2. “This is the Book, No doubt in it, there is guidance to those who fear Allaah” For َ‫ ﻣُﺖﱠ ﻗِﯿﻦ‬Ibn
Maa’ja has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “The best benefit one could get is, “fear of
Allaah Ta’ala”. After that he said “A pious wife is one who pleases her husband, when he looks at
her, when ordered obey him, fulfill his owes and in his absence safeguard his wealth and herself
from adultery”.

3. “Those who believe in the unseen, and establish prayers, and spend out of which we have
provided”. ‫ﯾُﻨﻔﻘُﻮن‬
Quoting Abu Huraira. Muslim has recorded the saying Rasoolullaah (SAS) that the reward of a
Dinar spent on his family is much greater than of the Dinar spent on the way of Allaah Ta’ala, on
redeeming a debtor from his debt, or spent in charity to a poor.
Quoting Ibn Umar, both Al-Bukhari and Muslim have recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah
(SAS) that Islaam is based on five principles.
1.To testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah, and that Muhammad (SAS) is
Allaah’s Messenger.
2. To perform compulsory prayers.
3.To pay Zakaat.
4.To perform Hajj. (Pilgrimage to Mecca).
5.To observe Fast during the month of Ramazaan.

4. “ And who believe in the Revelation sent on you, and sent before you and have the assurance
of the Hereafter”.
Quoting Abu Zirr, Al- Qurtubi has recorded that Abu Zirr has asked Rasoolullaah (SAS)
about the number of Books/ Leaflets, which are revealed by Allaah Ta’ala on His Messengers.
Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied “One hundred leaflets and four books, fifty on Shees (AS), thirty on
Aq’nooq (AS), ten on Ibraaheem (AS) and ten on Moosa (AS) before the revelation of AT-Taowrat,
Al-Injeel on Easa (AS), Zaboor on Dawood (AS) and AL-Furqaan (Al-Qur’an) on Rasoolullaah
(SAS)”.

6. “Surely those who reject Faith, it is same to them, whether you warn them or do not warn
them, they will not believe”.
For the word " َ‫ " ﻛَﻔَﺮ‬Rasoolullaah (SAS) has explained that during Me’raj, he saw a majority of
those in the Hell were women. He was asked about the reason for that. Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied
that it was because of their “Rejection”. Again he was asked as to whether they rejected the Faith on
Allaah. Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied it was because of their rejection to performance of good deeds,
and explained that if you treat any one of them with kindness through out, even then, she will see
something in you and say that she had not seen anything good in you, (will not be satisfied).

7. “Allaah has sealed on their hearts, and on their hearing, and on their eyes, is a veil, and for
them there is great punishment”.
Quoting Abu Moosa (AS) Al-Ash’ari, the nature of heart as explained by Rasoolullaah (SAS) is
recorded; he explained that the heart is like a feather, which can be turned upside down/any way by
the wind. Because of this nature Rasoolullaah (SAS) addressed Allaah Ta’ala as, “O’ Fastener of our
hearts, fasten our hearts for your obedience”.
Quoting Al-Huzaifa it is reported that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has explained that sedition is like
peaces of broken mat, falling on the heart, and if the heart does not accept its effects, a white spot is
formed. In the process it develops and the heart is enlightened. On the contrary, if the heart accepts
its effects a black spot is formed. In the process it develops and the heart is covered with darkness,
which does not like the virtues and is eager to do sins. Similar explanation has also been recorded in
the Hadees narrated by Ibn Jareer.

14. “When they meet those who believed, they said, “We believed”, and when they meet
separately with their evil-ones, they said, “We are with you”. Indeed we are the mockers, (to those
who believed)”.
In spite of having the knowledge of those who were hypocrites, Rasoolullaah (SAS) had not
taken action against them, as has been recorded in the Hadees of Umar (Rz), where in Rasoolullaah
(SAS) has explained the reason that if action was taken against those hypocrites, they would spread
the rumor that Rasoolullaah (SAS) had resorted to kill his companions, thereby it would have
effected on the spread of Islaam, in the early stages.
It is also recorded that Abu Zirr (Rz) had asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) as to how Shaitaan could be
in human beings? Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “They are the hypocrites, when they meet the
Muslims, they say, they are with them, and when they meet the non-Muslims, they say they are with
them, and that they were mocking with the Muslims”.

thunder-bolt, saying “O’ Allaah do not kill us due to Your anger and do not destroy us due to Your
chastisement and take care of us before that”.

Explaining the light Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has mentioned about the
quantity of the light, which will be given to the believers according to their deeds. Some will get the
light from Madina to Aden, gradually decreasing according to the decrease in the deeds, that some
will get so little that the place of their foot will be lighted.

Quoting Abu Huraira, Al-Bukhari has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has said that the Hell
and Heaven challenged each other. The Hell claimed that the tyrannical and the proud arrogant
would enter in it. The Heaven claimed that the debiliterate and the poor miserable will enter in it,
then Allaah Ta’ala said pointing to Hell, “You are my punishment, I will punish with you whom I
may desire”, and pointing to the Heaven He said “you are My Mercy, I will pardon with you whom I
may desire, and for each of you, there is fulfillment”.
Explaining the depth of the Hell, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that the companions of Rasoolullaah
(SAS) heard a thunderous voice, and asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) about it. Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied
that a stone was thrown into the Hell seventy years back and it reached on that day.

Rasoolullaah (SAS) said” Your prayer will not be complete unless you observe ablution as ordered
by Allaah Ta’ala to him. The face has to be washed, and hands up to elbows, sweep away the head
and feet up to ankle, then begin the prayer with "‫ "اﻟﻠﱠﮫُ اﻛﺒﺮ‬and praise Him, then recite

you”.

heads like that of a donkey or their voice to be as of a donkey”.

"‫("ﻣﻌﺮاج‬Rasoolullaah (SAS)’s midnight journey to the Seven Heavens) “I saw some people’s lips and
tongues were being cut with scissors of fire, I asked as to “who are they”? I was told, “they are the
preachers, and sermonizers and scholars of your people, who used to preach others but did not
practiced themselves, in spite of having the knowledge”.
Quoting Usama, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that he heard Rasoolullaah (SAS) saying, “A person
will be brought on the Doomsday and thrown into the Hell his intestines will come out and he will
be circling it other sufferers of the Hell will ask him the reason for being in Hell, as he was
preaching good deeds and obstructing others to do ill-deeds, he will express his sorrow for he was
preaching others but not practicing himself”.
Quoting Ibn Asakar, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “While seeing
the persons in the Hell, persons of Heaven will ask them the reason for that as they has followed
 11

their preaching’s and entered the Heaven. Their reply will be that they preached others but did not
followed them selves.

47. O’ The Children of Israel remember the favour which I have bestowed upon you and I have
preferred you upon the realms, (compared to others in the worlds).
Quoting the books of traditions of Rasoolullaah (SAS) Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of
Rasoolullaah (SAS) to his followers, “You are the seventieth sect, excellent and revered upon all”.

48. And guard yourselves against a day when no one shall avail anything from other, and no
intercession will be accepted for him/her and there will be no help to them.
Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) was asked the meaning of "‫"ﻋﺪل‬. He replied,
“Ransom”.
"‫"ﺗَﺠﺰِي‬Quoting Abu Huraira, AL-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “On
the Doomsday, one who owed or done cruelty to his brother, (any Person) will not have currency to
compensate, but if he has good deeds, those deeds will be transferred to his victim, according to his
cruelty. In case if he had no good deeds to his credit, the evils of the victims will be transferred on
him”.
Quoting the source from Umar (Rz), Al- Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS),
“If water is poured on water on the earth it will compensate”. i.e., if water is poured on the urine on
earth, then there is no need to wash that place to clean it.

49. And (remember) when we rescued you from Fir’aown’s people, who were afflicting you with
 12

dreadful torment, slaying your sons and sparing to live your woman, in that it was a tremendous
trial from your Nourisher, (who is supreme).
In the incidence of rescue of children of Israel, Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Nisa’e, Ibn Ma’aja and
others have recorded that when Rasoolullaah (SAS) migrated to AL-Madina, he saw that the Jews
were observing fast on the tenth day of the month Muharram. He asked the reason for that. He was
replied that on the day, they were rescued from the clutches of Fir’aown, and their enemy was
drowned. Thus a sacred day, and Moosa (AS) observed fast on that day, paying gratitude to Allaah.
Rasoolullaah (SAS) said, “I am more entitled than you in this righteousness of Moosa” (AS). He
observed fast and also ordered his followers to observe fast on that day.
Quoting Ibn Abbaas, AL-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “If I am alive
next year I shall fast on the ninth day, (of Muharram).
Quoting Ibn Qaraada, Muslim and At-Tirmizi, Al-Qurtubi have recorded the saying of
Rasoolullaah (SAS), “Fasting on the Aashoora day (tenth day) satisfy Allaah Ta’ala, so as to reject
the misdeeds of his previous year”.

59. But the transgressors changed the word, which had been told to them to another one, so we
sent punishment on them from the sky because they were doing debauchery.

Israel were asked to enter the gate saying "Hittatun",so that their misdeeds would be pardoned. But
they entered the gate changing the word and said, "Habbatun fee shi'rihe", seed in his hair), Al-
Bukhari has also recorded the same.
Muslim has recorded the explanation of Rasoolullaah (SAS) for the word "Al'Ihsaan",
(performance of good deeds) in his reply to Jibrael who asked its meaning, “Praying Allaah as if
seeing Him, if you cannot be seeing Him, surely He is seeing you,” Jibrael said,” You are correct”.

60. And when Moosa (AS) asked water for his people, then We said, “Hit the rock with your
staff”, then gushed out twelve springs from it, thus all the people knew their drinking place.
“Eat and drink from Allaah’s means of livelihood, and do not be arrogant, corruptive on the
earth”.
Quoting Abdullah, Al-Qurtubi has recorded a miracle of Rasoolullaah (SAS) in the battle, and
there was no water, the matter was reported to Rasoolullaah (SAS), he called for a bowl, of water
and kept his hand in it. Abdullah said that he saw water gushing from his fingers. All satisfied, even
cleaned themselves.
An-Nisa’e has also recorded this event and added that Salam bin Al-Ja'id asked Jabir, about the
number of persons on that day. His reply was “one thousand five hundred”.
Al-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) in respect of the water “ZamZam”,
that “it is relishing food and from ailments”.
In another saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) Al-Qurtubi has recorded, “In case the Imam ask for
food (maintenance), provide him, “(the imam has to be paid in case he desire).

61. And when you said, “O’ Moosa (AS), we cannot be on one kind of food (always),
so call your Nourisher to produce for us that which the earth grows, its herbs and its cucumber
and its garlics and its lentils and onions”, He said, “Do you like to exchange the better one for the
worse? Go down to a settlement [Egypt], surely you shall have that which you asked, and they were
charged with humiliation and misery. They drew themselves the anger of Allaah, it was because they
were rejecting the signs of Allaah and were slaying the Prophets wrongfully, that was because they
disobeyed and were doing transgression.
Quoting Abu Sayeed Al-Qudri, Al-Qurtubi has recorded that they (Israilies) used to eat garlic
during the days of Khaiber, , observing it Rasoolullaah (SAS) said, “O’ people, it is not for me to
forbid that which Allaah has permitted, but I do not like its smell”.
Quoting Omer Al-Khattab (Rz), Al-Muslim has recorded his speech, “It is for you O’ people, I
could not find any thing but maliciousness in two plants i.e. onion and garlic. I have seen when
Rasoolullaah (SAS) smelt the smell of those two from a person entered in the mosque the ordered
him to be sent out to Al'Baqee,. So it is for one who desire to eat them should cook them and eat”.
Al-Qurtubi has recorded the saying that Rasoolullaah (SAS) and his family never ate bread made
of wheat continuously for three days, from the day he came to Al-Madina till his death.
Al-Qurtubi has also recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) used to like sweet honey and sweet cold
water.

Quoting Abu Dawood and Tayalisi, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS),
“On the Day of Judgment severest punishment will be given to whom the prophet had killed, who
killed a prophet, the leader of misdeeds and the painter of portraits”.

[71].
71.He said, (Moosa AS), “He (Allaah) says, it should be a cow, unmanageable to till the land, nor
waters for cultivation, complete without any blame to it”. They said, “Now you came with the truth”.
So they sacrificed it, though, they were not to do so.
Quoting Ibn Jareer, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “Had they
sacrificed any cow, after the receipt of the orders of Allaah, it would have sufficed, but they tried to
dodge it, so the order was hardened successively”.
In this connection that one should not resort to unnecessary detailed explanations, Al-Qurtubi has
recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) as recorded by Muslim, that he has warned a woman not
to explain in detail the features of another woman to her husband in such a way as if he is looking at
her.

dead to life, and you are shown His signs, so that you may understand”.
Quoting Abu Razeen'aqeeli, Abu Dawood and Tayalisi have recorded that Abu Razeen' aqeeli
asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) as to how Allaah Ta’ala alive the dead ones. Rasoolullaah (SAS) asked
him as, whether he saw a barren land, he replied in positive, then he asked him as to whether he saw
it green and fertile, he replied in positive also, then Rasoolullaah (SAS) said “Like that Allaah Ta’ala

indeed streams gush out, and indeed it breaks water comes out from it, and indeed from which fall
down because of fear of Allaah, and Allaah is not unaware of that which you do”.
Quoting Abdullah Ibn Umar, it is recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has warned against too much
talking, without remembering Allaah Ta’ala and said, “Too much talk hardens the heart and
hardened hearted ones are far away from Allaah Ta’ala”.
Quoting Anas, Al-Bazar has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “Four qualities lead to
wretchedness, non flow of tears in fear of Allaah, hard heartedness, increase in desires, greed for
worldly things”.

they separate they were as usual.

Quoting Musnad Ahmad, Al-Bukhari and Nisa'e, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that on the day when
Khaiber was conquered, poisoned fried meat was presented before Rasoolullaah (SAS), by the Jews,
he called them and asked the names of their fathers. They told the names, Rasoolullaah (SAS) told
them they lied in their replies, and told the names of their fathers, which they accepted. Then
Rasoolullaah (SAS) asked them to tell the truth. They agreed and said they will not succeed if they
lie, as they had examined him. Then Rasoolullaah (SAS) asked them, “Who are the dwellers of he
Hell?”, They replied, “We will dwell there for a few days afterwards your followers ”.Rasoolullaah
(SAS) refuted them and asked, “Is the fried meat poisoned They replied. “Yes”, when asked about the
reason they replied, “If you are true you will recognize it, if not we will get rid of you”.

81. Why not/yes, One who earned evil and his wrong doing surrounded him, so they are the
companions of Fire, therein they will live for ever.
Quoting Musnad Ahmad, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he
has cautioned against belitting the sins as its accumulation will cause the destruction of human-
being, and explained with an example that if every one bring a stick, it will raise to a huge heap,
which is enough to burn a biggest thing.

83. And when we took the promise from the children of Israel, to worship none but Allaah and be
good to parents and relatives and orphans and poor needy and speak to the people with kindness, be
steadfast in prayers and pay “Zakaat” (to the entitled ones), then you turned back except few from
you, and you are the back-turners.
Quoting Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), that
he asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) about the action, which is most excellent. Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied,
“to pray at the prescribed time”, he asked about the next, Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “to treat the
parents with kindness”, he asked about the next, Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “to struggle for the
cause of Allaah”.
Ibn Kaseer has also recorded the reply of Rasoolullaah (SAS), when he was asked by a person as
to whom he should treat well, Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “with your mother”, twice He (SAS)
replied for his mother and the third time He (SAS) named “ to his father”, afterwards the relatives
according to the nearness.
Quoting “Musnad Ahmad” Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) about the
good deeds, “One should not belittle any good deed however small it may be, if not, greet your
brother with a smiling face”.

Allaah) with that with which yourselves did not desired, you were arrogant, thus you denied to some
and to some you kill.

that they were desiring victory on the infidels, so when it came to them which they recognized, (but)
they rejected it, thus curse of Allaah is upon the infidels.

90. Evil is that for which they sell their souls, so as to reject that which Allaah has revealed, with
their unjust desire, as is being sent down with His grace upon whom Allaah desire from His servants.
So they settled down with anger upon anger, and shameful punishment is for the infidels.
Here the rejection is because of their pride, so Rasoolullaah (SAS) has informed that those who

97. Say, “One who is enemy to Jibrael,(AS) as he brings down the revelations upon your heart,
by the will of Allaah, confirmative to that which is with him, a guidance and a good news to the
believers”.
For enemity to Jibrael, (AS) quoting Ibn Abbas, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that a group of Jews
approached Rasoolullaah (SAS) and asked him to answer their questions, if he was the messenger of
Allaah. Rasoolullaah (SAS) accepted their challenge and took promise from them that if he
answered correctly, they should accept him to be the messenger of Allaah, and follow him.
At first they asked him, “Before the revelations of Towrat on Yakoob (AS), what was that he
prohibited himself on his self”? Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “When he suffered with the disease”
"‫"ﻋﺮق اﻟﻨﺴﺎء‬Sciatica, he took a vow to renounce his favourate food and drink, i.e. meat and milk of
camel. By the will of Allaah, he got cured from the disease, and left the consumption of the above
two things. They confirmed his reply to be correct.
Like wise they asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) finally, “who brings the revelations to the prophets as
indicated in Towrat. Rasoolullaah (SAS) replied, “Jibrael (AS) brings revelations on him and
brought the revelations to other prophets before him”. They confirmed his reply to be correct, but
refused to follow him, as Jibrael (AS) is enemy to them, who brought destructions and sufferings on
them.

98. “Whoever is an enemy to Allaah and His angels and His messengers and Jibrael, and
Meekaala, then surely Allaah is enemy to those who reject Faith”.
Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein Allaah Ta’ala has declared
war against those who have enemity with His holy men. In another saying it is recorded that Allaah
Ta’ala takes revenge for the misdeeds to His holy men and that he will be destroyed if Allaah Ta’ala
becomes enemy to him.
Quoting Aayesha (Rz), Al-Qurtubi has recorded that while seeking Allaah Ta’aa'la’s protection
from the fire of the hell and the punishment in the grave, Rasoolullaah (SAS) had addressed Allaah
Ta’ala as the “Lord” of Jibrael, Meekaala, and Israfeel.

102. “And they followed that which the evil ones were spreading during the reign of
Sulaiman,(AS) Sulaiman(AS) did not committed infidelity, but the evil ones did committed
infidelity. They were teaching magic to the people and that which was sent down on the two angles
in Babil, (Babylon). Haroota and Maroota, and they were not teaching unless, the two said “we are
certainly a test”, so do not be infidel. Thus they were learning from the two, that which cause
separation between man and his wife, and they were not causing harm to any one with it, except with
the will of Allaah, and were learning that which harm them and do not benefit them. And certainly
they knew that one who buy it, he will not have any thing from the creation (of Allaah) in the life to
come (Hereafter.) Evil is that they said sold it for their self”.
Quoting Ibn Abi'Hatim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that in an occasion Ali Ibn Abitalib(Rz) had to
cross the land of Babil. Even it was the time for the prayer of “Asr”, he did not prayed there and
 24

crossed over and prayed and said, “Rasoolullaah (SAS) has directed me not to pray in the grave yard
and the land of Babil, as it is a cursed land”.
Ibn Kaseer has recorded an accepted saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) that one who approached a
sorcerer, he became an infidel.

The herdsman is called “‫”راﻋﻰ‬, in this respect Muslim has recorded that An'Nu’man Ibn Basheer
has said that he listened Rasoolullaah (SAS) explaining, “The permissible ones are clear and the
prohibited ones are also clear, but in between are the doubtful ones. So one who saved from the
doubtful things, he is as if asked to be absolved in his religious affairs and honour, and one who
indulged himself in the doubtful things, it is as if indulged in the prohibited ones, as a herdsman who
graze his herd around the prohibited land, there is every possibility that his herd will graze in the
prohibited land.

Rasoolullaah (SAS) had walked extending his breast and shoulders during the first three rounds and
walked with normal steps during the remaining four rounds, and after that prayed two prostrations
behind the place where the stone is kept.
And also that the foot prints of Ibraaheem (AS) were visible on the stone and wiped out due to

that on the day when Mecca was conquered Rasoolullaah (SAS) said, “From the creation of the earth
and the sky, this place is made respectable and glorified. So fighting and slaughtering are prohibited
for even on this day it was permitted for a little period and prohibited forever, even the thorns are not
to be cut, and animals should not be driven away for hunting, and any thing lying should not be
taken away except its recognized owner”. On the plea of Abdullaah Ibn Abbaas (Rz) Rasoolullaah
(SAS) permitted to cut the “Uzkhur” (a kind of grass).

He replied, “While reconstructing the House her predecessors reduced its basement from that of
which Ibraaheem (AS) built. Had I not have the fear of the neo-muslims, I would have reconstructed
the House on the foundation of Ibraaheem (AS)”, when she asked about the raised door, he replied,
“It was because to allow into it whom they desired and refused entry to the others, whom they did
not liked”. Rasoolullaah (SAS) had also mentioned his desire to lower the door to the ground level
and have two doors, at east and the other at west, one for entry and the other for exit.

and the messenger become witness upon you and We have not made “Qibla” towards which you
were except to know who follows the messenger from those who turns back on his heels, and it was
a great (test) except on those whom Allaah has guided, and Allaah will not waste your belief, and
Allaah is certainly full of pity on human beings, Most Merciful”.
Quoting Abu-Sayeed Al-Qudri, Al-Bukhari has recorded the explanation of Rasoolullaah (SAS)
that on the Day of Judgment, prophet Nooh (AS) will be called by Allaah Ta’ala and asked as to
whether or not he informed his people all revelations made upon him. He will say, “Yes, I have
conveyed all that which was revealed upon me to my people”. Then his people will be asked to
confirm his statement. All of them will deny it. Thus prophet Nooh (AS) will be asked to produce
witness. He will reply, “Yes, Mohammed (SAS) and his “Ummat” will testify my statement”. There
after the Ummat of Rasoolullaah (SAS) stand witness and say, “Yes, Nooh (AS) has conveyed to his
people all that which was revealed upon him”. Allaah Ta’ala will asked them, “How can you say
that”. They will repeat this Aayat 143, wherein they are made the Ummat to stand witness upon the
people.
Likewise the process will continue for all the prophets and their people.
With reference to “Allaah will not waste the belief of His believers”, Quoting Abdullah Ibn
Abbaas, Tirmizi, has recorded the explanation of Rasoolullaah (SAS) that after the change of Qibla,
the followers of Rasoolullaah (SAS) asked him about their prayers which they performed facing
“Bait'ul'Maqdis”. This Aayat is revealed, that their prayers will not be wasted.
With reference to Allaah’s Compassion and Mercy, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Rasoolullaah
(SAS) saw an imprisoned woman, who lost her child and was mad in her search for her child. She
was holding and embracing many Children thinking them to be hers. Finally she found her child and
was over joyed, exceeded in her embracement to her child. Showing that Rasoolullaah (SAS) asked
his companions, as to whether the woman will through her child in fire. All replied in negative. Then
Rasoolullaah (SAS) said, “Allaah is much more compassionate and merciful on His servants than
that woman”.

Quoting Abu Sulma, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has advised, “whenever
you confront with troubles, say," Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaiyhi raaji'uun" and pray "Salaat"
“O’ Allaah protect/ reward me in my difficulties and make me to succeed the betterment in it”.
Abu Sulma narrated this saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) to his wife Umm Sulma (Rz). It so
happened that when Abu Sulma died, she prayed the above prayer. After that she wondered as to
who could be a better reward than Abu Sulma. She revealed that after the period of Iddat, [the period

158. “Surely the hillocks of As'Safa and Al'Marwata are among the signs of Allaah, so whoever
goes on pilgrimage (Hajj) or goes on to pay a visit (Umrah), there is no sin on him if he goes round
both of them, and who ever do good voluntarily, thus Allaah is certainly the appreciator, the
knower”.
Quoting Aa’yesha (Rz), Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Urwa has saught her opinion that walking
around between As'Safa and Al'Marwata, is not prescribed as a must in the Hajj and Umrah. She
refuted him, and said that it is a must in Hajj and Umrah. And that this revelation came when the
Ansars avoided it, as before the dawn of Islaam, there was a statue of Munat, whom the Ansars were
worshiping. Thinking it to be a sin, they stopped doing so. It is also established that Rasoolullaah
(SAS) has done it and instructed that one should start it from the hillock As'Safa.

after that which We have mentioned it for the people in the Book, Those are upon whom Allaah
curses and curse them the cursers”.
Quoting Bra’a'Ibn'Aazib, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS). “In the
grave the infidels are being hit on their fore-head with a hammer, with such severity that its sound is
heard by all living creatures except jinn and human beings and that these creatures curse these
infidels.

asked, and that person hides it knowingly then on the Doomsday, a bridle of fire will be placed in his
mouth.

and the alternation the winds and the clouds, its subjugation between the sky and the earth Certainly
there are signs to the people who think over/ understand”.
Quoting Abu-Huraira, Abu Dawood has recorded that he heard Rasoolullaah (SAS) saying, “The
wind is the refreshment of Allaah, it comes with the mercy of Allaah, and with His punishment, so
when you see it, don’t abuse it, but ask Allaah’s pleasantries and seek Allaah’s protection from its
disaster “.
Al-Qurtubi has also recorded that whenever gusty winds below, Rasoolullaah (SAS) used to pray,
“O’ Allaah make it refreshing and do not make it (unpleasing) wind”.
Quoting Aa’yesha (Rz), Muslim has recorded Rasoolullaah (SAS)’s behavior when gusty wind
blew. She said, “His worried face could be observed, he used to move to and fro, and when it turned
into rain, he would become normal and pleased with it”. She said, “I asked him about it”. He replied,
“I feared for, it may become a punishment on my Ummat and when it rained, it turned a mercy”.
In another saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) it is recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has expressed his sorrow on
who ever read this Aayat, and did not thought over it.

177. “It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the east or the west, but
righteousness is that (when) one believes in Allaah, and the Doomsday, and the angles and the Book
and the prophets and give the wealth for His love to the relatives and the orphans and the poor and
the traveler and the beggars and for setting the slaves free and establish prayer and pay Zakaat and
fulfill their promise and keep patience in hardships and adversaries and in conflicts. Those are (the
persons) who are truthfully believed and those are who guard themselves against evils”.
Quoting FatimaD/o Qais, AD-Darul-qutni, has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS)
“Beside Zakaat there is an obligation in the wealth”, and recited this Aayat. No. 177.
Quoting Abu Zarr, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) was asked about the Faith,
he read this Aayat.No.177. Thrice he replied the same afterwards said, “Faith is love for virtues and
hate for evils”.
Quoting Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the explanation of Rasoolullaah (SAS)
for charity. “The best charity is that which is spent in love for Allaah, during health and having the
fear of decrease in the wealth and have the inclination to have more wealth”.
Ibn Kaseer has also recorded another explanation of Rasoolullaah (SAS), wherein he has
explained, “Giving alms to the poor fetch a single reward and if given to a deserving relative it
fetches double rewards, one for charity and the another for the kindness towards the relative.
Quoting Abu Huraira, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), wherein he has
explained, “The poor are not the persons who roam asking alms, one or two dates, or one or two
loafs of bread, but those are the poor who do not have enough to meet their necessities and do not
appear as if to reveal upon others their poverty so give them alms.
In another sayings of Rasoolullaah (SAS) Ibn Kaseer has recorded wherein he has said, “The
beggar is having the right even though he comes riding”.

and that at first he said, “Allaah has earmarked the rights of the successors”.
Quoting Abu Sayeed Al-Qudri, Ad'Darul'qutni has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS)

in charity after his death”.

person approached Rasoolullaah (SAS) and said, “I am having only one daughter to succeed me,
kindly permit me to execute a will given her two third of my belonging”. Rasoolullaah (SAS) said
“No”, then asked for half, which was also rejected, then he asked for one third, which Rasoolullaah
(SAS) permitted and added, “It is also much more. It is better for you to leave behind your relatives
rich, then leaving them poor, and they extend their hand before others” (for financial help).
Quoting Ibn Hatim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “The charity of a
person who is cruel in his life would be returned back”.
Quoting Abu Huraira, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “A person who
did good deeds for seventy years, but commits cruelty in executing his will, will be destined to Hell,
and some people lead an evil life for seventy years, but by committing justice in the execution of the
will, will be destined to Heaven”.

payment of ransom) the ransom of food for the poor. Thus one who does good willingly[fast], it is
good for him and if you fast, (it is) good for you, If you have the knowledge”.
Quoting Ibn Umar, Al- Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), “Islaam is
formed on the five, To testify that there is no God except Allaah and that Muhammad (SAS) is

could not fast during Ramazan due to illness afterwards he recovered from his illness and could not

185. “The month of Ramazan, during which the Al-Qur’an was sent down a guidance for human-
beings and clear explanations of the guidance and the distinguisher, (between right and wrong), so
whoever among you is present in this month, thus It is upon him to fast, and one who is ill or on a
journey, he should complete the number from the later days. Allaah desires easiness upon you and
does not desire hardship upon you and to complete the number, (of the days missed) and to praise
Allaah’s greatness for having guided you, and so that you may be grateful”.

Wherein he said, “when one asks Allaah which is not a sin or which do not cut off the relationships,
Allaah will certainly grant that which is asked, or it will be kept in abeyance to be granted in the life
to come or due to that He will protect him from the impending troubles”.
Quoting Anas, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he has said,
“Allaah says to the sons of Aadam[AS], there are three deeds, first for you, next for Me and the third
is in between Us, the First one is to serve Me alone, and should not be included others in it. The
second one is for Me, which is to grant full reward for all your deeds. The third one is, on your part
to ask Me, and My part is accept it”.
In another saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), Ibn Kaseer has recorded wherein he has said that the
requests of three persons will not be rejected. The first is that of a rightful honest king, the second is
that of the person who is on fast, the third one is that of the victim of injustice. The doors of the sky
will be opened for the curse of the victim of injustice and Allaah vows to help him, though it may be
delayed”.

them and seek that which Allaah has prescribed to you, eat and drink till you can distinguish the

"‫ )إﻋﺘﻜﺎف‬Those are the limits, so do not go near them. Like that Allaah reveals His signs to the

Quoting Muslim, Al-Qurtubi has recorded Aa'yesha’ (Rz) saying that whenever Rasoolullaah
(SAS) desired to observe Ei’tikaf"‫" إﻋﺘﻜﺎف‬, he used to begin it after the prayer, "Salaat'ul'Fajr"
[prayer at dawn].
Quoting Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein
he has advised to eat before dawn [Sahree], while observing fast, as there is prosperity in it”.
In another saying recorded by Ibn Kaseer, Rasoolullaah (SAS) has said, “My people will live
safely, so long they hasten in ending the fast and delay in eating for the fast”.

easy for sacrifice, and do not shave your heads till your sacrifices reach its place, then one who is
sick or suffering from his head, then ransom is to fast or charity or sacrifice, if you are in peace then
one who desire benefit of Umra and Hajj, then that which can be easy for sacrifice, then one who do
not have anything (for sacrifices) then fasting for three days during Hajj and seven days when you

Masjid'il'Haraam, and be fearful of Allaah and have the knowledge that Allaah is severe in

Quoting Al-Qurtubi it is explained that wearing of “Ehram” (the garment of Hajj and Umra)
Rasoolullaah (SAS) has fixed the following places. For the pilgrims of Al-Madina Zal-Haleefat, for
the pilgrims of Syria Al'Juhnat, for those from Najd, Qarn and those for Yaman, Yalamlam.
Quoting Abdullah Ibn Umar (Rz), Al-Qurtubi has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has prayed
for the mercy on those who shaved their head. He was asked to pray for those who shortened their
hairs, but he prayed for those who shaved their heads. On the third time he prayed for those who
shortened their hairs.
Quoting Abu Dawood Al-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he
said, “For women shaving their heads is not necessary but they have to shorten their hairs.

(days), there should not be sexual intercourse (with your wives), should not be sinful doings and
should not be disputing during the Hajj, and whatever you do from good,

Allaah knows it and take along provisions (for the journey), so the best provision is fear of
Allaah and “Fear Me O’ Wise men”.

Arafat remember Allaah, near the sacred monuments, and remember Him, as He has directed you
and before this you were from the strayed ones”.
Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS), wherein he was asked about the trade
(buying and selling) during Hajj, and Rasoolullaah (SAS) permitted both buying and selling.
Quoting Jabir, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that on the day of “Arafaat” Rasoolullaah (SAS) stayed
there till sun set, and moved to “Muzdalfa”, after the sun set, prayed there the prayers of Magrib and
Esha, stayed there till dawn praying, and prayed the prayer of Fajr, and moved from there before the
sun rise.

199. Then hasten (in your movement) from (the place) like the people (who) hastened in their
return, and seek the forgiveness of Allaah. Certainly Allaah is most Forgiver the most Merciful.
Quoting Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded that after the obligatory prayers Rasoolullaah (SAS) used to
pray Allaah for forgiveness three times, and both Al-Bukhari and Muslim have recorded that Rasoolullaah
(SAS) used to order the people to say each, ‫ﺳُﺒﺤﺎن اﻟﻠّﮫ‬, ‫ اﻟﺤﻤﺪُﻟﻠّﮫ‬,‫اﷲ اﻛﺒﺮ‬ "Subhaanallaah,
Alhamdulillaah,'Allaahu'Akbar"thirty three times each.
Quoting both Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded an event wherein Abu-Bakr (Rz)
asked Rasoolullaah (SAS) to teach him a best wish to be sought during prayer, (’‫ )اﻟﺼﻼه‬,
Rasoolullaah (SAS) told him to recite.

Quoting Aa’yesha (Rz) Al-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he
said, “When you throw pebbles of the Shaitaan, and shaved your heads, and sacrificed, then you are
permitted to use everything except your wives, i.e. even use normal clothing’s and use scents.

Quoting Ahmad, Al-Qurtubi has recorded that Rasoolullaah (SAS) fixed three days (of stays) in
Mina. Ibn Kaseer has recorded that during his stay in Mina, he ordered Abdullaah Ibn Huzaifa, (Rz)
to roam in Mina, and inform the people, not to observe fast during these days and that these are the

desired to complete the suckling, and up on the infants father, (to bear) their food, and their clothings
to her who allows suckling in a well known manner. No soul is burdened, except her capacity. No

Al-Qurtubi has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he explained plague is a
punishment which was sent by Allaah upon a sect of the children of Israel, and remained, so when it
occurs at a place wherein you dwell, you should not run away from the place, and when you find a
place where this epidemic is prevailing, then you should not enter in that place”.

“Will you refuse?. If the fighting is made mandatory upon you, then you may not fight. They said,

258. Have you not seen him, who disputed with Ibraaheem [AS] about his Nourisher, while
Allaah had given him the kingdom, when Ibraaheem [AS] said, “My Nourisher is He, by whom life
and death, are given”, He said”, “I give life and cause death”. Ibraaheem [AS] said,” then surely
Allaah causes the sun to rise from the east, so you cause it rise from the west. Thus astonished who
rejected the Faith, and Allaah does not guide unjust people.

Quoting Ibn Hatim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded he saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he said,
“No charity is superior to a good work”.
Quoting Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he said,
“Three types of persons to whom Allaah will not talk on the Doomsday, and will not see at them
with mercy on the contrary they will have painful punishment. (1) One who stresses his generosity
upon the person he favored. (2) Who wears his pants below his ankle. (3) Who sells his goods with
false vow.
While in Ibn Maa’ja and other books the three persons are described as (1) who disobeys his
parents, (2) who stresses his generosity upon the person he favored (3) Drunker and rejecter of fate,
they will not enter in the Heaven.

distributed your ethics, Allaah gives worldly facilities to His friends as well as to His enemies, but
He give religiousness to His friends, one who gets religiousness he is the beloved of Allaah, I swear
in the mane, in whose hand my life is, no one can be a Muslim unless his heart and tongue become
Muslim, and one can be a believer unless his neighbours are fearless from his troubles”. When asked
about the troubles, he said, “It is deceitfulness and certainly, towards them and one who earns with
unlawful means, Allaah do not give prosperity in it, and do not accept his charity, and which he lay
behind him, it becomes a cause of his abode in the Hell, Allaah do not wipes out evil from evil, but
wipes out with righteousness”.

presence in the mosque from the time he left it till he retuned in it, (5) the person who wept during
his remembrance of Allaah in his loneliness. (6) The person who refused when a beautiful woman
called him for indecency, saying “I fear Allaah in this act”. (7) The person who gave charity secretly
in such a way that his left hand was ignorant of that which he gave from his right hand.

and that which you spend from virtues, thus surely Allaah knows it”.
Quoting Abu Zirr, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he said, “I
have heard Rasoolullaah (SAS) saying “who ever possess forty dirham and ask something he is like
the one who ask people holding them around”.

275. “ Those who eat increase (in their wealth), do not stand (behave) except like the one who
stand (behave) to whom the Shaitaan (Satan) has made him wander about with his touch, that is
because they said, “Surely trade is just like the increase (‫( )اﻟﺮﺑﻮا‬in wealth) and Allaah has permitted
trade and prohibited the increase (in the wealth), so, one to whom sermon has came to him from his
Nourisher, thus restrained himself, for him that which is passed over and his matter is with Allaah,
and one who reverted, thus those are the companions of Fire, they will dwell in it forever”.
Note: - Generally the scholars have translated "‫ "اﻟﺮﺑﻮا‬as usury, and so Bank interest is made
prohibitive, unfortunately it does not suit me. I have tried to study it in detail and have come across,
the following. I have approach some of the scholars, with my explanation, but they have not
responded, neither denied nor accepted.
(1). The word "‫ "اﻟﺮﺑﻮا‬carry only one meaning, that is increase, so, if a question is asked as to, in
which Allaah has prohibited this increase?
Its first answer should be “in trade”."‫ "ھَىﺎﻟﺒﯿﻊ‬that, Allaah has prohibited increase of profit in trade
"‫"ﻓَىﺎﻟﺒﯿﻊ‬. It is an established fact.
Not only in Arabic but in almost all the languages, the reference has to be taken to mean the
information which is succeeding or preceding to the word, hence "Ar'riba" succeeds the word
"Al'Bai'a"[trade].Thus Allaah has prohibited increase in trade, after a prescribed limit.
(2). In the third “Surat” "‫ "آﻟﻌﻤﺮان‬Aayat No.130, Allaah says,

“O’ those who have believed, do not eat the increase in multiples.
(3). In the next Aayat, Allaah says,
     
meaning thereby “Allaah will wipe out “the increase”(in trade) and there will be increase in the
charities”. If the declaration of Allaah is examined, one can easily agree that in charities of any
community, it is on increase, and if it is applied in a trade, who desires to have increase in his profit
and tries to sell a thing for three rupees, while the other trader next door sells the same for two
rupees. It can easily be concluded that the trade of the trader who wants to have "‫“ "اﻟﺮﺑﻮا‬the
increase, his trade will be wiped out”.
Besides there is a saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he said
‫ﻵرﺑﻮادرھﻤﺎًﺑﺪرھﻤﯿﻦ‬
“No” Riba" increase for a Dirham for two Dirhams, a date for two dates, a wheat for two wheats,
a barley for two barlies, a husk for two husks, [immediately] taking from one hand and giving from
 68

the other, except "Annasee'a" delay in payment, or forgetfulness”.

Imam Malik in his collection of Ahadees, "Al'mu'atta" has explained the meaning of
"Annasee'a" “During the days of Pre-Islaamic Period, things were borrowed under certain conditions
(normally an increase by some number/ weight). On the date of promise for the return, the creditor
will approach the debtor and used to say, " A taqzee am turba" “will you pay back or you will be
increased (the number/ weight)? Here the creditor used to exploit the debtor who could not return as
promised. For this Rasoolullaah (SAS) termed it to be to "shameful", it is as if one marries his own
mother.
In respect of the saying of this Hadees the warning of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (Rz) is also recorded
wherein he said that Rasoolullaah (SAS) has said, the above during his last days, and that “we could
not understand its meaning (who can be the wise who can take one Dirham from one hand and return
two from the other hand). So he cautioned the people for being careful in its understanding. He has
not denied about the correctness of this Hadees..
Beside there a number of sayings of Rasoolullaah [SAS] wherein ha has termed them to be
"Riba" that is purchasing the yield of grain etc in advance of its harvest, purchasing the goods before
it reaches the market, purchasing the raw fruits etc on the trees/fields, hoarding to get more after the
goods scarce, all of the appear in the chapter of "Kitaabul'Buyuu" [Chapter of trade] in Al'Buqaari.
Beside the “Ummat” has tolerated two famous Imams i.e. Imam Ash'Shaafa'e and Imam'Aazam
Abu'Hanifa, who have taken different and divergent meanings in respect of " Salasata quruu'. quruu
has two different meanings, menstruation and cleanliness. Thereby the problem if permitted by one
is prohibited by the other.
Imam Ash'Shaafa'e, has taken the meaning of cleanliness whereas Imam'Aazam Abu'Hanifa has taken
the meaning of menstruation, with this, in seven basic issues, permitted by one is prohibited by other.
There are number of Ahadees recorded under " Arriba" “Rasoolullaah (SAS) has termed as
shameful when one tries to cheat in trade the other, such as purchasing the yield when it is on the
trees or on its way to market etc. three words are commonly used i.e. , equality justice, just in
between; but under “mutual agreement”, no check is made.
Considering the utility of Banking system, in the present economy it is horrible to think of a
nation without Banking systems, when such is the case how can Islaam the pioneer of well-being
can condemn and prohibit it?
When "Ar'riba" in condemned as shameful in the sayings of Rasoolullaah [SAS], and even
lending of a pen as a social act, is forbidden, and the lending person is treated as one among the
persons involved in the acts of "Ar'riba", irony is that in these Islaamic banking institutions deposit
their funds in the banks/bank lockers, for such deposits banks do not allow any interest, but utilizes
in its routine earning business .
Quoting Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Ibn Kaseer has recorded the saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS)
wherein he said, “the permitted ones and the prohibited ones are cheer but in between, there are
certain things which are doubtful. So, leave away those doubtful things. Those who leave away
doubtful things, have saved his religion and honour, and that one who indulge, in the doubtful things,
he may commit the prohibited things, it is as if one who graze his cattles, around the fields of others,
there is every possibility, that his cattle may put their mouths in the fields of others. “Al-Qurtubi has
also recorded the same Quoting No'man Ibn Basheer.
Ibn Kaseer has also recorded another saying of Rasoolullaah (SAS) wherein he has explained the
sin. “Sin is that which irk the heart and its exposure on others is disliked”.
