Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬

“Indeed, actions are only according to intentions, and indeed a person receives only
what he has intended. Therefore, whoever’s migration is for Allah and His Messenger,
then his emigration is [truly] for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever’s migration is
for worldly gain or a woman he is to marry, then his migration is for what he has
migrated.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

CLASS NOTES:
What you intend in your heart is what you truly intend.
There are three types of Hijra:
The first type: (‫)هجرة المكان‬
The first type of Hijra is from the UK to a Muslim country.
The second type: (‫)هجرة العمل‬
The second type of Hijra is when you abandon an action for Allah.
The third type: (‫)هجرة العامل‬
The third type of Hijra is when you abandon someone who exposes their sin or from a person due
to their action.

COMMENTARY
- This hadith addresses the importance of sincere intention in one’s worship.
- A person’s intention should be pure at the beginning of every action.
- The title of reward for an action depends on a person's intention for performing that action.
- If an action is carried out with sincerity, it is rewarded by Allah, otherwise it is useless.
- The reason why Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ )
mentioned the importance of correcting intentions is because there was once
a man in Makkah who asked a lady by the name of Umm Qais for her hand in marriage.
- Umm Qais put a condition that in order to get married to
me you will have to leave your city and migrate to Madinah.
- The man fulfilled the condition and migrated and they got married.
- The man that migrated became known to the people as Muhaajir Umm Qais.
- Migration in those days had a great reward and Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) wanted to
emphasise that whatever action we do the intention needs to be for Allah’s sake.
- However, hadith scholars consider this to be an unconfirmed opinion.
- Niyya means to intend, desire or will something.
- Niyya is a function of the heart and not the tongue.
- Through Niyya, a person differentiates the nature of the action he is to perform.
- For example, an optional or make-up fast.
- It also differentiates its purpose such as spending to show off to others
or spending to please Allah and spread His religion.
- Actions are only according to intentions refers to how an action
can only be considered religiously valid if done with a sound intention.
- For instance, a person’s fast which includes avoiding food, drink, and sexual intercourse from dawn to
sunset, will only be considered valid if he had intended to fast for the sake of fasting and not, for
instance, because he did not have the time to eat during a busy work day.
- A person receives only what he has intended refers to the
reward a person will gain for a soundly intended action.
- With regard to intention, an action done purely for Allah's sake is superior to one
that is coupled with a desire to gain something worldly.
- For example, a pilgrim who makes the pilgrimage for Allah’s sake
but also intends to trade while in Makkah [a permissible action].
- However, if the reason for performing an act of worship is mixed with braggingness,
even to the slightest degree, then the action will not be accepted by Allah.
- As for unexpected praise a person receives on some accomplishment,
it is not sinful even if one feels happiness about it.
- Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ described this praise and honour as:
“Advanced glad tidings [from Allah] for the believer” (Muslim).

What happens if an action is started with a pure intention, but the opinion of bragging occurs afterwards?
If it is a short opinion and does not stay in one’s heart then it will not cause any harm. However, if it is entertained and allowed to rest in one’s heart, then
there are two opinions. Imam Ahmad and Hasan al-Basri have expressed hope that the person will still be rewarded based on his initial intention in spite of
the entry of braggingness while performing the action. However, Ibn Jarir al-Tabari explains that it depends on the type of action. For example, if it is a broad
action, such as salat, fasting, or pilgrimage, which requires an initial intention, and if its requirements are met, then the action is considered complete, then
braggingness creeping in the middle of this action will not harm it. If, however, the action is not of this type but rather a separate action not consisting of
requirements, such as recitation of the Qur'an, remembrance of Allah, or teaching, then the intention will have to remain pure and free from bragging
throughout the action in order to be valid. Hence, actions require a renewal of the intention in order for them to gain reward.

CLASS NOTES: Nasiha is

when you want good for the one you are advising.
The best of the religion is to advise people.
You can’t follow deen without seeking advice.
Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ said
‘The religion of Islam is sincerity’ three times.
The companions said ‘To whom O’ Messenger of Allah’.
Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّلم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ replied:
‘To Allah, to his book, to his messenger, to the Imams,
to the leaders of the Muslim community and to their common people.

COMMENTARY
- Nasiha means to act with sincerity or to give good advice or to direct towards good.
- Nasihah to Allah means that you should have correct
belief in Allah and reject associating anything with Him.
- You should constantly try to purify the relationship with Him.
- You should do what is required and sustain from what is prohibited.
- You must know how to implement the shariah of Allah in your life.
- Nasiha is so important that it is the job of the messengers because they were sent to warn their people
from the punishment of Allah and to call them to the worship of Allah alone.
- Nasihah to His Book means believing that the Quran is the Speech of Allah,
that it was sent down as Revelation, and that there is
no similarity between the Speech of Allah and the speech of mankind.
- To be pure and sincere in your relationship with the Quran
requires that you have the utmost respect to the Quran.
- You call the Quran with respectful names, such as the Noble Quran and the Glorious Quran.
- You have to act on and respect the content of the Book,
by carrying out its commands and staying away from its prohibitions.
- Explaining the Quran to others, helping people understand the beauty of the Quran and defending the
Quran against attacks is part of giving nasiha to Allah’s Book.
- Part of giving Nasihah to Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ is knowing him, understanding his life
and the struggles he went through and relating his struggles to your daily life.
- Loving Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ more than anything else and loving him more than yourself
is part of giving nasihah to Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ .
- Obeying Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬ ‫و‬
َ َ ْ َ ُ ِ
‫ه‬ ‫ي‬‫ل‬َ ‫ع‬ ‫هلّلا‬ ‫ى‬ َّ
‫ل‬ ‫ص‬
َ , rejecting those who had hatred towards him, honouring
him, and following his manners and sunnah are all important aspects of giving nasihah to Prophet
Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ .
- Giving nasihah to the leaders of the Muslims involves making dua for them that Allah guides them,
protects them and makes them able to carry out their responsibilities.
- Another way of giving nasiha to the leaders of the Muslims is to know them,
interact with them, get involved in their efforts in a constructive way and
not to sit back and criticise what they are doing without trying to help them.
- Giving nasihah to the Muslims in general means giving them advice.
- The Prophet (sas) said, “The rights of a believer over a believer are six”.
- He mentioned that among them is "if he asks you for advice you have to give him advice.”
- Giving nasiha involves guiding them towards that
which will correct their affairs in both this life and the next.
- It involves protecting them from harm, helping them in times of need, providing what is beneficial for
them, encouraging them to do good and forbidding them from evil with kindness and sincerity, and
showing mercy towards them.

CLASS NOTES:
A person can make dua to Allah when hopes are cut off.
There are four types of Dua.
The first type of Dua is Dua Fardh.
E.g. Allah commanded Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ
to make Dua for the destruction of the nation.
The second type of Dua is Dua wajib. E.g. Dua Qunoot.
The third type of Dua is Dua sunnah. E.g. Dua after Tashahhud.
The fourth type of Dua is Dua ibaadah. E.g. General Dua.

COMMENTARY
— Supplication has been called the essence of worship for two main reasons.
— First, by supplicating to Allah, a person fulfils his obligation of calling on Allah.
— This is understood from the verse
“And your Lord says, ‘Call on Me, I will answer you (your prayer) (Qur'an 40:60).
— This is worship in its purest form.
— Second, by calling on Allah, one realises that only He can fulfil one’s needs.
— It is when a person abandons hope in everything else.
— It is when he turns his full attention to Allah and humbles himself in front of Him.
— This is the essence of worship.
— Another desired result of worship is to attain reward from Allah.
— Because there is such great reward in supplication, it has been called the essence of worship.
- Allah has commanded us to call upon Him and He has promised to respond to our call.
- When making the Dua, it is acceptable to ask for good in this worldly life and in the hereafter. - A
person making Dua should not hold back, but ask
Allah to grant both the largest and smallest requests.

COMMENTARY
— Hadith narrations mention that there are more than seventy branches of faith.
— Of these, haya (modesty, bashfulness, shyness) is specifically mentioned.
— It is one of the most important branches.
- Modesty is a part of faith because the modest person is urged by
his modesty to stay away from sins and to perform religious obligations.
— Haya is an important means of restraining oneself from sin.
— The type of haya referred to in this hadith is the modesty that
comes from faith and not the natural shyness in a person.
— Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud relates that one day Prophet Muhammad said:
— “Be shy of Allah Most High as much as is His due.”
—. The Companions present said, “All praise to Allah, we are shy of Him.”
— Prophet Muhammad said:
— “That is not the point. Whoever is shy of Allah as much as is His due,
he should protect his head and that which it comprises (mind, mouth, ears),
his stomach and that which is adjoining it (preserve it from unlawful wealth and protect the private
parts from the unlawful) and he should remember death and that which is to come after it and whoever
desires the Hereafter should abandon the adornments of this world. Whoever fulfils these duties has
been shy of Allah as much as is His due”.

who loves a group of people, but is unable to join them?”
- ‘A group of people’ : learned or righteous people.
- ‘Unable to join them’ : A person who is unable to gain their company or
achieve the same status as them in knowledge and action.
- To this Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ replied:
- “A person will be with whom he loves”.
- This means that he will be gathered with them on the Day of Judgment.
- Allah says:
- “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger - they will be with those on whom
Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour from among the Prophets, the truthful who aided
the truth, the martyrs and the righteous - how excellent these companions are!” (Qu’ran).
- Those who aspire to be with evil people and sinners and secretly admire their actions, even though
they may not have committed those evil actions themselves, they will be gathered with the sinners on

COMMENTARY

- Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar states:
“Alcohol is the root of all shameless acts, and one of the biggest sins.
He who drinks alcohol it is as though he has committed adultery
with his mother, his paternal and maternal aunt.”
- Drinking alcohol leads many people to do things that they regret afterward.
- ‘There is a saying that a person was once called to prostrate
before an idol, but refused. He was then asked to commit murder, but refused.
He was then invited to commit adultery, but refused. However, when he was
offered alcohol he accepted and he then committed all of the other sins”.

COMMENTARY
- Haste: excessive speed of movement or action.
- When starting any form of worship or work for deen, one should hurry in starting it.
- However, rushing through ibadah is from shaytaan.
- For example, rushing towards praying salah, one should
hurry towards starting the worship but not during the salah.
- Shaytan likes us to rush so that we make mistakes.
- He does not like things to be good and perfect.
- He wants us to make lots of mistakes and have regrets.
- Allah likes you to be free of errors and be perfect so that you can have more time to worship him and so
that you can have peace of heart and mind with which you can worship him. - How many times
does it happen that you have done some work or completed a task and because you
have rushed it, your teachers or parents have said to you: “You could have done
better”. - A person is encouraged to
conduct his daily activities with calmness and patience. - This is because acting in haste
often leads to spoiling one’s actions. - However, when it comes to worship, a
person is encouraged to hasten towards good. - A person should start good acts with
determination and eagerness and then complete them with calmness, concentration
and devotion. - For example, it is disliked for one
to run to join the prayer, but it is admirable to perform the ablution (wudu) at home
and set out for the prayer early.

Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬

COMMENTARY
— This hadith describes the contrast between two types of people.
— The first type is a true believer who avoids the affairs of this world.
— He occupies himself with making provisions for the next world.
— At times, this type of person may be tricked in his worldly affairs, not out of ignorance,
but because of his generous and noble character and lack of concern for the
material objects of this world and he is free of doubt towards others.
— The second type of person is a transgressor or an unrighteous
person who is knowledgeable with the methods of falsehood.
— He never allows himself to be tricked but continually tricks others.
— He is ungenerous in nature.
— This type of person has been characterised by Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ
as ignoble and his nature contrary to that of a true believer.
- A true believer is simple and upright in his dealings with people.
- There is no hypocrisy or conflict in the way he conducts his affairs.
- A true believer is one who is always in worry in the life of the
hereafter and keeps this in the forefront of his mind in all dealings
and forgives everyone, the matter is the opposite of the transgressor.
- They do not forgive and think only of revenge.
- This is because they do everything only for the
life of this world, without a thought for the hereafter.
- Their ultimate goal is the life and luxury of this world and for this
they are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means deceiving people.

‫ال ُّظ ْل ُم ُظلُ َماتٌ َي ْو َم ا ْلقِ َيا َم ِة‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Oppression will be darkness on the Day of Judgment (Bukhari).

COMMENTARY
— Righteous deeds will be a source of light on the Day of Judgment.
— “Darknesses” : a symbolic reference to the hardships and torments of the Day of Judgment.
— Zulm can be upon oneself - the worst of which is ascribing
partners with Allah (shirk), followed by the major and minor sins.
— Or it can be related to others such as wrongfully taking another's honour, life or property.
- Oppression will turn into darkness on the Day of Resurrection.
- The reason for this is when someone oppresses another,
he turns the life of another person into darkness.
- For instance, if one steals someone’s £100,000,
he changes that person’s life into difficulties and gloominess.
- So on the Day of Judgment, Allah will darken the life of the oppressor for what he did.
- On the Day of Judgment, one will have to cross a bridge in order to gain entry into Paradise.
- The person’s good deeds will act as a light so that
he may cross and bridge and enter into Paradise.
- If someone oppresses, or is a disbeliever, a hypocrite, or a Muslim with very few
good deeds, then they will not receive this necessary brightness to cross the bridge.

Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬

The one who initiates the salam is free of pride.

COMMENTARY
- When two people are together, whether walking, sitting,
or riding, the one who says salam first is free from pride.
- Pride is one of the greatest sins and in order to cleanse the heart
from it, regular repentance must be established for its forgiveness.

HADITH TWELVE

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.
(Muslim, Tirmidhi).

COMMENTARY
- This world is a prison for the believer in comparison to the
bounties and rewards prepared for him in the next world.
- It is a paradise for a disbeliever in comparison to the
punishment awaiting him in the next world.
- A true believer's desire is to leave this world and meet Allah (hence, a prison),
whereas an unbeliever’s desire is to live in this world forever (hence, a paradise).
- A believer is mindful of Allah and is not free to do what they please.
- This is why this world feels like a prison to them.
- However a person who is not mindful of Allah does whatever
they feel or whatever they think they can get away with.
- There are many things that can be enjoyed in this world.
- A person who is not looking forward to meeting their Lord
would spend every moment trying to maximise their enjoyment here.
- The non - believer can find this world to be a Paradise.
- The believer knows that no happiness is everlasting and that
they are always in danger of falling into the hands of Shaytaan.
- They long to get out of the exam that this world is and into the safety of the grave.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬

َ ) said:
The tooth-stick is a purifier for the mouth and pleasure for the Lord.
The tooth stick cleans the mouth and pleases the Lord.

COMMENTARY
- The tooth-stick cleans the mouth from dirt, foul odours and other harmful things.
- The Sunnah practice of using the tooth-stick is achieved by brushing with anything that cleans the
teeth, such as the toothbrush and toothpaste, and any other cleaner.
- Using the tooth-stick has many benefits, including that it gives a pleasant smell to the mouth, firms the
gums, sharpens the eyesight, conforms to the Sunnah, delights the angels, pleases the Lord, increases
good deeds and heals the stomach.
- A person should start from the right side, and use a side-to-side
motion rather than up-and-down as it may harm the gums.

The upper [giving] hand is superior to the lower [taking] hand.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

COMMENTARY
- It is the position of giving something to someone that is superior to taking from someone.
- The upper hand is one that gives.
- The lower hand is one that takes.
- The upper hand refers to those who can comfortably support
themselves as well as their dependents and needy relatives.
- The person who spends and gives his wealth in charity and similar
acts of obedience is better than the one who asks people for money.

HADITH FIFTEEN

ARABIC
: ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫َقال َ ال َّن ِب ُّي‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
‫الز َنا‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Backbiting is worse than unlawful intercourse.

CLASS NOTES:
Talking behind someone’s back is very common,
not only with words, it can also be actions.
When one backbites, one should seek istighfaar.
The first way is by one asking the person to forgive them
without them saying that they have backbited.
The second way is by one going to the same place they have backbited
about them and they speak well about them.
If the person doesn’t accept the forgiveness, they should ask Allah for forgiveness.
The person that gets backbited about, takes the good deeds of the backbiter.

COMMENTARY
— This narration continues with the Companions asking
Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ why backbiting is more severe.
— Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ replied that:
— “The person who fornicates is forgiven by Allah if he sincerely repents, but the one who backbites is
not forgiven until the person he transgressed against forgives him.”
— Another reason for this is that unlawful intercourse is normally recognized by the fornicator as a
serious sin; hence, there is a greater chance of him turning to Allah and repenting.
— On the other hand, a person who backbites does not normally realise the
seriousness of his sin and takes it lightly; hence, he does not stop and repent.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Purity is half of faith (Muslim).

CLASS NOTES
A lot of Ibaadah is about purification.
Imaan is incomplete without purification.
Cleaning after oneself is the basics and the bare minimum.

COMMENTARY
— Some scholars have taken imaan (faith) to mean prayer (salat) in this context.
— Hence, purity becomes half of prayer because
it is the most important duty of the prayer.
— Another explanation is that just as entering into faith removes one’s major
and minor sins, the performing of ablution removes one’s minor sins.
— This hadith can also be taken as a general encouragement
towards purity in all one’s states and actions.
— It is important to note that purity is different from cleanliness.
— It means to be free from physical impurities like blood, urine, or stool and
from the state of ritual impurity while the later means to appear outwardly clean.
— Though this hadith speaks of purity in particular.
— Muslims should be both pure and clean as it was
the practice of Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬
َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ .
— The hadith refers to the inward and outward purity.
— The purity of the body is achieved by keeping away
from filth and removing the state of ritual impurity.
— The purity of the heart is to be free from polytheism and diseases of the heart.

HADITH SEVENTEEN

ARABIC
: ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ ‫َقال َ ال َّن ِب ُّي‬
‫اَ ْلقُ ْرَآنُ ُح َّج ٌة َّل َك َأ ْو َع َل ْي َك‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The Qur’an will either be evidence for you or against you (Muslim).

CLASS NOTES
The more a person recites the Qur’an, the more a person
will be able to understand it and ponder about it.
The Quran can be an evidence against the person if they abandon it.
If the person reads the Quran and does not act upon it,
then the Quran would work against them.
It should be an inherent part of a routine to recite the Quran.

COMMENTARY
— The Qur'an will be “evidence” for one on the Day
of Judgment if he acts upon its commandments.
— Otherwise, it will be a proof against him.
— It is related from ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud that the Qur’an will appear on the Day of Judgment
and will intercede for the one who read it and will then guide him into Paradise.
— On the contrary, the Qur'an will bear witness against the
one who neglected it and will then drive him into the Hellfire.
— If a person acts upon the commandments in the Quran
by following its guidance, it will benefit him.
— If he does not follow it’s guidance then it will be against him.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The bell is the musical instrument of Shaytaan. (Muslim)

COMMENTARY
— This hadith comes from the idea that their ringing distracts
a person’s attention from the remembrance of Allah.
— The word ‫ َمزَا ِمي ُر‬has been used here in the plural
to relate to the constant ringing sound of a bell.
— Bells that are hung on animals are one of the musical instruments of Satan whereby he
distracts people from the purpose for which they were created.
— As for the bells used for alerting people such as the bells used in houses, schools and the like are
permissible unless they involve something prohibited, like being similar to church bells or producing a
musical sound in which case they would be prohibited.

HADITH NINETEENTH

ARABIC
: ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬ َ ‫َقال َ ال َّن ِب ُّي‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Women are the traps of Shaytaan.

CLASS NOTES
When a woman leaves her house, even if she is the most unattractive woman,
Shaytaan will make her look attractive to men outside.
This is similar to how a fisherman uses bait to catch fish.
Shaytaan beautifies everything that is haram in order to trap women.

COMMENTARY
— Men have been commanded to lower their gazes.
Women have been commanded to follow a modest dress code.
— These are safety measures for both sexes - if a man does not lower his gaze, the modest dress of
women will prevent him from realising any of his sinful behaviour and vice versa.
— Shaytan uses them to misguide men who are slaves to their desires.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The grateful eater is like the patient fasting person.

CLASS NOTES
The person who eats and drinks while thanking Allah,
his reward will be like the reward of a person who fasted and is patient.

COMMENTARY
- The one who eats is “thankful” in that he begins with
the Name of Allah and ends with praise of Him.
- The one who fasts is “patient” in that he abstains from doing anything that breaks the fast.
- The point of similarity between the two is that both acts are deserving of reward,
even though the reward of the fasting person is surely greater.
- The status of a person who eats and is grateful is
the same as a person who is patient while he fasts.
- Eating is an action and fasting is self-control.
- The one who eats food comes to His Lord with gratitude.
- The one who fasts and abstains from food comes to Him with patience.
- The bare minimum of gratitude is that he mentions Allah’s name
when he begins eating and praises Him when he finishes.
- The bare minimum of patience is that he stops
himself from the things which would invalidate his fast.

HADITH TWENTY ONE

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Moderation in spending is half of one’s livelihood.
Moderation in spending is half of [one’s] sustenance

CLASS NOTES
A person should be moderate in everything they do.
They should not spend on unnecessary things.
A person will be held accountable for everything they have.
Moderation is to think about spending carefully.

COMMENTARY
- “Moderation in spending...” is best understood by the verse of the Qur'an:
“Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not miserly,
but hold a just balance between the two” (Qur'an 25:67).
- What one spends his wealth on provides half the answer of the stability in one’s livelihood.
- The Quran has called the Muslims a middle nation.
- Islam encourages the principle of moderation in every walk of life.
- A person should not be stingy with spending nor should he be extravagant with spending.
- Stinginess is one who does not spend on himself and his family according to his means.
- He does not spend on any charitable purpose.
- Extravagance is spending wealth on unlawful things such as gambling and
drinking or excessive spending on lawful things that is beyond one’s means.
- If people are moderate, they will never be dependent on others.
- Over spending more than one’s income leads to
debt which brings disgrace, worry and frustration.

HADITH TWENTY TWO

ARABIC
: ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫َقال َ ال َّن ِب ُّي‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬

‫ف ا ْل َعق ِل‬ ْ ‫اس ن‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Friendliness towards people is half one’s intelligence.

CLASS NOTES
If a person is friendly to people then people will be friendly back.
A person should not expect anything back from others.
If a person is truly intelligent then the person would know the importance of friendships.
Friendliness represents our deen.
Friendliness benefits the Dunya and Aakhirah as a person will be rewarded.

COMMENTARY
- “Friendliness toward people...” means that a person's intelligence is perfected through interaction with
others in that the collaboration of two minds is better than one.
- If one is friendly to people there will be greater collaboration
and harmony between them, one would learn from people who he is
collaborating with and the chances of success are greatly increased.

HADITH TWENTY THREE

ARABIC
: ‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫َقال َ ال َّن ِب ُّي‬

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
One who repents from sin is like one who has no sin.

COMMENTARY
- This hadith refers to one who repents sincerely.
- The similarity between the two people is in terms of accountability.
- Just as the person who did not commit any sins does not have to give account, the one
who has repented will no longer have to give account for the sins he repented from.
- As for who is the better of the two, there is a difference of opinion among the scholars.
- The superior view, according to Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari, is in favour of the one
who did not sin at all, since his state is closer to that of the prophets and angels.
- If a person commits a sin, then repents sincerely from it,
gives it up, regrets having done it, prays for forgiveness and does not go back to it,
Allah will accept his repentance and treat him like one who did not sin.
- He will turn his bad deeds into good deeds, and He will love him and make him one of His pious slaves,
because he repented to his Lord, turned to Him because of his love for Allah, his keenness to please Him,
and his fear of Him and these are the characteristics of the pious.

َ ) said:
The intelligent one is whoever controls his desire
and he works for what comes after death and the
weak is the one who follows his desire and he hopes on Allah.

COMMENTARY
- The intelligent one is the one who realises the reality of this world as being temporary.
- He understands that death is approaching and realises the weakness of his nafs.
- He is aware of the traps of Shaytan and he regularly engages in self evaluation.
- He fears Allah and works on getting close to Him.
- The weak one is the one who follows the desires of this world.
- He expects Allah to forgive him without striving towards any good.
- After sinning so much, he feels he will be forgiven without actually striving for goodness.

َ ) said:
The believer is one who is sociable with others and there is no good in one who is not
sociable with others nor in one who is not met sociably by them.

COMMENTARY
- This hadith shows the importance of socialisation
among Muslims in order to form bonds of unity.
- Meeting with others in a sociable manner encourages others to do the same.
- It causes within the community feelings of love and warmth.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Songs grow hypocrisy in the heart just like water grows crops.
[Songs make hypocrisy grow in the heart just as water makes crops grow.]

COMMENTARY
- Some sins have an effect of leading a person onto sin further.
- Where there is music, there is generally dancing, intermingling, women, intoxicants and zina.
- Abundant sinning without repentance can eventually lead one out of the fold of Islam.
- Therefore, the more one engages in music, the closer he gets to hypocrisy.
- Singing has specific characteristics that affect the heart, instilling hypocrisy
in the heart and causing it to grow, just as water causes plants to grow.
- Music changes the mind and it puts a person into a different mood.
- It creates an effect on the heart and shaytaan uses this tool to attract us into haram.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Traders will be gathered on the day of Judgement as transgressors except the one
who fears Allah and is righteous and truthful.

COMMENTARY
- Traders can often be deceitful and dishonest in promoting their merchandise.
- Therefore, prophet Muhammad warned them that they would be raised as transgressors.
- He then excluded those who fear Allah in their dealings and speak the truth.
- He said that they would be blessed with the company of the prophets.
- Traders include all types of business men and brokers.
- Scholars mention that the word ‘trader’ should be taken in a more general meaning
whereby everybody involved in any sort of transaction would fall in this category.
- If you sell products or services, directly to the
consumer or indirectly this hadith would apply to you.
- For example, doctors are transgressors if they are not honest with their patients.
- Engineers are transgressors if they are not honest about the status of their projects.
- Salesmen are transgressors if they are not honest about their product.
- Anybody who gets a full salary but slacks off at work is a transgressor.
- According to a hadith about marketplaces:
Abu Huraira (RA) reported: Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ said,
“The most beloved of places to Allah are the mosques,
and the most hated places to Allah are the markets.”
- Market places are places of deception, greed, lies
and unfair treatment and therefore are hated by Allah.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
A truthful and trustworthy trader will be with
the prophets, the truthful and the martyrs.

COMMENTARY
- This hadith shows the great excellence of a merchant who possesses these qualities.
- He will be honoured with a high position by him being with the Prophets,
the honest men, and the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection.
- The meaning of honesty and trustworthiness in trading is giving the information regarding
the occurring trade and an explanation about the fault of the traded merchandise if it has any.
- This attitude is what brings blessing and goodness in trading,
as the saying of Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ :
“If they (sellers and buyers) are honest and they explain
(the condition of merchandise or the payment), then Allah will bless them both
in that transaction. But if they lie and conceal (it), then it will lose its blessings.”

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks he lies, when he makes a promise
he breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays the trust.

COMMENTARY
- Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬
َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ taught us
that a hypocrite can be identified by three signs.
- Firstly, they are known to lie when they speak.
- Secondly, they make promises but do not keep them.
- Lastly, if someone trusts them with something important then they will betray that trust.
- These traits are the opposite of what a true believer should have.
- A true believer has honesty in speech and action and is trustworthy and reliable in all matters. - It is
important to remember these teachings so that we can identify hypocrites
in our lives and avoid associating with them or taking their advice seriously.
- You should be honest in speech and action.
- You should be trustworthy and reliable in all matters.
- You should avoid associating with hypocrites or taking their advice seriously.
- You should avoid lying, breaking promises and betraying trust.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The major sins are worshipping others besides Allah,
disobeying parents, killing a soul and a false oath.

COMMENTARY
- The first major sin is "associating partners with Allah".
- This is the disbelief in Allah such that a person worships
others along with Him and denies the worship of his Lord alone.
- The second is disobeying your parents.
- This is to disobey one or both parents by disrespecting them, cursing them, and
failing to attend to them and take care of them when they are in need of their child.
- The second is killing a soul.
- This is to kill without a right such as killing someone out of injustice or aggression.
- If the person deserves to be killed then this is not included in the meaning of this Hadīth.
- The fourth is taking a false oath.
- This is to take a false oath intentionally.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
Righteousness is good character and sin is what causes uneasiness in your heart and
what you dislike people to become aware of.

- Dealing with others in a good way is essential to good manners.

- There are 3 dimensions to manners.
- With Allah: By fulfilling His right to be worshipped.
- With humans and the environment: By being good to them and not harming them.
- With yourself: By not hurting yourself physically or mentally.
- Good manners are not just with actions but are in the inner self and being in a good state.
- The purpose of the heart is to differentiate right from wrong, so we should constantly purify it. - Being
righteous is linked to having good manners so it is important to
perfect your manners so that you may be from the righteous.
- Righteousness, as mentioned in the second Hadīth, could be defined as whatever one’s
soul feels at ease with and it usually feels at ease with good deeds and sayings.
- On the other hand, sinfulness is whatever one’s soul feels uneasy with.
- It is like recurring doubt in the heart that one should avoid
out of piety and for fear of committing what is prohibited.
- Piety is leaving them all and going only for what one’s heart feels relaxed with.
- Whatever one’s heart feels uneasy with is sinful, even if people say otherwise.

Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬

َ ) said:
All created beings are Allah’s dependants and the most beloved of creation to Allah is
the one who is good to his dependants.

COMMENTARY
- This hadith encourages kindness to all of God’s creation.
- Kindness involves trying to understand others rather
than believing everything we hear about them.
- Muslims should be kind to people of other faiths
because they are also part of Allah’s creation.
- The hadith applies to both human as well as non-human beings, including animals,
plants and the natural environment, all of which are also creatures of God.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
A true Muslim is the one who avoids
harming Muslims with his tongue and hands.
And a true believer is he whom people trust with their lives and possessions. And a
true warrior is one who exerts himself in obedience to Allah.
And a true emigrant is he who abandons all wrongs and sins.

COMMENTARY
- A Muslim is someone who does not harm other Muslims with their words or actions.
- A Muhajir is someone who stops himself from doing what Allah has forbidden.
- The Muslim is the one from whose tongue the Muslims are safe, so he does not insult, curse,
or backbite them, nor does he seek to sow any type of evil or corruption among them.
- They are safe from his hand, so he does not assault them,
take their property without right, or do anything of that nature.
- The Muhājir, in other words, the real emigrant is
the one who gives up what Allah has forbidden.

- The one who claims something must prove it.
- The one who denies what he is accused of must take an oath of denial.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ ) said:
A believer is a mirror for a believer and a believer
is the brother of a believer, he safeguards him from
destruction and protects him in his absence. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud)
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬ َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ ) said:
“A believer is the mirror of his brother. A believer is the
brother of another believer. He protects him against
loss and defends him behind his back. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud)

COMMENTARY
- You need to become someone who keeps good company.
- The company that you keep will transform who you are.
- Just as by looking at a mirror, one sees all the spots and blemishes on their face.
- In the same way, a Muslim must perfect their actions,
behaviour and manners in such a way that by looking at them.
- Just as a person recognises their faults by looking at a mirror,
in the same way, a Muslim should be such that by looking at their qualities,
others become mindful of their own weaknesses.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ ) said:
Believers are like a single person; if his eye is in pain his whole
body pain and if his head is in pain his whole body pains. (Muslim)
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ ) said:
Believers are like one body of a person; if the eye is sore, the whole body aches,
and if the head aches, the whole body aches. (Muslim)

COMMENTARY
- Islam teaches that all believers are one body and when one
part of the body is hurting, then the entire body is hurting.
- The Muslim ummah is described as one unit, existing in the world in one form.
- It explains that like one body, Muslims should be striving to take care of any
particular group of Muslims in the world who are struggling or suffering in any way.
- Muslims who are experiencing times of ease should not just feel empathy with those going through
hardship, they should actually feel the pain as if they themselves were suffering from it.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ said:
Travel is a piece of torment. It prevents one of you from
eating, drinking, and sleeping. When he has finished
his purpose, let him hasten back to his family. (Bukhari, Muslim)
Prophet Muhammad ‫س َّل َم‬َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬َ said:
Travelling is a form of punishment. It deprives a person
of his food, drink and sleep. When he finishes his task,
he should hurry back to his family. (Bukhari, Muslim)

COMMENTARY
- Torment is the pain resulting from hardship involved
in riding, walking and leaving behind one's habitual lifestyle.
- Travel stops one from enjoying the pleasures of life perfectly due to the hardship, suffering from heat
and cold, fear, separation from family and friends, and rough living conditions.
- That is because a traveller is usually worried, does not eat or drink his
normal food and drink as in ordinary times, and likewise is the sleep.
- So, if this is the case, then one should return to a comfortable life to
his family and country so that he could look after his family and discipline them.

The return from battle is like the battle itself.
Returning from a battle is like going to a battle.

COMMENTARY
— The Hadith shows the grace and favour of Allah
upon His servants when they perform acts of worship.
— Just as they are rewarded for going out to do acts of worship, they are
also rewarded when they return home after having performed them.
— Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad ‫سلَّ َم‬َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ said that the one who returns from a battle is like
the one who is going out to a battle; they both receive the same reward.
— This is similar to the case of the person walking to the mosque.
— He receives a reward for walking to the mosque and a reward for returning home from it.

َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬

Delay in the repayment of debt by a wealthy person is a form of injustice.

COMMENTARY
— Debt is a serious matter in Islam.
— It is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly or neglected.
— Islam does not prohibit debt; it recognises the fact that
people may face circumstances that necessitate borrowing.
— However, it emphasises caution, responsibility, and most
importantly, the intention and effort to repay the debt on time.
— Paying off debt is a virtue and a means of attaining Allah's reward and forgiveness.
— It is a way of fulfilling one's duty and honouring one's trust.
— It is also a way of expressing gratitude and kindness
to the creditor who helped the debtor in his time of need.

COMMENTARY
— When we are in the presence of the ones we love
it is as if we forget the world and everything in it.
— When your love for something is so extreme it
makes it difficult to see its faults and even its dangers.
— It deafens you and stops you from hearing any criticism regarding it.

understanding, analyse God’s creation and think and reflect on the universe and our existence.
- Seeking knowledge is a means of attaining closeness to Allah in Islam.
- Muslims are encouraged to reflect on the signs of Allah in the universe
and to use their intellect to explore and understand His creation.

Allah’s creation and enables recognition and appreciation of his greatness.

these two properties of learning and teaching the Qur’an.

- Such learning and teaching include both the words and meaning.
- Memorising the Qur’an and teaching people how to
recite and memorise the Qur’an is included in teaching.

Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The most virtuous jihad is when one speaks
a word of truth before an unjust ruler.

COMMENTARY
- Jihad comes from the verb jahada - to strive.
- In Islam, it is to fight in the path of Allah.
- When doing this we are establishing injustice and fighting against injustice.
- The biggest form of jihad is to establish Tawhid under justice.
- Being someone who speaks the just truth to an oppressive
leader is risking their life so this is the greatest Jihaad.
- Once there was a young boy who was sent to learn magic.
- On his way, he saw a religious monk and the boy liked what the monk would say.
- He was late to the magician everyday because he would talk to the monk.
- One day there was a lion that was about to attack him.
- He said bismillah and the lion went away.
- From then on, he decided to go on the path of Islam.
- He healed a man from the king’s court from blindness.
- When the king heard about this, he felt threatened.
- When the king asked him who is god, the boy told him all about Allah
- The king became angry and ordered his soldiers to throw him off a cliff.
- The boy started making dua whilst climbing up.
- However the cliff crumbled and the soldiers fell but the boy survived.
- The king then told his men to throw him into the sea.
- While doing this the soldiers that were on the ship sank and they died.
- The king asked him what would kill him.
- The boy replied ‘if you say bismillah and shoot with an arrow.
- It worked and the boy passed away.
- But through this, the people that saw this became Muslim even though he had a sad ending,
- In Shariah, you should obey your leader however if they do
something against Islam you must speak the truth.
- You should always establish the truth wherever you go
and in that way the people around you can improve.

One jurist is more severer on the Shaytaan than 1000 worshippers.

COMMENTARY.
- A jurist is a person of understanding and knowledge.
- A jurist acts upon this knowledge.
- An aabid is a general worshipper and he does actions.
- The person of understanding is harder to get to than 1000 worshippers.
- The reason is because the jurist knows how Shaytaan works.
- If a person was praying and then Shaytaan comes and says you are praying
just to show off, the aabid would stop as he has pride in his heart.
- Even though there is goodness in jurists and worshippers, there is a warning for the jurist.
- A person with knowledge, the Shaytaan can use the knowledge against them.
- For example as a child, you know the numbers of the prayers, but as one turns old they
learn what nafl is and different prayer numbers, one turns lazy and doesn’t pray them at all.
- A worshipper isn’t lower than a jurist.
- Imam Malik would close his books in Ramadan and won’t teach, he would just be a worshipper. - Abu
Hanifa would pray nafl if he was trying to figure out a mas’alah when it didn’t come to him. - Shaytaan
wants to put you down throughout this pathway.
- He will try everything to push you away.

an easy matter for him to whom Allah Almighty makes it easy.
(It is) that you worship Allah without associating anything with Him,
that you perform the prayers, that you pay the zakat, that you fast during Ramadhan,
and that you make the pilgrimage to the House.”
- Then he said:
- “Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield; charity
extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire; and a man’s prayer in the middle of the night.”
- Then he recited: [Al-Sajdah, 32:16-17]
- Then he said: “Shall I not also tell you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and its topmost part?”
- I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.”
- He said: “The head of the matter is Islam (submission to Allah),
the pillar is prayer; and its topmost part is jihad.”
- Then he said: “And shall I not tell you of the basis of all that ?”
- I said:” Yes, O Messenger of Allah”.
- So he took hold of his tongue and said: “Restrain this.”
- I said: “O Prophet of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?”
- He said: ‘May your mother not find you, O Mu’adh!
Are people thrown onto their faces in Hell for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?’”

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The example of knowledge which no benefit is taken from is the
example of treasure which is not spent in the way of Allah.

COMMENTARY
- If the knowledge is beneficial and if one doesn’t act upon it, then it is not beneficial.
- For example, it is sunnah to read Ayatul Kursi after every Salah
and if one doesn’t do this then the knowledge is not beneficial for them.
- Knowledge is one of the greatest blessings.
- One will be accountable for knowledge that they have learnt and have not acted upon.
- One should always have the intention that they are doing it for the sake of Allah.
- One should advise other people too.
- When one has something really special, they keep it and
take care over it so this should be the same with knowledge.
- One should look after knowledge and they should not abandon it.
- When one graduates as a scholar, they should not let their books
collect dust and their level of faith should be increased by the end.
- If one has understanding of deen, they shouldn’t just benefit
themselves but they should benefit others around them.

- One should always smile at people as one doesn’t know what that particular person is going through.
- One should smile at everyone regardless of what religion
they follow as it could lead to them inclining towards Islam.
- Whenever one sees another Muslim smiling they should say the dua:
ِّ ‫ َأضْ َح َك هللاُ ال‬- May Allah keep you smiling.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
And indeed lying is immorality and indeed immorality leads to hell.

COMMENTARY
- Lying is among the sins of the tongue.
- Lying is to utter false information while knowing what one is saying is not the truth.
- Once a man came to Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ).
- He said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?”
- Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) pbuh said:
“Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.”
- The man promised to do so and went home.
- At night the man was about to go out to steal.
- Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise
he made with Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ).
- He said to himself:
“If tomorrow Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) asks me where have I been, what shall I say?
Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie.
If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing.”
- So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit of stealing.
- Next day, he felt like drinking alcohol, when he was about to do so, he said to himself: “What shall I
say to Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) if he asks me
what did I do during the day? I cannot tell a lie, and if I speak the truth
people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink alcohol.”
- So he gave up the idea of drinking alcohol.
- In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad,
he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times.
- One by one he gave up all his bad habits and became a very good Muslim and a very good person.

when we are not getting closer to the religion ourselves.

COMMENTARY
- This Hadith is talking about when people give more concern
to decorating the masjid instead of the actual worship.
- During the time of Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬
َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬

were simple and made of date palms and one could tell that they were places of worship.
- This Hadith doesn’t say that decoration is not allowed,
rather it says that it shouldn’t take one away from Allah.
- It is disliked as it could be a waste of money.

TRANSLATION
Prophet Muhammad (‫س َّل َم‬
َ ‫ص َّلى هلّلا ُ َع َل ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) said:
The angels don’t accompany a group in which there is a dog and a bell.

COMMENTARY
- If a group of people set out for a journey and they have a dog or a bell with them,
then the angels of mercy and seeking forgiveness will not accompany them on their journey.
- That is because a dog is impure and as for a bell, it is one of the musical instruments
َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
of Satan, as the Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ) has informed us.
- Some scholars have restricted the prohibition to the bell that is hung on animals' necks,
as it produces a melodious sound that impresses the people and causes them to find pleasure in hearing it. - For
this reason, the Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬َ ) called the bell the musical instrument of Satan. - As for the alarm
sound in watches or clocks and the like, they are not included in this prohibition,
because they are not hung on animals, and are only made to ring at specific times.
- The same applies to doorbells which are used for seeking permission to enter.
- There is no problem with these bells and they are not prohibited,
because they are not hung on animals, or whatever is like animals, and there is no pleasure
in hearing them, for which the Prophet Muhammad (‫سلَّ َم‬ َ ‫صلَّى هلّلا ُ َعلَ ْي ِه َو‬
َ ) has prohibited it.
