Transcendency.

Allah is unique, distinct and unlimited. Human minds are limited and thus cannot understand which has
no limits. Allah described Himself in books and through Prophets, yet humans got confused when trying
to understand Allah through His creation. They mixed up the attributes of Allah by giving them to His
creation and the attributes of creation to Allah.

Introduction:

One of the most important attributes of Allah is the “al-Uloo”, meaning highness or
transcendence. The name Ali, is derived from it, meaning the transcendent one, one of the names
of Allah and acceptable as human name as well.
This attributes implies:
1. Allah is different and distinct from the creation in such a way that
a. He is not mixed into the creation
b. Above and beyond the creation.
c. He is neither part of creation nor creation is part of Him, in any way.
2. His attributes:
a. Functions without restriction in His creations
b. Nothing happens without His will
3. Islamic concept of Allah’s relation:
a. With creation is essentially dualistic: one is creator; other is creation. The infinite
and finite. Two separate entities. Neither one is the other nor are both one.
b. Is Unitarian alone and creation is alone as well:

Old philosophies:

The challenge to this concept came when people entered Islam from other areas of world,
bringing along with them their pagan philosophies, resulting in the idea of ‘Allah is
everywhere.’

a. Their philosophy regarding God was that He is

i. Omnipotent: almighty, with unlimited powers
ii. Omnipresent: present everywhere at the same timeThis concept was originated from Greek philosophy. The argument for being
God everywhere, they give is that to say God is above creation is to put Him
in a location.

b. Christians easily accepted Jesus as God,

when they adopted this concept that God is everywhere. And they believe that God came to earth in the form of
flesh and blood, as man; was crucified and died.

c. Jews: believe that God came to earth in the form of man,

wrestled with Prophet Yaqoob (as), and was defeated.

d. Persians:

accepted their kings as God incarnated, again based on concept
that God is everywhere.

e. Hindus:

worshiping countless idols is also based on the concept that God is
everywhere and when they start to worship the idol, God becomes
concentrated in that idol. So they are not worshiping idol, but the God in
reality.

f. Muslims:

these ideas were introduced as people from these religions entered
Islam, and reached its peak during the Abbasid Caliphate.
i. The Mutazalites were the key to these ideas propagation and hold key
posts in the courts. This was not until Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal,
fought against these ideas, and eventually they were removed from
govt. posts.
 One of the Mutazalite scholars, Abul Hasan, Al ashari,
separated from this school pf thought. But during his process
of refutation to hadith and Qur’an, he developed ideas, later
on adopted and are still in Islam prevailing the As’aree madhab.

ii. These ideas became the root of Sufism as well; Sufism was originally the
Zuhad in its initial stages of like Hassan Basri (ra). It evolved and
became Sufism by the time of Ababsid Caliphate.
iii. These ideas as a result, produced a new concept that every human being
has within him a portion of God. The soul is divine and the purpose
of this life is to reunite with the Divine.
 They developed many methods to achieve this goal like
Dhikr etc. when man attain this stage in his life; he is
referred as to Fana or Ittihad with Allah.
 Mansoor al hallaj is the example of this concept, claiming as
to have within him nothing but God.
iv. Shi’ites: the breakaway sect, Nasserites believe that Ali (ra) is the
manifestation of Allah. Another breakaway sect, Druze, believe that
the last Fatimid Caliph, al-Hakim bi Amrillah, was the last
incarnation of God among mankind.
v. Ibn Arabee, a sufi, made his followers to pray to themselves as he
believed that God is inside man.

g. Modern examples:

I. Elijah Muhammad: who claimed that he met with God incarnate, who
was his teacher, Fard Muhammad, and he sent him as his messenger
to black Americans.
II. George Baker: Father Divine: appeared in the depression of 1920’s. He
captured the innocents by opening restaurants and told them he was
God incarnated, and his wife, Mother Divine.
III. Jim Jones: founder of Peoples Temple: claimed himself to be God
incarnated and made over 900 people do suicide with him in 1979.

Conclusion:

These claims of divinity are not limited to any place. They make roots where the soil is fertile.
If the mind is already accepting the immanence of god, God being everywhere, then it is not
difficult to accept creation as God themselves.
This concept of being Allah everywhere takes the man in shirk in Uloohuyah as well as in Asma o
siffat; by giving Allah the attribute of man.
Clear proofs:
Following are the seven proofs, established by orthodox Muslim scholars, to support the fact thatAllah is totally separate from, and above His creation.

I. A natural proof:

1. Islam believes that every human, when born, comes with natural tendency. This
belief is based on these facts:

a. Qur’an:

When Allah created Adam, he extracted from him all of his
descendants, and made them bear witness that He Unity.

b. Hadith:

Every born child is born with an inclination to worship Allah. It is
his parents that make him a Jew, a Magian or a Christian.
2. So this claim of Allah being everywhere can be used, itself to some degree, to test
its accuracy
a. If asked that if Allah is everywhere, then it is most likely that his essences are
also found in filth and filthy places. The common man would hesitate in
accepting this fact. Some may argue.
b. If asked by child, who is most towards natural tendencies, he will totally
reject the idea and would go on telling about where Allah could not be.
3. If Allah is everywhere and in humans as well, than if some of the Humans are to
be put in the Hell, and then Allah would also be with them in the Hell, which is
naturally unacceptable.
4. When faced trails and difficulties, the natural reaction of man is to see above,
calling God for help

II. The prayer proof:

1. As Muslims, we are forbidden to worship any idols, pictures etc. if it would
have been, by saying that Allah is everywhere; then a Hindu or any other
idol worshipper would argue that what they do is right as well.
2. So all the kinds of prayers and prohibition in worships to idols leads to the
concept of not Allah being everywhere. Even standing in honor of a person is
prohibited in Islam.
Example: if we take Christians in particular to argue, and ask them
about the Hindus prayers being answered by worshipping their idols,
they would reject as idolatry is prohibited in Christianity. When
asked he would say that it is God I reality answering, so ultimately it
is God answering your prayers as well.
The fact that Jesus prayed and worshipped beyond himself is another
proof of Jesus not being a God.

III. The Mi’raj proof:

Two years before hijrah, Prophet (saw) made a miraculous journey from Makah
to al-Aqsa, and then all the way above the seventh Heaven and his throne, the
last created thing, and above that is Allah: so that he could be in the presence of
Allah. If Allah would have been everywhere, He would have met Prophet (saw) in
his room.
 the incident of talking of Allah from burning bush to Prophet Mosses
does not deny the fact that Allah is above the creation and not
everywhere as He can make things work as He wishes to.

IV. The Qur’anic proof:

There are number of verses in Qur’an:
The verses can be referring to this fact as
1. Directly: the proof can be found in the statements as well as in the Divine names
a. Names: al-Ali, and al-Alaa, both of them mean the highest, above which there is nothing.
b. Statements:
 In suar al –ina’am:
“……and He is al-Qahir is above His worshippers……” (6:18)
2. Indirectly are those in which things are referred to rising up to Him or
descending from Him.
 As in Sura Al ikhlass, Allah called Himself As-Samad, to whom which the
things rises.
 In sura al Ma’arij:
“The angels and spirits ascend up to Him……” (70:4)
 And prayers and Dhilr and good sayings: as in sura Faatir:
“…….to Him goes every good saying…….” (35:10)
 When Pharaoh asked to build something higher so he can reach up and
see the God of Mosses. Sura Ghaafir (40:36,37)
And many more
 There can be some verse, making it appear like that Allah is within
creation, for then we refer to the hadith and explaination of Prophet
(saw) regarding that verse.

V. The hadithic proof:

There are two kinds of references as well in hadith:
1. Indirect:
a. In the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra): Prophet (saw) said:
“(a group of angels) stays with you at night and (another group of) angels by
dayime, and both of the group gather at the time of Asr and Fajr prayers.
Then those angles wh have stayed with you overnight ascend (to Heaven)
and Allah asks them about you, even though He knows all about you……”
(bukahri, Muslim, Nisai)
b. “When Allah created creation, He wrote in the Book which he kept with
Him above His throne…..” (Abu Huariarah: Bukhari, Muslim)
2. Direct:
a. Prophet (saw) wife, Zainad bint Jahash, used to boast to other wives that
they got married by their families while she got married with Prophet
(saw) by Allah from above the seven heavens. (Bukhari)
b. The most explicit narration is the one which, Prophet (saw) asked a
servant girl that ‘where is Allah?’ and she replied that ‘He is above the
sky.’ And ‘you are the messenger of Allah’. So he relaed her free saying
that she is a believer. (Muslim)
Prophet (saw) did not ask her that who is your God, as most Makkan
pagans did believe in Allah, but they also believed that He was present in
their idols as well. The answer of the girl clearly indicates that Allah is
not within His creation. Anything done, said in the presence of Prophet
(saw) and approved is also a Sunnah. Prophet (saw) not only accepted
her statement, as well as used it for judging the true believer.

VI. The logical proof:

1. There are two possibilities for two things to exist;
a. One of two has to be part of the other and dependant on it, like the
attributes
b. Or they have to exist by self, distinct from each other.
2. The first possibility is unacceptable to have Allah created the world inside
Himself, for which He would be having the finite attributes of weakness and
deficiency
3. The second possibility is acceptable, and world is created outside and
separate from Allah
4. After accepting this, Allah is either above or below the creation. It can be
understood by natural response of people when faced with calamity, facing
upwards for prayer. Moreover, it would not have been acceptable for His
majesty to be below His creation.

VII. The consensus of early scholars

A famous scholar of 15th century, ad Dhahabi wrote a book, on transcendence of Allah,
gathering over 200 statements of scholars confirming this attribute of Allah. It was
because people were getting affected by the teachings of Muatazzlites, Ibn Arabee, etc
 Imam Abu Haneefah was once asked about a person who says that he
does not know whether his God is in Heaven or earth? He said that “he
disbelieved, as Allah has said ‘the most Merciful is above the throne’,
and his throne is above the Heavens.”
He was further asked that ‘if he says that Allah is above the throne but
he does not know whether the throne is above the Heavens or on earth?’
he said, “he disbelieved,because he denied that Allah is above the
Heavens, and whoever does so is a disbeliever.”
 It’s been recorded in many books that the student of Abu Haneefah, Abu
Yousauf, asked Bishr al-maresi (of mutazilite school) to repent when he
denied that Allah is above the throne.

Summary:

We conclude three points concerning transcendence:
1. Allah is completely separate from His creation.
2. Neither creation surrounds Him (that He is within His creation) nor above Him.
3. Allah is above all things.
o Now the location is an attribute of created things. It came into being with the
creation. Allah is above, more precisely beyond all things. As location is to locate or place Allah in a place.
Same is with time. It came into existence with creation. When we say Allah knows all,it means all that was before time and will be.
o Ibn Abbas said:
“In Allah’s hand, seven heavens, even earths, their contents as well as what is
between them is like a mustard seed in one of your hands.”
For a mustard seed, we are above and beyond it.
As for Allah controlling all things, He knows sees and hears everything. He does not have to
be there to perform all actions. If we can see and hear all around the world, with just one
click one remote on computer, why not Allah, our God. It is man who has to be there to effect
a situation. So saying Allah is everywhere is shirk in Asma o sifaat, by attributing Him the
weakness of His creation.

o If asked by Christians, that why Allah would come on earth as a man, they would say
that, so that he would know how it is like being a man.
It is not true for Allah, as He does not need to be a created being or in creation to
know and act.
Similarly the verses in Qur’an, which mean as describing Allah in a location, do not
actually mean Allah in those places:
As said by Allah:
“We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein.” (50:16)
“O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he
(SAW) calls you[] to that which will give you life,[] and know that Allah comes in
between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything).
And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered.” (6:24)
These verses are taken in the meaning that nothing escapes from Allah’s knowledge,
even the innermost thoughts of humans. And that he can change these by His power.
Moreover, the verses should be taken in context and not out of context and in bits n
pieces.
One might ask that why the verses before supporting transcendence were taken
literally and those not supporting are taken in context. It is because the verses of
transcendence are in majority and is further supported by sunnah, while the later one
are in minority, and oppose what is already laid in Qur’an so it has to be taken in
context.

Magic in islam

   Introduction:

1. It can be defined as:
a. The control or foresight of natural forces by performing rituals to call upon
spirits, gods, the supernatural agencies or whatever etc for aid,
b. The belief that man can control the nature by certain formulas, rituals etc
2. It deals with the category of Tawheed Asma o Sifaat, though overlapping
Tawheed Ar Rubobiyah in some areas
3. It can be categorized as follows, by Western Version:
a. The study of natural phenomena, formerly known as ‘natural’ or ‘white’
magic, now called ‘modern natural science’. And is good magic
b. The sorcery or ‘black magic, used to invoke the supernatural powers for
personal or evil purposes, thus evil magic
The other terms used for this kind of magic were
i. Witchcraft: sorcery practiced by a women possessed by a demon
ii. Divination: practice of seeking knowledge of future by supernaturalmeans
iii. Necromancy: the supposed practice of communicating with the dead,
esp. to predict future etc. (a form of divination)
But from Muslim Perspective it is all evil.
4. The magic involves two elements:
a. Trick
b. Real magic: involved with the world of Jinn
Externally, they both are same in practice and fall under the same category.
5. In Arabic, the word ‘sihr’ is referred for magic.
a. It means whatever is caused by hidden or subtle forces. Anything that
happens subtle (delicate or precise) so as you cannot see the origin of.
b. The predawn meal taken before fasting is called ‘Sahur’, (from root Sihr), as
it is the time when darkness of night is ending.
c. In a hadith Prophet (saw) also referred as:
“Verily some forms of speech are magic. (sihr)”
It means a persuasive and influential person in speaking making right seem
wrong and vice versa.

The reality of Magic:

1. Modern western belief:

is that magic has no reality at all.
a. They are considered just the psychological disorders and to effect those who believe in it.
b. Because Modern science denies all kind of supernatural forces, only believing in what we see, touch, feel etc.
c. Magical performances are considered as deceptions based on illusions andtricks

2. Islam:

a. On one hand, it is a part of Islamic belief to not to believe on amulets and
charms for effecting good and bad fortune.
b. On the other hand, Islam does recognize the reality of magic on a certain
level, the one involved with the world of magic, and not merely as trickery.
3. Jews and their lies for magic:
a. Jews have four famous books, but they claim to have a fifth one as well, the
magic book. They support their practice of magic by believing this magic book
as a part of their books, and the magic was taught by Prophet Sulaiman (as).
b. Allah has described in the Qur’an that these magic trickery and astrology was
taught to them by devils
c. These were taught by two angels in ancient times, Haroot and Maroot, which
were sent as a test to people, by Allah. They used to warn people, but they did
not listen, and learned which caused harm to other people, esp. in breaking the marriages
d. The fact is that the harm was done by Allah’s permission, so in reality they were
harming themselves by learning the magic, as act of disbelief is to be committed for learning magic.
e. It was clearly mentioned in Torah about sorcery to be forbidden, and learner of
it as a disbeliever, and that he will be in Hell forever. But they removed these
verses and learned the magic.

4. There are many verses and Hadiths to prove magic as haram

Qur’an:

Allah says:
“ ◌ ………………وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لَمَنِ اشْتَرَاهُ مَا لَھُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ
“……But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic
would not have in the Hereafter any share….” (2: 102)
This verse proves three things:
a. The punishment of eternal residence in hell (as the will have no share in
hereafter) can only be for something sever and haram
b. The magician, who teaches and learn magic are Kaafirs (disbelievers).
c. The term ‘purchased’: acquires it: is general in its implication. So it means
i. Who acquires wealth from teaching it
ii. Who pays to learn it
iii. Or simply who has knowledge of it

Sunnah:

i. The last two Surahs, al-Falaq and an-Naas were revealed to break the
magical spell on Prophet (saw),
a. Done by the Jew, Labeeb Ibn Aasam.
b. He suffered from memory loss; forgetting things, and effecting perception;
closer things were far away and vice versa.
c. So the effect was not severe that it created doubt on his teachings.
d. Jibreel (as) came with suras and told about the charm in certain well
e. Prophet (saw) asked Ali (ra) to bring it, unite knots while reciting surahs
ii. Allah could have prevented it, but He allowed it to happen so as to make
aware people of its reality and how to deal with it.

5. Magic and Miracle:

There is a very small difference in miracle and magic. As in case of Prophet
Mosses (as) and the magicians of Pharaoh, Mosses (as) also make stick as
snake, but it was real and a miracle; while magicians tricked by making sticks
appeared as snakes.
a. Same is the case with many Leaders having millions of followers, as they
show their miracles, which are in fact the tricks and magic, like Sa’ai Baba
or Avatars in India.
b. This has also affected the Muslims. Those are considered saints and sufis,
who can perform miracles (magic), of traveling huge distances in seconds,
produce food or money from nowhere, appearing at multiple places at the
same time etc.

6. The reality:

If one observes deeply the phenomena of haunted houses, voodoo, levitation (the act
of raising a person in air by apparently supernatural means), Ouija boards,
séances (meeting where people communicate with the dead ones by a medium),
demonic possession etc, he will find out the involvement of magic somehow in them.

7. Jinn:

i. Behind all this is the world of Jinn involved. The jinn: forms:
a. Most of them are invisible
b. Some of them are in form of dog and snakes
c. And few of them can take any form they want, involving human form.
 Example: The incident of Abu Hurairah (ra), when he was made
Guardian of Charity, and he captivated a man three nights, digging
food, is an example of this. Abu Hurairah (ra) was later informed by
Prophet (saw) that he was the devil. (Bukhari)

ii. Abilities:

a. Can travel vast distances
b. Enter human bodies
c. While remaining invisible can produce sounds, turn on/off lights, in
haunted houses
d. Imitate the voice of dead ones and relating their stories in séances
e. Levitation: raise the person/thing on themselves
f. Ouija board: prodding by them
g. Flying sorcerers
h. UFOs: aliens: to reaffirm the concept of those who believe that universe
is an accident
i. The reincarnation: esp. the younger kids relating stories and places of
their previous lives, as fed by Jinn, as they can enter and can feed our
minds, through dreams
iii. In particular:

1. possession:

Possession by jinn is by entering the body as well as the mind. It can be
a. Temporary: where people make themselves work physically and
spiritually violently, falling unconscious, and speaking foreign tongues.
It is Jinn cackling on their lips.
It’s also been observed in the Dhikr circles of sufis.
b. Permanently: where major personality changes take place; person
acting abnormally, having supernatural powers, and even Jinn talking
directly.

2. Exorcism:

the practice of expulsion of demons or evil spirits from the
possessed houses or persons.
a. Non-Muslims methods obviously involve shrik, and are forbidden.
When they do this procedure, the jinn leave the body Willingly, to
reaffirm the act of shirk they do to remove him,
b. Muslims: methods involve what is prescribed by Qur’an and Sunnah,
and in this method, jinn is expelled from body.

Methods:

There are essentially three methods of removing Jinn from
possessed person:
I. To remove jinn by calling upon other jinn.
As this method requires a magician to break spell of the
other, and involves things against Islam, thus forbidden.
II. By using the exorcist methods of Christians and Non-
Muslims. They may call upon Jesus or their other priests,
or by using cross. The Jinn leaves the possessed the
person confirming them that their methods of exorcism,
involving shirk are correct. So this cause those to be firm
on their beliefs of shirk.
III. By reading Qur’an and duas as prescribed by Prophet
(saw). In this case, the jinn are driven out by command or
even by blows.
c. Examples from Sunnah for exorcism:
When a boy was presented to him on his way, and he blew in his
mouth, said Bismillah and asked the jinn to go away.
When an insane boy was brought to him and he hit his back,
saying the enemy of Allah (Satan, jinn) to get out.
When a companion cured a possessed person by reciting Sura al
Fatiha over him, for three days and nights, and he was cured.
This method was approved by Prophet (saw).

Islamic ruling on Magic:

Islam regards practice and learning of magic as kufr, so based on a hadith, the
punishment for a magician, who do not repent is death. As Prophet (saw) said:
“The prescribed punishment of magician is that he be executed by by the sword.”
Although this hadith is Daif in its chain of narrations, but it is upgraded to
Hasan for being supporting evidences.
a. Three imams (Abu Hanifah, Malik, Hanbal) ruled according to it, while
Sha’afi ruled that the magician should be executed if he reaches the level of kufr
b. This law was vigorously carried out by Righteous Caliphs. Bajjalh Ibn
Abdah reported that Umar (ra) sent letters to Muslim forces to inform the
Zoroastrians (of Prophet Zoroaster) to dissolve marriages to their
daughters, mothers and sisters. To eat their food, as they were in Ahl e kitab,
and to kill all magicians and fortuneteller. On this order, Banjallah himself
executed three magicians.
c. Hafsa (ra), wife of Prophet (saw), had her servant killed as she was found to
be doing magic on her.
d. In Umayyad Caliphate, magicians were introduced in the courts. So
companions practiced this ruling on individual basis. In the court of Malik
ibn Marwan, there was a magician playing trick of cutting the haed and
joining back again. People were amazed and said that SubhanAlllah he can
tack and give life. A companion, Jundub al-Adi, went back home to bring
sword. Next day, when the magician was about to perform his magic,
Jundub chopped his head and said that now bring back yourself to life. He
was arrested and jailed.
Believing in magic is attributing the siffat of Allah to the creation, so shirk in
Asma o sifaat.

Astrology in Islam

                                      Astrology

1. The knowledge of stars and planetary calculations collectively is called ‘Tanjeem’.Najam: star

2. it is one of the important branches of fortunetelling

3. it has been divided into three categories

a. the belief that earthly beings are influenced by the heavenly bodies

b. the same belief but a Muslim version that Allah causes all this

c. astronomy: calculations for directions, farmers to determine

seasons etc and ishalal

First category:

1. that the earthly beings affected by heavenly bodies

2. future can be forecasted by their movements

3. it is the shirk in Asma O sifaat, as attributing the creation the qualities of Allah

4. Origin:

a. As ancient as from 3rd millennium B.C. in Mesotopomia, and attained full development in Greek orbit

b. It reached China and India in 6th century B.C. and was widely adopted

c. It was made unique to Royal court to only in Greece, and then in India and

China too, general public cannot access it

d. But in 4th century B.C. in Greek, the general Greek public can also access it, if it can afford to

5. Christians:

a. The Christianity adopted the cultural aspects of Greece, when it reached there after leaving middle east, as idea of trinity and astrology

b. So the early Christian writers, like Dante and St. Thomas Aquinas, accepted it as an exact science

6. Ibrahim (AS):

a. Was sent to Sabians, who also believed in astrology

b. They made idols of moon, stars and sun and prostrated to them

c. They also believed that the spirits of these heavenly bodies come into idols and communicate and fulfill the desires

7. Islam:

a. Cancelled all types of this kind

b. It is shirk as it involves predicting future, giving the attribute of Allah to stars etc and most important of them is the control over destiny (Qadar)

c. It is kufr and those who practice it are considered kaafir

d. It is haram as Ibn Abbas narrated that Prophet (saw) said:

“Whoever acquires any branch of astrology has acquired knowledge of a branch of magic. The more he increases in that knowledge the more he increases in sin.”

Second category:

1. The Muslim version of astrology, that heavenly objects do affect the earthly beings, but by Allah’s will

2. This entered Muslim’s ruler ship during late Umayyad caliphate and early Abbasid’s Caliphate

3. The latter were more corrupt and introduced dancing girls, jokers, court scholars, and astronomers etc

4. They knew that prohibition of astrology, so to want to make it practice they said that we are making predictions and Allah will do if He wants to, inshaAllah

5. So astrological predictions were attributed to Allah’s will

6. Still this practice is also haram and is Kufr

7. As in this case also, Allah’s powers are given to creations and His Knowledge is claimed by these interpreters

Third category:

1. Astronomy: based on scientific facts

2. For directions as North Pole star, and for season predictions etc is legitimate

3. It is halal as also mentioned in Qur’an

“it is He who made the stars as guidance for you in the darkness of land and sea.”Arguments of Muslim astrologers:

1. The verse used by early astrologers:

“And signs and with the stars they are rightly guided.”

a. They used that the scince refers to astrology

b. However, we can refer to Companions or Prophet (saw), as Ibn Abbas (tarjaman ul Quar’an, the translator of Qur’an, said by Prophet saw) said:

“The signs here mean the road signs or landmarks in daylight hours, not the stars at all. The guidance by them is meant to be guided at day and night during travel.”

c. The most prominent argument is the translation of the Sura al Burooj as ‘zodiacal signs’. In reality it means ‘star configuration’

Astrology

1. It destroys the element of Asma o sifaat

2. Its haram and forbidden

3. The hadeeths of Prophet (saw) about approaching fortuneteller, and the prayers will not accepted and disbelieved in Islam, takes this aspect of astrology in it also

4. As both the fortuneteller and astrologer claims to predict the future

5. The Mulsims should not even wear things related to these, even they do not believe it, as they represent the Kuffar

6. Prophet (saw) said:

“What I fear most of my nation after my time is: the injustice of their leaders, the belief in stars and the denial of divine destiny.”

7. Qatadah, a leading scholar who studied under Companions of Prophet (saw), also said

a. The stars are for directional guidance and for stoning devils

b. Seeking anything beyond this is unacceptable

c. They are people of ignorance to Allah’s commands

d. No one knows of unseen

e. If Allah would have taught it, He would have had taught it to Adam, when he made him learn the names of all things.

About Author :Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari
Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qari, more popularly known as Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari, was an ascetic, hadith scholar, jurist, theologian, and author of what has been hailed as the most comprehensive Arabic commentary on the Mishkat al-Masabih, entitled Mirqat al-Mafatih. He is also famous for his commentary on Al-Fiqh al-Akbar, called Minah al-Rawd al-Azhar (Gifts of the Blooming Gardens). Qari was born in Herat, Afghanistan, where he received his primary years of Islamic education. Thereafter, he traveled to Makka, where he studied under numerous scholars, including Shaykh Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Haytami al-Makki and Qutb al-Din al-Hanafi. He was called Al-Qari, “The Reciter,” because of his mastery of the science of Qur’anic recitation. Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari remained in Makka, where he taught until his death in 1014/1606. His written works include a two-volume commentary on Qadi ‘Iyad’s Al-Shifa’ (The Cure); a two-volume commentary on Imam Ghazali’s abridgment of the Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), entitled ‘Ayn al-’Ilm wa Zayn al-Hilm (The Spring of Knowledge and the Adornment of Understanding); and a book of prophetic invocations, Al-Hizb al-A’zam (The Supreme Daily Dhikr).

The importance of marrying a righteous spouse.

The Prophet, (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) that he said: 

“A woman is married for four (reasons): For her wealth, for her lineage, and for her beauty, so choose the one who possesses the Deen (religion) and you will be successful.” [And related by Muslim (2/1086)]

The meaning of the hadeeth:

The people choose wives for various reasons, and they are of four types:

1 – From them are those who strive for the rich and wealthy.

2 – From them are those who strive for good lineage and it is nobility.

3 – From them are those who strive for beauty.

4 – And from them are those who strive for the religious (woman).

Choosing a wife for wealth is not appropriate if she does not adorn herself with Taqwaa (fear of Allaah). In this case, she will desire to have unrestricted freedom and for her husband to be subservient to her puffing herself up over him. This is understood from her actions even if she does not say it.

Likewise is the one who has nobility if her spouse does not have her level of nobility.She will be haughty towards him if she does not adorn herself with Taqwaa (fear of Allaah).

Likewise is the one who has beauty. She will be haughty towards her spouse if she is not adorned with Taqwaa (fear of Allaah), and the one who the Prophet, (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) encouraged to marry is the one possessing the religion. 

This does not mean that the man turns away from a woman possessing wealth, beauty, or nobility. This means that he should not make that his focus and he should choose the one possessing the religion. As for merging that with the Deen (religion), then this is good. The woman possessing the religion has Taqwaa (fear of Allaah). She is heedful of what Allaah has obligated upon her, and she abstains from His prohibitions. As He, The Exalted, has stated,

“Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to theirhusbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allaah orders them to guard.” [Sooratun-Nisaa (4): 34]

She keeps herself chaste, guards her husband’s wealth, she does not exit (the home) without his permission, and she is fully aware of her rights, so she does not exceed them. Being fully aware, even if she possesses the religion, it is inevitable that she will not be perfect and complete. She is deficient in her intellect and Deen (religion). This is not related to correcting her since this is not appropriate to be overlooked.

Likewise for the woman: 

It is upon us to choose a righteous husband. How many women were righteous, but they did not choose a righteous mate and married a failure who pulled her to his ideology and his way? It is also possible that the man is affected by the ideology of his wife as occurred with ‘Imraan ibn Hattaan. He married his cousin to pull her away from the ideology of the Khawaarij and she pulled him to her ideology. So this is more likely to occur to the woman since she is quick and abrupt in changing to another state.

So we ask Allaah for stability and persistence. A companion will have an effect on his companion. Due to this, there is an encouragement of choosing a righteous companion. 

In the Saheehayn (i.e. Bukhaaree and Muslim) from the Hadeeth of Aboo Moosaa, (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) that he said: The Messenger of Allaah, (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“The example of the righteous companion and the evil companion is like the person that sells musk and the blacksmith. The person that sells musk will either give you some or you may buy some from him. The blacksmith will either burn your clothes or you will find a repugnant odor from him”. 

In addition, the Prophet, (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has said,

“A man is on the Deen (religion) of his friend, so beware as to whom you take as a friend.”  

And the poet said, “Do not ask about the person but ask about his companionship, For every person exemplifies his companion.”

Moreover, Allaah has stated about the people of Paradise:

“Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning. A speaker of them will say, ‘Verily, I had a companion (in the world), who used to say, ‘Are you among those who believe. That when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?” (The speaker) said, “Will you look down?” So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.” [Sooratus-Saaffaat (37): 50 – 55]

And He, The Exalted, said:

“And We have assigned for them (devils) intimate companions (in thisworld), who have made fair-seeming to them, what was before them andwhat was behind them. And the word (i.e. the torment) is justified againstthem as it was justified against those who were among the previous generations of jinn and men that had passed away before them. Indeedthey (all) were losers.” [Sooratul-Fussilat (41): 25]

The woman possessing the religion strives for a husband possessing the religion and visa versa as the Prophet, (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has said,

“The souls are recruited soldiers, so whoever amongst them bonded and became mutually acquainted then they were in agreement, and whoever amongst them rejected and disavowed each other then they differed.”  

And in the parable,“And everyone strives for someone similar to him.”

And in another parable,“The birds gather with those similar to them, so everyone strives for someone similar to him.”

Another hadeeth encouraging marrying a righteous wife:Imaam Muslim has stated (2/1090): Muhammad bin ‘Abdullaah bin Numair al-Hamdaanee relayed to me, that ‘Abdullah bin Yazeed relayed to us, that Haywah relayed to us that Sharhabeel bin Shareek informed me that he heard Aboo ‘Abdur Rahmaan al-Hablee relaying on the Messenger of Allaah, (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that he said,

“The Dunyaa (the life of this world) is a commodity and the best of its commodities is a righteous wife”.

“All humans are…

“All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds; and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere; and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry.”

To make your wife feel love for you from the bottom of her heart. Here are 60 islamic guaranteed ways for real couples making love:

1 Make her feel secure; (sakina- tranquillity) QUIT BEING AGGRESSIVE.
2 When you go home say ‘Assalmualikum. ‘ (Greetings) It kicks the shaitaan out of your home!
3 Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) described the wife as a fragile vessel and said to take care of this vessel that’s fragile. Remember that there is goodness in this vessel so treat it gently.
4 When you advise her, do so in privacy, in a peaceful environment. NOT IN PUBLIC as it’s a type of slandering.
5 Be generous to your wife- it keeps her LOVED
6 Move and let her have your seat. It will warm her heart.
7 AVIOD ANGER. HOW? Keep your wudu at all times. Prophet Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam said if you are angry, sit down, if you’re sitting, then lie down. Follow the sunnah!
8 Look good and smell great for your wife. IT keeps the LOVE!
9 Don’t be rigid. It will break you. Prophet Mohammed – Sallal lahu Aleihi Wasallam (SAW means “May the blessings and the peace of Allah be upon him” (Muhammad).) said ‘I am the best amongst you and I am the best to my wife’. Being rigid and harsh will not bring you close to Allah and neither does it make you more of a man.
10 Listen to your wife-BE a GOOD LISTENER
11 YES to flattering NO to arguing. Arguing is like poison in a marriage. Al zawai said ‘When Allah (swt) wants evil for people He will leave them to argue amongst themselves’.
12 Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said to call your wives with the best name, any name she loves to hear. Prophet Mohammed (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) called Khadija ‘Ya Khadija’ as an endearment.
13 Give her a pleasant surprise. I.e. if she loves watermelon, bring her one out of the blue. It will grow the love in her heart.
14 Preserve your tongue! Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said the tongue will throw people in the hell fire so watch what you say and how you say it!
15 All of us have shortcoming. Accept her shortcoming and Allah (swt) will put barakh in your marriage.
16 TELL her you appreciate her. SHOW her you appreciate her.
17 Encourage her to keep good relation with her relative, her mum and dad etc.
18 Speak with her with a topic of HER interest.
19 In front of her relative praise her. Confirm/ realize that she is wonderful, and that she is a good person in front of her family.
20 Give each other gifts. You will love each other more. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said gifts increases love.
21 Get rid of the routine once in a while, surprise her with something, it will get rid of the rust and polish it!
22 Husnul zaan- We have a demand from Allah (swt) that we have to think good of people. Think good of your spouse.
23 Ignore some of her mistakes- pretend you did not see/hear some of her small mistakes. It was a practise of Ali (RA). It’s like putting a hole in your memory. Don’t save it in your memory!
24 Increase the drops of patience, especially when she is pregnant or when she is on her monthly period.
25 Expect and respect her jealousy. Even Maulatona Khadija (ra) used to get jealous.
26 Be humble. If your profession is good, respect that she is looking after your children, she is much more than you, she is the leader at home, her strength is your strength, and her success is your successes.
27 Don’t put your friends above your wife.
28 Help your wife at home. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) used to help his wives at home and he was the best of creation. He used to sew his own clothes.
29 Help her respect your parents, you can’t force her to love them, but she can be helped to gradually love them.
30 Show your wife she is the ideal wife.
31 Remember your wife in your duaas. It will increase the love and protect it.
32 Leave the past. It brings nothing but pain and grief. It’s not your business. The past is for Allah (swt).
33 Don’t try to show her that you are doing her a favour by doing something, like buying food for the house, because in reality we are the courier of sustenance, not the providers, as Allah is the provider. It’s also a way of being humble and thankful to Allah (swt)
34 Shaitaan is your enemy, not your wife. Sometime when husband and wife are talking a fight breaks out, then shaitaan is present there as a third person so he is the real enemy. It is not enough to hate the shaitaan, but you have to see him as an enemy as Allah has commanded. Shaitaan loves divorce. HE comes everyday and sits office and asks the devils what they have done, some say i have made a person steal, or i have made someone drink etc. And one devil will say i have made a man divorce his wife, and he is crowned as the one who has done the best job.
35 Take the food and put it in her mouth. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) taught us this. It’s a blessing. The food doesn’t just go to her stomach, but straight to her heart. It increases the love and mercy between you.
36 Protect your wife from the evil of the shaitaan and mankind. She is like a precious pearl that needs protecting from the envy of human devils and shitaan.
37 Show her your smile. Smile at your wife. IT’S A CHARITY.
38 Small problems/ challenges can become a big problem. Or if there is small thing she didn’t like and you keep repeating them anyway, it will create a wall between you. Don’t ignore them as it can become big.
39 Avoid being harsh hearted and moody. Allah said of prophet (saw) ‘if you were harsh hearted they (the companions) would have left you.’ It confirms prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) was not harsh hearted, so GET RID OF IT.
40 Respect her thinking. It’s strength for you. Show you like her thoughts and suggestions.
41 Help her to achieve her potential and help her to dig and find success within as her success is your success.
42 Respect the intimate relationship and its boundaries. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said she is like a fragile vessel and she needs to be treated tenderly. Sometime she may not be feeling well; you must respect and appreciate that feeling.
43 Help her to take care of the children. Some men think it makes them appear less of a man but in fact it makes you appear a bigger man and more respected, especially in the sight of Allah (swt).
44 Use the gifts of the tongue and sweet talk her. Tell her she looks great, be an artist. Pick and choose gifts of the tongue.
45 Sit down and eat with her and share food with her.
46 Let her know you are travelling. Don’t tell her out of the blue as it’s against Islam. Tell her the date/ time of when you are coming back also.
47 Don’t leave the house as soon as trouble brews.
48 The house has privacy and secrecy. Once you take this privacy and secrecy to your friends and family you are in danger of putting a serious hole in your marriage. This secrecy stays home. Islam is against leaving them out like a garage sale for anyone to come and pick and choose.
49 Encourage each other for ibadah, i.e. plan a trip for hajj or umrah together. It increases and strengthens the love when you help each other perform a good deeds together i.e, do tahajuud together,or go to a dars together etc.
50 Know her rights, not only written in paper but engraved in your heart and engraved in your conscious.
51 Allah( swt) said ‘live with your wives in kindness.’ Treat them with kindness and goodness. It means in happy times and in sadness treat her with goodness and fairness.
52 Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) showed that at the time of intimacy. Don’t jump on your wife like an animal!
53 When you have a dispute with your wife don’t tell everyone. It’s like leaving your wounds open to germs so be careful who you share your problems and disputes with.
54 Show your wife you really care for her health. Good health of your wife is your good health. To care for her health shows her that you love her.
55 Don’t think you are always right. No matter how good you are you have shortcomings. You are not perfect as the only one who was perfect in character was prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam). Get rid of this disease.
56 Share your problems, your happiness, and your sadness with her.
57 Have mercy on her weakness. Have mercy when she is weak or strong as she is the fragile vessel. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said that your wife is a trust in your hand.
58 Remember you are her strength, someone to lean on in times of hardship.
59 Accept her as she is. Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said that women are created from the rib which is bent. If you try to straighten her you will break her (divorce). Prophet (Sallal lahu alaihy Wasallam) said that you may dislike one habit in her but you will like another manner in her so accept her as she is.
60 Have good intention for your wife all the time, Allah monitors your intention and your heart at all times. Allah (s.w.t) said Among His Signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

Free mixing Between the Men and Women…

Translated by Abu Maryam Bilal…

Shaykh Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Aal-Al Sheikh [1311-1389 H (1893-1969 AD)], the former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, said:

Introduction:

Free mixing between men and women can be of three types:

1. Mixing of women with men who are their Mahram (husband and men whom she may never marry, e.g. father, brother, son etc). There is no doubt that this is permissible in Islam.

1. Mixing of women with non-Mahram men for evil and depraved purposes. There is no doubt that this type is not allowed (haram) in Islam.

1. Mixing of women with non-Mahram men in educational institutes, shops, offices, hospitals, get-togethers, parties etc. At first a questioner (asking fatwa) really might think that this does not lead to one gender tempting the other. To expose the reality of this type, we will reply (to the questioner) both briefly and in detail.

Brief Reply:

The brief answer is that Allah made men to have a natural inclination towards women and gave them power over the females. He made women to be naturally inclined towards men though He made them weak and soft in nature. Hence, when free mixing occurs between women and (non-Mahram) men, its effects result in bad intentions, since the human self is inclined towards evil and (carnal) desires make a person blind and dumb, while Satan commands people to do indecent and evil things.

Detailed Reply:

The detailed answer is that Islamic Law (Shari’ah) is based on objectives and the means to achieve them. The means for an objective have the same rulings as the objective itself. Women are the object of desire for men, and Islam blocks the doors leading to members of one sex becoming attached to the members of the opposite gender. The evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah that we will now mention for you will show this clearly.

a) Proofs from the Qur’an:

There are six proofs for this from the Qur’an:

1. Allah says, “
   

   And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), she closed the doors and said: “Come on, O you.” He said: “I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! Truly, he (your husband) is my master! He made my stay agreeable! (So I will never betray him). Verily, the Zalimoon (wrong and evil-doers) will never be successful.” ” (Surah Yusuf 12:23)

   It is a proof (for saying that the third type of free mixing is prohibited) because when there was free-mixing between the wife of the Egyptian minister and Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him), she displayed what was hidden (her love for him) and asked him to have illicit sexual relations with her. However, Allah had Mercy on Yusuf and saved him from her (advances), as He said,

   “So his Lord answered his invocation and turned away from him their plot. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.” (Surah Yusuf 12:34).

   Similarly, if free-mixing occurs between men and women, members of both genders pick for themselves the one they please from members of the opposite gender and use all means to get that person.

1. Allah commanded men and women to lower their gaze. He said,
   

   “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things)…”

   (Surah Al-Noor 24:30-31). This verse is a proof for what we say since Allah ordered believing men and women to lower their gazes, and His ordering something means it is obligatory. Then Allah tells us that it is purer and that only an accidental (unintentional) glance will be forgiven. ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,

   “O ‘Ali, do not follow a glance with another, for you will be forgiven for the first, but not for the second.”

   (Reported by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak (2/212 and 3/133), Ahmed (5/351,353 and 357), al-Tirmithi and others. Al-Hakim said it is authentic according to standard of Muslim, and Al-Dhahabi agreed with him in Talkhis). There are many hadiths with the same meaning. Allah did not order people to lower their gaze except for the fact that looking at objects that are forbidden to see is counted as adultery (zina). Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said,

   “The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is the talk,… and the inner self wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it.”

   [Sahih Al-Bukhari (no. 6612), Muslim (no. 2657), Ahmed (2/276)]. Gazing at forbidden things is adultery since it is enjoying the sight of charms of a woman, results in these images becoming etched in the heart of the person and he tries to commit actual adultery with her. If Islam forbids gazing at her due the resultant evil, then the same evil results from free mixing. Hence, free mixing too is forbidden, since it is the means to the same evil consequences as the forbidden gaze.

1. The evidences that we mentioned earlier that it is not permissible to gaze at women means that it is obligatory upon a woman to cover her entire body, since exposing it or part of it results in (forbidden) glances towards it, which in turn leads the heart to become attached to her and then utilizing the means to obtain her (for illicit relations). This is also the case with free mixing.

1. “And let them (Muslim women) not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment.” (Surah Al-Noor 24:31).

   Even though the act of stamping feet itself is permissible, still Since Allah forbade women from stamping their feet so that it does not become a reason for men to hear the sound of anklets worn by women. This would arouse men’s desire for women, and the same evil consequences result from free mixing.

1. Allah says,
   

   “Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal.” (Surah Ghafir 40:19).

   Ibn ‘Abbas and others said,

   “It is (about) a man who visits the house of a family, which includes a beautiful woman too who passes by him. When the members of the family are not watching him, he looks at her, but when they are alert, he lowers his gaze from her. When they are not watching, he gazes at her and when they are observing him, he lowers his gaze. Allah knows that in his heart he wishes to see her naked and if he could, he would commit adultery with her.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir).

   If Allah described the eye which steals a glance towards what is not permissible for it to look as ‘fraud’, then how about free mixing?

1. Allah ordered women to stay in their homes. He said,
   

   “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance.” (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:33).

   Allah commanded the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who were the most pure and chaste women, to stay in their homes. This commandment is addressed to Muslim women in general too, since it is a well established principle of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) that directed speech is general in scope, except if there is an evidence proving that it is specific to whom it is addressed. However, there is no evidence to make it specific (the Prophet’s wives) in this case. Hence, if women are commanded to remain at home except in case of a necessity that required them to go out, then how can free mixing between them and men of the kind mentioned earlier be permissible? Moreover, in our times women have become too headstrong, have left modest all-covering garments and expose themselves wantonly to the extent of nudity in front of un-related (non-Mahram) men. Husbands and other guardians of women have little control over women whose well-being they are entrusted with.

b) Proofs from the Sunnah

As for the evidence from the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) words and actions, we will mention just ten:

1. Imam Ahmed narrated It was narrated that Umm Humayd the wife of Abu Humayd al-Saa’idi came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said,
   

   “O Messenger of Allah, I like to pray with you.” He said, “I know that you like to pray with me, but your prayer in your room is better for you than your prayer in your courtyard and your prayer in your courtyard is better for you than your praying in your house, and your prayer in your house is better for you than your prayer in the mosque of your people, and your prayer in the mosque of your people is better for you than your prayer in my mosque.” So she issued orders that a prayer-place be prepared for her in the furthest and darkest part of her house, and she used to pray there until she met Allah (i.e., died).”

   [Narrated by Ahmad(6/371), Ibn Khuzaymah in his Saheeh (no. 1689)and others]. Ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said,

   “The woman’s prayer (salah) most beloved to Allah is the one she offers in the darkest part of her home”

   [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah (no. 1691, 1692) and Al-Tabarani in Al-Mu’jam (2/35)]. There are many other narrations to this effect that it is better for a woman to pray at home than the mosque. Hence, because Islam advises women to pray at home and that it is better than even praying in the Prophet’s Mosque behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself, it free mixing should be forbidden with even more reason!

1. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
   

   “The best rows for men are the first rows, and the worst ones the last ones, and the best rows for women are the last ones and the worst ones for them are the first ones.”

   [Sahih Muslim (no. 440), Abu Dawud (no. 678), Al-Tirmithi (no. 224). Al-Tirmithi declared it authentic]. Hence, the Prophet (peace be upon him) told the women that if they came to the mosque, they should firstly remain separate from the worshiping men. Then he described their foremost rows to be worst and the last rows as the better ones. This was only to keep the women praying behind away from mingling with, seeing and having their hearts attached to the men in front of them on hearing voices or watching movements of the men. The Prophet (peace be upon him) described the last rows of men as the worst if there were women in the mosque. The reason behind this is that men in the last rows missed being near the Imam (prayer leader) and instead found positions near the women who are a cause of distraction and may even spoil the prayers by making these men lose concentration and sincerity in worship. Hence, if the Prophet (peace be upon him) expected this to happen in a place of worship, then how about free mixing? Free mixing in which men and women are much closer!

1. Zainab, the wife of ‘Abdullah, reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to us:
   

   “When any one of you comes to the mosque, she should not apply perfume.”

   [narrated by Muslim (no. 443), Ahmed (6/363)]. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said

   “Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from visiting the mosques of Allah, but they may go out (to the mosque) having no perfumed themselves.”

   [Ahmed (2/475) and Abu Dawud (no 565)]. Ibn Daqeeq al-‘Eed said

   “This indicates that it is forbidden for a woman who wants to go to the mosque to wear perfume, because this causes provocation of men’s desires, and it may even be a cause of provoking women’s desire (and sensuality)… The scholars also included other things under this heading of things to be avoided by women who want to go to the mosque, such as beautiful clothes, jewelery that can be seen and excessive adornments”. Ibn Hajar added, “and similarly, mingling with men.”

   See Fath al-Baari, 2/279.

1. Usama bin Zaid reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
   

   I have not left after me any (chance) of turmoil more injurious to men than the harm done to the men because of women.

   [narrated by Al-Bukhari (no. 5069) and Muslim (2740)]. Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) described women as being a fitnah (temptation, trial) for men, how can the temptation and the temptable be placed together? This is not allowed!

1. Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
   

   ” The world is sweet and green (alluring) and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerent in it in order to see how you act. So avoid the (allurement of) women: verily, the first trial for the children of Israel was caused by women.”

   [Sahih Muslim (no. 2742)]. The Prophet (peace be upon him) made it obligatory upon Muslim men to avoid (non-Mahram) women. But how can we act on this hadith in the presence of free mixing? This is impossible, hence free mixing of the sexes is forbidden.

1. Abu Usayd Al-Ansari said he heard the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) say
   

   when he was coming out of the mosque, and men and women were mingled in the road: ‘Draw back, for you must not walk in the middle of the road; keep to the sides of the road.’ Then women were keeping so close to the wall that their garments were rubbing against it.

   [Abu Dawud (no. 5272)]. The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade them from walking in the middle of the road since it leads to temptation, then how can one permit mingling in other places?

1. It is narrated from ‘Umar that when the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) built the mosque, he made a door for women and said,
   

   “Men should not enter from this door.”

   [Abu Dawud Al-Tialisi in his Sunan (no. 1829) and Al-Bukhari in his Al-Tarikh Al-Kabir (1/60)].Hence, the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade men and women to mingle with each other when entering and exiting the doors of the mosque by forbidding them to use the same doors. This prohibition was enforced to block the means to free mixing. If free-mixing between the sexes is forbidden in such a condition, it should be forbidden at other places too with all the more reason!

1. Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said,
   

   “Whenever Allah’s Prophet (peace be upon him) finished his prayers with Taslim (saying salam at the end of prayers), the women would get up and he would stay on for a while in his place before getting up.”

   In another narration, the words are:

   “When the Prophet finished the prayer with Taslim, the women would depart and enter their houses before Allah’s Apostle departed.”

   In the third narration in Bukhari from her,

   “In the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle the women used to get up when they finished their compulsory prayers with Taslim. The Prophet and the men would stay on at their places as long as Allah will. When the Prophet got up, the men would then get up.”

   [Sahih Al-Bukhari (no. 849)]. Here, we see that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prevented mixing between men and women by his action. This action cautions us against free-mixing between the genders in places other than the mosque as well.

1. Mi’qal Bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
   

   “If the head of one of you is pierced with an iron needle, it is better for him than to touch a woman who is not legal for him (to touch).”

   [Narrated by Al-Tabarani in Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabir (20/213), Ibn Abi Shaybah in Al-Musannaf (4/341) and the narrators were declared trustworthy by Al-Haytami and Al-Mundhiri].

1. Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said,
   

   “It is better for man to press (against himself) a pig smeared with clay and mud, than to press his shoulder against the shoulder of a woman not legal for him (to touch).” [Al-Tabarani 4/326, though Al-Mundhiri said that a narrator in the chain is extremely weak].

   Hence, the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade men from touching women (and vice versa), whether with or without a barrier (like a cloth etc) if he is not her Mahram due to its evil consequences. So, free mixing between the sexes too is forbidden for the same reason.

Conclusion:

A person who ponders on the evidence presented by us will clearly see that the opinion that free mixing among men and women does not lead to fitnah (trials, temptation) is a figment of imagination of a few people. However, in reality, it does lead to fitnah and that is why Islam forbade from it; in order to nip the evil in the bud. The special circumstances which are due to necessity or extreme need in places of worship, e.g. the mixing of men and women in the Grand Mosque at Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina are exceptions to the rule. We ask Allah to guide the misguided among the Muslims and to increase the guidance of those Muslims who are guided. We ask Allah to make the Muslims rules to do good, leave evil and physically stop the foolish people. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, Near (by His Knowledge) and Responsive!

I Appeal to your seance of Haya My Muslim sisters will you respond?

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيم

 ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH, AND MAY HIS PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON MUHAMMAD (SAW), HIS FAMILY, HIS COMPANIONS AND HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.

What is Haya?

Haya itself is derived from the word hayat which means life. This term covers a wide number of concepts. In English, it may be translated as modesty, shyness, self-respect, bashfulness, shame, honor, humility, etc. It’s like an ornament of which beatifies a girl, a piece of jewel that no money can buy, no shop can stock and no tailor can stitch, it’s taught, passed down, learned and practiced, it’s an art form which is mastered through Islam, of one of the basic needs which a woman should possess,to be a modest Muslimah.

No Haya, No Life.

In contrast to the moral ambiguity of these words, haya refers to an extremely desirable quality that protects us from all evil. It is a natural feeling that brings us pain at the very idea of committing a wrong.

Along with its unique connotation comes the unique value of haya in Islam. Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “Every religion has a distinct call. For Islam it is haya.” [Ibn Majah]. Another famous hadith says: “There are more than 70 branches of Iman (Faith). The foremost is the declaration that there is no god except Allah and the least of it is removing harmful things from the path. And haya is a branch of Iman.” [Bukhari, Muslim]. As some Muhaditheen point out, the number 70 is a figure of speech. What the hadith tells us is that the declaration of faith is the most important part of Iman but that is not all. Iman also has to reflect itself in all kinds of actions in real life. Moreover, haya is a centerpiece of most of the actions that Iman calls for. It is the basic building block of Islamic morality. When it is lost everything is lost.

Islam’s laws about hijab, its ban against free mixing of men and women, its teachings about gender-relations — all of these reflect a deep concern for haya.

For men and women who have not lost their haya, these come naturally. There is a moving story from the earlier Islamic period about a woman who learnt that her young son had been lost in a battle. She ran in a panic to confirm the news, but before that she took time to make sure that she covered herself fully in accordance with the newly revealed laws of hijab. She was asked how did she manage to do that in a time of great personal tragedy. She replied: “I have lost my son, but I did not lose my haya.”

And for centuries afterwards Muslim societies did not lose their haya. When Muslim lands came under the western colonial rule about three centuries ago, they were faced with a civilization that was no different than the pre-Islamic Jahilya on the issue of haya. While it did not have better morality, it did have better guns. At the gunpoint of military and political domination, Muslim societies were made to loose their grip on haya on the collective scale. The powerful and attractive media became an important instrument in this war. First it was books, magazines and newspapers. Then radio. Now it is television. Together they projected ideas and images detrimental to haya. They made indecency attractive. The pace was increased tremendously by television, which has shown more firepower than all the previous media combined.

And my Appeal to you, do not follow the way of non Muslims there place is hell fire in everlasting life what will be the result with you if you follow then nothing but the similar,so wake up before its too late ,Wake up before you lost you life of iman or islam…

Narrated by Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet said, “Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya is a part of faith.” (Bukhari)

Modesty is part of our character, a part of our faith, something we should be proud to have attained: Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (ra): The Prophet (saws) passed by a man who was admonishing his brother regarding Haya and was saying, “You are very shy, and I am afraid that might harm you.” On that, Allah’s Apostle said, “Leave him, for Haya is (a part) of Faith.” (Bukhari) Now the above hadith is also a form of proof that “shyness” is not just something regarding women but also an attribute that believing men should have, for it is an indication if their fear of Allah and an indication of the value of their Deen,

There are two different types of haya—the good haya and the bad. The good haya is to be ashamed to commit a sin or a thing which Allah and His Messenger (saw) has forbidden. The bad haya is to feel ashamed to do a thing which Allah and His Messenger (saw) has ordered us to do.

Anyone who is a believer, he/she should build their personalities and their character with the good dimensions of haya. The most important is that he/she must be shy of doing ANYTHING displeasing to Allah (swt), with the belief that he/she will have to answer for all their deeds. If one develops a sense such as this one, it will help the believer to obey all of Allah’s command and to stay away from sins. Once the believer realises that Allah (swt) is watching us all the time and we will have to answer to every move we make in this dunya (world), he/she would not neglect any order from Allah or His Messenger (saws). So the stronger this sense of haya becomes, the more it motivates one to make sure that Allah (swt) doesn’t see him/her doing anything prohibited. The way to develop this haya is that one must keep learning and absorbing more knowledge and applying it to their lives.

The type of haya which is not only against the teachings of our Prophet (saw) but it is also solid proof of the weakness of someone’s Iman. This negative aspect revolves around a person’s shamefulness or shyness of doing something that Allah (swt) has ordered us to do through the Qur’an or our Prophet’s (saw) Sunnah. This constitutes the shamefulness or embarrassment of doing a lawful act or something that is ordered upon us from Allah (swt). Meaning for someone not to follow an obligation of Islam, due the fact of being shy in front of others about it. This is totally forbidden because then one is giving the people of this dunya more respect than the One who Created this whole universe. It also means if someone is shy or afraid to seek knowledge of Islam for worldly reasons, because they do not want others to see them or to know of their ignorance. This once again goes contrary to what Allah (swt) has told us in the Qur’an, which is to seek knowledge and preach it to others. In this society there are many examples. People will go out an get degrees in law schools, or science, or engineering and they will put four to six years of their lives studying for this stuff that will only benefit them in this world. Why? You ask? Well most likely, in this society people including Muslims, choose their careers according to how much money they will make and what status they will have in this society as to being a lawyer or a doctor etc. They do not realize that in Islam the BEST stature of a Muslim is that of a “daii” or a teacher of Islam.

Most important aspects of haya, for women 

1.Guarding their chastity and their modesty.

2.To keep hidden themselves and their adornments from all men lawful to them in marriage. The believing and following women are ashamed of disobeying Allah (swt).   3.Shy of the opposite gender in this society because of what they might experience if strange men look at them and lastly they have haya because they are

4.Ashamed of going out in public and committing this grave sin of displaying their beauty is public. Abdullah ibn Umar (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “Indeed haya (modesty) and Iman are Companions. When one of them is lifted, the other leaves as well.” (Baihaqi) Modesty (haya) and maintaining one’s honour and dignity are of primary importance in preserving the moral fibre of any society. This is why modesty has been called the ornament of a woman, which protects her from many sins and which prevents ill-intentioned men from daring to have bad thoughts about her. This haya has been made a part of her nature to safeguard her from being abused by immoral men. There are two forms of Haya, inner and outer:

Inner: 1.Speech 2.Actions 3.Langauge 4.Mind

Outer: 1.Dress Code 2.Walk 3.Gaze

Narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik, the Prophet (saw) said: When lewdness is a part of anything, it becomes defective; and when haya is a part of anything it becomes beautiful. (Tirmidhi)

So it is only obvious that Hijab plays an extremely important role in regards to Haya. For Hijab prevents lewdness and Haya backs this up and then person’s Iman becomes even stronger. So both things work together in a partnership. At the time of our beloved Prophet (saw) as soon as the verses of Hijab were revealed, all the Quraish and Ansar ran home to their wives and daughters and close female relatives to tell them to cover themselves. The ones who had veils used them and the ones who did not have veils made some right away. For instance the following hadith tells us: Narrated by Aisha (ra): May Allah have mercy on the early immigrant women. When the verse “That they should draw their veils over their bosoms” was revealed, they tore their thick outer garments and made veils from them. And when the verse “That they should cast their outer garments over themselves” was revealed, the women of Ansar came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing outer garments. (Abu Dawood) This indicates that all these women wanted to guard their modesty which is why they followed out the orders of Allah. Yet, another verse talk about the level of modesty in Aisha (ra): Narrated Aisha (ra): “I used to enter my house where Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) was and take off my garment, saying that only my husband and my father were there; but when Umar was buried along with them, I swear by Allah that I did not enter it without having my clothes wrapped round me owing to modesty regarding Umar.” (at-Tirmidhi and Ahmed) If women in today’s society choose not to wear the veils, but some belief in their hearts, than they might be categorised as Muslim women but not Mumineen. The truth is that Haya is a special characteristic of a Mu’min ( believing, practicing Muslims). People who are ignorant of the teachings of the Prophet (saws) do not concern themselves with Haya and Honour. Haya and Iman are interdependent; therefore either they both exist together or they both perish. Thus, the Prophet (saws) has said in one hadith, “When there is no haya left, then do as you please.”

Modesty for Muslim Men and Women.

While modest behavior varies from person to person, guidelines do exist in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The code of modesty for both men and women includes:

1.Lowering the gaze and avoiding flirtatious speech and conduct

2.Avoiding close physical contact with unrelated members of the opposite sex

3.Observing modest or Islamic dress according to the Qur’an and Sunnah

4.Not drawing unnecessary attention to oneself.

“surely Allah (is one who)has haya and is the protector .He loves Haya and people who over each other’s faults”.(Bukhari)

Haya and Iman are interdependent; therefore either they both exist together or they both perish. Thus, the Prophet (saws) has said in one hadith, “When there is no haya left, then do as you please.” Abdullah ibn Umar (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “Indeed haya (modesty) and Iman are Companions. When one of them is lifted, the other leaves as well.” (Baihaqi) This is non muslims, It is these people who have been struggling to bring Muslim women out of Hijab into immodesty and indecency. They have adopted the lifestyles of the disbelievers more than the traditions of the Prophet (saws). Such people are in a dilemma. On the one hand, they desire to freely look at the half-clad bodies of their wives and daughters of other Muslims on the streets; and on the other hand, they do not have the courage to deny the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Prophet (saws). Neither can they say they have given up Islam, nor can they bear to see Muslim women wear Hijab and showing some Haya. Actually the fact is, indulging in indecency for so long has killed the sense of modesty (haya) which Islam had commanded them to preserve. It is this natural desire of maintaining one’s honour which compels men to protect the respect and honour of their women. What these men and women do not understand is that if the women do not observe Hijab and do not develop Haya inside of them, they will be entertaining those who have taken the path of Sheytan. Such as the following hadith:

Malik b Uhaimir reported that he heard the Prophet (saw) saying that, “Allah (swt) will not accept any good deeds or worship of an immodest and vulgar person.” We asked “Who is a vulgar and immodest person?” He replied, “A man who’s wife entertains Ghair-mehram men.”

Now the word “entertains” implies that she is showing off her beauty instead of keeping herself covered up. If the Muslim brothers of today’s society knew the benefits of haya and hijab hey would definitely not tolerate the opposite. At the time of our beloved Prophet (saws) the husbands could not even imagine their wives leaving the houses un-veiled let alone go out and beautify themselves for other men to get “free looks”. The following hadith shows this fact clearly: Narrated by Al-Mughira: Sa’d bin ‘Ubada said, “I will not hesitate killing my wife with a sword if I see her with another man” This news reached Allah’s Apostle who then said, “You people are astonished at Sa’d’s Ghira (self-respect, honour). By Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah’s Ghira, He has made unlawful shameful deeds and sins done in open and in secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and the givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant Paradise (to the doers of good).” ‘Abdul Malik said, “No person has more Ghira than Allah.” (Sahih Bukhari)

So this should be enough to understand why Hijab is so important for women to establish Haya in themselves and live the lives of true mu’mineen.

Once Again ponder on it how much haya is important for you to have…

Firstly Allah loves Haya. We know this by the following hadith: ” Surely Allah (is One who) has haya and is the Protector. He loves haya and people who cover each others faults.”(Bukhari)

Secondly, Haya itself is a Greatness of Islam as our Prophet indicated: “Every way of life has a innate character. The character of Islam is haya.” Or “Every Deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty (haya).” (Abu Dawood)

Thirdly, Haya only brings good and nothing else. Our Prophet (saw) said: “Haya does not bring anything except good.” (Bukhari)

Fourthly, Haya is a very clear indication of our Iman. As the Prophet (saw) had mentioned to the Ansar who was condemning is brother about being shy: “Leave him, for Haya is (a part) of Faith.” (Bukhari)

 Fifthly, last but not least, Haya leads us to PARADISE. As the Prophet saws) told us: “Haya comes from Iman; Iman leads to Paradise. Obscenity comes from antipathy; and antipathy leads to the fire.” (Bukhari)

 sixthly,The Prophet (saws) said: “Haya and Trustworthiness will be the first to go from this world; therefore keep asking Allah for them.” (Baihaqi)

In conclusion,The social media generation has exploded, obliterating the ounce of decency left in the Muslim society, now shamelessness has reached a all new height, in front of family members, who ‘like’ such actions, and even the surprised gasp has disappeared. If the core of the subject is analyzed there is a deeper issue of lack of self worth, lack of self respect to throw yourself into the path of a strange man and lure him into sinful activities, to make yourself look and feel better if another is enjoying the carnal nature of your beauty, So value your decency, your modesty, your manners, it’s what beautifies a woman, it’s one of the core necessities of a girl to make her a lady. Do not indulge in vain or immoral talk, do not inject foul words to make yourself more acceptable to the modern society, if they do not appreciate your decency, then it is them at fault and you need to find new friends who do appreciate the value of modesty, decency, and good manners. Change your friends, not your good habits, because bad friends, can become bad habits and can lead to destruction of the soul.Save your soul and your relation ship with Allah becouse no one help you in grave u have to go alone not ur family nor friends and no the socity for what u disobey Allah to impress,wake up before death reach to you it can be the next second you live repent Allah SWT he love those who ask for forgiveness…

“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty…….” (Qur’an: Surah Nur, 30-31)

I Ask Allah for the guidance of this ummah,and all of us to the word,deed and actions which please Allah not this world and our goal should be to attain the pleasure of Allah and everlasting life of paradise…

ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH, AND MAY HIS PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON MUHAMMAD (SAW), HIS FAMILY, HIS COMPANIONS AND HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT
