Hadeeths (chains) than Imaam Muslim . Besides considering
all the conditions of a Saheeh Hadeeth, Imaam Al-Bukhaari stipulated a
further condition that a narrator should meet the person from whom he
is narrating the Hadeeth.
Imaam Muslim however, did not stipulate the evidence of meeting the
narrator from whomhe is narrating, but according to him, it is
sufficient to accept the Hadeeth of a narrator if he lives inthe same
period and there was the possibility of meeting the narrator from whom
he is reporting the Hadeeth. So, the condition of Imaam Muslim was
less strict than the conditionof Imaam Al-Bukhaari .
While Bukhaari's compilation is considered the more reliable of the
two, Muslim's arrangement of his material has been recognised as
superior, and rightly so. While Al-Bukhaari made the traditions in his
collection testify to his own schedule of various points of law,Muslim
left them to speak for themselves.

Staying Steadfast in Turbulent Times

- ●◄ ►● - "Pub
lished by, M NajimudeeN Bsc - INDIA|®|- - - - * - Translator::
http://translate.google.com/m/ - ●◄ ►● - > Steadfastness in
faith has been mentioned on more than one occasion in the Noble Quran
and the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition). Allaah The Exalted, enjoined the
Muslims to be upright in their religion, praising the steadfast people
and promising them generous rewards.
For instance, Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {So remain ona
right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have
turned back with you [to Allaah], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is
Seeing of what you do.} [Quran 11:112]
Allaah The Exalted also Says (what means): {Indeed, those who have
said: "Our Lord is Allaah" and then remained on a right course – the
angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Donot fear and do not grieve
but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.} [Quran
41:30]
In addition, Sufyaan ibn 'Abdullaah once asked the Prophet to tell him
some concise words about Islam so that he would not need to ask anyone
else. The Prophet said: "Say, 'I believe in Allaah and then hold on
firmly to the straight path.'"
The Prophet said: "(Try to) keep to the straight path although you
will not be able to do so completely; and know that the best of your
deeds is prayer, and only a (true) believer maintains his ablution."
The meaning of uprightness:
Being upright in religion means adopting a moderate approach inshowing
obedience to Allaah The Almighty, abiding by His Sharee'ah (Islamic
law) and remaining on the right path regarding His Oneness. Hence,
being upright in religion means adhering to the orders of Allaah The
Almighty in terms of His Oneness, devoting all acts of worship
sincerely to Him only, as well as observing refined manners and the
Islamic moral code in one's relationships with other people and in all
one's deeds.
Uprightness is the path to salvation:
Scholars clarified that being upright in religion means being
straightness; the Arabic word 'Mustaqeem' means straight, without any
curves. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And, [moreover], this
is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other]
ways, for you will be separated from Hisway.} [Quran 6:153]
Uprightness and the allies of Allaah The Almighty:
Prominent scholars defined uprightness differently, yet all
thedefinitions share the same meaning:
1- When Abu Bakr was asked about uprightness, he answered,"It means
not to associate partners with Allaah."
2- 'Umar defined it as follows,"To be upright in following the orders
of Allaah The Exalted and avoiding the prohibitions and notto elude
others like a fox."
3- 'Uthmaan said in this regard, "Uprightness means devotion to
Allaah; offering all acts of worship with full sincerityto Allaah."
4- 'Ali defined uprightness as follows, "It means carrying out the
obligatory acts of worship".
5- Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, "Upright people are those who adhere to the
commands of Allaah The Exalted, follow His straight path, obey Him and
shundisobedience."
6- jMuaahid said, "Upright people are those who adhere to the
testimony that none is truly worthy of worship but Allaah until they
die."
7- Ibn Zayd and Qataadah both, said, "Uprightness means adhering to
obedience of Allah The Exalted."
8- Sufyaan Ath-Thawri said that the upright person is the one whose
deeds are in accordance with his words.
9- Ar-Rabee' ibn Khuthaym said, "Uprightness means turningaway from
everything and everyone but Allaah The Exalted."
10- Al-Fudhayl ibn 'Iyaadh said, "Uprightness is disinterest in the
mortal life, while seeking the immortal one."
11- Ibn Taymiyyah said,"Uprightness means to hold fast to loving
Allaah The Exalted and fulfilling the meaning of servitude to Him
without turning away from Him."
12- Imaam Al-Harawi said,"Striving hard in following the commands of
Allaah moderately."
The fruits of uprightness:
1. Happiness in this life.
2. The descent of the angels of mercy on upright people.
3. The angels of mercy would bring them glad tidings in their graves
that they will be granted firmness.
4. At the time of Resurrection.
5. Entering Paradise, the abode ofdignity that will last forever;
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {No fatigue will touch them
therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.} [Quran15:48]
