polnareff: why do you love hexing so much; i've heard some witches say it's bad

abdul: you're asking the wrong one because i say "fuck" in all of my daily incantations, and if i was a theistic pagan i'd probably yell at the deities

Narrated Ibn `Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما :

The Prophet (ﷺ) performed a prostration when he finished reciting Surat-an-Najm, and all the Muslims and pagans and Jinns and human beings prostrated along with him. Along with Abdul Warith, Ibn-e-Tahman has also reported from Ayyub in the same way, but Ibn-e-Olayyah did not mention Hadrat Ibn-e-Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما.

Narrated by Sahih Bukhari in his bookImam Bukhari

Hadith (Sahih)

[hadeth]

عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ، لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَىْ عَمِّ، قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏ كَلِمَةً أُحَاجُّ لَكَ بِهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ، تَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَلَمْ يَزَالاَ يُكَلِّمَانِهِ حَتَّى قَالَ آخِرَ شَىْءٍ كَلَّمَهُمْ بِهِ عَلَى مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ مَا لَمْ أُنْهَ عَنْهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ‏}‏ وَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏إِنَّكَ لاَ تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ‏}‏ . صحيح البخاري حديث ٣٨٨٤

Narrated Al-Musaiyab: When Abu Talib was in his death bed, the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression I will defend your case with, before Allah." Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Will you leave the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" So they kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he said to them (before he died) was: "I am on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib." Then the Prophet said, " I will keep on asking for Allah's Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then the following Verse was revealed:-- "It is not fitting for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the believers to ask Allah's Forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (9.113) The other Verse was also revealed:-- "(O Prophet!) Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will ......." (28.56) Sahih al-Bukhari 3884 In-book reference : Book 63, Hadith 109

 وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ (لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الْوَفَاةُ) فَالْمُرَادُ قَرُبَتْ وَفَاتُهُ وَحَضَرَتْ دَلَائِلُهَا وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ الْمُعَايَنَةِ وَالنَّزْعِ وَلَوْ كَانَ فِي حَالِ الْمُعَايَنَةِ وَالنَّزْعِ لَمَا نَفَعَهُ الْإِيمَانُ وَلِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ حَتَّى إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قال إنّي تُبتُ الآن} وَيَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ قَبْلَ الْمُعَايَنَةِ مُحَاوَرَتُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ... شرح النووي على مسلم

أمر الهداية بيد الله عز وجل، وواجب المسلم أن يبذل جهده في دعوة العباد إلى الله عز وجل، وتعريفهم بالإسلام، ويدع أمر الهداية له سبحانه وتعالى؛ فهو وحده مقلب القلوب، والهادي إلى سواء السبيل. وفي هذا الحديث يخبر الصحابي المسيب بن حزن رضي الله عنه أن أبا طالب عم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لما حضرته علامات الوفاة قبل نزع الروح، دخل عليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكان عنده أبو جهل، فقال له ��لى الله عليه وسلم: يا عم، قل: لا إله إلا الله، كلمة أشهد لك بها عند الله، فقال أبو جهل عم��و بن هشام بن المغيرة عدو الله ورسوله، وعبد الله بن أبي أمية بن المغيرة رضي الله عنه -قبل إسلامه يوم الفتح، واستشهد في غزوة حنين-: يا أبا طالب، تترك ملة عبد المطلب؟! والمراد بها عبادة الأصنام والأوثان، فلم يزالا يكلمانه حتى قال آخر شيء كلمهم به: أنا على ملة عبد المطلب، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لأستغفرن لك ما لم أنه عنه»، أي: ما لم ينهني ربي عن الاستغفار لك، فنزل قول الله تعالى: {ما كان للنبي والذين آمنوا أن يستغفروا للمشركين ولو كانوا أولي قربى من بعد ما تبين لهم أنهم أصحاب الجحيم} [التوبة: 113]، أي: ما كان ينبغي للنبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم والذين آمنوا به أن يدعوا بالمغفرة للمشركين، ولو كان هؤلاء المشركون الذين يستغفرون لهم ذوي قرابة لهم، من بعد ما ظهر لهم أنهم ماتوا على الشرك، واستحقوا بذلك عذاب النار، ونزل في أبي طالب قول الله تعالى: {إنك لا تهدي من أحببت} [القصص: 56]، أي: أحببت هدايته، أو أحببته لقرابته، أي: ليس ذلك إليك؛ إنما عليك البلاغ، والله يهدي من يشاء، وله الحكمة البالغة، والحجة الدامغة. وفي الحديث: كمال شفقة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورحمته، وحرصه على هداية الناس أجمعين، لا سيما عمه أبو طالب. وفيه: أن على المرء أن يتخير أصحابه وأهل مجلسه؛ فإن شؤم صاحب السوء يضر بالدنيا والآخرة جميعا. الدرر السنية

It is 5 May, the day of the Roof-Race. As the horse-race is to Siena, as the bull-running is to Pamplona, as Derby Day is to the English or even perhaps Bastille Day to the French, so the day of the Roof-Race is to the people of Hav. It is not known for sure how this fascinating institution began, though there are plenty of plausible theories. The race was certainly being run in the sixteenth century, when Nicander Nucius described it in passing as ‘a curious custom of these people’; and in 1810 Lady Hester Stanhope, the future ‘Queen of Palmyra’, was among the spectators: she vociferously demanded the right to take part herself, and was only dissuaded by her private physician, who said it would almost certainly be the end of her. ... The most familiar account of the race’s origins is this. During a rising against the Ottoman Turks, soon after their occupation of Hav, a messenger was sent clandestinely from Cyprus to make contact with the patriotic leader Gamal Abdul Hussein, who was operating from a secret headquarters in the Medina. The messenger landed safely on the waterfront at midnight, but found every entrance to the Old City blocked, and every street patrolled by Turkish soldiers. Even as he stood there wondering how to get to Gamal, at his house behind the Grand Mosque, he was spotted by Turkish sentries and a hue and cry was raised; but far from retreating to his boat, whose crew anxiously awaited him in the darkness, without a second thought he leapt up to the ramparts of the Medina, and began running helter-skelter over the rooftops towards the mosque. Up clambered the soldiers after him, scores of them, and there began a wild chase among the chimney-pots and wind-towers; but desperately leaping over alleyways, slithering down gutters, swarming over eaves and balustrades, the messenger found his way through an upper window of Gamal’s house, presented his message, and died there and then, as Hav legendary heroes must, of a cracked but indomitable heart. Such is the popular version, the one that used to get into the guide-books �� Baedeker, for instance, offered it in his Mediterranean, 1911, while adding that ‘experienced travellers may prefer to view the tale with the usual reservations’. Magda has another version altogether, concerning the exploits of an Albanian prince, while Dr Borge regards the whole thing as pagan allegory, symbolic of summer’s arrival, or possibly Christian, prefiguring the miracle of Pentecost. Most Havians, though, seem to accept the story of the messenger; and in my view, if it wasn’t true in the first place, so many centuries of belief have made it true now.

Future Prediction, The Prophet Informs On What Will Happen In The Future Great Miracle

His (P.B.U.H.) Answering Of Questions Before The Questioner Speaks Out

Imam Ahmad Narrates That Wabassah AlAsady (R.A.) Said:

I Came To The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Intending To Ask Him All The Questions Concerning Righteousness And Sin, While A Group Of Muslims Were Seated Around Him Inquiring On Religious Issues. I Made My Way Through Them So As To Get Closer To The Prophet.

As They Were Complaining, I Said:

Let Me Get Closer To Him For He Is The Most Loved Person To Me…

The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Said,

“Leave Wabassah Alone, Come Close To Me O Wabassah”,

He Repeated This Two Or Three Times. I Went And Sat Very Close To Him.

He Said,

“O Wabassah, Should I Tell You Or Will You Ask Me?

”

I Said:

No, You Tell Me.

He Said,

“You Came To Ask Me On Righteousness And Sin”.

I Said:

Yes.

He Said,

“O Wabassah Ask Your Heart And Ask Your Soul -Thrice – Righteousness Is What Is Appeasing To Your Soul And Sin Is What Is Abrading To Your Soul And Causes Hesitation In Your Heart No Matter What People Say Or Think”

(Musnad Imam Ahmad Vol. 4 Pg. 227-8)

The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Informs On What Will Happen In The Future

This Is A Very Vast Chapter And We Cannot Tackle Everything That Conies Under It, But We Will Try And Pinpoint Some Of Its Main Topics – Allahu Al-Musta ’An.

Firstly: What Is Mentioned In The Holy Qur’an

Allah Said In Suratul Muzzamil Which Is Among The First Surahs That Descended In Mecca:

“He Knows That There Will Be Some Among You Sick, Others Traveling Through The Land, Seeking Of Allah’s Bounty, Yet Others Fighting In Allah’s Course. So Recite As Much Other Qur’an As May Be Easy (For You), And Perform As-Salat (Iqamat-As-Salat) And Give Zakat, And Lend To Allah A Goodly Loan. And Whatever Good You Send Before You For Yourselves (I.E. Nawafil Non-Obligatory Acts Of Worship:

Prayers Charity, Fasting, Hajj And ‘Umrah), You Will Certainly Find It With Allah, Better And Greater In Reward. And Seek Forgiveness Of Allah. Verily, Allah Is Often Forgiving, Most-Merciful”( Suratul Muzzamil 20)

It Is Common Knowledge That Jihad Was Not Prescribed But In Medinah After Hijra. Allah Said In Suratul Iqtaraba:

“Or Say They: We Are A Great Multitude, Victorious? Their Multitude Will Be Put To Flight, And They Will Show Their Backs.”(Suratul Qamar 44-5)

This Happened On The Day Of Badr. Allah The Exalted Says:

“Perish The Two Hands Of Abu Lahab (An Uncle Of The Prophet) And Perish He! His Wealth And His Children Will Not Benefit Him! He Will Be Burnt In A Fire Of Blazing Flames! And His Wife, Too, Who Carries Wood (Thorns Of Sa’dan Which She Used To Put On The Way Of The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Or Use To Slunder Him). In Her Neck Is A Twisted Rope Of Masad (Palm Fibre)”.(Suratul Masad 1-5)

He (P.B.U.H.) Informed That His Uncle Abdull’zza Ibn Abdul Muttalib Who Was Nicknamed Abu Lahab, Will Enter Hell Fire Together With His Wife. Allah Destined Both To Die Non-Believers And This Proves Muhammad’s Prophethood.

Allah Says That:

“Say: If The Mankind And The Jinn Were To Come Together To Produce The Like Of This Qur’an, They Could Not Produce The Like Thereof, Even If They Helped One Another.”(Suratul Isra’ 88)

And Also Says In Suratul Baqara:

“And If You (Arab Pagans, Jews, And Christians) Are In Doubt Concerning That Which We Have Sent Down (I.E The Qur’an) To Our Slave (Muhammad SAW), Then Produce A Surah (Chapter) Of The Like Thereof And Call Your Witnesses (Supporters And Helpers) Besides Allah, If You Are Truthful. But If You Do It Not, And You Can Never Do It, Then Fear The Fire (Hell) Whose Fuel Is Men And Stones, Prepared For The Disbehevers”.(Suratul Baqara 23-4)

He Informs That If All The Human Beings And Jinn Sat Together To Come Up With A Book Similar To The Qu’ran, They Will Not Succeed Due To Its Eloquence, Rhetoric, Sweetness And Judgments Conveying What Is Accepted And What Is Not Accepted. They Will Not Be Able To Do So.

Allah The Exalted Says:

“Allah Has Promised Those Among You Who Believe And Do Righteous Deeds, That He Will Certainly Grant Them Succession To (The Present Rulers) In The Land, As He Granted It To Those Before Them, And That He Will Grant Them The Authority To Practice The Religion Which He Has Chosen For Them (I.E. Islam). And He Will Surely Give Them In Exchange A Safe Security After Their Fear (Provided) They (Believers) Worship Me And Do Not Associate Anything (In Worship With Me. But Whoever Disbelieves After This, They Are The Fasiqun (Rebellious, Disobedient To Allah)”.( Suratul Nur 55)

This Happened As It Is Said Above. Allah Established This Religion, Triumphed It Over All Others And Spread It To All Horizons. For You This, And He Has Restrained The Hands Of Men From You; That It May Be A Sign For The Believers, And That He May Guide You To The Straight Path.”( Suratul Fath 20)

The Promise Came To Be, As The Muslims Conquered Khaibar And Mecca.

Allah The Exalted Says:

“Indeed Allah Shall Fulfill The True Vision, Which He Showed To His Messenger [I.E. The Prophet Muhammad Saw A Dream That He Entered Mecca Along With His Companions, Having Their (Head) Hair Shaved And Cut Short] In Very Truth. Certainly, You Shall Enter Al-Masjid Al-Haram If Allah Wills, Secure, (Some) Having Your Heads Shaved, And (Some) Having Your Hair Cut Short, Having No Fear. He Knows What You Knew Not And He Granted Besides That A Near Victory”.(Suratul Fath 27)

Allah The Exalted Says:

“And (Remember) When Allah Promised You (Muslims) One Of The Two Parties (Of The Enemy I.E. Either The Army Or The Caravan) That It Should Be Yours; You Wish That The One Not Armed (The Caravan) Should Be Yours, But Allah Willed To Justify The Truth Of His Words And To Cut Of The Routes Of The Disbelievers (I.E. In The Battle Of Badr) “( Suratul Anfal 7)

Imam A1-Bukhari Narrated That Ibn Abbass (R.A.) Came To The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) And Said:

Give Me A Portion Of The Wealth That We Got From The Battle.

The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Said To Him:

“Take”.

He Took As Much As He Could Carry. Allah The Exalted Says:

“O You Who Believe (In Allah’s Oneness And In His Messenger Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) Verily! The Mushrikun (Polytheists, Pagans, Idolaters, Disbelievers In The Oneness Of Allah And In The Message Of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) Are Najasun (Impure). So Let Them Not Come Near Al-Masjidal-Haram (Mecca) After This Year; And If You Fear Poverty, Allah Will Enrich You If He Wills, Out Of His Bounty. Surely, Allah Is AllKnowing All-Wise”.'( Surat Taubah 28)

This Is The Way It Happened, Allah Enriched Them From His Bounty By Allowing Them To Benefit From The Spoils Of War And From Taxes Paid By The Disbelievers.

Allah The Exalted Says:

“We Will Show Them Our Signs In The Universe, And In Their Own Selves, Until It Becomes Manifest To Them That This (The Qur’an) Is The Truth. Is It Not Sufficient In Regard To Your Lord That He Is Witness Over All Things?

[dailytafsirofquran]

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Tawbah Ayah 113-114

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

9:113 It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikin, even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief).

9:114 And Ibrahim's invoking (of Allah) for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he (Ibrahim) had made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him (Ibrahim) that he (his father) is an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him.

Verily, Ibrahim was Awwah and forbearing.

The Prohibition of supplicating for Polytheists

Allah

It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikin, even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief).

Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn Al-Musayyib said that his father Al-Musayyib said,

"When Abu Talib was dying, the Prophet went to him and found Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah present.

The Prophet said,

O uncle! Say, `La ilaha illa-llah,' a word concerning which I will plea for you with Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.

Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah said, `O Abu Talib! Would you leave the religion of Abdul- Muttalib!'

Abu Talib said, `Rather, I will remain on the religion of Abdul-Muttalib.'

The Prophet said,

I will invoke Allah for forgiveness for you, as long as I am not prohibited from doing so.

This verse was revealed,

It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikin, even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire.)

Concerning Abu Talib, this Ayah was revealed,

Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills." (28:56)

This Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs.
Ibn Jarir recorded that Sulayman bin Buraydah said that

his father said,

"When the Prophet came to Makkah, he went to a grave, sat next to it, started talking and then stood up with tears in his eyes. We said, `O Allah's Messenger! We saw what you did.'

He said,

I asked my Lord for permission to visit the grave of my mother and He gave me permission. I asked for His permission to invoke Him for forgiveness for her, but He did not give me permission.

We never saw him more tearful than on that day.'''

Al-Awfi narrated from Ibn Abbas about Allah's statement,  (It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikin,

"The Prophet wanted to invoke Allah for forgiveness for his mother, but Allah did not allow him. The Prophet said,

Ibrahim, Allah's Khalil, invoked Allah for his father.

Allah revealed,

And Ibrahim's invoking (of Allah) for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he (Ibrahim) had made to him (his father).''

Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated that Ibn Abbas commented on this Ayah,

"They used to invoke Allah for them (pagans) until this Ayah was revealed. They then refrained from invoking Allah to forgive the dead among them, but were not stopped from invoking Allah for the living among them until they die. Allah sent this Ayah, (And Ibrahim's invoking (of Allah) for his father's forgiveness was only...).''

Allah said next,

But when it became clear to him (Ibrahim) that he (his father) is an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him.

Ibn Abbas commented,

"Ibrahim kept asking Allah to forgive his father until he died, when he realized that he died as an enemy to Allah, he disassociated himself from him.''

In another narration, he said,

"When his father died he realized that he died as an enemy of Allah.''

Similar was said by Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah and several others.

Ubayd bin `Umayr and Sa`id bin Jubayr said,

"Ibrahim will disown his father on the Day of Resurrection, but he will meet his father and see dust and fatigue on his face. He will say, `O Ibrahim! I disobeyed you, but today, I will not disobey you.'

Ibrahim will say, `O Lord! You promised me that You will not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected. What more disgrace than witnessing my father being disgraced!'

He will be told, `Look behind you,' where he will see a bloody hyena -- for his father will have been transformed into that -- and it will be dragged from its feet and thrown in the Fire.'''

Allah's statement,

Verily, Ibrahim was Awwah and was forbearing. According to Abdullah bin Mas`ud,

means, he invoked Allah always,

Several narrations report this from Ibn Mas`ud. It was also said that, `Awwah', means,

`who invokes Allah with humility', `merciful', `who believes with certainty', `who praises (Allah)', and so forth.

ISLAMIC LAW IN PAKISTAN\

-Introduction

Islamic Law – Introduction Islamic law is known as Shari’ah Law, which is derived from the Qur’an and Hadith and applied to the public and private lives of Muslims within Islamic states. Shari’ah law governs many aspects of day-to-day life—politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, social issues, etc. Havva G. Guney-Ruebenacker sees Islamic law as follows: “The Qur’an deals with legal and social issues at a secondary level and only to the extent necessary to give some guide lines to pursue the higher principles, purposes and policies of divine revelation, called ‘Maqasid al-Shari’ah,’ such as protection of human life, human reason, offspring, right to property and freedom of speech.”1 In fact, the Islamic worldview has highly developed and detailed legal traditions. As we saw in the discipline of Theology, Islam affirms that God exists and that God is the ultimate Lawgiver. Shari’ah is the name of the body of laws Muslims believe are applicable, while fiqh is the human endeavor to understand and apply those laws.2 “The goal” of Muslim jurists “is not law making, but fiqh—understanding or knowledge of a law deemed to exist already.”3 Some of the legal pronouncements encased in Shari’ah include the stoning of adulterers (though the Qur’an says the punishment should be whipping), cutting off the hands of thieves, and killing apostates.

Islamic Law – Shari’ah In contrast to the Christian worldview that affirms that God reveals both His will and Himself, Islam holds that “God has not revealed Himself and His nature, but rather His law.”4 Indeed, “the Shari’ah itself is considered to be a timeless manifestation of the will of God, subject neither to history nor circumstance.”5 There are four main tributaries for Islamic Shari’ah: the Qur’an, the Sunnah, the Ijma’, and Qiyas (analogical reasoning).6

Islamic Law – Qur’an The foremost source of Shari’ah is the Qur’an, which records “prohibitions on certain foods (pork, carrion, wine, animals slaughtered in pagan ceremonies), a number of legal rules concerning family law (marriage, divorce, and inheritance), criminal law (the hudud crimes, including penalties of highway robbery, illicit sexual activity, slander, and wine-drinking), rules about witnesses, and commercial regulation including the ban on riba (usury) and forms of contracts.”7 Yet several difficulties result from depending exclusively on the Qur’an: it simply does not speak to all (or even many) legal issues.8 In addition, many of its statements are ambiguous and addressed to specific historical situations. Ruthven comments, “As for the specific injunctions about the Muslims’ struggles against and relationship with the non-Muslims, these varied according to situations and were too specific to be termed ‘laws’ in the strict sense.”9 While Ruthven may want to limit the applicability of these specific commands, throughout Islamic history many Muslims have read such commands as normative throughout time, for example those passages regarding aggression against non-Muslims. Modern Muslims, especially those educated in the West, perceive the difficulty inherent in failing to acknowledge the historically specific nature of such interactions and responses. To illustrate the threatening nature of Shari’ah law, consider the case of Abdul Rahman. He was born a Muslim in Afghanistan. He converted to Christianity at the age of 25 while working with a group of Christians in Pakistan.10 In 2002, at about the age of 41, he returned to Afghanistan in the hopes of gaining custody of his daughters who had been living with tthe authorities. Under Shari’ah law, a Muslim should be sentenced to death for converting to another religion. He was put on trial for an “attack on Islam” and threatened with death.11 Probably due to international pressure, the case was dropped “for lack of evidence” and he was granted asylum in Rome, a feat accomplished in part by Pope Benedict XVI.12 Also, the Islamic belief that some passages overrule (or abrogate) others has led to debate over which rulings still remain obligatory.13 Thus Muslim jurists (legal scholars) historically have turned to the traditions regarding what Muhammad declared or practiced as having more practical significance than the Qur’an.

Islamic Law – Hadith Islamic traditions, or Hadith, contain records of Muhammad’s practices and customs called Sunnah. Among these traditions we read of Muhammad’s practices, significant actions or abstentions, rulings, and sayings. The Muslim approach to these records perceives Muhammad as expressing what should be normative among Muslims.14 Because the Qur’an does not address all questions of law, Muslim legal scholars turn to the Sunnah to discern the shape of Shari’ah. This body of material contains many more legal rulings and examples than the Qur’an. A fundamental difficulty is that many of the Hadith present conflicting or contradictory rulings arising from different places and times. Because much of the historical context is unrecorded, examples and rulings are left open to debate.15

Islamic Law – Ijma’ A third source for Shari’ah is the communal consensus, called ijma’, expressed among Muslim jurists of the first three centuries of Islam. An example of Shari’ah arising from this source is male circumcision, a practice not commanded in the Qur’an. In some areas, the practice of female “circumcision” (really female genital mutilation, often including a removal of part or the entire clitoris) is seen as demanded by Shari’ah as well. This illustrates how local customs sometimes rise to the level of Shari’ah in Muslim communities.

Islamic Law – Qiyas The fourth source for Shari’ah arises from legal reasoning needed to address situations otherwise unaddressed in the Qur’an and the Hadith. But not all Muslims support this approach to legal rulings, giving rise to various legal traditions. One of the more pronounced differences regards the consumption of alcohol. Ruthven notes, “While some jurists would argue that only fermented products of the date-palm and vine are prohibited, others, basing their judgments on the qiyas, would insist that all alcoholic drinks are forbidden, since the effective cause or common denominator (‘illa) behind the prohibition was the same in each case...”16

Islamic Law – Conclusion Law cannot be discussed in isolation from other aspects of a worldview. In order to retain personal freedoms within a society, its legal system must have a solid, sustainable foundation. Only a biblical worldview provides a basis for law that respects both human dignity (that we are created in God’s image) and human depravity (that we have fallen into sin). These two ideas also have implications in the area of politics and will be explored in more detail in the following article.

This is the Sunnah of the Prophet. . . . the doctrine of the sinlessness of the Prophet was formulated considerably later, but it was only the formal outcome of the inner logic of a process which goes back to the starting point of Islamic history . . . While he was alive, this authority was sufficient for and at any given point of time; the future remained open until it became present and was filled with decisive content by the Prophet bring¬ing his authority to bear upon it. But after his death, that living authority was no longer available and had to be transformed formally into a doctrine of infallibility. This means that whatever decisions or pronouncements of the Prophet were authoritative during his lifetime became infallible after his death. This is the specific legal ground of the Prophetic infallibility. There is also a theological ground for a different, more general doctrine of infallibility, embracing all the Prophets, which is based on the consideration that a human who is a recipient of divine revelation cannot be expected to err grossly, especially in moral terms. . . . [A]fter his death his authority continued as it had been in his lifetime. . . . [N]o one person could claim authority except under the Prophet’s aegis” (70). 15 Ibid., 76. 16 Ibid., 79.

Narrated Al-Musaiyab:

When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:-- 'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:--'Verily! You (O, Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.' (28.56)

Narrated by Sahih Bukhari in his bookImam Bukhari

Hadith (Sahih)

[worldofsufis]

The Holy Prophet ﷺ made things easy for people. He took them out of a pagan worldview which genuinely was full of crazy honour codes and vendettas and narrow-mindedness and stupid cults and made things just a lot easier. It was a liberation. That's why people joined him in such vast numbers. That's not really what we are offering the outside world nowadays. Unfortunately we offer them something really difficult, really hard. We don't give them any kind of transition or gentle way in the way we used to. It's all or nothing. Be perfect or else. God only accepts superman into Paradise, some kind of Super Abid (servant) tiptoeing through the minefield until your final day.

ISLAM 101: Your Faith.Part2

Who is Allah’s Messenger? His Birth

Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 CE. His father died before his birth, and his mother also died when he was very young. Thus, he was placed under the care of his paternal grandfather, ‛Abdul-Muttalib, and, after his grandfather’s death, he was placed under the care of Abu Taalib, one of his paternal uncles.

His Life and Upbringing

Muhammad spent forty years before he received revelation in the Makkan tribe of Quraysh into which he was born, and during this period (570-610 CE) he came to be known amongst his people as as-saadiq al-ameen (the truthful and trustworthy) because of his uprightness and excellent manners. He worked as a shepherd and later as a merchant. Before the advent of Islam, he maintained the pure monotheistic beliefs of Prophet Abraham , a haneef, worshipping Allah alone without ascribing any partners to Him and rejecting idol worship and pagan practices.

His Mission

When Allah’s Messenger turned forty, he would regularly retreat to the Cave of Hiraa’, on the peak of Mount Noor on the outskirts of Makkah, in present-day Saudi Arabia, meditating and worshiping Allah. It was then that he started receiving revelation from Allah. The first verses he received there were: “Read in the name of your Lord who created. He created man from a clot of blood. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous; He who taught by the pen; taught man that which he knew not.” (Soorat Al-‛Alaq, 96:1-5) These verses ushered in a new era of knowledge, reading, light and guidance. The Qur’anic revelations continued until his death twenty-three years later.

The Beginning of His Mission

After three years of preaching secretly, Allah’s Messenger spent another ten years preaching Islam openly. During this period, he and his Companions were subjected to all forms of injustice and persecution at the hands of the Quraysh pagans. Not losing heart, he began presenting himself during the pilgrimage season to the pilgrims who came from various tribes, calling them to the new faith. Pilgrims from Madeenah accepted Islam and, soon afterwards, Muslims started migrating to their city in successive groups.

His Migration

At the age of fifty-three, Allah’s Messenger migrated to Madeenah, which was then called Yathrib, in 622 CE, after the Quraysh notables who had opposed his mission plotted to kill him. He spent ten years there, inviting people to Islam, and enjoined the prayer, zakaat and the other Islamic rituals on the Muslims.

His Efforts to Spread Islam

Following his migration to Madeenah (622-623 CE), Allah’s Messenger laid the foundation for Islamic civilisation and determined the aspects of the Muslim society. He eradicated tribal fanaticism, spread knowledge, established the principles of justice, righteousness, fraternity, cooperation and organisation. Some tribes attempted to put an end to Islam once and for all, leading to a number of skirmishes and wars, but Allah supported His Messenger and made Islam reign supreme. Then, people in Makkah and in most cities and tribes in the Arabian Peninsula willingly began entering this great religion in crowds, fully convinced that it is the true religion.

His Death

In the lunar month of Safar, 11 AH (June 632 CE), after Allah’s Messenger disseminated the message of Islam and Allah had completed His favour upon the Muslims by perfecting His religion for them, the Messenger had a sudden onset of fever which led to his death on Monday 11 Rabee‛ Al-Awwal 11 AH (8 June 632 CE) at the age of 63. He was buried where he died, in the apartment of his wife ‛Aa’ishah ~, which is now housed within the Prophet’s Mosque in Madeenah.

Our Prophet’s Name

Muhammad was the son of ‛Abdullaah, son of ‛Abd Al-Muttalib of the Banu Haashim clan of the Quraysh. He was indisputably the noblest of all Arabs. A Messenger to All Mankind: Allah sent Muhammad as a messenger to people of all races, classes and colours, and He made it everybody’s duty to obey him, as the Qur’an states, “Say: ‘O Mankind! I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.’” (Soorat Al-A‛raaf, 7:158)

The Qur’an was Revealed to Him:

Allah sent down to him the greatest of His divine scriptures, the Holy Qur’an, which falsehood can reach neither from before it nor from behind it. (Soorat Fussilat, 41:42)

He was the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers

Muhammad was the final prophet sent by Almighty Allah; therefore, there will be no prophet after him, as evidenced by the verse: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but the Messenger of Allah and the Final Seal of the Prophets.” (Soorat Al-Ahzaab, 33:40)

The Meaning of the Testimony that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger

This means to believe his statements, do the acts he commanded, avoid the acts he prohibited and worship Allah according to the manner he prescribed and taught us.

What Does Belief that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger Entail?

1) To believe all the statements he made about everything. This includes the following:

Matters relating to the unseen world, such as the Last Day, the eternal bliss in Paradise and the everlasting punishment in Hellfire

The events that will take place on the Day of Judgement, the signs of this day and the major incidents preceding the end of the world

Stories of past nations and what happened between the prophets and their people

2) To do the acts he enjoined and avoid the acts he prohibited. This includes the following:

A Muslim must believe all the statements authentically attributed to Allah’s Messenger.

-To comply with his orders, fully convinced that he did not speak of his own desire and that what he came with was nothing but a revelation revealed to him, as the Qur’an states, “Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah.” (Soorat An-Nisaa’, 4:80)

-To avoid the acts he prohibited, such as erroneous practices and bad manners, fully convinced that he only prohibited us from doing so due to some divine wisdom and for our own benefit even if we may not be sometimes aware of such benefit

-To be certain beyond any doubt that doing the acts he enjoined and avoiding the acts he prohibited will benefit us tremendously and bring us happiness in this life and in the hereafter, as the Qur’an states, “Obey Allah and the Messenger, that you may find mercy.” (Soorat Aal ‛Imraan, 3:132)

-To firmly believe that those who disobey Allah’s Messenger r will suffer a grievous punishment, as the Qur’an states, “Those who oppose his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a painful punishment striking them.” (Soorat An-Noor, 24:63)

3) To worship Allah I in accordance with the Prophet’s instructions. This implies the following:

-To follow his example: We ought to follow the Prophet’s Sunnah, or practice, including his words, deeds and tacit approval, in all aspects of our lives. Indeed, the more one follows the Prophet’s example, the more one gets closer to Allah I and the higher the grades of honour one will have with one’s Lord, as the Qur’an states, “Say, ‘If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’” (Soorat Aal ‛Imraan, 3:31)

-Islam is complete: Allah’s Messenger May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him conveyed Islam and all its laws in full; thus, no one is allowed to introduce any practice in Islam which the Prophet r did not approve. Islam is relevant to all times and places: Islamic rulings mentioned in the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah are relevant to all times and places, for no one knows for certain what is best for people except Allah who created them in the first place.

-To follow the Prophet’s Sunnah: For one’s goods deeds and devotional acts to be accepted by Allah I, they have to be done in accordance with the manner prescribed by the Prophet r, as the Qur’an states, “So let him who hopes to meet his Lord do righteous work and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord.” (Soorat Al-Kahf, 18:110) The phrase ‘righteous work’ here denotes good deeds which are done in accordance with the Prophet’s Sunnah.

-Innovations in religious matters are strictly forbidden: Those who introduce an innovation in religion (an act of worship which contradicts the Prophet’s Sunnah), such as offering a prayer not sanctioned by the Prophet S, blatantly go against his command and will have the innovation they have introduced rejected, as the Qur’an states, “Those who oppose his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a painful punishment striking them.” (Soorat An-Noor, 24:63) The Prophet May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him also said in this connection, “He who innovates something in this religion of ours that is not of it will have it rejected.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree: 2550; Saheeh Muslim: 1718)

By strictly forbidding innovations in religion and adding or changing acts of worship, Islam intends to protect divine law against distortion and alterations and safeguard it against being subjected to people’s whims and desires. Apart from this, Islam does, however, encourage the human mind to engage in innovative thinking and to explore the secrets of the universe in all aspects of life with a view to serving humanity and helping develop its present and future status.

1. Know the historical background of Islamic Law - Muslim Law

Hello friends, in today's post, we will know about the Historical Background of Islamic Law, how Islamic law originated and developed and how it developed in our country India as well. For the convenience of study, the background of Islamic method has been described step by step which is as follows -

1. Basis of Islamic Law –

Islamic Law is considered to be a law based on 'Quran' and its beginning is believed by Muslims from the beginning of mankind. According to the Holy Qur'an, Muslims believe in the existence of Allah i.e. Allah is One and consider Muhammad Sahib, who presented it to the human beings, as the 'Rasul of Allah' i.e. Messenger of God. Apart from this, the verses of Quran, which were known to man through his last Prophet Muhammad, are considered to be correct and true and 'Allah Ka Kalam' (God's words). The Quran is in the form of a systematic sequence of dialogues given by Allah to the Prophet. These dialogues were revealed to mankind on different occasions during the twenty-three years after the Prophet became a prophet. Muslim law is believed to have originated with the rise of Islam. The Qur'an is regarded as the main source of Muslim law.

2. Islamic Law before the Prophet –

The first period of Muhammad's prophet hood is called the period of 'Ayam-il-Jahiliyya', at that time there was no existence of Islamic law and those people had no law and were divided into tribes. Each tribe had a headman or chieftain, who was often chosen on the basis of courage, knowledge and high descent. Each clan had its own law and disputes between them were settled by the head of the clan or by the sword. Idol worship and polygamy were prevalent in Arabia and Arab society was nomadic (homeless and wandering). There were two classes of people in Arabia – the first class was the people who were desert nomads known as Beduins and the second class was the city dwellers who were mainly traders and they led a settled life. The social life of the Arabs was based on the rules of their tribe and the fear, pressure and behavior of other tribes, there were often wars among the tribes. Killing of girls was also a common thing. Women were not given legal rights and were treated virtually like animals. The behavior of men was also rarely humane towards them. Regular marriages were unknown in that society. There were many types of arrangements for the temporary cohabitation of men and women for sexual relations, which were not much different from prostitution. Muta (temporary, for fixed time) marriage was common among the people. Muta was called legal prostitution in the beginning of Islam, but later Prophet Sahab declared Muta prohibited. Arabs loved the desert. He was freedom lover as well as courageous. In such a disorganized society, Prophet Muhammad preached Islam as a social reformer and among the people and did the work of reforming the society, which changed the body of the society.

His father's name was Abdullah and mother's name was Amina. His father died before his birth and his mother also passed away when he was only six years old. After the death of his mother, he was brought up by his grandfather Abdul Muttalib. But after two years his grandfather also died and after that he was brought up by his uncle Abu Talib. Mohammad Sahib was a person of serious nature since childhood and he used to spend most of his time in prayer and contemplation in a cave named 'Hira' and at the age of forty he started receiving divine messages (vahya) that means he became a prophet. . Since then he started doing religious propaganda among his countrymen. He preached that they should give up Paganism (idol worship) and adopt the ancient religion of prophets like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus etc. Due to the objection on their religion, the idol worshipers did big atrocities on them. They abused him, spit on him, threw dust on him and dragged him away from the temple of Mecca by holding his hair. Flight from Mecca i.e. Hijrah – The Prophet was expelled from Mecca for condemning idolatry (idolatry), the trend of that time in Arabia, and he took refuge with his followers in Medina. Leaving Mecca itself is called Hijra (emigration) and the Hijri year began. People were greatly influenced by his teachings in Madinah and the number of his followers continued to grow. The Hijra is a clear separator in the narrative of the Prophet's preaching. After the death of Muhammad Sahab, there were many candidates for the Caliphate (Khalifa post), due to which the public got divided into many mutual parties. But in spite of this, the authorized people immediately preserved the 'Sutras' and 'Hadith' and used them on questions related to both worldly and spiritual matters mentioned in the Qur'an. Since 'Sunnat' and 'Hadith' were not recorded till then, they were cited from time to time by their surviving witnesses to settle disputes and prevent people from doing things forbidden by the Prophet and in course of time they became evidence of judicial determination. Since all Muslims consider the Qur'an to be the Kalam (Word of God) of Allah, there are differences of opinion among scholars regarding the conflicting interpretations of its essential parts by different commentators, the principles of the rules of faith, and the acceptance of a particular hadith by some scholars. Different doctrines and different sects emerged due to differences of opinion due to acceptance or rejection of a particular person as Imam. The two major sects of Muslims are Shia and Sunni, each of which also has many sub-branches. Despite having so many sects, there is no caste discrimination among Muslims.

What is Islam | Muslim law Khilafat - Prophet Muhammad died (Parda) in 632 AD. He had no son. After his death, the Muslim community was divided into two groups regarding the succession. Abu Bakr, who was the father of Ayesha Begum, became the first Caliph. But after two years he died in 634 AD, after him Umar was elected as the second Caliph. He was murdered in 644 AD. After him, Osman was elected as the third Caliph. He was also murdered in 656 AD, then Ali, who was the husband of Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, became Caliph. Ali was also killed in 661 and was succeeded by his son Hasan. Hasan resigned his position in favor of Mu'awiya, an unelected official in Damascus, who was nevertheless assassinated. Ali's supporters convinced Hasan's brother Husayn to rebel against Mu'awiya's son Yazid. But he also got martyred while fighting bravely in the field of Karbala. Ommediades Dynasty - Moavia established the Omedia dynasty, which ruled from 661 AD to 750 AD in Damascus. Damascus was made the capital. Thus the Umayyad dynasty ruled and the caliphate was converted into an empire and a powerful empire was established. The people of Mecca and Medina were doing theology and jurisprudence, as a result Mecca and Medina became the centers of Islamic law and jurisprudence. Abbasi Dynasty - After the Omedis, the Abbasids ruled for many years with Baghdad as their capital and finally abdicated in favor of Sultan Salam I of Turks in 1517 AD. Ottoman Dynasty - In 1538, the Sultan of Turkey assumed the title of Khalifa. In 1924 AD, the title of Khalifa was abolished by Mustafa Kamal Pasha Read This Post In Hindi - Historical Background of Islamic Law

Other matters, such as contracts, etc. were left to the discretion of the judges, which were named justice, equity and conscience. By the end of the nineteenth century, all Islamic public law in India was abolished by Acts and Islamic law was left only on Muslims.

What is Islam? -

According to the statement of the Prophet, cleanliness of speech and hospitality, patience and righteousness are the religion or Islam. The knowledge of happiness from good and sorrow from bad is the sign of religion and the work in which one hurts one's own mind is a sin. In the religious sense, Islam means surrender to the will of Allah and in the secular sense, Islam means the establishment of peace.

Message of Islam –

The message of the Quran makes it clear that Islam has existed since the beginning of the world and will continue to exist till the Day of Judgment. Muhammad Sahab considered Muslim law to be a straight and natural law to be followed by man, in which there was no complexity, obstacle or ambiguity. Islam has a sense of brotherhood and the belief that Allah created them all and treats them all as equals. The teaching of religion in Islam is against factionalism of all kinds. Prophet Muhammad told people that excellence resides in action. Islam is primarily a religion of duty. Human service and charity is exclusively the service and prayer of Allah. The one who does not show kindness to man, Allah will not show kindness to him either.
