So, set your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from ALLĀH a Day which none can avert. That Day, they will be divided.

Whoever disbelieved will bear ˹the burden of˺ his own disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves.

That HE may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds out of HIS bounty. Indeed, HE does not like the disbelievers.

SUMMARY OF SĪRAH

SECTION 2⃣

PART 2⃣7⃣: THE AGREEMENT OF QURAYSH TO KILL THE PROPHET (ﷺ).

1⃣. When Quraysh saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) had companions and supporters who defended him and spread his message, they resolved to kill him.

2⃣. They agreed to take a young man from each tribe, and they would gather in front of his house. When he came out, they would strike him with a single blow.

3⃣. This way, his blood would be dispersed among the tribes, and his relatives would not be able to fight all the Arabs.

4⃣. But ALLĀH informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about what Quraysh had agreed upon and commanded him to migrate to Madīnah.

ALLĀH IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS!

ALLĀH says,

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرٌ ۞ أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِیࣲّ وَلَا نَصِیرٍ
Do you not know that ALLĀH is Able to do all things! Do you not know that the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs ˹only˺ to ALLĀH, and you have no protector or helper besides ALLĀH?

ALLĀH directed HIS servants to the fact that HE alone is the Owner of HIS creatures and that HE does with them as HE wills. Indeed, HIS is the supreme authority and all creation is HIS, and just as HE created them as HE wills, HE brings happiness to whom HE wills, misery to whom HE wills, health to whom HE wills and ailment to whom HE wills.

HE also brings success to whom HE wills and failure to whom HE wills.

HE judges between HIS servants as HE wills, allows what HE wills and disallows what HE wills. HE decides what HE wills, there is no opponent for HIS judgment, and no one can question HIM about what HE does, while they shall be questioned.

QUALITIES OF THE RIGHTEOUS WIFE

The woman’s role is to obey her Lord and obey her husband. Hence ALLĀH says:

فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٌ لِّلۡغَيۡبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّه
So righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in the husband's absence, what ALLĀH orders them to guard.

That is, they obey their husbands even in their absence; the wife guards her husband with regard to herself and his wealth. That is because ALLĀH has enjoined upon them to guard themselves, and HE has guided them to that; they could not do it without HIS help, because the human soul is inclined to evil. But whoever puts his trust in ALLĀH, HE will suffice him and take care of everything that worries him of his religious and worldly affairs.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

#sadi #Nisa (4:34)

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said,

"The best women is she who when you look at her, she pleases you, when you command her she obeys you, and when you are absent, she protects her honor and your property."

{An-Nasā'i #3231}

Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said,

"If the woman prayed her five daily prayers, fasted her month of Ramaḍān, protected her chastity and obeyed her husband, she will be told, 'Enter Paradise from any of its doors you wish.'"

THE SEVEN GREAT DESTRUCTIVE SINS

It is reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:

"Avoid the seven great destructive sins."

They (the people!) asked, "O ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What are they?"

He (ﷺ) said, "To join partners in worship with ALLĀH; to practice sorcery; to kill the life which ALLĀH has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law); to eat up usury (Ribā), to eat up the property of an orphan; to give one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battle-field at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers."

{Al-Bukhārī #6857 and Muslim #89}

Because sins are the cause of loss and destruction, the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) has commanded his Ummah to avoid the following major sins which cause the destruction of their perpetrators in this life and in the Hereafter:

1⃣. Shirk (Associating partners with ALLĀH: This is because it ensnares a person in that which debases him - the worship of other created beings.

2⃣. Sorcery: This is because it leads to many sicknesses in society such as swindling of gullible people, superstition and ignorance, fraud and cheating people out of their money by lying and deception.

3⃣. Taking the life which ALLĀH has forbidden: This is because willful murder leads to a state of chaos and disorder and breakdown of law and order, causing the people to exist in a state of fear and insecurity.

4⃣. Devouring Usury (Ribā): This is because the presence of usury, ог interest in society causes loss of the peoples wealth and property, as greedy and unscupulous money- lenders rook people of their honestly earned money, growing fat at the expense of hard-working people, with no benefit to the society but only to themselves.

5⃣. Usurping the property of the orphan: This is because such behavour constitutes injustice against one who is a minor, without any who can help him or support him except ALLĀH.

6⃣. Running away from the enemy without cause or reason: This is because such an act of betrayal to one's Muslim brothers, weakening their forces and breaking their morale.

7⃣. Unjustly accusing chaste women of adultery: This is because it destroys their reputations and results in loss of trust in them and sows doubts concerning the paternity of their children.

SUPPLICATION IS ACCEPTED ON FRIDAY

Abū Hurayrah reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:

"The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday... and it contains a time at which, no Muslim prays and asks anything from ALLĀH, but HE will give it to him."

Ka'b said, "That is one day every year.'

So I said, 'It is on every Friday!

Ka'b read the Torah and said, "The Apostle of ALLĀH has spoken the truth."

Abū Hurayrah said, "I met 'Abdullāh ibn Salām and told him of my meeting with Ka'b.

'Abdullāh ibn Salām said, 'I know what time it is.'

I asked him to tell me about it. 'Abdullāh ibn Salām said, 'It is at the very end of Friday!'

I asked, 'How can it be, when the Apostle of ALLĀH has said, "No Muslim finds it while he is praying..." and this is the moment when no prayer is offered?'

'Abdullaah ibn Salām said, 'Has the Apostle of ALLĀH not said, "If anyone is seated waiting for the prayer, he is engaged in the prayer until he observes it.""

I said, 'Yes, it is so!"

{Sunan Abī Dawūd #1046}

Jaabir ibn 'Abdullāh narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Friday is divided into twelve hours. Amongst them there is an hour in which, a Muslim does not ask ALLĀH for anything but HE gives it to him. So seek it in the last hour after the afternoon prayer."

{Sunan Abī Dawud #1048}

'Abdullāh ibn Salām is reported to have said, "I said while ALLĀH'S Messenger was sitting, 'We certainly find in ALLĀH'S Book (al-Qur'ān): There is an hour on Friday which, a believing man does not coincide with, while he is observing prayer begging of ALLĀH some thing, but his need is met with."

'Abdullāh said, "The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) pointed to me, saying: ‘Or some part of an hour.’

I said: ‘you are right, or some part of an hour.’

I said: ‘What time is that?’

He (ﷺ) said: ‘It is the last hours of the day.’

I said: ‘It is not the time of the prayer?’

He (ﷺ) said: ‘Yes (it is so), when a believing slave performs prayer and then sits with nothing but the prayer keeping him, he is still in a state of prayer.’

{Ibn Mājah #1139}

There is a great deal of difference of opinion among the scholars as to exactly when this hour occurs. The strongest opinion is, that this hour is at the very end of the day before sunset. The second most acceptable opinion is, that this hour should be considered as hidden like Laylatul Qadr, and the whole day should be spent in supplication and glorification of ALLĀH. And the third most acceptable opinion is, that this hour is found during the period when the Imaam is seated (for giving Friday sermon) until the Prayer is finished as is mentioned in the hadith.

The purpose of hiding this moment on Friday is, that people should remain engaged in supplication and prayer all day long. Had it been explained, people would not have made efforts in seeking it.

THE STATUS OF THE SUNNAH

The Qur’aan is the source of reference in every aspect, in belief and in legislation, similarly the Prophetic Sunnah is like the Qur’aan in that regard, because it is revelation from ALLĀH. HE, The Mighty and Majestic, said:
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
It is naught but revelation that is inspired. {An-Najm: Verse 4}

Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sa’di (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "This is proof that the Sunnah is revelation from ALLĀH to HIS Messenger (ﷺ), just as HE, The Most High, said:

وَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ
And ALLĀH has sent down to you the Book and the Hikmah. {An-Nisaa: Verse 113}"

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di || Page 965}

In the well known hadeeth reported by Abū Dawūd, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I have indeed been given the Qur’aan and something like it along with it." {Abū Dawūd #4604}

Hassaan bin ‘Atiyyah said: "Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to descend to the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) with the Sunnah, just as he would descend to him with the Qur’aan, and he would teach it to him just as he would teach him the Qur’aan.” {Sunan ad-Dārimī #608}

The status of the Sunnah in Islām is discussed in more detail by Shaikh Rabee’ bin Haadi al-Madkhali (may ALLĀH preserve him upon goodness) who said: "The texts of the Sunnah are to be assigned the status of the Noble Qur’aan in Ahkām (rulings) and beliefs and a clarification of that which the Qur’aan is distinguished by in terms of position. Therefore this shows us the necessity of following the Messenger (ﷺ) and of taking his statements and his actions and his ˹tacit˺ approvals (ﷺ) – and this is a must. No one can do without that – from anything which the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) taught us, and it is necessary that we respect the texts of the Sunnah and that we assign it – in rulings and in beliefs the status of the Qur’aan.

The Qur’aan is a miracle; unique and distinguished over the Sunnah in that worship is conducted by way of it in the prayer, and that it is a miracle which the Jinn and mankind have been challenged with, so they have not come with a Soorah like unto it, yet despite that in rulings and beliefs the Sunnah is like the Qur’aan.

'I have indeed been given the Qur’aan and something like it along with it.'"

{Ad-Dharee’ah ilaa Bayaan Maqaasid Kitaab ash-Sharee’ah || Vol. 1, Page 262}

The status of the Sunnah and its position with regard to the servant coming close to his Lord by way of it is illustrated by Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him), he said: "The shortest means to ALLĀH is by: adherence to the Sunnah and standing with it outwardly and inwardly, and the continuance of being in a state of neediness to ALLĀH, and to intend HIS Face alone in statements and actions, and no one has arrived at ALLĀH except from these three (ways), and no one has been cut off from HIM except due to his cutting off from them – or from one of them." {Al-Fawāid || Page 157}

O YOU WHO PRACTICE 'UQUQ (UNDUTIFULNESS TO PARENTS), HEAR THIS!

O you who has ignored the most important rights, who preferred 'Uquq to Birr (righteousness) towards your parents, who forgot their duties and turned away from the remembrance of the fate that will touch them in the future!

Know that fulfillling the requirements of Birr towards your parents is a debt that you have to pay, even though you pretend otherwise.

How can you fall into 'Uquq towards your parents, yet claim that you seek Paradise, which is below the feet of your mother, who carried you for nine months, but seemed like nine years, and experienced indescribable hardships when she delivered you?

She nursed you, took care of you, cleaned you with her own hands, preferred you with food, held you in her lap and showed mercy and affection to you, especially when you fell ill, in which case she felt sad, cried and took you to the doctor whom she paid to heal you.

If she was given the choice between your life or hers, she would willingly and gladly choose your life and her demise.

All this she did, yet, you treat her badly, even though she invokes ALLĀH in public and secret to direct and guide you to the best.

When she needed you after she became old, you made her the least important thing to you; you ate when she was hungry and drank when she was thirsty, and you preferred your family, children and friends to her.

You forgot her favors on you and felt the heaviness of her easy to fulfilll requests!

You thought that she lived for a long time, even though her life was short, and avoided seeing her, even though she had no supporter except you.

How can you do all this, when your Lord has forbidden you from even saying 'Uff' to her?

Surely, you will be recompensed for this 'Uquq in this life by being dealt the same by your own children, and in the Hereafter by being outcast from the Lord of the worlds. Hear ALLĀH'S words that convey to you HIS admonishment and blame:

ذَلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ
This is because of that ˹evil˺ which your hands have sent before you. And certainly, ALLĀH is never unjust to ˹HIS˺ slaves. {Aal-lmrān: Verse 182}

When Abdullah bin Abbas (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) was asked about the people of Al-A'arāf, he said:

"Al-A'arāf is a mount between Paradise and the Fire. It was called Al-A'arāf because it overlooks Paradise and the Fire, and it has trees, fruits, rivers and springs. Those who will be kept at Al-A'arāf include some men who joined the Jihad without permission from their fathers and mothers and were martyred in Jihad. Their death in the Cause of ALLĀH qualified them to be saved from the Fire, but their disobedience to their parents prevented them from entering Paradise. They will remain at Al-A'arāf until ALLĀH decides in their case." {Al-Kabāir || Page 41}

SUMMARY OF SĪRAH

SECTION 2⃣

PART 2⃣4⃣: THE FIRST PLEDGE OF AQABAH

1⃣. In the twelfth year, twelve men from the Arabs of Madinah came.

2⃣. They met the Messenger (ﷺ) at the first Aqabah and pledged allegiance to Islam with certain conditions.

3⃣. They pledged not to associate anything with ALLĀH, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill their children, not to slander or fabricate falsehoods between their hands and feet, and not to disobey in good. If they fulfilled this, they would have Paradise, and if they committed any of these acts, their matter would be left to ALLĀH: if HE willed, HE would forgive them, and if HE willed, HE would punish them.

4⃣. When they returned to their homeland, the Messenger (ﷺ) sent someone with them to teach them Islam and educate them in the religion. ALLĀH spread Islam through their efforts, until there was not a single house in Madinah that did not have mention of Islam.

ALLĀH has promised those of you who believe and do good that HE will certainly make them successors in the land, as HE did with those before them; and will surely establish for them their religion which HE has preferred for them; and will indeed change their fear into security—˹provided that˺ they worship ME, associating nothing with ME. But whoever disbelieves after this, they are the Fāsiqūn (rebellious, disobedient to ALLĀH).

ASK ALLĀH FOR AL-FIRDAWS: THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN PARADISE

It is established in the Qur'an and the Sunnah that Paradise has many levels, and that the people of Paradise shall enter and dwell in those levels on the basis of their Eemān and their actions, ALLĀH, The Most High said:

انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًا
Look how WE have favoured some of them over others. and verily, the Hereafter is greater in degrees and greater in preferment. {Al-Israa: Verse 21}

Shaikh ul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Paradise has levels, distinguished in phenomenal distinction, and the Awliyā of ALLĀH – the believing pious ones will be in those levels in accordance to their Eemān and their Taqwā." {Majmu’ Fatāwā || Vol. 11, Page188}

The highest of the levels of Paradise as well as its best part is Al-Firdaws, and its mention has come in the Book of ALLĀH, as HE, The Most High, said:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا
Indeed; those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them shall be the Gardens of Al-Firdaws as a dwelling. {Al-Kahf: Verse 107}

Imām At-Tabarī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said in his explanation of this verse: "Those who believed in ALLĀH and HIS Messenger and acknowledged the Oneness of ALLĀH and that which had been revealed from HIS Books and engaged in obedience to HIM, for them there shall be the gardens of Al-Firdaws. {Jāmi’ al-Bayān || Vol.16 Page 36}

Regarding it the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "In Paradise there are one-hundred levels which ALLĀH has prepared for those who fight in HIS cause, and the distance between each two levels is like the distance between the heaven and the earth. So when you ask ALLĀH, ask HIM for Al-Firdaws. For indeed it is the middle ˹and best˺ part of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of The Most Merciful and from it spring the rivers of Paradise." {Al-Bukhārī #7423}

Ibn Battāl (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "His (ﷺ) saying: "So when you ask ALLĀH, ask HIM for Al-Firdaws"

Is an address to his entire nation, there enters into it the Mujāhidūn and others besides them. Therefore it is a proof that ALLĀH grants it to the one who does not fight (in HIS path) – yet is close to the level of the Mujāhid, because Al-Firdaws; since it is the highest part of Paradise and there is no level above it, and he (ﷺ) commanded all of his nation with requesting Al-Firdaws from ALLĀH, it is proof that whoever is granted residency in Al-Firdaws; even if he does not fight (in HIS path), then his level has indeed come close to the levels of the Mujāhid in elevation." {Sharh Saheeh Al-Bukhārī || Vol  5 Page 13}

It should be noted that attaining high status in this world and the hereafter cannot be done by means of wishful thinking and dreaming; rather it can only be by taking the measures that lead to that. Along with du'a, ALLĀH has enjoined some acts of righteousness which the people of Al-Firdaws have been described with – and the mention of the prayer in particular. ALLĀH said:

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۞ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ
Successful indeed are the believers. Those who in their prayer are humbly attentive. {Al-Mu’minoon: Verse 1-2}

Until HIS saying, The Most High:

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ۞ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ ۞ الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
And those who strictly guard their prayers. Those are the inheritors. Who shall inherit Al-Firdaws. They shall dwell therein forever. {Al-Mu’minoon 9-11}"

So for the people of these actions, ALLĀH designated a life of eternity in Al-Firdaws, and HE mentioned these actions between mention of the prayer which came at the beginning, as well as at the end.

May ALLĀH from HIS Bounty and Kindness, make us and our parents to be from the inheritors of Al-Firdaws. Aamin.

REWARD FOR ONE WHO PRAYS JUMU'AH PRAYER WELL

Salman al-Farsi (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "No one takes a bath on Jumu’ah, purifies himself as much as he can, uses oil or perfume in his house, then proceeds for prayer and does not separate two persons sitting together, then prays as much as is written for him and remains silent while the Imam is delivering the sermon, except that his sins between this Jumu'ah and the previous will be forgiven." {Al-Bukhari}.

{Riyadhus-Saliheen: Book 9, Chapter 210, hadith 1154}

COMMENTARY:
This Hadith stresses the following four points:

1⃣. The need to purify oneself as much as possible on Jumu'ah. One must use hair oil and perfume so that others do not feel any irritation on the bad smell which may rise from one's clothes.

2⃣. One is advised to go for Salat-ul-Jumu'ah early so that he has not to jump over the shoulders of others, nor has to sit tightly between two persons. If a person goes to the mosque late, then he should occupy the available seat and observe full manners.

3⃣. One should perform Nawafil after reaching the mosque.

4⃣ One should listen to the Khutbah quietly. A person who observes all the manners mentioned in this Hadith will receives full benefits of Salatul-Jumu'ah.

FORBIDDING CLAIMS OF PURITY FOR ONESELF

ALLĀH said,

فَلَ تُزَكُّوا أَنفُسَكُمْ
So, do not claim yourselves to be pure

Forbidding one from ascribing purity and praising himself and thinking highly of his actions,

هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقَى
HE is most knowing of who fears HIM.

ALLĀH said in another Ayah,

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ بَلِ اللَّهُ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَأءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلً
Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, ALLĀH purifies whom HE wills, and they will not be dealt with unjustly, even equal to the extent of a a thread ˹inside a date seed˺. {An-Nisā: 49}

In his Sahih, Muslim recorded that Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata said:

"I called my daughter, Barrah (the pious one), and Zaynab bint Abu Salamah said to me, The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ forbade using this name. I was originally called Barrah and he ﷺ said: "Do not ascribe purity to yourselves; ALLĀH knows best who the pious people among you are,"

They said, What should we call her?'

He said: "Call her Zaynab"

Imam Ahmad recorded a Hadith from Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah, from his father who said,

"A man praised another man before the Prophet . The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "Woe to you, you have cut off the neck of your friend! (He repeated this), If one of you must praise a friend of his, let him say: "I think that so-and-so is this and that; ALLĀH knows best about him and I will never purify anyone before ALLĀH,"

if he knows his friend to be as he is describing him."

Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah collected this Hadith.

{Tafsi‌r Ibn Kathīr}

#ibnkathir #Najm (53:32)

`Aisha narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and receive good news because one's good deeds will not make him enter Paradise."

They asked, "Even you, O ALLĀH's Messenger ﷺ ?"

He ﷺ said, "Even I, unless and until ALLĀH bestows HIS pardon and Mercy on me."

{al-Bukhari #6467}

Imam Hakim and Imam Bayhaqi recorded (in summary):

A person worshipped ALLĀH for five hundred years on a mountain top. ALLĀH  would provide for him water and a pomegranate daily. He had passed away while prostrating to ALLĀH.

In the Hereafter ALLĀH will say to him to enter Jannah through his mercy. This person will tell ALLĀH, rather I will enter Jannah through my good deeds.

So ALLĀH says to HIS angels: "Measure MY blessing upon him and his deeds" and he finds that the blessing of sight has encompassed his worship for five hundred years, and the blessing of the body remains a bounty upon him, so HE says: Enter MY servant into Hell. He will be dragged to Hell and call out, "Lord, by your mercy, let me enter Paradise."

Jibril (‘alayhis salam) then said to the Prophet ﷺ, ‘O Muhammad! Everything only occurs through the mercy of ALLĀH’"

LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE AND LET MEDICINE BE YOUR FOOD

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) stated: "Health is one of the most precious favours ALLĀH has bestowed upon HIS servants, the most generous of gifts, the most plentiful of HIS bounties. Rather, even more, health is the most precious of favours without exception, so it is fitting that whoever is granted a portion of this fortune that he cherishes it, preserves it and guards it against harm. Al-Bukhāri narrated in his Sahīh from Ibn Abbās that ALLĀH’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: 'There are two blessings which many of the people lose, good health and free time.'" {Zād al-Ma’ād || Vol. 4, Page 196}

As Muslims, we are obligated to seek out the best means of acquiring good health and treatments for illnesses as Imām Adh-Dhahabi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) stated: "After the affair of fulfilling the commands and keeping away from the forbidden matters, the most beneficial means and most successful path of nearness to ALLĀH for a person are to maintain good health and treat his illnesses." {At-Tibb an-Nabawiyy || Page 18}

One of the greatest practices that is good for health and will protect good health against diseases is avoiding overeating, and the prohibition on being extravagant and overindulging in food.

Miqdaam ibn Ma‘di Karib said: I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ say: "The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is enough for the son of Adam to eat a few mouthfuls to keep him going, but if he must (fill his stomach), then one third for his food, one third for his drink and one third for air." {At-Tirmidhi #2380}

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "This is one of the most beneficial practices in both physical and spiritual terms, because if the stomach is filled with food, there is no room for drink, then if that food is followed by drink, there will be no room for air, and he will become tired like one who carries a heavy load. This is in addition to what results from that of spiritual damage, as it will make one too lazy to do acts of worship, and it will stir up physical desires as a result of eating one’s fill. Therefore filling the stomach with food is harmful in both spiritual and physical terms." {Zād al-Ma‘ād || Vol. 4, Page 17}

Ibn Al-Qayyim also stated that illnesses "are caused by:

1⃣. Consuming more food before the previous meal has been digested;

2⃣. By eating in excess of the amount needed by the body;

3⃣. By consuming food that is of little nutritional value and slow to digest;

4⃣. And by indulging in different foods which are complex in their composition."

He further states, "When a human being fills his belly with these foods and it becomes a habit, they cause him various diseases, some of which come to an end slowly and some more swiftly. When he is moderate in his eating and takes only so much of it as he needs, keeping a balance of quantity and quality, the body benefits more from this than it does from large amounts of foods." {At-Tibb an-Nabawiyy || Page 13}

Say, O MY servants who have transgressed against themselves ˹by sinning˺, do not despair of the mercy of ALLĀH. Indeed, ALLĀH 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 (i.e., the Qur’ān) before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,

MEANINGS OF THE MESSENGER'S (ﷺ) NAMES (MUHAMMAD AND AHMAD)

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said,

'Muhammad', is derived from the Arabic word 'Hamida'. He is called, 'Muhammad', because of the abundant good qualities that he has for which he is praiseworthy. 'Muhammad', has more meanings that pertain to praiseworthiness than, 'Mahmud'.

'Muhammad', is he who is praised more than other human beings. This is the name mentioned in the original Torah, because of the many good qualities of the Prophet (ﷺ) his religion and his Ummah (Nation), so much so, that Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) wished he was one of Muhammad's Ummah. We also mentioned evidence that supports this meaning in the aforementioned book.

'Ahmad', is also derived from the Arabic infinitive 'al-'Hamd'. There are two different meanings for 'Ahmad'. Some scholars said that it pertains to he who praises and thanks ALLĀH more than others. Therefore, 'Ahmad', is he who is the most praising among those who praise ALLĀH.

Another meaning for, 'Ahmad', is that he, among all mankind, is the most worthy of praise. In this latter meaning, 'Ahmad', becomes like, 'Muhammad', in meaning. The difference is that Muhammad indicates that he has abundant qualities for which he is praiseworthy, while Ahmad is he who is praised better than others are praised. Therefore, Muhammad is about quantity and Ahmad is about quality; it is he who deserves more praises and better praises than that of any other person.

These two names were derived from the Prophet's qualities and exalted characteristics for which he deserved to be called, 'Muhammad', and, 'Ahmad'. Residents of the heavens, residents of the earth, dwellers of this life, as well as, dwellers of the Hereafter praise Muhammad and Ahmad (ﷺ) on account of his many good qualities that are unending for those who might try to count them.

SECTION 2⃣

PART 2⃣6⃣: THE MIGRATION OF MUSLIMS TO MADĪNAH.

1⃣. When the Quraysh learned about the spread of Islam in Medina, they intensified the persecution of the companions of the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ).

2⃣. So he (ﷺ) ordered them to migrate to Madīnah and join their brothers, the Ansar.

3⃣. They left Makkah secretly, fearing that the Quraysh might prevent them from migrating.

4⃣. Abū Bakr (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) wanted to migrate, but the Messenger (ﷺ) prevented him, so he stayed with him in Makkah.

As for those who disbelieved, for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do WE requite every disbeliever!

And they will cry out therein: "Our LORD! Bring us out, we will do good deeds, unlike what we used to do." ˹They will be told˺: "Did WE not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would recieve admonition, - could receive it? And the warner came to you; so taste ˹the punishment˺, for the Zālimūn (polytheists and wrong-doers) there is no helper."

ETIQUETTE OF SUPPLICATING TO ALLĀH, AND MEANS TO ATTAINING HIS MERCY

ALLĀH said,

وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا
And call upon HIM with fear and hope

That is, fear of HIS punishment and hope of HIS reward, hoping that one’s deeds will be accepted and fearing that they will be rejected, not offering supplication in the manner of one who thinks that he is entitled to a response from his Lord, filled with self-admiration and raising himself above his station, or in the manner of one who is heedless and not focusing.

To sum up, the etiquette of supplication as mentioned in this verse is that one should be sincere in calling upon ALLĀH alone, which is indicated by offering supplication in private, concealing and hiding it. There should be both fear and hope, with no heedlessness, complacency or not caring about the response. This is part of offering supplication in the proper manner, because doing every act of worship properly means striving one’s best and doing it in a perfect manner with no shortcomings in any way. Hence ALLĀH says:

رَحْمَتَ اللّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Indeed, the mercy of ALLĀH is near to the doers of good.

That is, in worshipping ALLĀH, and do kindness to the slaves of ALLĀH. The more a person strives to worship ALLĀH properly, the closer he is to the mercy of his Lord, and his Lord is closer to him by HIS mercy. This is obviously encouragement to strive to do well.

And they said, "We are far superior ˹to the believers˺ in wealth and children, and we will never be punished."

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Indeed ˹it is˺ my Lord ˹Who˺ gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever HE wills. But most people do not know."

It is not your wealth or children that bring you closer to US. But it is ˹by being˺ one who has believed and done righteous deeds. For them there will be a multiplied reward for what they did, and they will be in the upper chambers ˹of Paradise˺, safe ˹and secure˺.

THE BELIEVERS ARE BUT A BROTHERHOOD

ALLĀH says:

إِنَّمَا الْمُوْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
The believers are but brothers,

This is a bond that ALLĀH has established between the believers. If anyone in the furthest east or west is found to believe in ALLĀH, HIS angels, HIS Books, HIS Messengers and the Last Day, then he is a brother to the believers, with a bond of brotherhood that dictates that the believers should love for him what they love for themselves, and hate for him what they hate for themselves. Hence the Prophet (ﷺ) said, enjoining the fulfilment of the rights of brothers in faith: "Do not envy one another, do not artificially inflate prices, do not hate one another, do not undersell one another, and be - O slaves of ALLĀH - brothers. The believer is the brother of his fellow believer; he does not wrong him, let him down or despise him." {Bukhari and Muslim}

And he said: "The believers are like a structure, parts of which support other parts." {Bukhari} And he interlaced his fingers.

فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ
so make reconciliation between your brothers.

ALLĀH and HIS Messenger (ﷺ) have enjoined the believers to fulfil one another’s rights, and to do that which will lead to harmony, love and understanding among them. All of that confirms the rights that they have over one another. Therefore, if fighting occurs among them that would lead to division, hatred and shunning of one another, let the believers bring about reconciliation between their brothers and strive to do that which will remove grudges and ill feeling.

وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ
and have Taqwa of ALLĀH (in all of your affairs),

Then ALLĀH commands them to fear HIM in general terms, and makes fulfilling the rights of fellow believers and fearing ALLĀH conditions of HIS mercy, as HE says:

لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
so that you may be shown mercy.

If mercy is attained, then all that is good in this world and the hereafter is also attained. This indicates that not fulfilling the rights of fellow believers is one of the greatest barriers to divine mercy.

DO NOT ASSOCIATE ANYTHING IN WORSHIP WITH ALLĀH

ALLĀH says,

لااَّ تَجْعَل مَعَ اللّهِ إِلَـهًا اخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُومًا مَّخْذُولااً
Do not associate with ALLĀH any other diety, lest you find yourself disgraced and forsaken.

That is, do not believe that any created being is deserving of any kind of worship or that any of them can be associated with ALLĀH, for that is blameworthy and leads to failure. ALLĀH, HIS angels and HIS Messengers have forbidden the ascription of partners to ALLĀH and have condemned in the strongest terms anyone who does that, describing this action in the worst terms, by using such words that one may conclude from them that the one who does this is the worst in characteristics and the most abhorrent in description.

Such a person is a failure in terms of both worldly and religious affairs, to the extent of his detachment from his Lord. Whoever puts his hopes in anything but ALLĀH is a failure and will be left to the one in whom he put his trust, for no one of ALLĀH'S creation can benefit anyone except by ALLĀH'S leave. Just as the one who believes that there is any other god besides ALLĀH is deserving of blame and is a failure, the one who affirms HIS oneness and devotes his worship to ALLĀH alone, putting his hopes in HIM and no other, is deserving of commendation and will receive help from ALLĀH in all his affairs.

THE SUPPLICATION THAT IS SAID AT THE TIME OF AFFLICTION - A PROPHETIC REMEDY FOR DIFFICULT TIMES

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "In the Musnad there occurs from him (i.e. the Prophet) (ﷺ) that he said: "There is no one who is afflicted with an affliction then says:
 
إِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أَجُرْنِيْ فِيْ مُصِيْبَتِيْ، وَأَخْلِفْ لِيْ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا

Innaa lillaahi wa 'innaa 'ilayhi raaji'oon, Allaahumma'-jurni fee museebatee wa 'akhliflee khayran minhaa.

‘Indeed we belong to ALLĀH, and indeed to HIM we shall return. O ALLĀH, reward me in my affliction, and requite me with that which is better than it.’
 
Except that ALLĀH will reward him in his affliction, and will requite him with that which is better than it."

{Musnad Ahmad #26635}

This statement is of the most far reaching cure for the afflicted person as well as its most beneficial for him in his temporal worldly life and his life to come. Indeed, it comprises two great fundamentals, if the servant realizes them through understanding them; then he will be comforted from his affliction:

The first of them: is that the servant, and his family, and his wealth are possessions of ALLĀH, The Mighty and Majestic, ALLĀH had but placed them with the servant as something borrowed. So if HE takes it from him, then it is like the lender taking his possession from the borrower.

The second: is that the eventual destination of the servant and his return is to ALLĀH – his True Lord, and it is a must that he will leave the dunya (the life of this world) behind him and shall come to his Lord alone – just as HE created him the first time, without family or wealth or kinsfolk – but with good deeds and misdeeds.

So if this is the beginning of the servant, and that which he was entrusted with, and his ultimate end, how then can he be delighted at one that is existent or grieve over one that is nonexistent? Therefore his contemplation upon his beginning and his life to come is from the greatest form of remedy for this malady."

{Abridged from Zaadul Ma’aad || Vol. 4, Page 189}

Shaikh Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaimeen (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:
 
"The duty of the person at the time of afflictions is to have patience and anticipation of reward, so that one should not be prohibited from the reward, since it is the one who is afflicted that in reality can prohibit the reward. So if a calamity befalls you, then say:

‘Indeed we belong to ALLĀH, and indeed to Him we shall return. O ALLĀH; reward me in my affliction, and requite me with that which is better than it.’

If you say that, ALLĀH will reward you in your affliction, and will requite you with that which is better than it.

This is an affair stated by the Prophet (ﷺ), and the actuality has bore witness to it. Since Umm Salamah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) was under Abu Salamah, and she used to love him with a great amount of love, so Abu Salamah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) died, and she said:

‘O ALLĀH; reward me in my affliction, and requite me with that which is better than it.’ Yet she used to say to herself: ‘Who is better than Abee Salamah?’ So when her iddah (waiting period) expired, the Prophet (ﷺ) married her, so the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was better for her than Abee Salamah.

This is something that the occurrences also often bear witness to, since if the person is patient and anticipates (reward), then indeed ALLĀH, The Glorified and Most High, will give the patient ones their reward in full, without reckoning, and impatience and sadness and lamenting does not repel the calamity."

ALLĀH DOES NOT BLESS RIBA

يَمۡحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰاْ
ALLĀH destroys interest

That is, HE takes it away and takes away its blessing, so that it becomes a source of problems and trouble and takes away blessing from the individual’s life. If he spends from it, he will not be rewarded; rather it will bring him closer to hell.

وَيُرۡبِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِۗ
and gives increase for charities

That is, HE will cause it to grow and will send down blessings upon the wealth from which the charity is given, and HE will reward the giver.

That is because the requital befits the action. The one who deals in usury wrongs people and takes their wealth in an unlawful manner, so he is punished with loss of his wealth. The one who is good to people shows kindness to them in different ways, and his Lord is kinder than he is, so HE treats him kindly, as HE is kind to HIS slaves.

FOURTEEN INSTANCES IN WHICH IT IS DISLIKED TO GIVE THE SALĀM

Shaikh Sālih bin Fawzān Al-Fawzān (may ALLĀH preserve him upon goodness) said during his explanation of the text of Mandhoomah Al-Adāb: "These are the instances in which giving the salām is disliked:
 
The first instance: it is disliked to give salām to the one who is speaking, since he is busy in conversation with other than himself.

The second instance: ‘with regards to the one who is busy with dhikr (remembrance of ALLĀH)’ – by way of tasbīh (saying: subhānallāh) and tahlīl (saying: lā ilāha illallāh) and in the recital of the Qur’aan.

The third instance: with regards to the one who is pre-occupied with the hadīth from the sayings of Muhammad (ﷺ).

The fourth instance: giving salām to the khatīb except during the Friday sermon; since it is forbidden to speak during the Friday sermon; and so giving salām to the khatīb and to those in attendance is impermissible.

The fifth instance: ‘the one delivering a lecture’ – the one who is delivering a lesson relating to the Qur’ān or relating to hadīth or Fiqh or in grammar – do not give salām to him. Some people; when they come to a gathering and the lesson is in progress; he will give the salām and raise his voice, this is disliked because this distracts the teacher just as it distracts those who are sat listening and so they turn their attention to him.

The sixth instance: ‘those who are researching in the sciences’ – whoever is researching an issue from the issues of knowledge then do not extend the salām towards him and thus disrupt his research; this is not legislated.

The seventh instance: ‘one who is delivering an admonition’ – whoever is admonishing the people; then do not give the salām if you approach, rather sit and listen to the admonition. Do not extend the salām; because you will distract the admonisher as well as distract those that are listening.

The eighth instance: the one who is reiterating/revising in (an issue of) Fiqh; and he is the one who is revising/studying Fiqh.

The ninth instance: the muadhin; if he is giving the adhān then do not extend the salām towards him whilst he is giving the adhān; since you will interrupt him from the adhān.

The tenth instance: ‘the one who is praying’ – if you arrive and someone is praying; do not extend the salām towards him until he has concluded his prayer. It has been reported that one of the companions gave the Prophet (ﷺ) the salām whilst he was in prayer and so he responded to him with an ishaarah (indication). Therefore is someone gives you salām whilst you are praying then you should respond to him with an ishaarah.

The eleventh instance: ‘the one who is observing purification’ – the one who is performing the wudhu then do not extend the salām towards him until he has concluded his wudhu. As for the one who is bathing for other than the purpose of worship; in order to keep cool or to clean himself then there is nothing preventing you from giving him salām.

The twelfth instance: likewise it is not legislated to give the salām to the one who is preoccupied with eating.

The thirteenth instance: ‘to the one who is defecating’ – this is more severe; and he is the one who is urinating or defecating – do not give him salām whilst he is relieving himself. Since it is disliked for the one who is defecating or urinating that he should speak in this situation; so do not give him salām.

The fourteenth instance: ‘the one who is fighting the enemy in a war’ – the last type is the Mujāhid who is in the instance of fighting; you should not extend salām to the one who is fighting because he is busied from you in fighting the enemies of ALLĀH."
