Mulla Ali Qari’a commentary of the Shifa

The text in English is translated as followed: "... and it is not the place to mention all of them ('and in the narration is a long story'), meaning in the actions of the day and night for Ibn Al-Sunni, may Allah be pleased with him. Abdullah Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, lost movement and weakness overcame his limbs, as though they were the limbs of a man overcome by laziness and incapacity, deprived of movement. It was said to him, 'Shall I remind you of the name of the most beloved to you, and will this affliction be removed from you?' He (Ibn Umar) responded with 'Yes.' So he called with the loudest of his voice, 'Ya Muhammadah!' (O Muhammad!). Immediately, his limbs were restored, and it was as though nothing had afflicted him." This is in volume 2, page 43 in the Sharh of Al Shifa. The Story being mentioned here is : He said, ‘If the person who said this had realised Islam, he would have become a Muslim.’ The meaning is that yo...

Prophet ﷺ will be a witness for the Ummah

There are 5 ayats in the Qur’an that say that the Prophet ﷺ will be an witness for the Ummah on the Day of Judgement. Those 4 ayats are : Surah Baqarah 2:143 , Surah An Nisa 4:41 , Surah Ahzab 33:45-46 , Surah Al Fath 48:8 , Surah Nahl 16:84/16:89. The other ayat about being a witness ( Surah Al Maida 5:117 ) is about the Prophet Isa(Jesus) AS implying that other Prophets and Messengers will be witness for their people. Also, Surah Al Isra 17:71 states that people will be summoned with "their leader". This could be mean deeds , Prophet or scripture. As per footnote in the ayat. The tafsir of Ibn Kathir says that the meaning could also mean "Imam , Mujahid". " Qatadah said that it meant each nation would be called to account by its Prophet. " "Ibn Zayd said it means they would be called to account by their Book which was revealed to their Prophet with its laws. "  This links with this hadith: “ My life is good for you, and my death is good ...

Good Innovation and Bad Innovation from the views of Traditional and the Greatest Scholars of Islam and Evidence from the Text:

As the scholars Ibn Hajar and An Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on them) explained in their works ( Fath Al Bari and Sharh Sahih Muslim ): " That these two ahadith are about any act that is not in the Sunnah or from it ." And the hadith that every innovation is misguidance is also about the acts that are not from the Sunnah, an act that is not proven by the acts of the Companions or anywhere else from the text. And the Hadith about the Good Sunnah:  " Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam will have its reward and the reward of whoever acts upon it until the Day of Resurrection. " And this means here the good deeds and we know that all the good deeds in Islam are from the Sunnah and if there is any other good deed then it is from the way of the Companions and the people of the Salaf. And innovation is what is not in the Sunnah or any act that cannot be proved from the Sunnah or from the views of the Companions or the Salaf, then they declared it as an innovation...

Ayats that are about Polytheists but are used against the wrong people

There are ayats in the Qur’an that are aimed at Meccan polytheists and/or disbelievers but in this day and age, some ignorants use them against believers of the religion. Surah Baqarah 2:170 When it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they reply, “No! We ˹only˺ follow what we found our forefathers practicing.” ˹Would they still do so,˺ even if their forefathers had ˹absolutely˺ no understanding or guidance? This ayat is aimed at the polytheists and disbelievers. It criticises them for rejecting the truth because they want to follow their ancestors in disbelief and idol worship. This ayat was revealed after a group of Jews refused to follow the truth instead wanting to remain in disbelief. Surah Al-An'am 6:116 "'O Prophet!˺ If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie. This ayat is aimed the majority of the people on earth which happened to be disbelievers at ...

Salawat تنجينا:

"Imam Al Saffouri (rh) writes in his book "كتاب نزهة المجالس ومنتخب النفائس" (2/86) "I saw the Prophet (SAW) in a dream one night and he told me to tell others to recite this :  اللهم صل على محمد صلاة تنجينا بها من جميع الأهوال والآفات وتقضي لنا بها جميع الحاجات وتطهرنا بها من جميع السيئات وترفعنا بها عندك أعلى الدرجات وتبلغنا بها أقصى الغايات من جميع الخيرات في الحياة وبعد الممات عناق على كولي شاين قدير Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad salatan tunajjina biha min jami’ al-ahwal wal-afat wa taqdi lana biha jami’ al-hajat wa tutahhiruna biha min jami’ as-sayyi’at wa tarfa’una biha ‘indaka a’la ad-darajat wa tuballighuna biha aqsa al-ghayat min jami’ al-khayrat fil-hayati wa ba’da al-mamat, innaka ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir.

Imam Al Razi in his Tafsir Al Kabir about the Hand of Allah (SWT)

(He is rejecting those who called that the Hand of Allah is a physical organ like humans) The evidence for this is that a body is inseparable from movement and stillness, which are new, and anything that is inseparable from the new is new, and because every body is infinite in size, and whatever is infinite in size is new, and whatever is infinite in size is new, and whatever is infinite in size is new And because every body is composed of parts, and everything that is so is susceptible to composition and dissolution, and everything that is so requires something to compose and synthesise it, and everything that is so is a novelty, thus proving in these ways that it is impossible for Him to be a body, so it is impossible for His hand to be a bodily member. As for the majority of monotheists, they have two opinions regarding the word hand: First: The statement of those who say: When the Qur'an proves that God's hand is a hand, we believe in it, and when reason proves that it is ...

The Reality of the Belief about the World being created for Rasool Allah (SAW) 💚

Muhammad Ibn Sinan said, "Hushaim said, "Sayyar - Abu al-Hakam - said, "Yazid al-Fakir said, "Jabir bin Abdullah said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "I was given five things that were not given to any of the prophets before me. I was given victory by terror (terror in heart of his enemies) for a month's march, and "the earth was made for me" a mosque and a sanctuary, and any man of my nation who is caught in prayer should pray (he can perform tayyamum anywhere from the earth), and I was given the right to the spoils of war, and a prophet used to be sent to his own people in particular, but I was sent to all men in general, and I was given intercession." [Sahih Al Bukhari 438] Its also narrated by Muslim and in other big Hadith collections. This hadith mentions the word that this world was created for me and as a mosque and other narrations such as the one in Musnad Ahmad which Ibn Kathir used in his tafsir only has th...

A thing you won't be asked about in grave - story!

Here's a mini story that you should ponder over. Muwaffaq al-Din Abu Muhammad ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi said: Al-Suhrawardi said: I had decided to read something of the science of theology, and I was hesitant whether to read Al-Irshad by Imam al-Haramayn, or Nihayat al-Iqdam by al-Shahrastani, or the book of his Sheikh. So I went with my uncle Abu al-Najib, and he was praying next to Sheikh Abdul Qadir. He said: Sheikh Abdul Qadir turned to me and said: O Omar, this is not from the provisions of the grave, this is not from the provisions of the grave. So I went back from that, and he was informed that the Sheikh had revealed to him what was in his heart. And he forbade him from the speech that Al-Qushayri and the like were attributed to him.    (The Book of Straightforwardness by Ibn Tayimiyyah pg 87 )

[Biographies of the chain of narrators of the hadith (Our Lord, God whose name is in heaven, sanctified is your name)] (3982 of Abi Dawud)

His saying: [Yazid bin Khalid bin Muhib Al-Ramli told us]. Yazid bin Khalid bin Mawhib Al-Ramli is trustworthy. His hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah. [Al-Layth told us]. Al-Layth bin Saad Al-Masry is trustworthy. The authors of the six books cited him. [On the authority of Ziadah bin Muhammad]. Ziyadah bin Muhammad, who may refer to Ziyad. Because the name Ziyad is the well-known avenue, unlike Ziadah, this name is unfamiliar, and the transliteration is from an unfamiliar thing to a familiar thing, such as Nabit and Thabet, so Thabit is the avenue, and Nabat is the opposite of the avenue, and Ahmad is the avenue, and I am jammed with the jim unlike the avenue, and Aba Anas is on the contrary. Other than Al-Jada, and Abu Iyas is on Al-Jada. Here, Ziadah’s name is unfamiliar and not well-known, and the famous one is Ziad. وزيادة هذا منكر الحديث، أخرج له أبو داود والنسائي. [On the authority of Muhammad bin Ka’b Al-Qurazi]. Muhammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurazi is trustw...

The Miracle of the Holy Prophet ﷺ

Omar ibn Dharr reported that Abu Huraira used to say, " By Allah, there is no god but Him, I would lean my liver on the ground out of hunger, and I would put a stone on my stomach out of hunger, and I was sitting one day on the road from which they go out, when Abu Bakr passed by and I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah. , and I asked him only to satisfy me, and he passed by and did not do so; then 'Umar passed by and I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah, and I asked him only to satisfy me, and he passed by and did not do so; then Abu Qasim (meeans the Prophet ﷺ), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by and smiled when he saw me and knew what was in my soul and in my face, and said, "Abu Hurr."I said, "Go on." He said, "Follow me." He went on, and I followed him. He went inside and asked for permission, and I was given permission. He went in and found milk in a cup. He said, "Where did this milk come from?...
