  Characteristics of the Desired Muslim Generation in the Qur’an and
Posted by: Muslimah - 03-23-2004, 12:23 PM - Forum: Usama - Replies (2)


By Dr. Yusuf Al Qaradawi

Translated by Amin E. Shehata Revised by Ibrahim M Kunna and Abu Aya

Sulaiman ‘Abdus-Sabur

Copyright and published by the International Islâmic Publishing House

(IIPH), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1999.

The characteristics the desired generation are obvious to those who

peruse the Holy Qur’ân and Sunnah. One can find these people in so many

verses of the Holy Qur’ân :

(And of those whom We created a nation who guide with the Truth and

establish Justice therewith.) (Qur’ân 7: 181)

The Truth (Shari‘ah) is their aim, clear way, and source. To it they

invite, with its light they lead, and with its judgment they do justice.

In Surat Al-Maidah, Allâh (I) gave good news to the believers about

this generation, warned therewith the apostates and saved them to fight

apostasy and brace faith at the end of this life:

(O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back from his

religion [islâm], Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will

love Him, humble towards believers, stern towards the disbelievers;

fighting in the way of Allâh , and never fear of the blame of the blamers.

That is Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh

is All-Sufficient, All–Knower.) (Qur’ân 5: 54)

These are the characteristics of this generation. They are with Allâh

(I) through love, with believers through mercy, i.e. humbleness; with

disbelievers through sternness, namely, superiority, with truth through

sincere Jihâd for Allâh ’s Cause, with all people through advice, that

fears no critic whatsoever, for Allâh ’s Sake. In Surat At-Taubah, we

also find some distinct features of their personality, way of acting

and morals-compared to those of the hypocrites. Hypocrites are all alike

in their devotion to falsehood:

(They resemble one another, they command wickedness, forbid decency,

and clench their fists [from giving alms, etc. for Allâh ’s Cause].)

(Qur’ân 9: 67)

Then the Aspired Generation is, as described in the Holy Qur’ân:

(The believers, men and women, are Awliya [helpers, supporters,

friends, protectors] of one another; they enjoin [on the people] Al-Ma‘ruf

[i.e all that Islâm orders one to do], and forbid [people] from Al-Munkar

[i.e. All that Islâm has forbidden]; they perform As-salah

[iqamat-as-salah], and give the Zakah, and obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh

will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.)

(Qur’ân 9: 71)

  Mentioning husband's or wife's name in front of people
Posted by: Muslimah - 03-22-2004, 12:08 PM - Forum: Islam - No Replies


Question:

In many cultures a person is refered to as father of so and

so or mother of so and so. Also generally women do not

call their husband by name but refer to them as father of

their eldest child's name. Is there evidence in the quran

and sunnah for such a thing and if not, how do this practice

start?

Is it islamically wrong for a woman to call her husband by

his name or for a man to call his wife by her name when

mentioning him/her?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

Yes, it was proven that some of the Sahaabiyaat (female

Sahaabah) mentioned their husband by their kunyahs ("father

of So and so"). Examples of that include the following.

It was narrated that 'Awn Abu Juhayfah said: The Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) established

the bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu'l-Dardaa'.

Salmaan went to visit Abu'l-Dardaa' and he saw Umm

al-Dardaa' looking unkempt. He said to her, "What is the

matter with you?" She said, "Your brother Abu'l-Dardaa'

has no interest in this world." Then Abu'l-Dardaa' came

(to visit Salmaan) and he made food for him, but he said,

"I am fasting." He said, "I will not eat until you eat." So he ate.

When night came, Abu'l-Dardaa' went to stand in prayer.

[salmaan] said to him, "Go to sleep." He slept a while, then

he went to stand in prayer. [salmaan] said to him, "Go to

sleep." When the end of the night came, Salmaan said to

him, "Now get up." They prayed, then Salmaan said "Your

Lord has rights over you, your own self has rights over you

and your family has rights over you. Give each one who has

rights over you his rights." [Abu'l-Dardaa'] came to the

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

and told him about that, and the Prophet (peace and

blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Salmaan spoke

the truth."

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1832)

It was narrated that Faatimah bint Qays said: My husband

Abu 'Amr ibn Hafs ibn al-Mugheerah 'Ayyaash ibn Rabee'ah

sent word to me, divorcing me, and he sent with it five wasa'

of dates and five wasa' of barley. I said, "Do I have no

maintenance apart from this, and should I not spend my

'iddah in your house?" He said, "No." I got dressed and went

to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah

be upon him) . He said, "How many times has he divorced

you (talaaq)?" I said, "Three." He said, "He was right when

he said that he does not have to spend on your maintenance."

(Narrated by Muslim, 2721)

Secondly:

With regard to a woman mentioning her husband by name,

there is nothing wrong with that. For example:

It was narrated that Zaynab, the wife of 'Abd-Allaah (i.e., ibn

Mas'ood) said: I was in the mosque and I saw the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said, "Give

in charity, even if it is from your jewellery." Zaynab used to

spend on 'Abd-Allaah and on the orphans under her care.

She said to 'Abd-Allaah, "Ask the Messenger of Allaah

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whether it is

enough charity for me to spend on you and on the orphans

under my care." He said, "You go and ask the Messenger

of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)."

So she went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah

be upon him) and found a woman from among the Ansaar

at the door, with a similar question. [Zaynab said:] Bilaal

passed by us and we said, "Ask the Prophet (peace and

blessings of Allaah be upon him) whether it is charity enough

for me to spend on my husband and the orphans under my

care. But do not tell him who we are." He went in and asked

him. (The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon

him)) asked, "Who is it?" He said, "Zaynab". He asked,

"Which Zaynab?" He said, "The wife of 'Abd-Allaah." (The

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him))

said, "Yes, she will have two rewards, the reward of

upholding the ties of kinship and the reward of charity."

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1373; Muslim, 1667)

It was narrated that Khuwaylah bint Maalik ibn Tha'labah

said: "My husband Aws ibn al-Saamit divorced me by

zihaar [saying "you are to me as my mother's back"], so

I came and complained to the Messenger of Allaah

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The

Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah

be upon him) argued with me on his behalf and said,

"Fear Allaah, for he is your cousin (son of your paternal

uncle)." I did not leave before Allaah revealed the words

(interpretation of the meaning):

'Indeed Allaah has heard the statement of her (Khawlah

bint Tha'labah) that disputes with you (O Muhammad)

concerning her husband (Aus bin As-Saamit),'

[al-Mujaadilah 58:1]

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1893; classed as saheeh

by Ibn Hibbaan and al-Haakim. See Khalaasat al-Badr

al-Muneer, 2/229)

Thirdly:

With regard to saying one's husband's or wife's name

in front of other people, that depends on local custom

('urf) of the people in any given society. In some societies,

doing that is disliked, and in some societies it may even

be seen as a lack of gheerah (protective jealousy). In the

hadeeth of Ibn Mas'ood mentioned above, Bilaal (may

Allaah be pleased with him) mentioned the wife of Ibn

Mas'ood by name (Zaynab). If a woman is well known by

her name and it is OK for people other than her husband

to mention her by name, then how about her husband?

It is preferable to mention people by their kunyah rather

than their names in some societies, or in front of some

people. Many problems arise from taking the matter of

mentioning people's names lightly.

And Allaah is the Source of strength.

  Non believers - Islam - Paradise
Posted by: Amatullah - 03-19-2004, 06:27 PM - Forum: Islam - Replies (10)


One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Who are said to be the believers ? Are Christains/jews/Hindus can be believers even though they are not part of Islam ? How are Hindus different from Christains and Jews ? if a person does not follow Islam but he does good deeds and he is a good soul can he be in heaven ?

<b>Answer: </b>

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

......

The Prophet (saws) said in one of his traditions: A baby, when he is born, is born on "fitrah"(on his natural religion), but his parents make him into a Jew, or a Christian.

Now lets see if we can use logic and intelligence to drive the point home. There are many things which are natural (fitrah) of human beings. When they are born, there is absolutely no need of coaching or teaching the newborn baby to suck from his/her mother`s breasts. This is absolutely natural. However much science might have advanced, and however much technology may have come up with teaching methods and aids, tell me, how are you going to teach a new born baby to suck life-giving milk from his/her mother`s breasts. Just imagine, for a moment, if the baby, for any reason is not able to do this natural thing, he will probably die of starvation!!!

Similarly, also, is the feeling of right and wrong in our hearts, which we have learnt to call "conscience". We know deep down in our conscience whether something is right or wrong. Stealing, cheating, backbiting, slander, adultery, murder, etc. are all considered wrong in any religion and nation. Charity, good manners, obedience to parents, building of hospitals, taking care of orphans, etc. are all good deeds in any religion and nation. One might argue, that these values are taught or acquired, but the fact of the matter is that whatever one does, he knows deep down in his conscience whether it is right or wrong.

So is also the concept of One God. This is a natural phenomena. It does not matter, if the person is a staunch atheist. At the worst point in his life, there comes a time, when he calls out to some supernatural being or force to help him, although he may claim to be an atheist. This phenomena is in-built into the human being by the All-Mighty God. And if you ask most religious beliefs, Who created the heavens and the earth?, Who grows the vegetation?, Who created the sun and the moons and the planets and the galaxy?, Who created human beings and animals?, etc. the answer will always be in one way or another ... the One God.... Creator of the Universe and everything in it.

We can call all these things by any name we want, but the fact is some things are "natural" or "fitrah" of mankind, as termed in the Quran.

So if a baby born in a Hindu family or a Jew family or a Jain family, there will come a time when he attains maturity, when he will try to look for a deeper meaning to this life ... start asking questions about why are we here on this earth? Is it all an accident? Are we here to live for 80-100 years and then die and be burnt or be buried? And thats it!! Or is there anything else after this worldly life? Is there a Creator who created this fantastic world and everything in it? Then comes in the natural thought of a "super-natural" being or "God". These answers, the human being cannot get from experience, and thus he is prone towards a belief or religion.

According to Islam, Allah, not only created man for a purpose, but sent Prophets to guide them and sent books and laws to guide mankind unto salvation. Please also keep in mind here that there are only three divine religions in the world today, in the true sense of the word: Jewism, Christianity and Islam. All the others are either movements or mythology. If the man cannot find answers that apply to his reason and intellect in his born religion, then he begins searching for the Truth, and invariably he will find it.

But the problem with the world today is that we have become too shallow in our thoughts and engrossed in luxuries and collecting wealth. We just dont give due importance to the deeper meanings of life. We use all our intelligence and hard work to live this life, but give little thought to the life hereafter. Maybe we are confused about so many ideologies, all claiming salvation, and give up using logic and reason, and just settle for the religion of our forefathers. For everything else in the world, we do not do anything without reason!! When we wear clothes, we check out the fashion, the material, the price, and then buy them. When we look for a house, we check out the location, the re-sale value, the price and then make our decision. When we buy a car, we check out the company, the car itself, the value, then we make a decision.


A child born into parents who were uneducated, never says or reasons that since his parents are uneducated, he will remain uneducated. He wants to attain the best education possible within his means and outdo his parents in this world.

Similarly if a father had one store he owned and ran all his life, a child never claims that I will not open a chain of stores, because my father had just one store!!

Also the son of a street-cleaner never claims that he will grow up to be a street-cleaner, simply because his father was a street-cleaner!!

Then whey does a child born into any religion, just take up the religion of his parent`s choice?

The reason is that when it comes to following religion, most of us just keep our reasoning at home, and blindly follow the religion we are born into. Even though we may not get all the answers to our deeper questions, we just let them be in a corner of our brain, and not "rock the boat", so to speak! We just live this life like animals: eat, sleep, re-produce, and die!!! But our Creator has given us the faculty to think and reason ... but man seldom uses it to search the Truth!!! If he truly does search for the Truth, he will find peace and happiness in Islam, as millions of converts and true Muslims, are living in today.

I have tried to answer your question using logic, and now lets go to the Holy Quran and see if it answers the question.

Islam is a natural religion, and everything is based on logic. There is nothing illogical about Islam and everything in Islam is based on wisdom and common sense. The One God who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between, created man for a reason. He made no mistake in the creation of the heavens and the earth!! He made no mistake in the creation of the sun, its temperature and its distance. Do you know that if the sun was closer to earth by a small distance, we would all die of heat, and if the sun was at a little more distance than it is, we would die of cold!!! He made no mistake in the creation of the moon ... science tells us that the movement of the moon controls the tides of the seas... if the moon moves a couple of degrees away from its course, we would all be submerged in water!!! He made no mistake in the creation of man ... his eyes are perfectly placed! his nose is perfectly placed just above his mouth! His ears and mouth and hands and legs are perfectly placed!! His internal systems are perfectly placed and function to perfection for the appointed time!!! Look at everything else in creation... how perfect it is.... Then how can we imagine, that this Creator who created everything to perfection can make a mistake in guiding mankind unto him!!! In His perfect knowledge

and wisdom, He made mankind and sent him to this earth. To guide him He sent His Messengers and His books.... did He make a mistake here? I think not!!!!

One more thing to note here is a human is not as free as we would like to think. He has to breathe to survive..(no choice here!)…he has to eat at some intervals (no choice here!)… he has to eat either vegetation or animals (can’t eat rocks, stones, etc. no choice here!)…..he has relieve himself at some interval (no choice here!) …. He has to rest at some intervals (no choice here)….his eyes, his nose, his ears, his mouth, his hands, his legs, his organs are places in their places (no choice here!), he has to drink water at intervals to quench his thirst (no choice here!), etc. He has absolutely no choice in most matters. The only choice that the All-Wise God gave us was to choose the Path that leads to His Mercy, and this choice is only for a limited period of maximum 50-80-100 years!! Think about it, that is actually the only choice we have … and that too He has commanded and directed us to submit our only will to Him and live our lives according to His Will. And that is the only thing we are being tested upon. Who lives his life in obedience to His Wills and Commands, and who lives his life according to his own whims and fancies, and thus a life of disobedience to God’s commands.

The one who lives his life in obedience to God, will be rewarded in the hereafter. And the one who lives his life independently of God, will fail the test and thus incurred God’s Wrath and Anger upon himself.

One thing also we must understand of the All-Mighty and All-Wise is that He is also All-Just. All beings are His slaves ... they are all equal... He favors no one over another, except the one who is more pious!! Do you think he will be unjust to His slaves? Do you think He will have mercy on somebody simply because he is related to his Prophets? Do you think He will have mercy on somebody simply because he wailed and beat himself in love of a martyr? No... Never.... He is The All Just. He will judge everybody according to the syllabus he has sent down. Whoever follows the syllabus and recognizes it as such, and is God Fearing, that is the one, His mercy is promised upon.


Thus our job as muslims today is to invite mankind to Islam and the Last Book of Allah.. the Al Quran. First and foremost, we must live by it and then invite mankind to it. If they believe in it and do according to the syllabus, fine... they become our brothers in Islam. If not, they are allowed to follow any religion they want to attain salvation, as long as they are convinced that they will stand in the court of the Almighty one day and give account for their beliefs and deeds on this earth.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Al Maidah verse 3: Today I (Allah) have perfected your religion for you and completed My blessing on you, and have approved Islam as the way of life for you.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 85: And whoever adopts any deen other than Islam, that way shall not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he shall be among the losers!

Thus only those who believe and worship Allah alone, associating no partners with Him, follow His Last Messenger, Mohamed (saws), follow the teachings of His Last Book, Al Quran, does righteous deeds, and is God Fearing, Allah has promised him His Mercy and Paradise.

Allah says in Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 131-137: And guard yourselves against that Fire which has been prepared for the disbeliveers, and obey Allah and His Messenger: it is expected that you will be shown mercy. Hasten to follow the path that leads to forgiveness from your Lord, and to the Garden, which is as vast as the heavens and the earth, and has been prepared for the God-Fearing people. They are those who spend their wealth freely in the way of Allah, alike in prosperity and in adversity; who control their rage and forgive other people. Allah likes such good people very much, who, if ever they commit a base deed, or wrong their own souls by the commission of a sin, remember Allah instantly and ask for forgiveness from Him for their shortcomings, for who, but Allah, can forgive sins? (The God Fearing people are) those, who do not knowingly persist in the wrongs they did. These will be rewarded with forgiveness from Allah and with Gardens in Paradise beneath which canals flow, and they will reside therein for ever: and how excellent is the reward of those who do good deeds!

Thus the main difference between a true muslim and a non-believer is not of birth or nationality, but rather of knowledge. Allah has blessed us to be Muslims, but unfortunately, we have never appreciated this great blessing and mercy of Allah. We have just never bothered to open and read and understand the message our Lord and Creator has sent for our guidance. May Allah make us of those who appreciate His Bounty and Blessing upon us. May Allah make us of those who read and understand His Message – The Holy Quran, so that we can be rightly guided. Ameen.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
