Introduction All praise is due to Allah ^fe Lord of the worlds. We praise Him and ask His forgiveness and guidance. We seek refuge in Allah ^fe from the evil in ourselves and the bad consequences of our vile actions. Whomsoever Allah ^& guides no one can misguide. And whomsoever He misguides no one can guide. I testify to the fact that there is nothing in the heavens above nor the earth below, which deserves to be worshipped except Allah $> . I also testify to the fact that Muhammad Ibn Abdullah ^S is his last Prophet and Messenger. The most truthful speech is the book of Allah ând the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ^S. The worst of matters is the newly invented ones. And every newly invented matter is a bid' ah and every bid' ah is a going astray, and every going astray leads to the Naar (Hell fire).

"O you who believe! Fear Allah as He is supposed to be feared and do not die unless you die as Muslims " lu
114
Surah Al-Imran 3:102
"0 jwm wAg believe! Fear Allah and when you speak, speak straight to the point He wilt make your actions right for you and forgive you your wrong doings. Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger has won a mighty victory". 115 On many occasions I have attended Islamic conferences, symposiums, lectures and khutbas in different parts of the world. Unfortunately I have heard many Muslim speakers delivering fiery lectures on Islamic topics in Arabic and English and they often quote fabricated Ahaadith knowingly or unknowingly, and their audience were totally unaware that these ahaadith are Unsound. These fabricated ahaadith, if they are left unexposed, the Muslims will eventually believe in them and think they are a part and parcel of Islam. And this is exactly what is happening in the Muslim communities today around the world It is for this reason that I have decided to compile this book; the first of its kind in the English language. It is impermissible for a person to quote fabricated ahaadith and give Muslims the impression that the hadith is sahih (authentic). These fabricated ahaadith that are floating around the Muslim communities in different countries are very dangerous to the spiritual well being of the Muslims. Especially those which promote bid 'ah, superstition, kufr, shirk, male chauvinism, racism, nationalism etc. Additionally the Holy Prophet ^S
ii5
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:70-71
said, "He who tells a lie on me intentionally, let him take his seat in the hell fire ". 3 The scholars of Hadith differ as to whether or not the person who lies about the Prophet ^8 is a kafir. Some say he is a faasiq (weak Muslim) while others say he is a kafir. I prefer the opinion that says he is a kafir because lying about the Prophet ^S is actually lying about Allah ^ .

The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad 2^S has been accepted as an important source of Islamic law, next in importance to the Holy Qur'an. This status of the Sunnah has remained unchallenged and undisputed throughout the centuries. There have been many differences among Muslims in their juristic opinions, but the authority of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ^*i has never been denied by any jurist. No Muslim is allowed to deny the authority of the Sunnah because Allah $& has made it compulsory on us all to believe and follow all the authentic traditions of the Holy Prophet ^^ In regards to this Allah && said:
"Say, (O Muhammad ^S to mankind) if you really love Allah then follow me (ie. my Sunnah). Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" 4
3 Sahih Al-Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 1, p.83, No. 107. 4 Surah Al- Imran 3:31

'* The above-mentioned ayahs are clear evidence that it is compulsory on us to follow the Prophet ^. Thus he who denies the authority of the Sunnah is a kafir outside the fold of Al-Islam. Had it not been for the sunnah we wouldn't know how to pray, fast and perform Hajj because these rituals were not explained to us in the Holy Qur'an. Because the Sunnah is the second source for learning Islam after the Holy Qur'an, the scholars have paid a lot of attention to its memorisation, compilation, explanation and classification. They have meticulously separated the sahih (sound) traditions from the fabricated ones. They were able to do so because Allah && has given this ummah something, which He didn't give to the people before us. This special gift is Isnaad i.e. a chain of transmitters

This is the reason Allah && gave the Hadith scholars the tawfeeq (ability) to differentiate between the strong ahaadith and the fabricated ones I have tried to the best of my ability to translate these fabricated ahaadith word for word, without adding my own opinion and taste to the original text. Also the reader must always bear in mind that I did not classify these ahaadith myself, rather the classification was done by the scholars of the pious predecessors whose speciality was Hadith. I did not stop at compiling and translating these fabricated ahaadith but instead I refuted most of them i.e. the ones I consider to be responsible for spreading dangerous ideas among the Muslims; ideas like superstitions, kufr, shirk, male chauvinism, racism, bid' ah, nationalism and fanatical allegiance to a particular school of thought I pray Allah && will make this humble effort of mine be for the sake of His countenance And

Hadith 1 Conversation in the Masjid eats up good deeds the way animals consume grass. This was related by Al Haafidh Al-Iraqi who said it was a fabricated Hadith. Abdul Wahhaab As-Subki in the book Tabaqaat As-ShaafTia (Vol.4, p. 145) said this Hadith is devoid of an Isnaad i.e. an authentic chain of transmitters. It is permissible for Muslims to converse in the mosque providing the conversation does not include backbiting, slandering, tale bearing, ridiculing, kufr, shirk and deviation from the Qur'an and Sunnah. While conversing the Muslims are not allowed to raise their voices because this behaviour is not befitting of a Muslim in the mosque. Moreover Allah $&> has forbidden the raising of voices in the mosque in Surah Hujuraat verse 2.
"0 you who believe do no raise your voices above the voice of the Holy Prophet" It is also makruh (disliked) to speak unnecessarily after the Iqaamah is called. It is haraam to speak when the Athaan is being called. Thus the Muslims are obliged to keep quiet and repeat the athaan softly behind the muathin. As for speaking in the mosque on Jumu'ah day while the Imam is delivering the khutba, this is totally haraam. Hence the one who speaks has no Jumu'ah. On the authority of Ibn Abbas (ra), the Messenger of Allah ^g sa id ''Anyone who speaks on Jumu 'ah day while the
12
Imam is delivering the khutba, his similitude is like a donkey carrying books; and the one who says to him be quiet, is guilty of speaking during the sermon and thus he the speaker has no
Jumu'ah " 8

Narrated Abu Huraira (ra), Allah's Apostle ^ said: "When the Imam is delivering the khutba and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen then no doubt you have done an evil act " 9 The sin of speaking during the sermon on Friday is so grave it renders your Jumu'ah null and void, Even to say to your brother keep quiet is impermissible. It is also haraam to speak when the Holy Qur'an is being recited. Hence Allah && said: -- * ^ ' * ? "" * .- ^ * 9j * '*- * ~
"Whenever the Qur'an is being recited listen attentively to it and keep quiet in order that you may obtain AIIah[s mercy. " 10 HADITH 2 Beautify your dining table with herbs for verily it drives away the devil upon reciting Bismillah hirrahmaa niraheem.

Love the Arabs for three reasons; because I Muhammad (Allah's apostle) am an Arab, the Holy Qur'an was revealed in Arabic and the language of Jannah will be Arabic. Related by Al Haakim in his book Al Mustadrak (Vol.4, p 87). The great Hadith scholar Abu Haatim in his book Jarh Wa Ta'deel, The Invalidation and Acceptance of Transmitters of Hadith' (Vol.3, p.359), said this Hadith is false. In Islam we love people if they are mindfiil of their duties to Allah $& We do not show love to people because of their race, language, tribe, nationality or wealth. The Arab governments in the world today happen to be the greatest enemies of Islam and Muslims, thus we are not allowed to love these despotic leaders simply because they are Arabs, this is so because we are obliged to practise Al Walaa

He didn't fight against Persians or Romans but instead he fought against his own people the Arabs of Quraish. In this battle Umar (ra) killed his own uncle and Abu Ubaida Ibn Al Jarraah (ra) killed his own father.

This Hadith was narrated by Abdur Rahman Ibn Zaid Ibn Aslam who the scholars of Hadith say is very weak. AdhDhahaabee said this hadith was fabricated and there is a person called Abdullah Ibn Muslim AJ Firee who was found in the chain of transmitters who was a known liar. Ibn Hibbaan said Abdullah Ibn Muslim was in the habit of fabricating ahaadith. He used to fabricate ahaadith and claimed that he heard them from Laith and Malik. The view held by the scholars that this Hadith is a baseless fabrication is further supported by the fact that it contradicts the Holy Qur'an in two places, firstly that it declares that Allah the most High forgave Adam >&& because of his Tawassul by means of the Prophet ^S. Whereas Allah && the mighty and majestic says:

"Then Adam received from his Lord words. And his Lord pardoned him and accepted his repentance 9 verily He is One who forgives (accepts repentance) the most merciful". 13 The great commentator of the Qur'an Ibn Abbas (ra) explained these words and this explanation is contrary to the above-fabricated Hadith. Tabari reports 1/193 from Ibn Abbas (ra) concerning the meaning of the ayah, he said: "O my Lord did you not create me with your hands?" He said: "Yes indeed. " He said: "Did you not breathe life into me? " He said: "Yes Indeed, " He said: " my Lord did you not make me an inhabitant of Your garden?" He said: "Yes indeed. " He said:
13 Surah Baqarah 2:37 17
"Does not your mercy prevail over Your wrath?" He said: "Yes indeed " He said: "Were I to repent and make amends will You return me to the garden?" He said: "Yes indeed." He, Ibn Abbas said: So that is His saying "Then Adam received from his Lord words... "Al Haakim has classified this Hadith as authentic and Adh-Dhahaabee agreed with him. Allah $&> told us exactly what Adam and his wife Eve said when they sought His forgiveness.

" 14 There are various Sufi orders in the Muslim world today who rely on this fabricated Hadith to practise the haraam types of tawassul. The Arabic word tawassul meanp to draw near to what one desires earnestly. Tawassul can be halaal or haraam. The halaal tawassul comes in three different forms. The first of which is to draw near to Allah ^fe and seek His pleasure and forgiveness by doing righteous deeds like salah, zakah, sadaqa, thikr, fasting, hajj, umrah, reading Qur' an, jihad etc. One of the most splendid examples of drawing near to Allah ^fe with righteous deeds and consequently attaining what one desires from Allah 3fe by virtue of the pious deed is the

following story. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (ra) has related that he heard the Holy Prophet ^5 recount (he following: Three persons of a people before you were on a journey when they were over taken by a storm and therefore they took shelter in a cave. A rock slipped down from a mountain and blocked the exit of the cave. One of them said: "The only way for deliverance left is to beseech Allah in the name of some virtuous deed. "Thereupon one of them supplicated, "O Lord my parents were very old, I used to offer them their nightly drink of milk before my children and other members of the family. One day I went astray far away in search of green trees and could return only after my parents had gone to sleep. When I had milked the animals and brought them their nightly drink they were fast asleep, but I did not like to disturb them, nor would I give any part of the milk to my children and other members of the family till after my parents had their drink Thus with the vessel in hand, I awaited their awakening till the break of dawn, while the children cried out of hunger at my feet When they woke up they had their drink. O Lord, if I did this seeking only thy pleasure then do thou relieve us of the distress wrought upon us by this rock " Thereupon, the rock moved a little but not enough to let them pass out Then the second man supplicated: "O Lord I had a cousin whom I loved more passionately than any man loves a woman. I tried to seduce her but she would have none of me, till in a season of great hardship due to famine, she approached me for help and I gave her one hundred and twenty dinars on condition that she would have sexual intercourse with me. She agreed, and when we got together and I was going to have intercourse with her, she pleaded: "Fear Allah and do not take my virginity u n lawfully. " Whereupon I moved away from her despite the fact that I desired her passionately, and I let her keep the money I had given her. O Lord, if I did this seeking only thy pleasure, do thou remove the distress in which we find ourselves. " Again the rock moved a little but not enough to let 19
them pass out. Then the third man supplicated: "O Lord, I hired some labourers and paid them their dues, but one of them left leaving behind what was due to him. I invested it into the business and the business prospered greatly. After a time the labourer came back and said: "O servant of Allah, hand over to me my wages. " I said to him: all that you see is yours, camels, goats, cattle and servants. He said: "Don 't play jokes with me servant of Allah. " / assured him 1 am not joking. So he took all of it sparing nothing. Lord if I did this seeking only thy pleasure, do thou relieve us of our distress. " IJie rock then moved away, and all three came out of the cave safe and sound l5 The above mentioned Hadith has many lessons which

1 . The obligation of placing ones trust in Allah <&& in times of distress. 2. The permissibility of using ones pious deeds as a means of tawassul to accomplish ones aim and objective from Allah ^fe . 3. The high merit of looking after one's parents. 4. The importance of returning things that were entrusted to you. 5. The high merit of avoiding unlawful sexual intercourse. Since all three men drew near to Allah $& by the virtues of their pious deeds and beseeched Him to alleviate their plight by the excellence of their righteous actions, there can be no doubt that this hadith is one of the most splendid examples of the lawful tawassul. Hence it is permissible for a Muslim today to say to Allah ^ : O Allah $ grant me your forgiveness due to my fast of Ramadhan or Hajj or Jihad etc. You can use all these pious deeds as tawassul as long as you did them solely for the pleasure of Allah $> and not for fame or fortune.

The second halaal form of tawassul is to draw near to Allah 5fe and seek his help, blessings or forgiveness by calling upon Him with some of His names and attributes. In this regard Allah ^fe said: "Unto Allah belongs the most perfect and beautiful names, so call upon Him by these names. " l6 Hence it is permissible for a Muslim to say in his du'aa: "O Allah ^ I ask You by Your name being the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy to bestow upon me safety and blessings." Or another believer who may say. "O Allah ^, I call upon You with Your perfect names and attributes The Forgiving, forgive me of my blunders those that are concealed and those that are revealed. I call upon You by virtue of the fact that Your name is Al Ghafoor hence none can forgive me but You." The evidence from the sunnah in support of this second type of tawassul which is halaal is his 2^ saying: "Whoever finds himself in a trouble and says: "0 Allah I am Your slave, son of Your male and female slave. My forelock is in Your hand. Your judgement is continually operative upon me. Your verdict concerning me is just. I beseech Thee with every name which is

Yours, with which You named Yourself taught to anyone from Your creation or sent down in Your book, or which You kept to Yourself in the know ledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Our 'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the removal of my sadness and of my anxiety. " Then Allah ^ will
SurahAlA*raaf7;180, 21
remove his anxiety and sorrow and replace it with joy.
77
Anas (ra) reports about the Holy Prophet : ^& that when a matter grieved the Prophet ^ he would say: "O Ever-living, O Sustainer and Protector of all that exists, by Your Mercy I beg for Your aid. " I8 So these ahaadith and their like show the permissibility of tawassul to Allah ^ the Most High, with one of His names or His attributes, and that this is something which Allah $fe loves and is pleased with. Therefore it was done by Allah's Messenger ^S and Allah && , the Blessed and Most High says:

"And whatsoever the Messenger ^8 gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you abstain from it " J9 The third type of tawassul which is lawful is seeking a means of nearness to Allah ^, the Most High by the supplication of a righteous man. If a Muslim falls into great difficulty or a great misfortune befalls him and he knows that he has been very negligent with regard to Allah, the Blessed and Most High. And he wishes to ask another Muslim who he knows to be a proper practising Muslim, one who is God fearing and is mindful of his or her duties to Allah ^; to make du'aa

for him and beseech Allah ^fe to remove from him his difficulties and hardships. The example of this prescribed type of tawassul are numerous in the sunnah of our beloved Prophet ^S and the traditions of his noble companions. Anas Ibn Malik (ra) reports saying "The people were afflicted with drought, in the time of the Prophet ^8 so whilst the Prophet was delivering the khutba (upon the minbar) standing, on the day of Jumu 'ah, a Bedouin stood and in a narration: entered from the people of the desert through a door which faced the minbar near to a house sold for the repayment of a debt , and Allah *s Messenger ^S was standing. So he stood facing Allah 's Messenger ^S and said "O Messenger of Allah, the livestock are dying and the children are hungry [and in a narration: destroyed] [and in another narration: the horses are dying and the sheep are dying] {and in another wording: the cattle are dying and the roads are cut off] so supplicate to Allah for us (thai he should give us rain) and in another: that he should give us a downpour. So he raised up his hands and supplicated (until I saw the whiteness of his armpits): O Allah bless us with rain, O Allah bless us with rain, and the people raised up their hands along with him supplicating, and he did not mention that he had turned his cloak inside out, nor that he faced the Qiblah, and by Allah we could not see any clouds nor any trace of clouds nor anything, and there was no building or house between us and Sal , and in a narration: Anas (ra) said 'And the sky was clear as glass.

out and waded through the water until we reached our homes [and in a narration: and it was such that a person could hardly reach his home]. So it continued to rain that day and the next and the next, and that which followed, until the following Jumu 'ah and it had not ceased so the water wells of Madinah were filled [and in a narration: so by Allah we did not see the sun for a week]. Then that Bedouin or someone else stood up and in a narration: then a man entered from that door in the next Jumu 'ah and Allah 's Messenger "J^S was standing giving a khutba, so he stood facing him and he said, il Messenger of Allah, buildings are being destroyed, [and in a narration: houses are collapsing, roads are cut off and the cattle are dying] [and in a narration: travellers cannot proceed and the roads are blocked and livestock are being drowned]. So supplicate to Allah to withhold it for us so the Prophet ^5 smiled and he raised his hands and said: "O Allah, around us and not upon us, Allah upon the hills and river beds arid places where trees grow. So he did not point with his hand in any direction except that the clouds cleared way producing a clear circular hole [and in a narration: so I looked up and saw the clouds separating around Al-Madinah to the right and the left forming a sort of crown and in another narration so the clouds cleared away from Al-Madinah just as clothes are removed and it was now raining all around us, but not raining upon us at all [in another narration: not a drop] and we went out walking in the sunshine]. So Allah showed them a miracle of His Prophet î and His response to his du T aa. The valley of Oanart was flooded for a month, and no one came from outside except that he told of abundant rain. 20 The above hadith is evidence for the permissibility of using a righteous person as tawassul i.e. by asking him to beseech Allah ^ on our behalf to bestow on us the blessings
20 Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 2, p.26, No.55. 24
that are desired. Consequently Allah $&> grants such blessings because the supplicant who is a pious person is dear to Him Allah *&. Another example of making tawassul with a pious person is as follows: Anas Ibn Malik (ra) narrates from Umar Ibn AlKhattaab (ra) that when the people suffered from drought he used to ask Al-Abbaas Ibn Al-Muttalib (ra) to pray for rain for them. He used to say: "0 Allah we used to request our Prophet ^ to supplicate to you for rain ie. we used to make tawassul to you O Allah with the Prophetic for rain, and You blessed us with rain Now we use the uncle of the Prophet 2^8 as tawassul by asking him to supplicate to You for rain so grant us rain " The narrator, Anas (ra) said then it rained, 21 What the saying of Umar (ra) [Innaa Kunnaa Natawassulu ilaika Bi nabiyyinaa wa innaa Natawassulu ilaika Bi ammi Nabiyyinaa] means is: We used to go to our Prophet

^KS and use him as tawassul by asking him to supplicate for us so that it will rain. And now that he ^fe has passed on to the company of the highest Angels and it is not now possible for him to supplicate for us, then now we go to the uncle of our beloved Prophet 3^5 Al-Abbaas (ra), and ask him to supplicate for us. There should be no doubt that Umar (ra) used Al-Abbaas (ra) the uncle of the Prophet ^S as a means of tawassul because of his closeness to the Prophet ^S. The great scholar Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalaani attested to this fact. Thus he said in his book Fathul Baari: We learnt from this story with Umar (ra) and Abbaas (ra) the excellence of using pious people to make du'aa for us. And the excellence of calling
Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English ) Vol. 2. p,66. No. 123. 25
upon Ahul Bait to pray for us. Ibn Hajar arrived at this conclusion because of the words used by the Prophet's ^s uncle Al-Abbaas (ra) whilst he was supplicating. He said: "O Lord, indeed there's no disaster exce pt d#e to our disobedience. And there is no removing of this disaster except by our repentance. And the people have approached me to pray for them due to my closeness to Your Prophet m- n With these previous mentioned evidences we can safely conclude that the only halaal and prescribed tawassul are the following three types: 1 . Tawassul by means of a righteous deed, which the person who is supplicating has done, or he may promise Allah $& to do it in the future. 2. Tawassul by means of the Perfect and Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allah the Most High. 3. Tawassul by means of the supplication made by a righteous man or woman. The haraam types of tawassul will now be looked at There are some Muslims in the world today who performed types of tawassul that are not prescribed; hence they do not fall into any of the three halaal previous mentioned types of tawassul. These Muslims call upon Allah ^ by saying: "O Allah forgive me due to the glory of Muhammad 2^8" or "O Allah forgive me due to the right that Muhammad has over You;" Some of them even go as far as to approach the grave of the Prophet 2^S and stand by it and say: "O Muhammad beg Allah to forgive me." or "Beg Allah ^ to bless me with such and

such a thing." These types of tawassul are haraam because they are not prescribed. In fac t Abu Hanifa and his two students Ab u Yusuf jlQ^ Hasan A sh-Shaybaani hated these ^ygesjof_tawassul. These types of tawassul are hatecTbythe guided Muslims for the following reasons. We are not supposed to call upon Allah 3& due to the glory of Muhammad ^8 because the glory of Muhammad ^ is imperfect while Allah's Names and Attributes are perfect. Hence it is more appropriate to call upon Him by His perfect names and not by the imperfect glory of the Prophet ^NS, Likewise we do not have any fight over Allah ^ because we are not pious enough to place right over Allah ^ . Because of this the Holy Prophet ;^S said: "None of you will enter Paradise due to his pious deeds. " 24 i.e we sin by night and by day thus we cannot place a right on Allah ^ due to our shortcomings and human failings. As for those who argue in favour of using the Prophet ^^ for tawassul we refute them by saying: When the Muslims suffered drought in 18 AH during the caliphate of Umar (ra), he, Umar (ra) said: "O Allah we used to use our Prophet I^S as tawassul by requesting him to beseech You for rain, and You would bless us with rain. Now we ask the uncle of our Prophet ^S to supplicate to You so grant us rain? 5 If it were halaal to use the Prophet ^S as a means of tawassul even after his death Umar (ra) would have made a du'aa to Allah <&& and said: "O Allah îfe give us rain due to the glory of our Prophet i^ " or he would have said "Give us rain due to the right which Muhammad 3^ has over You".

Hadith 7 He who gets married before he performs Hajj has indeed started (his life) by committing a great wrong. Related by Ibn Adee and graded fabricated by Ibn Jawzee,
Kalamullah.Com
Even though Hajj is a pillar of Islam it is permissible for a person to get married before performing Hajj. This is so because marriage is necessary to keep a person in the deen, -especially in a society, which is saturated by vices and temptations. When a person is single it is extremely difficult for him or her to be a proper practising Muslim. For this reason the Holy Prophet 2^S said: By Allah I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and some days suspend fasting, some nights I stay up and pray while other flights I go to bed, and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my example of
28 Surah Al-Araaf 7:33.
30
getting married such a person is not of me (i.e. one of my followers).
<>29
Because of the above mentioned hadith the scholars of Islam agree unanimously among themselves that marriage becomes compulsory on a person the moment he or she fears falling into zina. People should get married even if they have attained old age, because it is not allowed for us to live by ourselves. The Holy Prophet '^S has forbidden us to live by ourselves, by doing so we become vulnerable In regards to marriage the Holy Prophet ^g also said: "When anyone comes to you with a proposal of marriage for your daughter whose moral conduct and religion you like, then marry him to her. If you do not do so a trial and vast corruption will prevail on the earth, " 30 Thus no father should turn down someone's proposal for his daughter unless he has detected some fault in his deen or character, like laziness, smoking, drinking, gambling, wrong aqeedah, womanising or drugs.

The above-mentioned fabricated Hadith encourages Muslims to recite the Holy Qur'an by the grave and this is a bid'ah. There is no authentic hadith stating that this practice is allowed, If it were permissible the Sahaabahs would have recited over their dead because they were quicker than us in doing good deeds. This practice of reciting the Qur'an over the dead people was disallowed by Abu Hanifa, Malik and Ahmad. The person who claims to be a Muslim but didn't practice the Qur'an during his lifetime will not benefit from the recitation of his relatives over his dead body. In regards to this the Holy Prophet ^ said: When a person is dead all his pious deeds have stopped except in three cases: 7. A continuous charity. 2. Knowledge, which the deceased left behind for others to benefit from. 3. A righteous child who makes du 'aafor him. 31 Since the recitation of the Qur'an wasn't mentioned by the Prophet ^8 W e have no right to include it. However, we as Muslims are allowed to fast on behalf of a dead person who owes Allah ^fe some days of fasting i.e. an oath which he took before he died. For example if a person said: I will fast three days for Allah ^fe if I pass my exams and then he died before this could take place. Or if he owes Allah $& some days from the Holy month of Ramadhan which he or she missed. Whenever a person visits the graveyard he or she is only allowed to make du'aa for the dead and not to the dead as the Pagans do. Also we are allowed to give the dead our Salaam since they can hear us. We are encouraged by the Prophet ^5 to beg Allah ^fe to forgive the dead. As for praying to the dead

The Holy Prophet ^ said: "Do not insult any of my Sahaabahs because if you should spend as much as Mount Uhud in gold it will never measure up to the sacrifice of the Sahaabahs not even half of it i.e. their sacrifice. " 3 The Shi'ites pronounce Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman (ra) as kafirs. They do not realise that when they insult these noble companions they are actually insulting the Prophet 2^S because they were his closest companions.

The more disunited we are the weaker we become. The weaker we become the easier it is for our enemies to defeat us. There is absolutely no merit in Muslims having an abundance of differences amongst themselves, especially in regards to their deen. Concerning differences and disagreements Ibn Umar (ra) said: "I went to Allah 's Messenger ^8 in the morning and he heard the voices of two persons who had a argument with each other about a verse, Allah's Apostle ^53? came to us and the signs of anger could be seen on his face.

Likewise there are three different ways of praying salatul Janaazah. However differences of opinion in regards to aqeedah issues are intolerable.

chain of transmitters by the name Abdur Rahim Ibn Zaid who the scholars deemed a liar and a khabeeth (scum). This fabricated Hadith is repulsive, and it's against the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood. It enhances male chauvinism, which is a form of kufr. The great contributions made by women towards the spread of Islam are sufficient to refute this Hadith. Thus, the first person to take shahada was a woman, Khadijah (ra) the wife of the Holy Prophet ^5. Narrated Aisha (ra): '7 did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet ^8 as much as I did of Khadijah (although) she died (three years) before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (Le. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise). ,f43 Khadijah (ra) was given the glad tidings of Paradise by Allah ^fe because she was a great source of help for Islam and the Prophet 3^S. Hence she believed in him when others rejected him. She stood by him when others abandoned him. She assisted him by spending all her wealth in the path of Allah $& . When Allah ^ sent the Angel Jibreel ^&M to reveal the Holy Qur'an to the Prophet '^^ in the cave of Hira, the Prophet ^5 was overwhelmed with fright and fear because this experience was unprecedented in his life. Thus he rushed home to his wife Khadijah (ra) trembling and said to her, cover me, cover me, which she did. Soon after he described to Khadijah (ra) what took place with him in the cave of Hira. Having heard what he had to say she comforted him saying: "Nay! By Allah never will you be disgraced by your

When the revelation came to the Prophet ^S for the first time and he was overwhelmed with fright and fear, he needed spiritual, psychological and emotional support from those who were closest to him. Khadijah (ra) gave this support to the Prophet '^ and this is the reason he used to mention her very often in the company of Aisha (ra). Not only was a woman the first to take the shahada but the first person to die for Islam was also a woman, Sumayyah (fa). She was slain by Abu Jahl when she refused to renounce Al Islam. Likewise the greatest scholar of Islam was a woman, Aisha (ra). Narrated Abu Salama (ra): Aisha (ra) said: Once Allah's Apostle 3^1 said (to me) Aisha this is Gabriel greeting you, I said, peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on him. You see what I don't see. She was addressing Allah's Apostle 5^S. ** The Prophet '^g once sa j^ f jjm Salama (ra): u Urn Salama don 7 trouble me by harming Aisha (ra)for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.

Related by Ibn Asaakir 2/200 This fabricated Hadith has another wording, which goes as follows: Listen to what women have to say and then do the opposite. Related by Ibn Abu Haatim 2/184. This khabar is similar to Hadith 13 in that they are both detrimental to the Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood They enhance a feeling of disharmony, disrespect and distrust between men and women. Moreover this fabricated khabar contradicts the authentic traditions of the Holy Prophet ^ . Among such traditions is an incident, which took place at the treaty of Al-Hudaibiyyah.
The year 6 AH the Holy Prophet ^5 and one thousand four hundred of his companions left Madinah for Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah. The Kafirs of Quraish in their haughtiness and pride prevented the Muslims from entering into Makkah. Consequently the Prophet -^ encamped at the valley called AI-Hudaibiyyah and signed a peace treaty with the Kafirs of Quraish. One of the points in the treaty is that there will be no more wars between them for ten years and that the Muslims must return to Makkah the following year for their pilgrimage instead of performing it the year 6 AH as they had planned. The Sahaabahs were deeply offended by the terms and conditions of the treaty and deemed it an insult to them. Especially since they had to return to Al-Madinah without 41
entering Makkah, which they had set out for.
After agreeing with the terms and conditions of the treaty the Holy Prophet 3^' commanded his companions to perform the rituals of Umrah at the valley of Hudaibiyyah where they had encamped Thus he told them to slaughter their animals and shave their heads They all heard him but not a single person got up to cany out his order. So he repeated the command three times and still not a single Sahaabah stood up in order to comply with the order. After seeing that no one was prepared to obey him he went to Urn Salamah (ra) and told her what had

transpired between him and his companions. Upon hearing his complaint she told him to go out to them without speaking to any of them and that he should slaughter his animal in front of them and shave his head for them to see The Holy Prophet 2^ took her advice and acted upon it promptly. When the Sahaabahs saw that the Prophet ^S slaughtered his animal and shaved his head they all followed suite. They shaved each other with zeal and enthusiasm to the extent where they almost shaved the very skin. 47 The above-mentioned story states that the advice of the Prophet's 2^8 wife Um Salamah (ra) when acted upon promptly by the Prophet ^S proved to be fruitful and saved the day. This action of the Prophet ^ contradicts the fabricated hadith that states that to obey a woman causes regret.
Hadith 15 There is no sin in backbiting an evil liver. Related by Tabaraani.
47 See Al-Bidaaya Wan-Nihaaya by Ibn Kathir Vol. 4 r p. 178. 42
Even though a person is an evil liver he or she is still a Muslim. The evil liver as long as he didn't make his sin halaal is to be considered a Muslim. Unless his crime is so grave, and thus he becomes a Kafir whether he thinks it's halaal or haraam. An example of such crime is to insult Allah ^fe, His messenger or the Holy Qur'an. Also to work magic. Since the evil liver may still be a Muslim it's unwise and impious to backbite him because this will drive him away from the Muslim community into the arms of the Kafirs. However backbiting is allowed under the following circumstances: To give a character reference about someone else. For example, when Fatima bint Qays (ra) came to the Prophet 2^ seeking marital advice after both Muaawiyah Ibn Abu Sufyaan (ra) and Abu Jahm (ra) had proposed to her, the Prophet ^S said Muaawiyah (ra) is stingy and tight fisted and Abu Jahm (ra) beats his women so marry Usaama (ra) instead. 48 Or in the case in which someone has cheated you and another Muslim is about to do business with him, you should warn him by informing him of your own experience. This is allowed because the life, wealth and honour of every Muslim are sacred. Thus if you allow your Muslim brother to set up business with a fraudulent person this will result in him been cheated out of his wealth or even his life savings. Another form of backbiting that is allowed is in regards to the wicked scholars. If there is a scholar who preaches a false version of Islam and leads the Muslims astray, it becomes compulsory on the sincere scholars to expose his deviant ideas to the Muslim community. This is not a personal attack on his

character but instead it is to safeguard the Muslims from hoax and hearsay. When Imam Malik Ibn Anas was asked about a well-known personality who was disseminating Islamic knowledge He said he is a Dajjal from among the many Dajjals (i.e. a great liar).

Likewise when Imam Shafie was asked about a so-called hadith scholar he said he is a pillar from among the pillars of lies and falsehood. With these two incidents we can say that the four great Imams and those who follow never conceal the treachery of the deviants and wicked scholars because the Deen is more important than one person. Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal used to say: "The man who prays tahajud all night is only benefiting himself, but the man who exposes the deviants is benefiting the entire Ummah of the Prophet -^ .

The rationalists pride themselves on the above-mentioned Hadith. A rationalist is a person who forms his opinions by reasoning rather than relying on Qur'an and Sunnah. Rationalism is a fitnah in the Muslim world at the moment.

Tawheed has four branches and anyone who denies one is guilty of denying all, hence he has apostated from the Deen. The four branches of Tawheed are as follows: 1 . Tawheed Rububiya i.e. to believe that Allah is the only Lord and Creator. Hence He said:

The apostate leaders and the wicked scholars are a part and parcel of the New World Order Islam is the greatest threat to this Dajjal system called the New World Order. Hence the wicked scholars are vehemently trying to deny Allah His right to be the only Law-giver. They claim Tawheed

apostated from al Islam because Allah said in regards to His governance in Surah al Kahf, verse 26:

And He, Allah doesn't allow anyone to share with Him in His rule. In their desperate attempt to hide Tawheed Haakimiya from the believers, they slide it underneath Tawheed Ruboobiya and claim that they all mean the same thing. This is the aqeedah of Shaikh Uthaymeen of Saudi Arabia. If we should follow this aqeedah of Uthaymeen, then we will all have to believe that the Shaitaan is a Muslim. In Surah Hijr verse 36 the Shaitaan acknowledges Tawheed Ruboobiya. When he was thrown out of Heaven by Allah Shaitaan said : @) 5^124 ^ iJ[ >^kti 4,3 JLi
"My Lord grant me respite until the Day when they will be resurrected" Hence the Shaitaan in the above mentioned ayah acknowledges that Allah is his one and only Lord i.e. He acknowledges Tawheed Ruboobiya. Yet the Shaitaan doesn't acknowledge Tawheed Haakimiya, this is why he bluntly refuses to bow down to Adam (as). If he were of those who believe that Allah has the right to be the sole commander, he would have obeyed Allah and bowed down to Adam. By his rebelling against Allah's command, he was pronounced a kafir by Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Thus the deniers of 53
Tawheed Haakimiya belong to the Madhab of Iblees, hence, they too are Kaafiroon. The Mutazilites reason for denying Allah's ninety-nine names and attributes is; if we believe that Allah $& sees, hears and speaks then we will be making Allah && similar to man, since man does all those things. We refute them by saying Allah 3& Himself has attributed these names and attributes unto Himself many times in Al-Qur'an. Thus we see in the capacity as the creation but Allah ^fesees as the Creator We see and Allah ^sees but Allah is the All-Seeing. We hear and Allah hears but Allah ^>is the All-Hearing. We know and Allah && knows but He is the All-Knowing.

By using logic he deemed it inappropriate to bow down to Adam

>&&\ since according to his common sense fire is better than clay. Allah ^ related his disobedience to us as follows:
"And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the Angels, "Prostrate to Adam n and they prostrated except Iblees, he refused to be of those who prostrate. Allah said: "What prevented you O Iblees that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?' 9 Iblees said: "I am better than him 54
{Adam) j You created me from fire and You created him from clay." 72 Not only was Iblees the first to use his intellect to rebel against Allah's command but he was also the first racist. He claimed to be better than Adam because he was made from fire and Adam from clay. Hence anyone who claims to be better than someone else by virtue of race, tribe, clan or nationality has fallen into the web of the Shaitaan. To refute this notion Allah ^fe said: ^-J^ ,3^4^ iltr^l ^sO^f mI)T 3^^ jiiCi^f 51 T>3L^J "O mankind verify We have created you from a single male and female and made you into nations and tribes that you will know each other, not that you will despise each other. Verily the most honourable of you in the sight of Allah is that believer who is most righteous. " 73 Anyone who relies entirely upon his intellect to understand the deen rather than relying on Qur'an and Sunnah is bound to go astray. Things like the descriptions of Paradise and Hell-Fire have to be deducted from the text and not the intellect. Also the conversation that took place between Allah ^ and the Holy Prophet ^ when he went on Israa wal Miraaj can only be learnt from the text. Even though Allah ^ said in Surah Muhammad verse 15 that there is wine in Paradise, many times when I deliver lectures and quote this ayah the Muslims become surprised. According to their reasoning and logic there can't be any wine in Paradise. They are also taken aback to hear that

Also the Holy Prophet 2^ said: "Anyone who drinks the wine of this world will have no salah for forty days and forty nights ". 7S We should all use our intellect to appreciate the wonderful and marvellous creation of Allah ^S-, and all His favours that He has bestowed upon us.

punishments. Hence when we are commanded by Allah -3fe to do something it also includes women, e.g. Shahadah, Salah, Zakah, Saum and Hajj. Because women are included in the commandments, which are inside the Qur'an and Hadith, there is no sin on them if they recite the Athaan and Iqaamah for prayer. This permission is only granted to them when they are in a building where there are no men around. It's unislamic for women to call the Athaan when there are men around because a woman's voice becomes her Aura when it is beautified. When Ibn Umar (ra) was asked about a woman calling the Athaan and the Iqaamah he said: "Should I prevent them from the dhikr of Allah && t should I prevent them from the dhikr of Allah && ? " It's because of this statement of Ibn Umar (ra) when Ahmad Ibn Hanbal was asked about women calling the athaan and iqaamah he replied, "No problem. " As for the part of the hadith that says there is no ghusl for women before Salatul Jumu'ah, it contradicts the Islamic Shariah because it is Sunnah Muakkadah on those who attend Jumu'ah Salah to perform Ghusl whether they are men or women. It is compulsory on men to perform Jumu'ah but optional for women. I would recommend for women who are living in non-Muslim countries like Europe, America and the Caribbean to perform Jumu'ah as often as possible because it causes them to grow in Iman (faith). Hence they should attend a mosque where the khutba is delivered in a language that they understand. It is not compulsory for the khutba to be in Arabic. This is an erroneous concept. The purpose of a khutba is to remind the believers of their duties to Allah <3ife; so if it is delivered in a language that they don't understand they will not gain any benefit from it.

Hadith 36 The Holy Prophet ^S once sat on a cushion made of silk. Classified fabricated by Al-Haafiz Zaylaee. This fabricated khabar was used by some Muslims to allow Muslim men to sit on silk. It is haraam for Muslim men to sit on silk because the authentic ahaadith have forbidden it. Narrated Hudhaifa (ra): "The Holy Prophet ^S forbade us to drink out of gold and silver vessels, or eat in it, and also

forbade the wearing of silk and Dibaaj or sitting on silk. " 90 The Sahaabah Sa'd ibn Abee Waqqaas (ra) used to say: "It 's more preferred by me to sit on live ember than to sit on silk" 91 The scholars of Islam agree unanimously among themselves that Muslim women are allowed to wear silk and gold, while it is haraam for the males. However, they differ on the issue of Muslim women sitting on silk. Some are of the opinion that it is haraam for them; hence they are allowed to wear silk but are not allowed to sit on it. These scholars use Qiyaas and argue that Muslim women are allowed to wear gold but disallowed to drink from gold cups or use gold spoons, forks etc. Likewise they are allowed to wear silk but disallowed to sit on it. The other scholars take a more literal approach to the text and say since the hadith only forbids Muslim men from sitting on silk then it's halaal for Muslim women. Imam Nawawi

holds this view. 92 I am more incline to the first opinion because it's closer to the Islamic approach to life; in that to have furniture made of silk is extravagance and an exaggeration in love of the dunya. It would be more appropriate to donate such wealth to starving Muslims or to the Mujahideen. In this regard Allah 3fe said: "And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement But far better is the abode in the hereafter for those who are God-fearing, Will you not then understand '* 3 Additionally the Holy Prophet ^ said: "If this Dunya was valuable to the extent of a mosquito wing Allah would never give a Kafir a cup of water to drink from it.

Related by Ibn Adee and classified fabricated by Ibn Jawzee. In this world people don't always turn out to be what they seem to be. Also you do not know a person properly until you live with him or her. Thus in a world which is filled with pretenders and hypocrites, divorce is a great blessing from Allah ^ to remove undesirable people from our lives. The above-fabricated khabar is promoting Catholicism in Islam, because in the Catholic faith divorce is extremely difficult or totally forbidden. There is another hadith where the Holy Prophet '^S is supposed to have said: "Allah did not make anything lawful more hated to Him than divorce. " 95 This hadith even though it is widespread is classified weak by the scholars of Hadith, Even though divorce is allowed in Islam it becomes Haraam when there is no need for it i.e. in the case where both husband and wife are compatible and are living happily together in love and harmony. There are two types of divorce, Sunnee i.e. in accordance with the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ^^ and Bid'ee i.e. a divorce conducted against the Sunnah of the Prophet ^38". Divorce Bid'ee is to divorce a woman while she is menstruating or to say to a woman I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you three times in one go in the same sitting. If a man divorces his wife while she is menstruating he has to take her back and wait for her to finish her menstruation and after she takes a bath and becomes clean he is now allowed to divorce her without cohabiting with her. If he cohabits with her, then divorces her he is being sinful.

Whenever a man divorces his wife while she is menstruating even though he is obliged to take her back it is still counted as one divorce. So he has two chances left to divorce his wife. 96

As for the man who divorces his wife three times in one sitting by saying I divorce you three times, there is big confusion and dispute among the scholars as to whether or not it should be counted as one or three divorces. Those who hold the opinion that it should be counted as three divorces also hold the opinion that the wife becomes haraam for her husband until she marries another man who will cohabit with her, and if she gets a divorce from the second husband, only then can the first husband remarry her with a new dowry and two witnesses. This is the opinion of the four great Imams, some Sahaabahs and scholars like Umar (ra) and Aisha (ra). The other opinion states that if a man should pronounce three divorces on his wife in the same sitting; it is counted as one only. This is the opinion of Ibn Abbaas (ra), Ali (ra) as well as Ibn Taymiyya Jafar As-Saadiq, Muhammad al-Baaqir and the pupil of Ibn Taymiyya Ibn ul-Qayyim. There is no doubt that the most accurate opinion on this matter is that of Ali (ra) and his cousin Ibn Abaas (ra). This is so because their evidence is stronger than those who hold the opposite view. Among their evidence is the hadith found in Muslim where Abu al-Sahba (ra) said to the Prophet's ^NS cousin Ibn Abbaas (ra): "Do you know that three divorces were treated as one during the lifetime of Allah 's Apostle ^ and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and during three years of the caliphate of Umar? Ibn Abbaas said yes, " 97

"/Intf whatsoever the Messenger gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you abstain from it " 98 To impose on the Muslims the opinion that three divorces in one sitting is irrevocable is unwise. And such people are seeking to advance the argument that they know the Deen more than Allah's Messenger t^. It is for this reason Ibn Abbaas (ra) and Ali (ra) championed the opinion that it's counted as only one divorce. Also we are living in the last days where people are lacking in imaan; consequently they have very little control over their tongue. So if we should go by the first view that three divorces in one sitting is counted as three instead of one, this will lead to the disintegration of the Muslim family structure. The divorced woman has to wait three menstruations before she can remarry. If she is pregnant then her Iddah (waiting period) is until she delivers. If her husband divorces her before cohabiting with her then she has no Iddah. If she divorces her husband with Khula i.e. by returning the dowry her Iddah is one menstruation. Her Khula has to be performed by an Imam or a scholar. The Iddah of a widow is four months and ten days. If a man should say to his wife I divorce you jokingly it

A woman divorcing her husband for a valid reason includes: 1. She is divorcing him because she was forced by her parents to marry him even though she expressed that she has no feelings for him. 2. She is divorcing him because he beats her harshly continuously. 3. He is lazy and refuses to provide.

Hadith 39 Beware of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) for verily it results in six evil consequences, three of which occur on earth while the others occur in the hereafter.

He becomes a Kafir only if he claims that zina is halaal. Since he is still a Muslim he cannot be in the hell-fire forever because the Holy Prophet 2^g said: "He who has the smallest particle of Iman in his heart will be taken out of the hell-fire, " W2 According to the aqeedah of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa'ah we do not pronounce a Muslim Kafir for his sin unless he pronounces his sin lawiiil. However, there are certain crimes that are so grave; the moment the person commits one of these crimes he or she becomes a Kafir, even if they didn't intend to become a Kafir. For example, to work magic, to sleep with one's father's wife, to insult Allah ^fe, His Messenger ^8 or the Holy Qur'an (in earnest or jest), or to replace the Shariah with manmade laws.

There are some Muslims today who claim that this verse means disbeliever of a lesser degree, thus the person who dismantles the Shariah is not really a disbeliever because to dismantle the Shariah is a minor issue, a minor kufr. We refute them by saying a person is either a Muslim or a disbeliever, hence there is no such thing as a disbeliever of a lesser degree. This is bid'ah in regards to aqeedah, the worst form of bid'ah. If to dismantle the Shariah was minor kufr, as they would like all Muslims to believe, why did Allah ^ find it necessary to turn the Jews into apes and swine when they tampered with their Shariah in regards to the Sabbath. The Shari'ah of Muhammad

2^S is more valuable than the Shari'ah of Musa >^^so to dismantle it is major kufr (disbelief) that makes someone become a kafir.

Are they trying to insinuate that Allah 3& is an oppressor and Allah^ was overreacting when he turned the Jews into apes and swine for tampering with the Sabbath. The reason why I said earlier that most of the message in this fabricated hadith is true is because Ibn ul-Qayyim has made mention of these evil consequences of sins in his book Al Jawaab Al-Kaafee page 98-101. We can see for ourselves that in any society in which zina becomes widespread there are always a lot of street children living in poverty without parents e.g. South America, Africa, North America, Far East Asia etc. Additionally Allah $& said about the fornicator:

Then the Prophet ^S said: Do you know something of the Qur 'an by heart? He replied: I know such Surah and such Surah. The Prophet 2 said: Go! I have married you to her for what you know of the Qur 'an by heart i,e. for you to teach hre the Qur 'an. " U6 In the above mentioned hadith the Prophet ^S had married a woman to a man who was penniless and could not afford a mahr (dowry). Since the Holy Prophet ^ married her to him for him to teach her what he knew of the Qur' an, this is clear evidence that it is permissible to charge a fee for teaching others the recitation of the Holy Qur'an. This was the position of the great scholars of Islam: Imam Shafee, Malik, al-Hasan, Ataa, Ishaaq and many more. Imam Nawawi has cited this view in his book Sharh Sahih Muslim 117 and said Al Qaadi Iyaad was also of this opinion due to the above-mentioned Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim. This hadith also proves the permissibility of a woman proposing to a man.

The explanation of the above hadith is famous in Jewish and Christian circles.

The scholars of Islam agree unanimously among themselves that this story is from the Israeeliyaat (i.e. saying of the Jews) and not a Hadith of the Holy Prophet ^^ . It is not our creed as Muslims to insult and slander any of the Prophets of Islam whether it be Muhammad ^^ or any of the previous Prophets of Allah. It is not befitting of a Prophet to lust much less to cause the death of someone in order to satisfy his own lust. We as Muslims believe that the Prophets of Allah were all infallible. Meaning they did not commit a sin deliberately. Whatever slip they committed was merely a mistake and not a deliberate sin like Musa *&! slaying of the Coptic Soldier in Egypt. Anyone who insults or slanders any of the Prophets of Allah ^ .becomes a Kafir and deserves to be killed if he is living in an Islamic sate. The insulter is killed whether he is a

"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts).

"* 20 Thus it is permissible for a woman to expose her face and the palm of her hands when she goes out in public because they are exempted from being covered. To understand this verdict properly I would suggest that you read Tafseer Qurtubi for the explanation of Surah Noor verse 30-31. The Holy Prophet 2^S has encouraged us on many occasions to lower our gaze and avoid starring at women because it's the gateway to zina. Buraidah (ra) reported the Apostle of Allah ^S once said to Ali (ra): "Do not give a second look because while you are not to blame for the first you have no right to the second. " }21 Jabir (ra) said; "The Prophet ^^ saw a woman so he entered upon Zainab Bint Jahsh and had intercourse with her.

When a woman comes out of her house, she charms others by her beauty. Strange men may have evil notions by looking at her. Hence she causes them to fall into sin.

The above-fabricated hadith gives the impression that Islam needs Arabs and thus it depends on them solely for it to spread. However this is not the case.

Al Albaani claims in his book Silsilah Al Ahaadith AdDa' eefah Wal Mawdoo'ah 1/196 that the Arab Nation is superior to the rest of Nations. He used for his evidence the saying of the Prophet ^^: "Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinaana from amongst the descendants of Ismael and He granted eminence to Quraish amongst Kinaana and He granted eminence to Banu Hashim from amongst Quraish and He granted eminence to me from Banu Hashim. " 12 We refute Albaani' s claim by saying he has misunderstood the hadith because in Islam a person is noble by virtue of his piety not by virtue of his tribe or nation. In this regard the Holy Prophet ^^ said; "There is no superiority for Arabs over non-Arabs or non-Arabs over Arabs. And there is no superiority for whites over blacks or blacks over whites, except with piety. All of you are from Adam and Adam is from clay. ffl 6 The Jews were chosen to propagate Allah's message and when they failed miserably Allah ^ cursed them and replaced them with the Arabs because the Prophet ^^ was an Arab.

The above-mentioned fabricated hadith gives the impression that it is impermissible to pray two rak'ah of sunnah while the Imam is delivering his khutba. However it is permissible for a person to perform two rak'ah of sunnah while the Imam is delivering the khutba because there are authentic traditions allowing it. Narrated Jabir Ibn Abdullah (ra): "While delivering a sermon, Allah 'is Apostle -ÊS said: If anyone of you comes while the Imam is delivering the khutba or has come out for it, should offer a two rak y ah prayer.

Kalamullah.Com
world, which don't allow these two rak'ahs after the Imam ascends the mimbar They deem it inappropriate because the person who is praying is interrupting the Imam and others. This opinion is strongly upheld by Hanafi scholars. Since this two rak'ah prayer is a sunnah and not fard it is better to avoid praying it in front of the Imam at a mosque, which doesn't allow it because this will create disunity and the unity of the Muslims is fard. However if the Mosque is comprised of different rooms you may offer this Salah in a room different to the one where the Imam is delivering the sermon. As for the second part of the hadith that states that there should be no speaking when the Imam ascends the mimbar; this needs an explanation. Hence the explanation for this prohibition is: when the Imam stands up and starts speaking then everyone should keep silent. If anyone speaks while the Imam is speaking such a person has no Jumu'ah.

The following Hadith Qudsi states that we should recite Surah Fatiha behind the Imam to ourselves in the silent prayers. Narrated Abu Huraira (ra) may Allah ^ be pleased with him from the Prophet ^jg w ho said; "A prayer performed by someone who has not recited the essence of the Qur'an (i.e. Fatiha) is deficient and he repeated the word three times, incomplete.

There is a difference of opinion among the scholars as to whether Makkah is holier than Madinah. It's our madhab (i.e. Hanbali school of thought) that Makkah is holier than Madinah. This view is also championed by Imam Abu Hanifa and Shafi. However Imam Malik and most of his students are of the view that Madinah is holier than Makkah. The great Maliki scholar al Qaadi Iyaad said Madinah is the most sacred place on earth because the grave of the Holy Prophet 2^ is there. The Jamhoor (majority of scholars) are of the opinion that Makkah is holier then Madinah because of the following ahaadith: "O/z the authority of Abu Huraira (ra) who said the Holy Prophet ^5 said: Salah in this Masjid of mine is better than a thousand salah in another mosque except Masjid Al Haraam in Makkah. " J52 Salah performed at Masjid Al Haraam in Makkah is equivalent to one hundred thousand salah while salah performed at the Prophet's !$& mosque in Madinah is equivalent to a thousand salah, so how can Madinah be better than Makkah? 153 On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Adee Ibn Hamraa AzZuhri who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah 2^, while he was on the back of his camel in Makkah on his way to Madinah for Hijrah, saying: By Allah you are the most sacred land of

Even though Jumu'ah is not compulsory on women, they should attend as much as possible in order to grow in Imam. If a male should miss three Jumu'ah prayers consecutively he has committed a grave sin in Al Islam Jumu'ah prayer is not compulsory on the traveller, the sick and the prisoner because he is not free.

Hadith 94 Make your Tawassul with my Glory (Jahh) for verily my Glory in the sight of Allah is great. Classified fabricated by Sheikul Islam Ibn Taymiyya who said this khabar is devoid of a known origin i.e. chain of transmitters. The Arabic word Tawassul implies seeking a means of nearness to Allah 3&. There are two types of tawassul lawful and unlawful. The type mentioned in the above mentioned fabricated hadith is unlawful. We are not allowed as Muslims to make tawassul with the Glory of the Prophet Muhammad ^&g The lawful tawassul is of three types. To draw near to Allah ^fe by calling upon Him by His ninety-nine names and attributes. Or to ask someone who is pious to make du'aa for you. And to draw near to Allah &> with your pious deeds. The people who believe that it is permissible to make tawassul with the Glory of the Prophet ^S rely heavily on the hadith of the blind man.
168 Surah Al-Iklas 112 126
It was reported by Ahmad and others with an authentic chain of narrators from Uthmaan Ibn Haneef (ra): "A blind man
Kalamullah.Com
came to the Prophet ^ and said, supplicate to Allah that He should cure me of my blindness. So he said if you wish I will supplicate to Allah for you and if you wish I will delay that, for that is far better for you. So he the blind man said supplicate to Him. So he ordered the blind man to perform wudhu and to perform it well, and to pray two rakahs, and to supplicate with this Du 'aa "0 Allah I ask You and I turn to You by means of Your Prophet Muhammad (i.e. by means of his Du'aa) the Prophet of mercy, O Muhammad 1 have turned by means of you (i.e. your Du 'aa) to my Lord in this need of mine, so that it may be fulfilled for me, Allah accept him as a supplicant on my behalf and accept my supplication for him, (to be accepted for me) ". He said, so the man did it and he was cured of his blindness. 169 The people who promote the idea of making tawassul with the Glory of the Prophet ^5 rely on this hadith for their evidence; however this hadith is evidence against them. Instead it's an evidence for those who disallow this type of tawassul. This is so because the tawassul of the blind man was through means of the Holy Prophet's ^ du'aa and the proofs for what we say are many taken, from the hadith itself, and most importantly: 1 . The reason why the blind man came to the Prophet ^S was for him to make a du'aa for him, as he said: "Supplicate to Allah ^ and ask Him to cure me of my blindness' 1 . So he sought to use the Prophet's du'aa as a means of nearness to Allah, ^ since he knew that the du'aa of the Prophet ~^^S was more likely to be accepted
169 It was reported in Al Musnad Vol. 4. p. 138, and by At-Tirmidhee Vol. 4, p. 281-282, and Ibn Maajah Vol. 1, p. 418. 127
by Allah ^ than the du'aa of others, and if the intention of the blind man was to seek nearness to Allah ^fe by means of the Prophet's Glory or status or his right, then he would have no need to go to the Prophet ^8, or to ask him to make du'aa for him, rather he would have sat in his house, and supplicated to his lord saying for example "O Allah I ask You by the Glory of Your Prophet and his station with You that You cure me and enable me to see." But that is not what he did. Why? Since he was an Arab and knew very well the meaning of tawassul in the Arabic language and knew that it was not a word said by a person with a need, mentioning the name of the person as an intermediary. Rather it had to include coming to one whom he believed to be pious and have knowledge of the book and the sunnah and ask him to make du'aa for him. 2. The Prophet 2^g promised that he would make du'aa for him after advising him of what would be better for him, and this was his saying, "If you wish I will supplicate for
Kalamullah.Com
you, and if you have patience, that is better for you". And this second matter is what he indicated in the hadith which he narrated from His Lord, the Blessed and Most High; thus he said: "When I afflict My servant in his two beloved ones, that is his eyes, and he observes patience, then I give him Paradise in place of them ", 116 3. The blind man's insistence that he should supplicate for him, as he said to the Prophet, "Supplicate to Him" means that the Messenger 5^S definitely did make du'aa for him, since he was the best at fulfilling a promise and he had already promised to make du'aa for him if he wished as it is mentioned in the Hadith that preceded. The blind man preferred that he make a du'aa for him to be cured. Also the Holy Prophet 2^8 ou t f his mercy
Sahih Al Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 7, p. 377, No. 557. 128
and desire that Allah ^ should answer his du'aa for him ordered him to make wudhu properly and pray two rak'ah, and then to make du'aa himself. Hence Allah ^ said in regards to these pious acts of the believers: * - 1 " "" , "* ^ **

After analysing our argument against making tawassul by the Glory of the Prophet ^^ it becomes clear to all who Allah && has blessed with sincerity that this form of tawassul is not allowed in Islam because no Sahaabah did it Not only does this form of tawassul makes the Muslims resemble the Christians who make tawassul with the Glory of Isa ?3weB , but it is also Bid'ah (a cursed innovation). Their argument that the blind man made tawassul with the Glory of the Prophet Muhammad ^ is a lie because he said to the Holy Prophet $3 "Supplicate Allah for me to be cured of my blindness". Hence it's clear that he made tawassul with the du'aa of the Prophet ^. So we are only allowed to make tawassul with the Righteous people by means of their du'aa (supplication) when they are alive. But as for making tawassul with their glory when they are dead, this is haraam and a bid'ah. It is for this reason Umar (ra) the second Caliph approached the Prophet's uncle Abbaas (ra) and said 'We used to use the Holy Prophet for Tawassul when he was alive and Allah used to give us rain at times of drought, now since the Prophet is no longer with us we will use the uncle of

However we should not exaggerate in our love for the rooster and fabricated ahaadith in its regard, like the four which I have mentioned previously. The voice of a rooster doesn't drive away the Shaitaan but instead it's the recitation of the Holy Qur'an and Athaan that drives away the Shaitaan, especially Surah Baqarah.

Music is the Qur'an of the Shaitaan, thus anyone who listens to music soon and very soon that person will commit Zina*, Because the music plays on their emotions and puts them in the mood for zina. It is for this reason womanisers have an expensive sounds system in their cars. Likewise men and women who are promiscuous go to the night-clubs and discos for their partners, because the music in the night-clubs puts people in the mood to commit zina.

"0 jww h>Ao believe obey Allah and obey His Messenger and those who are in authority from among you. " I85 All the commentators of the Qur'an agree that this ayah means the leaders and the Islamic scholars are the ones who are in authority from among us. Thus we are supposed to love, respect and obey them if they obey Allah && and His Messenger. However if they sell out and go against Qur'an and Sunnah, we're not supposed to obey them because there is no obedience to the creation while you are disobeying the Creator. Hadith 100 Necessity knows no law. Classified fabricated by Adh-Dhahaabee. The scholars of Islam say this saying is not a hadith but instead it's a saying of the Islamic jurist. Hence the meaning is authentic and it is permissible for the Muslims to act upon it. For example, Allah && has given us the permission to eat pork if we are starving and there is nothing else by which we can eat to save ourselves. Thus He >&& said:
185 Surah An-Nisaa 4:59.

iî--^-^ ^>^-^^ ^LJôI ?sil^ f^Î 3Aa ^L^ ^3 SL*^ 3^^ jâ-^fîi "Allah has forbidden you only the "Maytata" (le. animals that die by themselves) and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah or has been slaughtered for idols etc, or which Allah's name hasn '1 been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity without disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin for hint Truly Allah is off Forgiving Most Merciful" 186 Likewise we are persecuted, the with his tongue persecuting him allowed to renounce Islam when way Ammaar Ibn Yaasir (ra) renounced Islam when the arch enemy of Islam Abu Jahl was for taking his shahadah.
Even though apostasy is the worst crime under the heavens we are allowed to apostate with our tongues to save our lives as long as our hearts are firm with Iman (faith). In this regards Allah ^fe said:

"Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced to do so while his heart is centred with Iman. " lB7
186 Surah Al-Baqarah 2; 173. 187 Surah An-NahJ 16:106
138
The great commentator of the Holy Qur'an Ibn Abbaas said this ayah was revealed when Ammaar Ibn Yaasir (ra) the Sahabi apostated with his tongue due to the severe persecution Quraish unleashed against him for the sake of his Deen, AlIslam. 188 Likewise even though alcohol is haraam a person who is choking to death and didn't find any liquid to drink except alcohol to save his life is allowed to so do so. Thus the khabar is a fiqh ruling used by the Islamic jurist past and present therefore its meaning is authentic i.e. necessity knows no law.
