  • The Five Goals of Islam

    Maqasid: goals for Muslims, why? We every day - the good in us - has several tasks that he performs in the day and night to feel that he is still alive, there are no awake from sleep except for the reason that behind us are things we do, whether for religion or this world, and it is known in psychology that the least time you do is an insurance plan on your worldly life be 3 years to feel safe, you know what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and there are international companies that reach their goals and plans for a period of 100 years, and were it not for these goals, they would not renew anything in their products... Now God - come - I give you small daily goals. Let's metaphorically call them targets like when you first wake up Heaven angels bear witness to your work this day whether you are mentally alert as you say it or not? It was. The Messenger of God may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, if he wanted to sleep, said: In your name, O God, I die and live. And when he wakes up from his sleep, he says: praise be to God, who sometimes after He made us die, and to Him is the resurrection (Bukhari, Muslim, and others). Any renewal of the covenant, renewal of thanksgiving for the blessing of life and others As for the great goals, call them the ceiling of expectations or goals for your presence in this life, and they are the five purposes. When we get to know them, we feel that we have not been left in vain in this life without religious insurance. Perhaps you did not insure your life or what you possess, but securing ideas is one of the things that many people overlook, like who I am, what I did and what I will do after death, something like insurance, but I have ideas that can get you out of religion if you think about them... Let's start: The concept of purposes The term Maqasid al-Shariah refers to the general goals that Sharia seeks to achieve in people's lives, It is also called the special goals that have been initiated to achieve each of them a special rule. The five purposes The people of the heavenly religions and the sane people of the children of Adam agreed that the most important thing by which the human condition is corrected is their preservation of five universal matters, It is what is called the five goals (religion, soul, mind, offspring, money). First: The preserving of the religion Before we delve into Islamic thought and legislation, why did God Almighty want to preserve religion, let me tell you ordinary words that are not legislation: Do we as human beings need religion? Did you know that there are about 4000 religions in the earth, why do we love religion? Why are we religious? Why does each one of us adhere to his religion if he knows that there is something more correct than it? Is it an instinct in us? Yes, it is an instinct in us, especially in times of crisis. Have you - God forbid - drowned once and were you feel ? Lonely? who's you remember in this difficult moment? Nobody: no wife - no children, No father or mother, who you called and told him to save you? The Lord - Blessed and Exalted be He - is not it? did you wonder after you came back to your normal life? Perhaps yes, if your answer is yes, then know that our need for religion is a need for water and air, especially in times of crisis, or at the time of major questions when a loved one is lost or buried under the dirt. You wonder and wonder if life really should be lived? Why all this running after property and then leaving it and walking? You will say: It is Life and this basic truth Death is part of life, yes we all say that, did you find it A real pain reliever for your thoughts? Impossible isn't it? Let us admit that our need for religion is innate, so it dwells or nourishes the soul in us. All we hate is do and do not do, which is the main reason for the existence of these religions on earth. We want someone to relieve us and live on our own desires, and no haram or halal disturbs us in the sweet moment. Seriously think you will notice this. The religious thoughts about the Religion aspect Allah says فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَالنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴾ [الروم: 30]. So set your face upright for the religion, the instinc in which God created people on, There is no substitute for God’s creation, that is the sovereign religion, but most people do not know.” (Al-Rum: 30). God - Blessed and Exalted be He - in this noble verse says to you: His face is for religion (Hanif: leaning from polytheism to faith), and what does this mean? Whenever you get confused in a situation, notice your facial expressions and your eyes take pictures from here and there and you can't Control it, and if you are not satisfied with the circumstances in your life, this matter will only get worse, He prescribes medicine for you: He knows that there are many ideologies (intellectual method) in the earth that cause children to turn gray. He says to you, do not look to the right or left, but rather turn your face towards the religion. “Islam is here with obedience.” people on it? They say in the vernacular, “Naturalism prevails.” Here, no matter how hard you try not to adhere to religion, you will find something that bothers you until you land on a shore, and then he confirms this to you in a sentence, There is no alteration of God’s creation.” Then he assures you that this religion is Qayyim: Al-Qayyim: the master, meaning the master of all religions, but “most people do not know” and you are an expert a minority will not be flogged except with religion and its laws. You are the one you like to be with. This is your choice alone, and it will have its consequences tomorrow. God know. Now what is the function of religion in my life and what is specifically required of me? 1 - The explanation And that is through teaching people the matters of their religion, and clarifying and clarifying them, so that what is not part of it is not mixed with religion what's nothing from it, He says about the People of the Book وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ (187) And when God took the covenant of those who were given the Book, that you should make it clear to the people, and do not conceal it, so they have cast it behind their backs, and they bought with it for a small price ۖ Evil is what they buy (187) And if the talk is about the People of the Book, but we are concerned with this talk as Muslims: we know the religion or part of it, then we did not tell the people about it and explain it to them, and we rejected it: that is, we cast it away from our lives, and we bought the world and took advantage of iwe did not show the religion to the people. 2 - The practical application You will not find in the Qur’an a saying or knowledge without action (Those who believe are always linked to it in the Qur’an: and they do good deeds) and it is not one good but good, and the Lord, Blessed and Exalted be He, warns this matter when he says: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لا تَفْعَلُونَ Those who believe you do not say what you do not do ( 3- Respect the recipient's mentality Do you know what modern science has reached in all aspects of life? Do you know that robots are now loaded with at least 3 Ph.D.s and various sciences, and equipped with real human minds, not licensing, so learn how to turn this information into scientific treasures, moving through the Machine? Do you imagine a person in the West or in the East who carries in his head a lot of science, programming, astronomy or other sciences, and still believes in a God? He hears from you about religion? Do you not fear God in him and say logical, rational words that respect his background? Ali Ibn Abi Talib - may God be pleased with him - said: “Tell the people about what they know, would you like to be told a God and His Messenger lie, What does this mean? (What they know) And if I was less knowledgeable than them, should I not tell them? No, but respecting the mentality of the recipient is one of the duties of the era, so attach with your words what science has reached if you can do so. 4 - Freedom of belief Allah says لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِيالْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ (If your Lord had willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, would you force people to be Believers)This verse and many others call for you to respect people’s beliefs even if they are not as you like, even if your religion is the correct on, It is a call from God - Blessed and Exalted be He - since 1442 years for the protocol for choosing the creed. There is no compulsion in religion and we do not have to guide people. 5- The legislation of jihad In order to enable religion, ward off aggression, and protect belief, there are more than 21 types of jihad such as honoring parents, teaching people, learning, Hajj and Umrah for women and others, According to intention and sincerity, do not deprive yourself. 6- Performing the principles of worship and the pillars of Islam From prayer, zakat, fasting and pilgrimage, after pronouncing the two testimonies, these acts of worship are among the most important of their secrets and their ruling is that it connects the servant to his Lord and strengthens his relationship with him, which establishes the origin of faith in himself and renews it. 7 - Obligation and protection of the call to God And providing security for its campaign Allah says ﴿وَلْتَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ آل عمران: 104] “And let there be among you a nation that invites to the good, and they enjoin what is right, order with what's good, and forbide what's evil, And those are the successful ones, Al Imran: 104 8 - Legislation of the penalty for apostasy This is so that a person is serious about embracing Islam, and so that he does not accept Islam except after complete conviction its owner, Islam does not compel anyone to embrace it. Rather, God does not accept anything from the religion except that which stems from the conviction of the Muslim, If a person enters it, he is supposed to be convinced of the decision he has taken, and if he apostates after that, then this means that he has caused an intellectual and political confusion by which the conditions of society are disturbed, and he will lose his desired intellectual and psychological stability, as God Almighty said, clarifying the call of the polytheists to this policy: ِAllah says ﴿ وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمِنُوا بِالَّذِي أنْزِلَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَجْهَ النَّهَارِ وَاكْفُرُوا آخِرَهُ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴾ [آل عمران: 72]. And a group of the People of the Book said, “Believe in that which was revealed to those who believed in the face of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it, so that they may return” (Al Imran: 72). In view of this, the punishment for apostasy was legislated: to protect the seriousness of belief, and the sanctity of religion. The second goal: self-preservation Among the necessities of human life: the infallibility of the soul, and the preservation of the right to life, can we call it the right of life, or the gift of God? How do we say that and there are people who have committed suicide, and how do we say this and there is a so-called euthanized death in the West, and others were concerned with long life and called themselves Transhuman, and between these and those, people do not feel the value of life, do you not see people on the white beds wishing for additional moments to enter their lives to see their children graduate, . This is life, and it is the first gift from God - the Most High - and whoever wants to get rid of it is like the one who receives a gift on his birthday and throws it on the ground and smashes it in front of those who gifted him with it. Life is for something that hurts us from the harm of the world to say as Allah says: ( Oh God, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of the Fire). Islam has legislated several methods for self-preservation 1- Marriage is legislated for the sake of procreation and reproduction and to create souls to outlive the world Allah says ﴿ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْأَزْوَاجًا لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ﴾[الروم: 21]. And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find repose in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy (Al-Rum: 21). He created for you a wife from your own self, why from your own self,for she is not of the jinn, not an animal and not a robot, if she hurt you one day you will not break her upside down, or at least you will be crushed Psychologically, you do not know what technology will do to you if you do not use it optimally, I'm talking about mental well-being. Why did He create for you a wife (to live with) and what does that mean? accommodation: soothes his pain: calms it down, eases it, and you say my dwelling is in, do-it-yourself neighborhood, you mean comfort, convenience, and non-competence that you feel outside the house, the wife was not a palliative for your external pain and wounds, and at the very least, she did not cost you as much you cost in front of people outside, you really live there, Then He made only between you (Affection: in the beginnings and perhaps to the ends) but most (mercy) is what remains for the last of the age, few of them build homes and live a lifetime on love, but if one of you (the two of you) needs the other party, he can inhabit the other’s wounds, whether psychological or physical, with the least of a kind word, no schadenfreude, and a normal relationship... This is God’s will, as for what happens in marriages. On the ground, this is what is not pleasing to God - the Most High - 2 - It is obligatory for a person to provide himself with the means to sustain his life From eating and drinking, to providing clothing and housing, it is forbidden for a Muslim to abstain from these necessities to the extent that threatens the survival of his life, It obligated the state to establish the agencies that guarantee public security for individuals, such as the judiciary, the police, and others, in order to achieve security for the community. 3- It is obligatory to preserve the dignity of the human being by preventing slander and insults Allah says ﴿ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِمَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُبِينًا ﴾ [الأحزاب: 58 And those who abuse the believing men and believing women without what they have earned So they have put up with slander and a manifest sin.” [Al-Ahzab: 58] The entire Qur’an is a description of personalities present around you everywhere, not for entertainment, but for consideration and ideals to bring you closer to your daily life, If you watch it, you will testify to the truthfulness of the Qur’an from a point where it does not count. Here in the noble verse: God describes some people as mischievous: those who harm the believing men and women with a condition that is (without what they have earned) i.e. They did not do anything that deserves this harm, as if they carried something heinous on their shoulders, which is (Buhtan: fabricating a lie - which is to remind a person of a fault that does not exist, and slander is a major sin) and not only that, but a sin: a clear and obvious sin, and you know that the scandal of the world is in reality half a million viewers on the media, but the scandal of the hereafter is before the nations, and we are a nation saying that we are loved by God as the Jews, so let’s see tomorrow are we spoiled or what? - Oh God, we ask you to forgive, and have mercy, you are the most honorable and the most honorable. 4 - Legislation of licenses because of excuses for hardship and harm Which causes harm to the soul, such as: the concessions to break the fast in Ramadan due to illness and travel, and the shortening of prayer while travelling. 5- Islam forbids killing oneself, whether a person kills himself or someone else kills him, Allah says ﴿وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا ﴾ [النساء: 29] “And do not kill yourselves, for God is merciful to you.” [An-Nisa: 29] There are no misplaced names in Islam, such as removing devices from the patient unless it is ordered by the doctor, and no merciful death when one of them swallows, poison voluntarily and dies in a few minutes in front of his loved ones, if they are found, and the strange thing is that God Come - append the noble verse that He was merciful to you? Why ? That you want to get rid of your life to get rid of suffering, suffering is part of life. Rather, call it life’s challenges to get you out of the phase of childhood, even if you are in your sixties, to the phase of life and hereafter maturity that understands life and its grace, and the bitterness of losing those around you, when they truly loved you, God is merciful to you, so never kill yourself under any name, but there are necessities that allow prohibitions. Allah says ﴿ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَاالنَّاسَ جَمِيعًا ﴾ [المائدة: 32 Whoever kills a self without a self, or corruption in the Earth, it is as if he killed all people, And whoever saves a life, it is as if he saved the life of all people.” (Al-Ma’idah: 32) What is this, kill only one, carry the burdens of all mankind (as if) to bring the meaning closer, the noble verse is similar to you two things that we can do in our daily livesA - Killing a person with a speeding car, inciting him to kill him, or otherwise, or giving him a deadly medicine...etc. B - Corruption on earth: What is corruption on earth? Ethics, which is indeed the case, but God - the Most High - talks about moral corruption, (Say to the soul) and material corruption “corruption in the land” from killing biodiversity, or throwing waste “clothes waste” that does not decompose even for 100 years, so its final resting place will be the oceans, It destroys biodiversity in the oceans, and then brings evil to humans, birds and fish, or deliberate forest fires, although it produces nitrogen, which is very good for the planet, but it destroys various types of plants, And various habitats for animals, so they colonize other habitats and change the ecosystem, or viruses that are made in laboratories and other types of course of the corruption in the land. and look It is as if he killed all people and whoever saved them “he said the word of truth” or prevented corruption in any way, or lifted the injustice of only one person, as if he saved all people, but isn't this an exaggeration? And does God - come - exaggerate - ask forgiveness for God, but to live in yourself the value of life for others does not belong to you, so understand that your crime is great, so do not think about it from the beginning. And God is higher and knows best. and note If you are a woman who puts cosmetics on her face, nails, or other things, did you know that there are thousands of cosmetic products that carry (animal experiments) within it? they try it on them before you put it safely on your cheeks, and I hear you say, and what is my fault that an animal is tormented and loses its eye or flays its skin because of chemical experiments on it? You don't have to, turn the products on their backs, and if they have a small green check mark or any meaning that they respect nature, use them, otherwise you will be joint with the owners of animal experiments hand by hand, and if the company puts these signs in a false way, then there is no blame on you at the time. and God knows best. Allah says ﴿ وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا النساء: 93] And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, abide in it, and God became angry with him and cursed him, and prepared for him a great punishment. Women: 93) All this because of killing one person, I will ask forgiveness and repent to God - What is this exaggeration? - the subject is a matter of principle, did you know that there are approximately 4000 religions on the face of the earth, that is, did you know that the believers in God - the Almighty are few? Do you know that they are less than a few because of (may God be pleased with them) and you took one of the least few and killed him, do you have children? do you love them Are they few or many? Do you like to kill one of them is your son on the pretext that you have other children, we are not the children of God, we are not slaves, but this is such example for to know the kill is forbide on the children of Adam except the killer drserve the kill. And in the Hadith (Whoever kills a covenant will not smell the wind of Paradise) The smell of heaven, dear reader, is from a 500-year journey, so whoever was killed in a church or outside the church institutes: i.e. from the People of the Book, and did not the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - interprets a reason or a non-cause, so he does not smell the scent of Paradise. 6 - Retribution required for premeditated murder, blood money and penance for wrongful killing Allah says قال تعالى: ﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى ﴾ [البقرة: 178] ) O you who have believed, retribution is written upon you, among the dead.” [Al-Baqarah: 178] 7- Declaring jihad in order to preserve souls and protect the weak وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا (75) And why should you not fight in the cause of God and of the weak among men, women and children who say our Lord, expel us from this village whose people have been unjust, and make for us from Yourself a guardian and grant us a protector (75) 8 - It is obligatory for a Muslim to rescue someone who is being killed unjustly, or who is in danger, if he is able to save him. 9 - It is also prescribed for a person to defend himself if someone who wants to attack him attacks him Without bearing any responsibility if the attacker dies, and it is proven that he wanted to attack him. The third objective: Preserving the mind The mind in Islam is great importance, as it is the source of responsibility, and in it is the generosity of man and his preference over all other creatures, and he is prepared to carry out the caliphate on the earth and bear the trust from God. Allah says ﴿ إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ﴾ [الأحزاب: 72] We have offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains so they refused to carry it, and were pitying it, and the man carried it (Al-Ahzab: 72). We take from the noble verse 1- Honesty: integrity, honesty, sincerity, firmness on the covenant, loyalty, reversed by betrayal of trust, from this linguistic definition we understand that trust can be the religion (Islam) and any trust with you or with someone else can be a trust, whether it is the trust of a word that you do not pay attention to and destroy a person’s life because of your lack of trust, In the word that came out of your mouth, and you do not want to be a liar after a period of time, and you can be a trustee of property no matter how small it is - if someone leaves you a book to read and you do not return it to its owner on the pretext that he has a lot of books and it didn't come out of his mouth that he gave you it, it's a betrayal of trust, money and jewelry and others, And the one who wrote you a power of attorney, so you exploited it for your benefit and lost his interests, the list goes on that is why the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: (If the trust is wasted, then wait for the Hour, How did you waste it, O Messenger of God? He said, “If the matter is assigned to someone who is not in it, then wait for the Hour.” Narrated by Bukhari) So if you see a man in a wrong place, if he does not master his profession and you put him in this place to favor or embarrass anyone, then remember the words of the Messenger (The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “He who is in charge of anything from the affairs of Muslims, appoint a man while he finds who he is better than him, he betrayed God and His Messenger.} [ p: 16 ] And in a narration: “Whoever imitates a man who works against a gang, and he finds in that gang more satisfactory than him, then he has betrayed God, betrayed His Messenger, and betrayed the believers.” Narrated by al-Hakim in his Sahih, and some of them narrated that it was from what Omar said to Ibn Omar. On the authority of al-Tirmidhi al-Hakim, on the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, may God be pleased with him, On the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: “God Almighty said Adam: O Adam, I offered the trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, they could not bear it, Are you carry it and within in it? He said: What is in it, O Lord of the worlds? He said: If you carry it, it will be paid, and if you lose it, it will be tortured. bear it including, He did not stay in Paradise: except for the time between the first prayer and the afternoon prayer, until Satan took him out of it. And on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman who said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, told us two hadiths, I saw one of them and I was waiting for the other, He told us that honesty came down at the root of men's hearts, Then the Qur’an was revealed, so they learned from the Qur’an, and they learned from the Sunnah, then he told us about raising the trust.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Then the honest is: A - It is possible that the trusts that someone entrusts you with be small or large, and the debt could be “the wires”, and it could be that the person puts in a position and he is not worthy, and it is the first to understand and of course God is higher and knows best. B- Man carried it imagining that he was able to carry it, but life proves to us every day that there are deeds too many are custodians or given to those who do not deserve them, and here we are waiting for the hour if this matter spreads, betrayal is the opposite of honesty. For this particular importance, Islam preserved reason and enacted legislation that guarantees its safety and vitality, including: - He forbids everything that could affect the mind, harm it, or disrupt its energy, such as alcohol and drugs. Allah says ﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ والْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴾ [المائدة: 90 “O you who have believed, only wine and facilitator, idols, and the lottery is an abomination from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful” [Al-Ma’idah: 90] A- He legislated the deterrent punishment for intoxicants, due to its seriousness and its extremely harmful effect on the person the individual and the community. 3- He raised the mind in the spirit of independence in understanding and consideration Allah says ﴿ أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً قُلْ هَاتُوابُرْهَانَكُمْ ﴾ [الأنبياء: 24 ) Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, where is your proof.” (Al-Anbiya’: 24) We benefit from the noble verse In the past, we used to stand in front of such verses, and the words were confined to our mouth and were limited to small words that we do not know what to explain, and now after the data that we may know a small part of, we understand why God Almighty repeats them all the time in the Qur’an that they have taken gods besides Him, and God asks them a question of interrogation or denunciation. Draw it what you want, but it is a logical and rational question: Say, bring your proof: your evidence that there are gods other than God. Dear reader: Have you heard of someone who worships white mice and builds a temple of pure gold for them? please, do not forget to remove there is no god but God from your heart: 4 - How much he called for the development of the mind materially and morally The materially: With good food that strengthens the body and stimulates the mind, and from here he hates the judge to spend while he is hungry, and prefers serving food over prayer if they are present together, and from food for the mind also, that you do not overburden yourself at all (mind games)? mind games,? Do you know how many cases of Alzheimer's and dementia exist in the world? Did you know that our master Omar Ibn Al-Hattab used to say (Oh God, take care of my mind until I die) Do you know that Imam al-Shafi’i said (“The more I learn from time, the more I see my mental deficiency, and the more I learn, the more I learn about my ignorance) What does this have to do with playing games that entertain the mind, no, they are not games for entertainment, but games that improve the performance of the mind, why? In order to preserve one of the blessings of God that God has blessed you with and took away from others, either by inheritance or disease or otherwise - may God bless you and grant us health. Allah says ﴿ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ﴾ [فاطر:28] “Only among His servants are the scholars who fear God.” (Fatir: 28) That is, the one who fears God for the truth, not metaphor: the scholars, not only religious scholars, but any scholar in any field, and he is the one who appreciates God - the Most High - rightly, and Allah says also: ( And say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” [Taha: 114]) All that matters to us to understand is that preserving the mind is one of the five major goals of Islam in it... So our preservation of it is not out of diligence, but out of obligation, and God knows best. Fourth objective: The preserving the offspring It is intended to preserve the human race on earth through procreation, because Islam seeks to continue the human march on earth; Until God authorizes the annihilation of the world and inherits the earth and those on it. In order to achieve this goal, Islam legislated the following principles and legislation: 1 - The Marriage Law Islam legislated marriage and desired it, considering it the innate and clean path in which a man meets a woman, not for purely instinctive motives, but in addition to those motives, they meet in order to achieve a noble goal of preserving the human race, and seeking the righteous offspring that populate the world and build human life and take over the burdens of the caliphate on earth to hand it over to his successors so that human giving continues, and human civilization flourishes in the light of noble principles and virtuous values. 2 - Taking care of the upbringing of young people and deepening the bonds of intimacy obligating parents to take care of their children and spend on them; So that children can dispense with parental alimony. 3- The relationship between male and female should be encompassed by a set of moral principles and etiquette Which guarantees the achievement of the lofty goals of this relationship, and excludes the chaotic practices of relations between the sexes, where Islam blocks the way for the means of stimulating the human soul, by obligating the veil with special specifications, the legislation fights the causes of sedition. And in cases other than extreme necessity, it is forbidden for a man to be alone with a foreign woman, even if she is bound by the veil, except in the presence of one of her mahrams, and homes in Islam have great sanctity, as it is not permissible to enter them without permission. Allah says ﴿ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَبُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ﴾ [النور: 27]. “O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your houses Until they feel at ease and greet their family (An-Nur: 27). 4 - Prohibition of transgression against the honor Therefore, God forbade adultery as well as slander, and specified a deterrent punishment for each of them. Allah says ﴿ الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ ﴾ [النور: 2 The adulteress and the adulterer, flog each one of them with a hundred stripes, and no mercy will take you for them In the religion of God (An-Nur: 2 .) Allah says وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا ﴾النور: 4] And those who accuse chaste married women and then do not produce four martyrs, So flog them with eighty stripes and never accept their testimony (An-Nur: 4) Fifth goal: save the money Islam considered money a necessity of human life. He legislated legislation and directives that encourage its acquisition and collection, and ensure its maintenance, preservation and development, as follows: Ways to save money by finding and collecting 1 - Encouragement to seek livelihood Allah says ﴿ هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ ﴾ [الملك: 15] “It is He who has made the earth subservient to you, so walk in its paths and eat of His sustenance.” [Al-Mulk: 15] Zulul: the paved road, easy to cross, and the land as wide as it is from east or west, most of them are paved roads for communication between distant and near places, and God Almighty wants us to walk from the east to the west in the journey of searching for livelihood, and the paths are the bones between the shoulders and the west and that is the nickname, as the scholars yearn, striving for a livelihood is a type of saving money, and it is the last of the purposes of money, and how is this? Striving for halal livelihood and staying away from haram money, for whomever he wills, and the verse encourages travel and travel, if a country closes in on you for its sustenance, then God’s countries are many - if you can. Allah says وقال تعالى: ﴿ فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ﴾ And the Almighty said: “And when the prayer has been completed, disperse in the land and seek God’s grace.” Diffusion: dispersal and scattering Islam is the religion of order in the prayer queues, in eating at a specific time, all the illiterate in Radan and elsewhere, why does God - the Most High - want us to walk randomly after Friday prayer specifically? Perhaps because the sellers are mostly waiting for the presence of worshipers on the street, and it is a holiday, so perhaps their trade has stagnated, as for the spread of Muslims in every district, my money was freed for the sellers, and God knows best. 2 - Raising the status of work and higher than the destinies of workers The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “No one has ever eaten better food than the work of his hand, and the Prophet of God, David, used to eat from the work of his own hands. Allah says ( وماتكون في شأن وما تتلو منه من قرآن ولا تعملون من عمل إلا كنا عليكم شهودا إذ تفيضون فيه) (And what you are in a matter and what you recite from the Qur’an, and you do not do any work except that we are witnesses to you when you overflow in it. This means that the moment of commencing work - any work - even if the woman's work is in her home - we have witnesses from the angels (the moment of entering into it: and this, Hence, no one eats food better than the good of his hand. The wife who cooks food for her family members, and the worker, the farmer, the wage-earner, and the owner of investment companies enters it, It is work and toil until obtaining halal money without any suspicion that it is forbidden. He says, may God bless him and grant him peace (Give the worker his due before his sweat dries up) The worker in domestic or commercial affairs, such as the cleaning-worker - or the assistant to the wife, must give her wages before her sweat dries up from the housework, as well as the boy who works in a carpentry workshop, blacksmithing, home delivery worker, or any other form of halal work, who works Even up to sweat and fatigue. He says, may God bless him and grant him peace (Three I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection: a man who gave to me and then betrayed, a man who sold a free man and ate his price, and a man who rented hired and did not pay him his due) we all love the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - and we all wish to see him in a dream even once, and we all wish to be close to him on the Day of Resurrection, Imagine that your opponent is: the disputant of the disputed right, that is, he disputes with you instead of fleeing from you or greeting you after all this time you have spent in this world believing in him and you did not see him once. The first: A man was given something in the name of the Messenger: then he betrayed The gift is gifted, and there is no gift that can be turned back. The evidence is: the saying of the Messenger of God (the one who returns in his gift is like the one who returns in his vomit) and in this there is what is in it of despicable, who is the one who vomits and drinks what he vomited again, and here he not only returned in his gift but also betrayed any kind of treachery. The second: A man sold a free man and ate his money The scholars say: God, the Mighty and Sublime, has singled out food. This is because it is the greatest purpose, and God has made the sin of that severe. Because Muslims are equal in freedom, it is not permissible for a Muslim to sell freely, because whoever sells a free person is prohibited from disposing of what is freely, God permitted him, and obliged him to humiliate him, which God saved him from, and enslavement of the free is in two ways: to believe in it, then deny it or conceal it, and the second matter is that he uses it involuntarily after emancipation, and scholars have unanimously agreed to prevent the sale of free. And the meaning of this You are free, so thank God, there are slaves today in the whole world who are sold, bought and called by other names, but they are slaves in the time of the free, we are at the end of the twenty-first century. Humanity is monstrosities of all humanity, there are also those who trade in them and this is what he talks about The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “If you are one of them, fear God, and if you are free and rich, then congratulations to you. freed one of them from manumission and slavery if you able to do that. 3- Prohibition of acquiring money by illegal means that harm others Allah says: ﴿ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ﴾ [البقرة: 275] The Almighty said: “And God has permitted trade and forbidden usury.” [Al-Baqarah: 275] Allah says ﴿ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ ﴾[البقرة: 188 “And do not devour your wealth among yourselves unjustly.” [Al-Baqarah: 188] Partnerships and money that revolves between partners, or money that revolves between brothers, or money that revolves in trade between the seller and the buyer, or other different forms of money circulatio, forbidden not to eat: Why do most of God’s talk about money come in the form of “eating” like eating the money of an orphan? The truth is, we don't know exactly, but it seems that most of the money goes to eating and drinking, all that a person elevates in his social status is craving for more luxurious types of food, the idea that you eat and be satisfied from the suspicion of eating the money of a partner in business or the one with whom you trade, or you buy a commodity from the Internet and come in other than the specifications that you set from the ground up. All this and other types of eating people’s money unjustly. It is also forbidden to attack the property of others by theft, robbery or fraud. Alla says ﴿ وَالسَّارِقُ وَالسَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمَا ﴾[المائدة: 38 And the male and female thief, cut off their hands.” [Al-Ma’idah: 38] Praise be to God for the absence of punishments in many Islamic countries, otherwise the hands of many may be cut off. Why, O Lord, cut off the hand of the thief - may God grant us his grace - for a quarter of a dinar, what is this? This is unfair, we understand to cut off the hand of a thief In a cow or a lot of money or something is not it? As for a quarter of a dinar, this is unfair, no no It is not a matter of fear, it is a matter of principle (save money) This is a big goal of the five colleges in Islam, not just one of the pillars of the religion, and if the pillars of religion are great, and you are an expert that there is something called cyptlomania, or obsession with theft: you find flimsy excuses such as I need these things or they do not need them like me or they have a lot or this is a non-Muslim, so it is permissible to eat his money or embezzle it or otherwise as an attempt to convince himself that Theft is permissible. 4- Prohibition of spending money in illegal purposes He urged spending it in ways of good, based on one of the most important rules of the Islamic economic system: that money is God's money, and that the individual is a successor in it, and an agent in it. Allah says ﴿ وَأَنْفِقُوا مِمَّا جَعَلَكُمْ مُسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيهِ ﴾[الحديد: 7) “And spend of that which He has made you to be entrusted with” (Al-Hadid: 7) And Allah says وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ ﴾ [النور: 33] And give them from the wealth of God that has given you (An-Nur: 33). Hence, the owner of the money had to dispose of his money within the limits of what the Shari’a prescribed for him, so it is not permissible for him to be tempted by money and be overwhelmed by it; Because that is a factor of corruption and destruction, Allah says قال تعالى: ﴿ وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْنُهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا القَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا ﴾ [الإسراء: 16] The Almighty said: )And when We want to destroy a town, We order the people of luxury in it, So they committed immorality in it, and the word was true of it, so We destroyed it completely (Al-Isra: 16). 5 - It is not permissible for him to squander without importance Allah says ﴿ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا * إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُواإِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ﴾ [الإسراء: 26، 27]. And do not waste wastefully * Indeed, the wasters were brothers of the devils (Al-Isra: 26, 27). 5- Enacting legislation to protect the funds of minors and those who do not manage their money well, such as orphans and juniors; Until they reach adulthood.

  • The pillars of Islam

    [Page: 144] The third hadith on the authority of Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with them both, said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying:   Islam is built on five things: the testimony that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and stand up for prayer, and pay zakat, Hajj to the House, and fasting in Ramadan, narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The general description The pillars of Islam are: The Islamic structure consists of 5 pillars Some points that we should consider regarding the noble hadith: 1- Building, and building is made of clay. Here the building is intangible as it is something that happens within the soul as a result of worshiping these pillars. 2 - If any column leans, then the entire building is crooked, but even if one of the pillars leans, the rest of the pillars must be kept strong and solid, especially prayer, as it is the foundation of the building. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's start with the details: 1 - Testimony that there is no god but God The general Description 1 - One of the pillars of Islam 2- Verbal worship On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (God will save a man from my nation, over the heads of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine records will be spread over him, every record is as far as the eye can see. Then he says: Do you deny any of this? Have you been wronged by my memorizing scribes? He says: No, Lord. He says: Do you have an excuse? And he says: No, Lord, He says: Yes, you have done us a favor, for there is no injustice done to you today, then a card is taken out that says: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, and he says: Bring your weight, He says: O Lord, what is this card with these records? He said: You will not be wronged. He said: then the records are placed in a bowl, The card is in a cuff, so the records are scattered, and the card is heavy, so nothing is heavy with the name of God. A pause with the testimony that there is no god but God Do you remember the infidels of Quraysh? They are infidels, but they used to carry a word and never put it down, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - came to perfect good morals. The Arabs had and still have morals that only religion can complete. They used to memorize 1000 verses of poetry, they recite it orally in Dar al-Nadwah due to their eloquence, even though most of them were illiterate and neither read nor wrote. So why was it a sentence consisting of 5 words (There is no god but God)? Is it too big for them to say it on their tongues? Because they understood that it would separate a person from his old ideas and beliefs, because it might make him fight the people closest to him, not because he disbelieved in what he believed in, rather, because he is a warrior against God and His Messenger, and you: Have you uttered, “There is no god but God,” do you truly feel that God is one God who has no partner, then the judgment is his in yourself and in all aspects of your life as well, whatever you feel, except that there is no god but God, it is a card that protects you from hellfire, God forbid. The conclusion It is said that a man is faulty with his word, and nothing else is faulty with him to the extent that he says a word, he cannot fulfill it, and it is a burden except for the one whom God Almighty grants him success. Therefore, your saying there is no god but God is not a verbal act of worship that you say once, And you enter Paradise with it and the matter is over. Rather, it is a way of life that will change your thinking almost 180 degrees in all your love and hate in this life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 - Stand up for the prayer The general Description 1 - Ritual worship 2 - Stand up it: in the soul and not in the limbs. the explanation Allah says {وأقم الصلاة إن الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر} (العنكبوت:45)، ((Prayer forbids indecency and evil [Al-Ankabut: 45])) The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said when he was told: So-and-so prays all night, When the morning came, he steals, He said: What you say will stop him - or he said - his prayer will prevent him, Narrated by Ahmad, Al-Bazzar, Al-Tahawi, and Al-Baghawi with an authentic chain of transmission from the hadith of Abu Hurairah. Immorality: adultery and all other extremely heinous sins. The objectionable: what the righteous people in a given society deny. We take from this hadith 1-     Stand for the prayer is not just a ritual that you perform and sit just to get the benefit of your body’s movement during the day and night, rather, it works for you even though you do not realize it. You do many things in your life and you do not understand their meaning and you wait for the result with great patience, such as going on a such and such diet, Or you do meditation or yoga...etc. You do that and you do not understand and after a while you actually change, and God is the ideal: prayer does that to you and you do not feel the text of the Messenger’s hadith on that. The conclusion 1 - To establish prayer from the beginning of the word (God is Great), thus separating yourself from everything that is smaller than God - the Almighty - You enter into the company of God and He fixes everything that is wrong with you, for it is your ascension to heaven, where it is said: If you want to talk to God, pray, and if you want God to talk to you, read the Qur’an, 2 - When you build a new relationship with someone (husband/wife - son and father - brother and brother or any relationship you know), you often talk to him a lot, the less you talk to him, the less love there will be, and there cannot be a connection between two people unless they communicate. God Almighty does not want to burden you with the hardships you do day and night, but rather He wants you to have a close connection with Him. 3 - You and I are destined to perish, even if we are among those who live long. The people closest to you in love will leave you on the day of your death, and no one will be with you except God - the Almighty - Therefore, if you did not have a relationship with Him, how would you trust Him with your fears of the unknown (the hereafter), your home and you and my final home? At the end of this file, I will attach to you: a file on the spiritual, psychological, and physical benefits of the prayer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 - Al - Zakat The general Description 1 – A pillar of the Islamic home 2 - Zakat: purification On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Three things I swear upon: God will not make anyone who has a share in Islam, like someone who has no arrow, and the arrows of Islam are three: the prayer, and fasting, and zakat, and God does not take charge of a servant in this world and give him someone else on the Day of Resurrection.) the talk. [Narrated by Ahmad with a good chain of transmission]. The explanation Purge what? Purifying your money from what is forbidden, as every money you earn before you spend it is originally permissible, and the rest of the money: It is possible that it contains something similar to what is forbidden and you do not realize it, like usury, or you took it unlawfully, or you did not work with it as you should, or, or, so by giving out part of your money, you purify your stinginess, you purify the money of its sanctity with it, You purify souls around you who did not get what you got. It is a principle that does not diminish you or diminish your wealth, but rather increases the good and lawful origin that you have and blesses you with it. The conclusion It was said that a dinar was given this name in Arabic, only because it is religion and fire, so if you take it with its rightful share, then it is your religion, and if you take it without its due right, then it is your fire - praise be to God. It was also said about charity that it is proof, Proof of what? Proof of your faith that you are monotheistic and that you have a wise God who chooses for you how you walk in life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4- Ramadan fasting The general Description 1 – One of the pillars of Islam 2- Ritual worship On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Whoever prays Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.) Agreed upon. On the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (A man’s temptation is in his family, his money, his children, and his neighbour, Prayer, fasting, charity, and commands and prohibitions expiate it.) Agreed upon. On the authority of Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of the father, and the supplication of the fasting person, and the supplication of the traveler) Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in “Al-Sunan” and Al-Dia’ in “Al-Ahadith Al-Mukhtara”, and its chain of transmission is good. From the previous hadiths we conclude the following: We will not talk about the importance of intermittent fasting, as you are an expert in that. The best type of intermittent fasting without water is Islamic fasting, so this is not our topic, but what concerns you and us: Why did God Almighty impose fasting? Do we feel for the poor, so why do the poor fast? God knows best: But do you see the sun every morning? You are one of the lucky ones, because you live in a country with the sun. Did this sun come out one day and say, “I will not go out today, I am very tired, or I need maintenance, for example?” Is anyone in this life able to maintain the sun by burning it at the equator? No sane person would say that. Now: Is your body getting tired? Do you get up one day and say: I will not go to work because of the fatigue I feel? A lot, and therefore you yourself are placed in a mold called the body. This body needs periodic maintenance, maintaining your body is fasting, which is once a year and for a whole month. Diseases will come out of you, if you fast as God intended, no sugar, no excess food, and follow the Sunnah of the Prophet...etc. You have put your body in maintenance or called it with modern names (detox) for a limited period, but it is very effective. I will attach a link to you about fasting, do not miss it, and please share it. The conclusion You are not performing hollow ritualistic acts of worship. All you care about is pleasing the Lord. Rather, you are improving yourself, your body, and your entire life for the better, do not feel privileged that you are doing something, because in reality you are the beneficiary and no one else. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5- Hajj to the House The general Description 1 - A pillar of faith 2 - Ritual worship On the authority of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, may God be pleased with her, she said: O Messenger of God! We see jihad as the best deed, so should we not strive? He said: (No, but the best jihad is a Hajj with not mixed with any sins) Narrated by Al-Bukhari. The general explanation Imagine that the not mixes with any sins Hajj has no reward except Paradise, why? Do you think you will perform Hajj Mabroor easily? Can you hold your tongue from idle talk, obscenity, insults, arguments, etc.? A period of time (the time of Hajj) in the midst of huge numbers of people, with languages that you do not understand anything of and temperaments that may not suit yours, and yet you are in control of yourself. Hajj brings you closer to humility toward God, you took off your elegant, branded clothes, perhaps, and wore the least clothes that the least poor person could wear, and they were equal in place, clothing, perhaps food, and even relieving oneself, and it is a feeling that only a true believer in God - the Almighty - can achieve. The conclusion Hajj teaches you humility and brings you closer to the meaning of the Day of Resurrection, even if you believe it or anyone around you in your family/acquaintances or others does not believe it, the scenes of Hajj will return with you and you will voluntarily transmit them to others, your outlook on the short, boring, painful life will change, and you will despise yourself time and time again if you escape for a little and follow the same doctrine (Hajj or Umrah) and save yourself from the hustle and bustle of life. As for the summary of the pillars of Islam You are like a new or old Muslim who came from the quarters of Islam, and you did not have the chance to get closer to God. If you did the pillars of Islam according to what God Almighty wanted, then you would have established the beginning of the religion, He is the one who will change everything in you and you will learn everything voluntarily. We will not forget the hadith of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - No one will be takes it hard by religion except that it will overpower him.”  What is meant is: the prohibition of strictness in religion, for a person to burden himself with worship that he cannot bear except at a severe cost, It is not required to bear the hardships of worship. All that is required is a heart that prostrates to God in humility, and a body that obeys the heart of its believe in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to the physical, spiritual and psychological benefits of prayer https://dinaeltawilah.wixsite.com/rrm3-members-all-ove/post/the-prayer A link about the physical and psychological benefits of fasting https://dinaeltawilah.wixsite.com/rrm3-members-all-ove/post/the-physical-mental-benefits-of-the-islamic-fasting

  • The Muslim belief in the Virgin Mary

    The Lineage It is stated in the books of interpretation that Zakaria and Imran married two sisters, Maryam’s mother, whose name was Hannah, was with Imran, and her sister, Umm Yahya, was with Zakaria, Imran died and his wife Hanna was carrying a fetus in her womb that she had vowed to God Almighty, where God Almighty said in his book: Allah says {رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطْنِي مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ}. {My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my belly, freeing So accept from me, for you are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Her mother It was said that Mary's mother (Hannah) had given up on having children, one time she was sitting under a tree and saw a bird feeding its young, and her heart longed for a young one to raise, She prayed to God Almighty to bless her with a son, and after some time her husband, Imran, died, She knew that she was pregnant, so she made what was in her stomach a vow, that is, a person who worships God Almighty a lot and has nothing to do with the affairs of this world except the worship and obedience of God. God Almighty chose Adam, peace be upon him, and created him with His own hand and taught him all the names, and chose Noah, peace be upon him, from his descendants, He was the first messenger of humanity, and he chose from the descendants of Noah Abraham, peace be upon him, and made his descendants the prophets, He chose the family of Imran from among them, including Mary and her son, the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him. her dad Maryam’s father is Imran bin Yashem bin Amun bin Misha bin Hezekiah bin Ahriq, Ibn Jotham, Ibn Azaria, Ibn Amaziah, Ibn Yaush, Ibn Agrehu, Ibn Yazem, The son of Jehovashet, the son of Ensha, the son of Abian, the son of Rechiam, the son of Solomon, the son of David, peace be upon them both. What is the vow that Mary’s mother made while Mary was in her womb? Vow: A person vows something: he obligates it upon himself, whether it is charity, or something else. What is Mary’s mother’s request from God Almighty? That is why she asked God Almighty to protect her and her offspring from the accursed Satan, That is, she was made a refuge with God to protect her fetus from Satan, The pregnancy of Mary’s mother was associated with many acts of worship, and her birth as well, as this supplication was one of the acts of worship, and God Almighty had answered her, and He protected her from Satan, as this was mentioned in the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, as narrated by Abu Hurairah - may God be pleased with him - on the authority of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - that he said: “There is no newborn among the children of Adam unless Satan touches him when he is born, then he starts screaming from the touch of Satan, except for Mary and her son, then Abu Hurairah says: {And I seek refuge with you and her offspring, From Satan, the accursed} The reason for the vow The meaning of what she vowed is that she made what was in her stomach dedicated to worship, He was said to be a liberator of the church and a servant to it. At that time, there were people who isolated themselves from the people and did nothing but worship in the church and serve the Torah in it. It was also said that in the time of the Children of Israel, when women gave birth to a boy, she would raise him and breastfeed him until he grew up and became strong, then she would take him to those who knew the Scriptures, You tell them that he was freed for them to serve them, and it was said that he was freed to serve the church for a year, some commentators said that they were freeing boys but not girls. Did the Virgin (Mother Mary) fulfill her vow? When Mary’s mother gave birth, she gave birth to a girl, the Virgin Mary, and she knew then that she would not be able to fulfill her vow, If there are only men in the church and it is not permissible for women to meet with them, that is why she did not fulfill her vow and join the church, and this is what was stated in the remembrance of God, Blessed and Most High, For the birth of the Lady Maryam, where God Almighty said: {And when she gave birth to her, she said, {فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهَا قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُهَا أُنثَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتْ وَلَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالْأُنثَى ۖ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهَا مَرْيَمَ وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ} “My Lord, I have given birth to her as a female, and God knows best what she has given birth to, And the male is not like the female. and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with you and for her offspring from the accursed Satan.} She said that the male is not like the female because the female is not able to serve the church as it should because her nature is different from the male and because it is not right for a woman to be a servant to the priests in the church, In her saying this is an apology that she offers to God Almighty, and He knows best about it and its structure and knows best what it has put forth. Hannah (Maryam’s mother) named her daughter Maryam and sought refuge with God Almighty for her and her descendants from the deception and plots of Satan, so God Almighty accepted from Mary’s mother what she vowed and what she wanted of good for the church in her vow, and gave her the reward for that, Where God, Blessed and Most High, said: {So her Lord accepted her with a good acceptance and caused her to grow a beautiful plant} and she chose the name Maryam out of closeness to God Almighty, and turning to Him to protect her, so she takes part of her name and her actions are like the meaning that the name carries. In their language, the name Maryam means worshiper and servant of her religion. Zechariah's sponsorship of the Virgin Mary Why was Zechariah, peace be upon him, the one who sponsored Mary? The Virgin Mary was raised, In the house of worship, it was sponsored by the Prophet of God, Zechariah, peace be upon him, - The meaning of his sponsorship for her is that she became under his care, and Zechariah was the one chosen by God Almighty. There was a dispute between the righteous people among her for her sponsorship They drew lots among themselves, and Zechariah, peace be upon him, was the one who won the lottery. God Almighty has wisdom and purpose in allowing you to grow up in the house of one of His prophets. This is what God Almighty told us when He said: {ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلامَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ} {This is from the news of the unseen that We reveal to you, And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary and you were not with them when they disputed.} The Holy Verse tells us the following: 1 - The story of the birth and upbringing of the Virgin Mary was told by God - the Almighty - to His Messenger Muhammad in Surah Maryam and in several other places in the Qur’an, and He called it: (News from the unseen: and news is the correct, important message) 2 - God Almighty explains details to His Prophet Muhammad that he does not know because he does not know the unseen or the events preceding the revelation of the Qur’an except from God Almighty, which indicates that the Messenger of God is illiterate, who neither reads nor writes, and was not mixed with the storytellers of the People of the Book before God - the Almighty - sent him with the Qur’an. 3 - The pens are the shares of the lottery, and they did not just vote, but the verse tells us that they disputed about it, and here is a pause: Sponsorship is legitimate for the seeker of knowledge, whether religious or worldly. The niche of the Virgin Mary. What is the niche? God Almighty guaranteed Mary’s livelihood, so she used to adhere to the mihrab and seclude herself in it, and the mihrab is the front of the house of worship. Since she reached puberty, she used to sit in it, worshiping God Almighty and drawing closer to Him, Whenever Zechariah, peace be upon him, entered her and was her guarantor, he found provision before her, and he was amazed at that and asked her about it and what it was like, Unless she confirms to him that the provision is from God Almighty, who He provides to His servants without limit, as God Almighty said: {فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا ۖ قَالَ يَا مَرْيَمُ أَنَّى لَكِ هَذَا ۖ قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ} {Then her Lord accepted her with a good acceptance and caused it to grow a beautiful plant, And Zechariah took charge of her whenever Zechariah entered the sanctuary over her, He found sustenance with her. He said, “O Mary, how can you get this, She said, “It is from God. Indeed, God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning.” What happened to the Virgin Mary after she retired from people? After Lady Mary had isolated herself from the people and was alone to worship God Almighty alone in her shrine, which was located east of Jerusalem, she once went out next to the mihrab because of her menstruation, and she had taken an eastern place, which was said to be alone in the mihrab because it was to the east of Jerusalem, It was said that it was taken to a place next to the rising of the sun. Because God Almighty made a shade for her and He is the one who isolates her from the people. After Mary chose an eastern place, She isolated herself from the people and placed a veil between her and them. God Almighty sent Gabriel, peace be upon him, to her. Gabriel - peace be upon him - and good news about the son Why was Lady Mary amazed at the good news of Gabriel, peace be upon him? God Almighty sent Gabriel - peace be upon him - to the Virgin Mary in the form of a human being. He was a man of equal creation and in the best form, When she was surprised to see him, she sought refuge in God and began to hope that he would fear God Almighty and fear Him in her, so he told her that he was a messenger from God Almighty, He gave her the good news of the great miracle that God had chosen for her instead of humans,   It is the birth of a son to her without having a father. Why did Lady Mary withdraw from people? After Gabriel - peace be upon him - announced to Mary that she was pregnant and she felt it, she had no choice but to isolate herself from people, stay away from them, and separate herself from all creatures, so she went to a place far from people's eyes where no one could see her, and she went knowing that she was pregnant and wanted to hide him from people so that no one would know about him. The story of her pregnancy with Jesus - peace be upon him - The Virgin Mary remained an ascetic worshiper, secluding herself from her family in a place to the east, and the place was isolated from the people by a veil or barrier, Allah says (وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ مَريَمَ إِذِ انتَبَذَت مِن أَهلِها مَكانًا شَرقِيًّا*فَاتَّخَذَت مِن دونِهِم حِجابًا فَأَرسَلنا إِلَيها روحَنا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَها بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا) (And mention in the Book Maryam when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place, So she took a veil from them, and We sent to her Our Spirit, and he appeared to her as a normal human being.) Breathing the spirit of Jesus - peace be upon him into the Virgin Mary Gabriel - peace be upon him - blew into her mouth, and it was said into the pocket of her armor, so the blow reached her stomach and she became pregnant with him, When Vibe became pregnant, she isolated herself from her people and went to a far place in the furthest part of the village, until the time of giving birth came, so she took refuge in the trunk of a palm tree, and in the meantime, feelings of love for God, belief in Him, and fear of being accused of her religion and purity were mixed, In the consciousness of Mary, peace be upon her, she wished to die before giving birth, then God Almighty sent a miracle that would perpetuate her memory until the Day of Resurrection, and Jesus, peace be upon him, spoke, With his mother not to be sad, as God has made him one of the greats of the world, He told her to shake the trunk of the palm tree so that moisture would fall on it so that she could eat from it, He also told her that she should not speak when she meets her people. God Almighty said: (فَأَجاءَهَا المَخاضُ إِلى جِذعِ النَّخلَةِ قالَت يا لَيتَني مِتُّ قَبلَ هـذا وَكُنتُ نَسيًا مَنسِيًّا*فَناداها مِن تَحتِها أَلّا تَحزَني قَد جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحتَكِ سَرِيًّا) (Birth brought her to the trunk of the palm tree, She said, “I wish I had died before this and been forgotten, *So he called to her from beneath her: “Do not be sad, for your Lord has placed a small river under you, the little river. It was said: Under you, meaning: God has placed it under your command. If you command it to run, it will run, and if you command it to hold back, it will hold back, Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, said: Gabriel, peace be upon him, was struck and it is said: Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, struck the ground with his foot, and a spring of fresh water appeared and flowed. What supernatural events occurred in the birth of Jesus, peace be upon him? When Mary, peace be upon her, felt that her birth was approaching, and the premonitions of childbirth came to her, she left the farthest place she had taken, searching for a place that would help her in her birth, and because of the pain of childbirth, she took the trunk of a palm tree, To lean on him and cling to him to help her give birth, and she was suffering from the pain of childbirth and thinking about the shame that would befall her after giving birth, She even wished for death because of the situation she was experiencing, but God Almighty facilitated her birth, So he sent Gabriel - peace be upon him - to tell her that God Almighty had made a small river beneath her. It was said that the (Saria ) is Jesus is also said to the man because of his perfection and to give her good news that he will have great status so that she will not be sad and make her birth easier for her. When she shook the trunk, it bore fruit and became moist, so that she would have water and food available for her to eat and drink, and she would be comfortable with the birth of her son, Who will be a good boy and a man of value and status, and that she should not speak to people, so God Almighty commanded her to be at peace and calm, rejecting frightening thoughts and obsessions and not expecting what you hate, for God Almighty is with you and He is the best protector of His faithful servants. Why was the disapproval of her people against her so great? When Lady Mary came to her people, carrying her son in her hands, they disapproved of her and expressed their dismay. How could this chaste worshiper of good lineage produce a son without marriage? they told her that her father was only a good man who only knew anything, and that her mother was not a woman whom men wanted. they reminded her of the elders of her people, so they called her Aaron’s sister, He is the Prophet of God and the brother of Moses, peace be upon him. They did not remember that the Virgin Mary used to seclude herself in the mihrab and that she was raised in the house of a prophet, and that she did not want men, but when they saw it, they denounced it for her and looked down upon it and described it as something blasphemous: (slander and fabrication of lies) What did Jesus say while he was in the cradle? When Mary’s people were upset about her situation, she pointed to the child she was carrying, which was Jesus - peace be upon him - and they were amazed at what she did and said to her: How can we talk to a child in his cradle? Then God Almighty spoke to him and told them that he is a servant of God Almighty and a prophet from Him. The Book of God Almighty describes this situation in His Almighty saying: {فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ ۖ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا، قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ آتَانِيَ الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيًّا، وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَانِي بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا، وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِي وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا}. Then she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to someone who is a child in the cradle, He said, “I am a servant of God. He gave me the Book and made me a prophet, and made me blessed wherever I am, and commanded me to pray and give zakat, as long as I live, and I honor my mother and do not make me a wretched tyrant, And peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am resurrected alive.}

  • The visiting etiquette in Islam

    The article PDF in Arabic, please for: The Visiting etiquette in Islam On the authority of Muadh, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: ((God Almighty said: My love is obligatory for those who love in me and sit for me and those who exchange each other for Me, and those who visit one another for Me)). [said by Ahmed and Albany]. On the authority of Anas: ((The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to visit the Ansar, greet their children, and wipe their heads)); [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi (2696) in a similar manner, Al-Nasa’i in Al-Sunan Al-Kubra (8349), Ibn Hibban (459), and the wording is his, and Al-Baghawi in Sharh Al-Sunnah (6/335)]. On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with them both, he said: ((The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me: O Abdullah bin Amr, Was I not told that you fast during the day and pray at night? I said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: Do not do that. Fast and break your fast, and get up and sleep. Your body has a right over you, your eye has a right over you, and your wife has a right over you, indeed, your visitor has a right over you.) [Narrated by Al-Bukhari (1975) and Muslim (1159)]. Some questions and their answers Mention the evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah that visits are obligatory in Islam? Allah says ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ * فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فِيهَا أَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوا فَارْجِعُوا هُوَ أَزْكَى لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ﴾ [النور:27،28].“ O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own until you have become sociable and have greeted their inhabitants that is better for you, so that you may remember, If you do not find anyone there, do not enter it until you are given permission, and if it is said to you, “Return,” then return. That is purer for you, and God is Knowing of what you do” (An-Nur: 27, 28). On the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace -: “A man visited a brother of his in another village, and God prepared for him an angel on his way, When he came to him, he said, “Where do you want?” He said, “I want a brother of mine in this town.” He said, “Do you have a favor that you wish for, He said, “No, except that I loved him for the sake of God Almighty, He said, “I am the Messenger of God to you, and that God has loved you as you loved him.” [Narrated by Muslim]. What is the evidence that visiting relatives is obligatory in Islam? On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: (Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him maintain his ties of kinship) Narrated by Al-Bukhari (6138). On the authority of Aisha, she said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said (the womb is attached to the throne, saying: Whoever joins me, God will connect him, and whoever cut off me, God will cut off him.) Narrated by Al-Bukhari (5). 989) and Muslim (2555) What are the benefits of visits? The visiting relatives, neighbors, friends, and other general Muslims; It is a means of strengthening affection, uniting hearts, and strengthening ties, and through it, the forgetful remembers, It alerts the heedless, teaches the ignorant, relieves souls, alleviates misfortunes and sorrows, and other benefits hoped for from visits, Mention from the Qur’an or Sunnah what supports that it is necessary to honor the guest? On the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he ordered it and made it linked to belief in God and the Last Day. He said: “whoever believes in God and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor, and whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his guest, whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent, “Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. - Whoever believes in God and the Last Day should honor his guest.” First: the guest etiquette Bring your intention when visiting On the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace: (Indeed, a man visited a brother of his in another village, and God provided for him, on his way an angel, When he came to him, he said: Where do you want? He said: I want a brother in this village, He said: Do you have a blessing that you wish for, He said: No, except that I loved him for the sake of God Almighty. He said: For I am the Messenger of God to you, that God has loved you as you loved him for Him) Narrated by Muslim (2567). Set a visit time by phone or mobile message This is done by setting an appointment for the visit via phone, mobile message, or similar means of communication, He avoids the times when it is likely that the owner of the house does not like anyone coming to him, as it is a time of rest, or a time for studying for himself or his children...etc. The visitor must sit in the place specified by the house owner Ibn Muflih, may God have mercy on him, said: He should look at the custom of the owner of the house in this regard, and it is not permissible for him to transgress it. Did the owner of the house know that he was seating guests in any place, if there is a specific place where the owner of the house usually sits and the guest sits, the visitor sits there, if he is appointed and does not speak, then we look at the custom of the place and sit there. If he has neither custom nor habit, then custom and habit In that case, sitting without special permission is due to him obtaining permission to enter. as long as he brought you into the house, this means that you should choose a place and sit in it if the owner of the house does not have custom or habit. Only a pious person will enter your house On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: (Do not keep company with anyone but a believer, and let no one eat your food except a pious one.) Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi (2395) and Abu Dawud (483). 2) Al-Khattabi, may God Almighty have mercy on him, said: “This only came about food for invitation, not food for need, and that is because God Almighty said (And they feed food out of love for Him to the poor, the orphan, and the captive), and it is known that their captives were infidels, neither believers nor pious, but he warned against keeping company with someone who is not pious, and discouraged mingling with him or eating with him, for eating creates familiarity and affection in the hearts. Avoid prohibited times for visiting He does not go so much that his hosts become dissatisfied with him, and the person does not prolong his absence in an unusual way, so the connection is severed and affection disappears from the hearts, On the authority of Abu Dharr, he said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: “O Abu Dharr, visit intermittently, you will beloved more, [Narrated by Al-Tabarani with an authentic chain of transmission], meaning: Visit sometimes and cut off other times. He does not leave until he asks for permission On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: “If one of you visits his brother and sits with him, Do not get up until he asks for permission, and if one of you comes to the council, let him greet, and if he wants to get up, let him greet, for the first is not more deserving over the last.” Going out with the visitor to the door of the house It is polite for the head of the house to go out with the visitor and accompany him to the door of the house. Abu Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam visited Ahmad bin Hanbal. Abu Ubaid said: when I wanted to stand up, he stood with me. I said: Do not do it, Abu Abdullah, Al-Sha’bi said: “A complete visit to the visitor is to walk with him to the door of the house and take his passengers.” He should not enter a room or the like without his permission Allah says ( يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فِيهَا أَحَدًا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ لَكُمُ ارْجِعُوا فَارْجِعُوا هُوَ أَزْكَى لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ ) النور (27 - 28). (O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own until you have maintained sociable and greeted its inhabitants, that is better for you, so that you may remember, but if you do not find anyone therein, do not enter it until you are given permission. And if it is said to you, “Return,” then return, it is purer for you, and God is Knowing of what you do.” (An-Nur: 27-28). Ask permission three times, with a little time between them There is an opportunity for the owner of the house to open the door and give permission to enter. If the door does not have a bell and requires knocking, knock politely if it is possible to hear by knocking lightly, let him suffice, otherwise, according to need and according to what is reasonable. Permission form: greeting. Do I come in On the authority of Rabi’i, he said: A man from Bani Amir told us that he asked permission to come to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, while he was in a house, and he said: Come in?  Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to his servant: Go out to this man, So teach him how to ask a permission, and say to him: Say peace be upon you, may I come in? t he man heard him and said: Peace be upon you. Shall I come in? So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave him permission, and he entered.) Narrated by Abu Dawud (5177), and authenticated by Al-Albani in “Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud” (3/270). He does not face the door, but stands to the right or left On the authority of Abdullah bin Busr, he said: (When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to the door of a people, he would not face the door, From the in front of it, but from its right or left corner, And he says: Peace be upon you, peace be upon you. That is because there were no curtains over the houses at that time.) Narrated by Abu Dawud (5186). On the authority of Huzayl, he said: (A man came and stood at the door of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asking permission, So he stood at the door - facing the door - and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him: Thus - on your behalf - or thus, for permission is only from seing.) Narrated by Abu Dawud (5174), and authenticated by Al-Albani in “Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud” (3/269). If the owner of the house asks: Who? He says his known name and does not say me. On the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, may God be pleased with them both, that he said: I came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in repayment of a debt that my father had owed, So I knocked on the door, and he said: Who is this? So, I said: I am, He said: I am, I am as if he hated it.) Narrated by Al-Bukhari (6250) and Muslim (2155). If he is not given permission, let him return and not get angry “If the people of the house say to the one asking for permission: Go back, he must go back, because God Almighty says: (And if it is said to you, “Go back,” then return, for that is purer for you.) some of the scholars wished that he asked permission from some of his friends to say to him: Return, so that he may return, and he obtains the virtue of returning mentioned in his saying: (It is purer for you); because what God said: It is purer for us, there is no doubt that there is good and reward for us in it, And knowledge is with God Almighty.” End. “Adwaa al-Bayan” (6/202). not sit with the host for a long time A prolonged stay with the owner of the house causes boredom and annoyance, the benefit of the visit is removed, and the pleasure of meeting turns into boredom and burdensomeness, and affection turns into hatred. The Pray for the owner of the house Among the supplications mentioned by the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in this regard: - (O God, feed whoever fed me, and give drink to whoever gave me drink) Narrated by Muslim (2055). - (O God, bless them in what You have provided for them, and forgive them and have mercy on them) Narrated by Muslim (2042) - (The fasting people broke their fast with you, and the righteous ate your food, May the angels’ blessings be upon you.” Narrated by Abu Dawud (3854), and authenticated by Al-Albani in “Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud” (2/459). Not to looking at the private parts of the house And in the two Sahihs on the authority of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - he said: “If someone were to look at you without permission and you hit him with a pebble and gouged out his eye, there would be no blame on you.” Not to spy or eavesdrop on the household If the owner of the house gets up to bring coffee, tea, or something else, he begins to look through the holes in the doors at the people of the house and their sanctities, and there is no doubt that this is one of the forbidden matters, God Almighty forbade spying, and God Almighty said: “And do not spy,” and peace and blessings of God be upon him said: “And do not spy” The noble prophetic directive came to gouge out the eye of the person in this situation, and he has no blood money or retaliation. Rather, his eye is wasted. The visit must be free of legal violations Such as mingling, shaking hands with foreign women, watching corrupt satellite channels, and other reprehensible things. The visit should be short the visit should be short and brief, if the visit is not obligatory and is not intended from a faraway place, because a long visit leads to boredom, wastes time, makes the visitor burdensome, and may destroy his affection. Because some people are harmful, you see them sitting at the forge from the afternoon until the hour of sleep, eating the leftovers of lunch, and perhaps taking a rest after eating in people’s homes, then, after sunset, he sits for coffee and tea, waits until dinner time, and then goes to visit someone else, as if he were in a hotel with an open buffet. Don't let your children mess around in other people's homes So the man or woman brings their children to visit, especially if there is no guidance and direction for the children before the visit, as they may destroy, break, play and mess around in people’s homes, they break and destroy him, and he does not leave his visit unless the family members breathe a sigh of relief so that they are safe from the reproaches of others and do not burden his visit. That he does not lead the household in their prayers On the authority of Abu Attiya, who said: Malik bin Al-Huwaith used to come to us in our prayer place and speak, so one day the prayer came, so we told him to come forward? He said: Let some of you come forward, so I can tell you why I don’t come forward, I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: “Whoever visits a people should not lead them in prayer, And let a man from among them lead them.” [Authenticated by Al-Albani, and Al-Tirmidhi said This is a good and authentic hadith, and this is acted upon according to most people of knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others, they said: The owner of the house is more deserving of the Imamate than the visitor. Do not give yourself free rein to ask about the price of furniture or anything else During his visit, the visitor may see some of the good furniture and arrangement of the house, so he begins to ask the owner of the house about the furniture, and its price, and other questions and inquiries that may cause the homeowner to be embarrassed, which is not appropriate for a Muslim. He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Part of the goodness of a person’s Islam is his abandoning what does not concern him Second: the host etiquette He should not raise his voice at the guest or any of the household This is not polite or respectful, rather he should lower his voice and muffle it. To Fluent in his faces when they receive them Imam Al-Awza’i, may God have mercy on him, was asked: What is honoring a guest? He said: Fluent face and good speech. To tell the guests something that makes them happy He speaks to them in a way that pleases their souls He gives them good news He should not remove the table before the guests have had enough It is not part of Islam to remove the food while the guests are still eating, nor to look at the places of their food while they are eating not too silent in their presence nor is he absent from them Silence makes the guest feel that you are not welcome, and being absent from them for a long period of time, even if to prepare food, it is preferable to have a relative sit with them and not leave them alone The host does not rush (guest) to leave but deposits him at the door of the house Indirect speech or standing after a long visit On the authority of Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, he said: “When the Messenger of God married Zainab bint Jahsh, He called the people and they ate, then they sat talking, and it was as if he was preparing to get up, but they did not get up, When he saw that, he got up, and when he got up, those who got up got up, and three people sat down, then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to enter, and the people were sitting, Then they got up, so I went and came and informed the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace - they had set off, so he came and entered.)

  • The Three “Selfs” via Islam

    What are the three Selfs? 1 - The self confidence 2 - The self esteem 3 - the self worth It’s easy to confuse self-confidence with self-esteem, and self-esteem with self-worth. Self-confidence is the attitude you have about your skills and abilities. When you have self-confidence, you are more willing to trust yourself and make choices that make you feel more in control in your life. Self-esteem refers to a person’s beliefs about their own worth and value. People often make decisions and choices for their lives based on their self-esteem Self-worth is about valuing yourself. Merriam-Webster defines self-worth as “a feeling that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect.” Regardless of what others say or do, people with a healthy sense of self-worth accept themselves and treat themselves with respect. As you read above, in the three Selfs, they interact with each other to a great extent, and the question here is: Did Islam belittle these three Selfs or any of them, or did it support that? To answer this question, I will present a brief story by the great companion Musab bin Umair. The story in brief for those who do not know it Musab was one of the most elegant men of the Quraysh, distinguished by his elegance and luxurious clothes, He was known for his wonderful scent of luxurious perfumes, and he was known for his intelligence and fluency of speech, and when he sat in the gatherings of the men of Quraish, he would listen to him despite his young age, after a short while, he heard with those who had heard about Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. As a young man with an eloquent tongue and a lover of everything new, he wanted to learn about this new religion that was being persecuted in Mecca, so he went to the house of Al-Arqam Ibn Abi Al-Arqam, until God Almighty opened his heart to Islam, but the winds did not always bring what the ships desired, He had a mother with a very strong personality who was feared by men, and she was against the Muhammadan message with all her strength and she learned of her elegant son’s conversion to Islam, she robbed him of money, luxurious clothes, and plentiful food, and locked him in the corner of the house, as events unfolded, he fled from his mother’s house and migrated with the Messenger of God, May God bless him and grant him peace, to Medina, where the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - appointed him as an ambassador for the new Muslims in Medina to teach them their religion. The witness of this story Listen with me to this part of his story - may God be pleased with him - so that you can learn and know how much self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth he had, and that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - He supported this behavior and did not reject it or interfere in the way he dealt with it or restrict it to a certain intellectual approach or anything else. Rather, of course it is the Qur’an, but in the way it pleases. Musab lived in Medina as the guest of one of the prominent Ansar and one of its masters, whose hearts and minds God opened to Islam, namely (Asad bin Zurarah) then he took Musab out one day and took him to a garden where the new Muslims were gathering, and two Quraysh masters came and they were still polytheistic and were not Muslims, - Without going into many names - one of them came, brandishing his sword, because he thought that Musab bin Umair - may God be pleased with him - He came to belittle the status of the masters in the city, and the reaction of Musab bin Umair - may God be pleased with him - was very strange... Read with me: What brings you to us? Make fun of our weak? Seclude us if you have any need of yourselves, and Musab said to him: Or do you sit and listen? If you are satisfied with something, you accept it, and if you hate it, refrain from what you hate. He said: You have done justice. Then he focused his spear and sat down, and Musab spoke to him about Islam and recited to him the Qur’an, He said: By God, we would have recognized Islam in his face before he spoke, and in his radiance and rejoicing. Then he said: How good and beautiful is this? what do you do if you want to enter this religion? They said to him: You wash, purify your garment, then bear witness to the truth, then pray two rak’ahs. So he got up, bathed, purified his garment, recited the tashahhud and prayed two rak'ahs. The story has ended and we will not go into the details of the story of Musab bin Umair, may Allay put mercy on him - which is not hidden from any Muslim, but we take some pauses with it: 1 - When the man came to him, brandishing his sword, and came with a face other than the one he left the gathering with (intimidation of death), and despite this, Musab - may God be pleased with him - did not move a eyelash. 2 - Musab - may God be pleased with him - began with all calmness, telling him: “Should you not sit down and listen?” This is an article full of self-confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of the value of what he is talking about. 3 - This calm dialogue ended with one Islam who had been threatened with death a short while ago. What do I mean? I mean that Musab - may God be pleased with him - was full of self-confidence and had a high level of self-esteem, and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - did not rebuke him about that or tell him that humility was better or anything else, On the contrary, from the treatment of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - in Mecca, he understood that this man was the best ambassador for the Muslims in Medina, despite the presence of great companions such as Abu Bakr and Omar, may God pleased with them, However, he presented the formerly wealthy young man who died and could not find enough to support him due to his lack of money at that time, Now: Do you imagine that the principle of the three Selfs differs from Islam in any way?

  • Al - Qiblatain Mosque

    Qibla in Language is the destination But in terminology It is the destination that Muslims face in their prayers, and it is the Holy Kaaba The story of changing the Qiblah in brief Prayer was imposed on the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - and on the Muslims on the night of the Night Journey and Mi’raj, this was five years before the Prophet’s migration, and God Almighty then commanded that the Holy House be the qibla of Muslims, so the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - prayed facing the Holy House, and it was the desire of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - to pray facing the Kaaba, the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - came as an adherent of the religion of Abraham, peace be upon him. Therefore, the Messenger - peace be upon him - wanted his Qibla to be the Holy Kaaba, He even stood behind the Kaaba between the two pillars and faced the rock of Jerusalem and prayed, then he migrated to Medina, He stayed there for sixteen months, turning his face towards the Levant, and he prayed a lot and insisted on God Almighty, by making the Holy Kaaba the qibla for Muslims until God Almighty permitted that and answered his prayer. Qiblatain Mosque  The Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - was visiting one of the tribes and began the noon prayer, when the command came down to him to change the qiblah, he turned it while kneeling, so the mosque in which he was praying was called the Mosque of the Two Qiblahs, It is the Bani Salamah Mosque, and the news reached the Muslims in Quba’ until dawn the next day. The location of the mosque The mosque is located on the plateaus of Harrat al-Waira, called Harrat al-Gharbiyya, in the Beni Salamah region on the northwestern road, Medina in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Qiblatain Mosque is approximately 4 kilometers away from the Prophet’s Mosque. The description of the architectural of the mosque The mosque consists of two floors and contains designated places for women to pray It has a place designated for memorizing the Holy Qur’an, and the mosque was built in the authentic Islamic architectural style. The area of the mosque is 3920 square meters. - The number of domes is 2, the first with a diameter of 8 meters and the second with a diameter of 7 meters, and the length of each of them is approximately 18.8 meters. - Number of muezzins: 2. The Qiblatain Mosque is famous for its bright white colour. In the odd custom, Sunan al-Tirmidhi explained by al-Kashmiri: As for the place for turning the qiblah, it was said that the Prophet’s Mosque, but the investigation is that it is the Mosque of the Two Qiblahs, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, deviated from the Holy House to the House of God in prayer and changed its place, and so did the Companions.

  • The conceptual Skills and Islam

    What are conceptual skills? Conceptual skills are the abilities that allow an individual to better understand complex scenarios and develop creative solutions. From a management perspective, these skills offer the ability to approach complicated workplace situations in a variety of different ways. The types of conceptual skills Here are some common types of conceptual skills you can learn with an example of their uses in the workplace: 1 - Decision-making skills Decision-making skills involve the ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently. Whether you interact with coworkers or manage issues within a project, being able to make effective decisions at all levels can increase your success as a manager.To develop these skills, you can practice attention to detail, analytical skills and resourcefulness. Excellent team members and conceptual thinkers can often identify problems that may affect the organization before they become apparent to everyone, which may require them to make a decision that leads to long-term benefits for the company. Islam perspective for decision making Islam never neglects anything that benefits a Muslim in life unless it provides him with what benefits him in this matter, and among the conceptual skills is: (the skill of decision-making). For decision-making in Islam, there is something that will be mentioned shortly, which is something that a Muslim, no matter how high his social rank, should not neglect. 1 - Istikhara Sahih Al-Bukhari, on the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Sulami, said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - used to teach his companions to seek istikharah in all matters, as he teaches them a surah from the Qur’an, he says: If one of you is concerned about a matter, let him perform two rak’ahs that are not obligatory, then say: O God, I seek advice from you with your knowledge, and I ask You for Your power, and I ask of Your grace, for You have power and I cannot, and You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. Oh God, if You know this matter - then you name it specifically - it is better for me in my present and future affairs - he said: or in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affairs - so ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless it for me. Oh God, even if You know that it is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood, and my outcome - or he said: In my present and future affairs - so turn me away from it, and ordain for me what is good wherever it may be, then make me content with it. 2- Consultation with experienced people Allah says وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ {آل عمران:159) And consult them in the matter (Al Imran: 159) 3- Supplication Prayer Its the believer's weapon --------------------------------- 2 - Interpersonal skills Interpersonal skills can involve many abilities associated with interacting with other people. To define interpersonal skills, it's helpful to understand which practices can help you become an accomplished leader. Here are some common traits of professionals with advanced interpersonal skills: The ability to motivate others An effective leader can use motivation to increase employee satisfaction and productivity while setting a good example of the expectations of all team members within an organization. Professionalism in your role: Professionalism involves acting with honesty and integrity while holding yourself to the highest standards in these areas and creating examples for other members of the team to follow. An innovative approach Conceptual and interpersonal skills increase innovation and allow you to develop new and improved solutions for customers, re-design procedures or implement new systems to improve functionality and productivity. Islam perspective for interpersonal skills If you knew that two-thirds of Islam consists of dealing with others, which is called the jurisprudence of transactions, whether this other is a Muslim or a non-Muslim, whether he is a People of the Book or any other earthly religion, and only a third is for acts of worship. In a little while you will learn how the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - motivated his companions to do something in order to support this religion. 1- Motivation by practical example - When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered us to dig the trench, a rock appeared to us in some part of the trench where we could not take shovels, so we complained about this to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he came and took the pick and said: In the name of God, so he struck a blow and broke a third of it and he said: God is great, I have been given the keys to Syria, and by God I will see its red palaces at the hour. Then he struck the second, cutting off the other third, and said: God is great, I have been given the keys of Persia, By God, I see the palace of Al-Mada'in white. Then he struck the third time and said: In the name of God, then he cut off the rest of the stone and said: God is great, I have been given the keys to Yemen, and by God, I can see the gates of Sana’a from where I am at this moment. Directed by Al-Nasa'i 2 - Motivation with praise On the authority of Anas bin Malik, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The most merciful of my nation to my nation is Abu Bakr, the most ardent of them in the command of God is Omar, and the most sincere of them in modesty is Othman, The most knowledgeable of them in the Book of God was Ubayy ibn Ka’b, and the most influential among them in knowledge of the religious duties was Zayd ibn Thabit, and the most knowledgeable of them about what was permissible and what was forbidden was Muadh ibn Jabal, Indeed, every nation has a trustee, and the trustee of this nation is Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah.” Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, who said this is a good and authentic hadith. 3- Set examples using previous role models On the authority of Khabbab bin Al-Art, he said: “We complained to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, while he was leaning on his cloak in the shade of the Kaaba, so we said: will you not seek victory for us, will you not pray for us? He said: It was before you, a man would be taken and dug for him in the ground, so he puts him in it, then a saw is brought and it is placed on his head and it is cut into two halves, and he combs with iron combs what is between his flesh and bones, so what will turn him away from his religion? By God, this matter will be completed until the passenger travels from Sana’a to Hadhramaut, fearing no one but God, and the wolf is on his sheep, but you are in a hurry.” Sahih Al-Bukhari 4- The nthusiastically with the bliss of Paradise Sunan Al-Bayhaqi, on the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, told him that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - remained for ten years following the pilgrims to their homes during the seasons, In Majnah and Okaz, and their homes in Mina: “Who will shelter me and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and to Him is Paradise?” --------------------------------- 3 - Technical skills Technical skills refer to a measurable skill or trait related to the subject of your work or industry. To succeed in a leadership role, you can work to fully understand your industry and what each member of the team does to further the goals of the organization.However, it also helps to develop technical skills in other areas that apply to multiple fields. This may include the ability to market and sell the organization's products or services. Mastering most technical skills requires experience and training. Islam perspective for Technical skills 1 - Urge for land reconstruction Allah says ۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا ۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ (61) And to Thamud, their brother Salih, he said, “O my people, worship God. You have no god other than Him, He produced you from the earth and made you to reconstruction therein, So seek His forgiveness, then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Near, Answerer (61) The noble verse told us about a people in previous nations: We talked about a people who increased in architecture to the point that made their civilization known among the nations around them that they were superior in construction to others: then one of them speaks to them, who is not a king, because he is a noble prophet of God, and he speaks to them about not worshiping anyone but God alone, as if he is saying to them: Do not worship your money or your power, and do not be impressed by what you have achieved, why, because he is the one who gave you the resources in the environment and gave you the minds and physical strength, so you inhabited the earth until it became a reconstruction, so seek His forgiveness and repent to Him, From here we know that the Qur’an did not blame the previous nations for building, rebuilding, and reconstruction, but rather blamed them for worshiping other than God, and God is Most High and Most Knowing. 2- Encouraging professionalism in mastering work The hadith of Abu Ya’la Shaddad ibn Aws, may God bless him and grant him peace, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: God has prescribed the beneficence for everything, If you kill, then kill well, and if you slaughter, slaughter well, and let one of you sharpen his blade and make his sacrifice rest. --------------------------------- Now: You can imagine that Islam does not conflict with any of the principles of administration, but it has its own approach to that

  • The Honoring of the parents

    The PDF with Arabic language, please for: Allah says (وقضى ربك ألا تعبدوا إلا إياه وبالوالدين إحسانا، إما يبلغن عندك الكبر أحدهما أو كلاهما فلا تقل لهما أف ولا تنهرهما وقل لهما قولا كريما) (الإسراء:23). (And your Lord has decreed that you should not worship except Him and to be benefactor to the parents either one or both of them will reach adulthood by you, So do not say a word to them, nor rebuke them, but speak to them a nice word” (Al-Isra: 23). Allah says (ووصينا الإنسان بوالديه حملته أمه وهنا على وهن وفصاله في عامين أن اشكر لي ولوالديك إلي المصير) (لقمان:14) (And We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents. His mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and its weaning is in two years: Give thanks to Me and your parents, for me the destination.” (Luqman: 14) 1 - God - the Almighty - is God the Creator - in His heavens. The Most High commands the son to honor his parents. Why? God - the Almighty - did not recommend anything to anyone except the weak, such as (orphans, women, and here the elderly), so take God’s commandment seriously, my son. 2 - Your mother’s fatigue with you during her pregnancy must be matched by your fatigue in her old age, and the mother has a special guardianship from God - the Almighty - in this verse and from the Messenger in a hadith that will come in this file -. 3 - God Almighty linked gratitude to God with gratitude to parents, and perhaps you are a person who is not grateful to God Almighty for the bad circumstances you are going through, so it will be worse with your parents, we all know the benefits of gratitude on your mental health, you (the grateful one). The idea of thanking your parents and thanking God is the idea of complying with God’s command, then your mental health comes second. The rule of honoring parents Righteous judgment In Al-Muhalla by Ibn Hazm and Sharh Muslim by Al-Nawawi: (The scholars agreed on that honoring one’s parents is obligatory, and that disobeying them is one of the major sins, and that is unanimously agreed upon.) One of the deeds that is equivalent to jihad for the sake of God A man came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asking his permission to engage in jihad, and he said: Do your parents a live? He said: Yes, he said: In both of them, struggled. the narrator : Abdullah bin Amr | Updated: Muslim | Source: Sahih Muslim | Page or number: 2549 | Summary of the hadith’s ruling [Sahih] | Graduation: Narrated by Al-Bukhari (3004) and Muslim (2549). we take from the noble Hadith the followings: What is strange about the noble hadith is that it equates honoring one’s parents with fighting jihad for the infidels. Why? Perhaps because the parents are old and their requests are many, as are the children, in accordance with the words of God Almighty: ( ومن نعمره ننكسه في الخلق أفلا يعقلون ( 68 ) سورة يس (And whomsoever We alive him until he reached centenarian age, We turn him down in creation. Will they not have reason? (68) Surat Yasin) where God Almighty likened the people to long-lived people (according to the classification of scholars: those who reach the age of 100 years or more) they go back in their behavior like children, as he likened them to a vessel upside down on its mouth, that is, they go back to what they started with, and therefore their requests go back like children, (turned off the light for me - brought me water - etc. Perhaps both or one of them were sick and needed special care, the situation is more severe for a young man in the prime of his life, or even a married man who is responsible for a wife and children, the matter requires striving (i.e. making every effort) to meet their demands without resorting to shouting at them, or at the very least, the “F” word, which is air coming out of the mouth that expresses anger. Perhaps because the elderly are more so sensitive than the young, little makes them cry and sadden them like children, all the same, so fighting oneself is like fighting the infidels, as the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said, and God is Most High and All-Knowing. They are the key to heaven for the son When Muslim narrated it on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (humiliated his nose by force, then humiliated his nose by force, then humiliated his nose by force, It was said: Who, O Messenger of God? He said: Whoever meets his parents when he grows up, one or both of them, and then does not enter Paradise.) God Almighty places His contentment in the contentment of the parents, and His discontent in their discontent The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (The Lord’s satisfaction lies in the parent’s satisfaction, and the Lord’s displeasure lies in the parent’s displeasure) Dear son: Are you good in your dealings with God - the Almighty - and are you not afraid of His punishment in this world before the afterlife? After a little while, you will learn that the punishment for not honoring one’s parents is a precedent punishment, that is, you will be punished with it here in this life before death. If you have done wrong in your relationship with God, do not miss your relationship with your parents, perhaps you will be saved in both, with a sincere prayer from a good father or mother. The father's freedom to dispose of his son's money The hadith of Jabir bin Abdullah, may God be pleased with him: (A man said: O Messenger of God, I have money and a son, and my father wants to seize my money, so he said: You and your money belong to your father) Al-Tirmidhi said in his explanation of the hadith  This is acted upon according to some of the scholars among the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others, who said:   The father's hand is spread out over his child's money, and he takes whatever he wants, and some of them said: He does not take from his own money except when there is a need. Your longevity is linked to your blessings to your parents Ahmad narrated in Al-Musnad on the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Whoever loves to have his life extended and his livelihood is increased, let him honor his parents and maintain his ties of kinship.) Dear son: They prolong life in the West with huge sums of money: Transhumanists, but they do not guarantee happiness with long life. If you want both, then you have to take the vocabulary in the HADITH one by one, especially honoring one’s parents. When did you reward one of your parents for what they did to you when you were young? This was reported by the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he said: (A son does not repay his father unless he finds him owned, buys him, and emancipates him.) The hadith of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - is like a prophecy for this era in which we live. The numbers of slaves are increasing and they are of many types today - it is not the subject of the file - but they are no less than 10 million people across the world, most of whom are women and children, So, if one day - may God protect you and protect us - you happen to find one of your fathers owned by a human being and free him from this slavery) then you will reward him like this, and the hadith about it is an indication of the difficulty of achieving this in normal situations, so honoring your parents is easier than all of this. Do you have to honor your non-Muslim parents? Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Musab bin Saad on the authority of his father Saad bin Abi Waqqas: Verses from the Qur’an were revealed in it. He said: Umm Saad swore, That you should never speak to him until he disbelieves in his religion, and that you should not eat or drink. She said: You claimed that God commanded you to take care of your parents and I am your mother and I command you to do this. He said: She stayed for three days until she fainted from the effort, then a son of hers called Amara stood up, He gave her water, so she started praying against Saad, and God Almighty revealed this verse: (And if they strive for you to associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them, And be kind to them in this world, and follow the path of him who turns to Me. Then to Me will you return, and I will inform you of what you used to do.” (Luqman: 15) These are the names of the daughter of Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with them both. Her mother, who was an infidel, came to her and said: (My mother, who was a polytheist during the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to me and asked for a fatwa; The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, I said: She is willing. Should I wean my mother? He said: Yes, pray for your mother, The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, I said: She is willing. Should I connect with my mother? He said: Yes, connect with your mother, And the Almighty’s saying was revealed: (God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you on account of religion, They did not expel you from your homes so that you would treat them kindly and be just, God loves those who are just.” (Al-Mumtahina: 8). Being kind to the unbelieving parents continues even after their death  In the hadith, Ali may God be pleased with him, came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: Abu Talib died, so he said: Go and see him. He said: He died as a polytheist? He said: Go and show him, and when I showed him I went back to him and he said to me: Take a bath.) We take from the above the following: Dear son: Life is full of differences. Perhaps you are a believer and the son of an unbeliever - God forbid - and perhaps you are a disbeliever in God and the son has the strongest faith in God - also - may God protect you - whatever it is, blessing your non-Muslim mother or father, whether during his life or burying him upon his death, or after his death is permissible in Islam. The benefits of honoring parents 1 - He who is loyal to his parents will have his prayers answered, God willing In a novel, it says that some people applied to them, The door of a cave with a large rock, and they were unable to get out of it, so the earth became narrow for them with all its spaciousness, and they had no one left to save them except to pray for the good of their deeds, one of them called on his Lord to release them, and this person was righteous to his parents, so the rock moved away. 2- An increase in lifespan and a blessing in life On the authority of our noble Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “Nothing can avert judgment except supplication, nothing increases one's lifespan except righteousness.) 3 - An increase in sustenance when a Muslim wins the satisfaction of his Lord and the supplications of his parents for him. He is successful in his deeds, and sustenance comes to him from every side. It is one of the best deeds in the sight of God Almighty. It was narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud that he said: (I asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace: Which deeds are most beloved to God? He said: Pray at its appointed time. I said: Then what? He said: Then honor your parents. I said: Then what? He said: Then jihad for the sake of God. He said: Tell me about them, and if I had asked for more, it would have increased for me) [Sahih Muslim]. Honoring parents after their death A questioner asked: O Messenger of God, is there anything left of honoring my parents that I can honor them after their death? He said: “Yes, praying for them, asking forgiveness for them, enforcing their covenant after them, honoring their friend, and maintaining ties of kinship that cannot be connected except through them.” Imam Muslim narrated on the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Among the most righteous acts of righteousness is a man’s relationship with his father’s family after he is appointed as a guardian.) His saying, may God bless him and grant him peace, to the questioner who asked him: Is there anything left of honoring my parents that I can do to them after their death? He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Yes, praying for them and asking forgiveness for them, and enforcing their covenant after them, and maintaining the ties of kinship that cannot be connected except through them, and honoring their friends.

  • Sharing foods and drinks

    The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was brought a drink, and he drank, and on his right was a boy, And to his left were the old men, and he said to the boy: If you permit me, I will give those, He said: I would not prefer my share to anyone over you, O Messenger of God, So he twisted it in his hand. Narrator: Sahl bin Saad Al-Saadi | Updated: Al-Bukhari. From the noble HADITH we can took some points: 1 - The boy’s brilliance and intelligence. He is eloquent in his speech and is not afraid in the presence of the elders, and if this indicates anything, it indicates brilliance since childhood. 2 - The Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - practiced etiquette that is common in our days, in the era of prophecy, when he asked the boy to give the elderly people first, this is what is generally accepted. Whoever taught the Messenger of God the etiquette, was good of the characteristic of the Arabs, as the Messenger of God used to say (I have come to perfect the good morals), meaning that they had good morals and the Messenger came to perfect them? Finally: The sheikhs: We did not hear that one of them slapped the boy’s cheek, or scolded him harshly, or said to the Messenger of God why you silent about him. Rather, the matter went smoothly that we have not seen in our time, He who said (the owner of the right has a say) is right, meaning he has the right to raise his voice or otherwise, and the boy does not want to be influenced by drinking the drink directly after the mouth of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace, out of blessing and mercy. Now look at this scientific saying The etiquette rule is: Studies on chimpanzees suggest that sharing food releases oxytocin in both the giver and the receiver, which facilitates bonding. "The release amplifies emotions, and creates a feedback loop. The greetings When you greet someone, you acknowledge their presence. Most people do this automatically and barely notice they're doing it. But failing to offer a greeting to someone you know can easily cause hurt feelings and misunderstandings – you are failing to acknowledge their existence in your presence. Little can be considered more offensive than patently ignoring someone, as this strikes to the heart of the most basic of human needs, inclusion and social interaction, If someone who usually greets others in a friendly way does not one day, those other people may feel snubbed or think that person is behaving oddly. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as being preoccupied or distracted, being late for an appointment and rushing, or even forgetting their glasses and not being able to recognize someone they know. The conclusion Who taught the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace, the etiquette of sharing food and gatherings, and that the young should ask permission for the rights of the elders? It is the etiquette of the Prophet, it is the Islamic etiquette that has mercy on our young, no prohibition is committed against our elders, and the Messenger of humanity taught the humanity with this situation how to respect the children, no matter how young they are, because that is what makes them adults after a while, with their actions and high self-esteem is rarely known by the educators, life coaching and the like.
