"And this compilation, may God have mercy on him, was concluded by highlighting two significant points: an encouragement to perfect the science of Hadith, increasing in it, and exerting effort in acquiring it. He concluded it with what is commonly found in most books of Hadith: 'Indeed, actions are judged by intentions.'


God has made the beginning and the end of this work the best, by the grace of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his family and companions."

"To the esteemed gentlemen, may God unite us and them in the abode of peace, with peace.

All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Worlds, and He is my sufficiency and the best guardian. There is no power and no strength except through God, the Most High, the Magnificent.

It was a privilege for whoever compiled this book ..."

Question and answer regarding something

-
 The Question Zaid claims: Apart from having a Leader (Peshwa) and a Sheikh, counting the rosary (Tasbeeh) and reciting Salawat (Durood) or litanies (Wazifa) is equivalent to wasting one’s life. Bakr states: "I am not pledged (Bay'ah) to any person. I pray, I fast, and I accept the rulings of the Noble Shariah, the Glorious Quran, and whatever the Scholars of Religion say as the truth. However, I am not a disciple (Mureed) of any specific Peer or Faqir, though I do not consider becoming a disciple as something bad." The Conflict: According to Zaid’s statement, in this scenario, no worship of any kind performed by Bakr is accepted in the Court of the Almighty. All of Bakr’s worship is wasted because he is without a disciplehood. Greeting Bakr is deemed impermissible, he is considered expelled from the circle of Islam, and he will be resurrected with the faction of devils. In this situation, what should Bakr do? The Answer The Sheikh—meaning the Murshid (Spiritual Guide), t...

Iʿlām al-muwaqqiʿīn ʿan rabb al-ʿālamīn (311)

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Qayyim (RA) said: "A large heart can contain great knowledge just as a large valley can hold a large amount of water; and a small heart can contain knowledge only in proportion to its capacity, just as a small valley holds a small amount of water. The valleys flow according to their size, and hearts receive guidance and knowledge according to their capacity. Just as when the floodwater mixes with the earth and passes over it, it carries with it chaff and foam, so too does guidance and knowledge, when mixed with the hearts, stir up the desires and doubts therein to uproot and remove them. This is like medicine which, when drunk, stirs up the humors (akhlaṭ) of the body, causing the drinker to feel discomfort for a while."

The Definition of Fiṭrah. Is Fiṭrah Islam?

-
Fiṭrah ≠ fully-formed Islamic creed. Fiṭrah = an innate disposition toward tawḥīd, recognition of a Creator, and basic moral truths. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Every child is born upon the fiṭrah, but it is his parents who make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) Imam Ghazali (rh) said: “Fitrah inclines toward affirmation, but without proof it may also incline toward falsehood. Thus proofs are necessary to separate truth from falsehood.” The fiṭrah gives them the innate pull toward tawḥīd. The revelation tells them how to worship properly, who Allah truly is, and what false beliefs to reject. Without revelation, fiṭrah could lead someone to vague deism, sun worship, or pantheism. That’s why the Qur’an criticizes the mushrikīn for their wrong acts man, And regarding this fitrah argument this comes in my mind: If Muslims are only upon fiṭrah, then what’s the need for Qur’an, Sunnah, and Prophets? Are Hindus and Christians also valid if they claim their fiṭrah led them to the...
