SHARH OF THE 40 HADEETH OF IMAM AN NAWAWI: HADEETH NUMBER 7
''HOW TO BE SINCERE TO ALLAH''
07-10-2012
(Night Dars)
HADITH 7:
عن أبي رقية تميم بن أوس الداري رضي الله تعالى
عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال الدين النصيحة.قلنا: لمن؟ قال لله،
ولكتابه، ولرسوله، ولأئمة المسلمين وعامتهم .رواه مسلم.
On the authority of Tameem ibn Aus ad-Daree (RA): The
Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The deen (religion) is naseehah
(advice, sincerity)." We said "To whom?" He (ﷺ) said "To Allah, His
Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common
folk." (Related by Muslim)
This is a hadeeth of Tameem Ad-Daree
WHO IS HE?
-he is called the Palestinian sahabi because he was from Palestine
-he came to Madina in the 9th year of hijra
-this was the same year hajj was made compulsory
-he embraced Islam upon meeting the rasul (ﷺ)
-he was a Christian monk
-the rasul (ﷺ) loved him so much that he made him one of his advisors
He was travelling one day and ended up in an island
-where he met the dajjaal
-he told him that he'll break lose one day but can't enter Makkah
He was also loved by Umar (r.a)
-he was a scholar of Quran also and
-Umar chose him to be an imam during taraweeh salah
He left for Palestine during the khilafah of Uthman (r.a)
-he was also a story teller
This hadith is about sincerity
-the opposite of this is fake
-like you have in fake notes
-some Muslims are fake as well as hypocrites
Verily, the hyprocrites will be in the lowest
depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them. (An-Nisa 4:145)
There are many signs of hypocrisy
-but the most prominent are four
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone has
four characteristics, he is a pure hypocrite, and if anyone has one of them, he
has an aspect of hypocrisy until he gives it up: whenever he is trusted, he
betrays his trust; whenever he speaks, he lies; when he makes an agreement, he
breaks it; and when he quarrels, he deviates from the truth by speaking
falsely." [al-Bukhari (34) and Muslim (58)]
Only with sincerity you can go to paradise
-you need to be sincere to Allah, the rasul (saw) and the Muslims
14 conditions have to be fulfilled in order to be sincere to Allah
-else you are a munafiq
1. TO BELIEVE THAT ALLAH EXISTS WITHOUT HAVING DOUBT THAT HE EXIST
In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and
hypocrisy) and Allāh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs
because they used to tell lies. (Al-Baqarah 2:10)
Those who doubt have a disease in their hearts
-it is haram for a Muslim woman to marry a man who has doubts in his heart
-about Allah and His rasul (ﷺ)
Only those are the believers who have believed
in Allāh and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their
wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allāh. Those! They are the truthful.
(Al-Hujurat 49:15)
2. TO BELIEVE THAT ALLAH IS THE ONLY CREATOR
-therefore Allah is Al-Khaliq
-this concept is called Tauheed Al-Rububiyya
-the Christians and the mu’tazilites went astray in this aspect of tauheed
-the Christians believe that Jesus helped Allah in creating man
-the mu’tazilites believe that man creates his action
"While Allāh has created you and what you
make!" (As-Saffat 37:96)
The NOI (nation of Islam) also went astray in this regard
-they believe the white man is the devil who was created by a mad scientist
called Jacob
MAD SCIENTIST YAKUB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
To believe that there is a creator besides Allah is shirk
And (remember) when your Lord said to the
angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after
generations on earth." .. (Al-Baqarah 2:30)
-Louis Farrakhan went astray in this regards
-the greatest scientist can't even create a house-fly
O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so
listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allāh, cannot
create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if
the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it
from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought. (Al-Hajj 22:73)
All these people who believe that there are creators besides Allah
-are crazy and will abide in hellfire forever if they die in that state
3. TO BELIEVE IN HIS 99 NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES
Kenyan cleric 'with al-Shabab links' killed:
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2012/08/201282713161688107.html
You need to believe in His 99 names without rejection
-you should not say Allah has a body but you should say His Person
-There is nothing like Him (see surah Ikhlas)
Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He
is Allāh, (the) One. (Al-Ikhlas 112:1)
Allāh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither
eats nor drinks). (Al-Ikhlas 112:2)
"He begets not, nor was He begotten; (Al-Ikhlas 112:3)
"And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Al-Ikhlas
112:4)
Narrated By Abu Said Al-Khudri: A man heard another
man reciting (Surat-Al-Ikhlas) 'Say He is Allah, (the) One.' (112. 1)
repeatedly. The next morning he came to Allah's Apostle and informed him about
it as if he thought that it was not enough to recite. On that Allah's Apostle
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this Surah is equal to one-third
of the Qur'an!" [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 6, Book 61, Hadith #533]
If you make Allah similar to His creation you become a kaafir
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the
All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ash-Shura 42:11)
-when a baby is in the womb, it hears before it sees
-therefore you are not mujasima (believing He has a body)
You do not reject any of His 99 names and attributes
-Allah is a name and is called Al Ism Al Adham
Also you are not Mufawwida who refuse to take a stance
-always saying "Allah knows best"
Ibn Taymiyya debated them and they confirmed that Allah's 99 names are
beautiful
-he asked them how they knew that if they didn't believe in them
You also don't believe in Takyeef (howness)
-a person asked this to Imam Malik and was kicked out of the study circle
Ja'far Ibn Abdullah narrated: We were with Malik
Ibn Anas when a man came to him and said: “O Abu Abdullah (Allah said)
'Ar-Rahman upon the Throne Istawa' (20:5), how was His Istiwa? Imam Malik
inclined his head and was silent until the sweat of fever covered his brow,
then he looked up and said: "Istiwa is not unknown, the Kayf (how) is
uncomprehendable, believing in it is wajib (obligatory), and asking about it is
bid'ah (innovation), and I do not think that you are anything but an
innovator." Then he ordered that the man be expelled. [Abu-Naeem
Al-Asbahani in 'Hilyatul-Awliya wa Tabaqat Al-Asfiya' (Vol. 6, pg. 325-326)]
To believe in His 99 names is called Tauheed Asma wa Sifaat
4. TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE ONLY LAW GIVER
Say: "Allāh knows best how long they stayed.
With Him is (the knowledge of) the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How
clearly He sees, and hears (everything)! They have no Walī (Helper, Disposer of
affairs, Protector, etc.) other than Him, and He makes none to share in His
Decision and His Rule." (Al-Kahf 18:26)
The Muslim is the only one who believes in the Tauheed
-the rest of the world went astray
Or even do they have associates (with Allah) who
have legislated for them as the religion that which Allah has not given
permission? And had it not been for the Word of Verdict, indeed it would have
been decreed between them, and surely the unjust will have a painful torment.
(Ash-Shura 42:21) [Dr Ghalli Translation]
[Say (O Muhammad SAW)] "Shall I seek a judge other than Allāh while it is
He Who has sent down unto you the Book (The Qur'ān), explained in detail."
Those unto whom We gave the Scripture [the Taurāt (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)] know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth. So be not you of
those who doubt. (Al-An'am 6:114)
While 'Allama al-Shinqiti-May Allah be merciful
with him-has said: To commit shirk with Allah in judging is of the same meaning
as to commit shirk in His worship, there is no difference between the two in
any manner. There is no difference in any sense between he who follows a system
(nizam) other than Allah's system or law other than Allah's law (sharia) and he
who worships an idol or prostrates to a false god. They are the same and both
are polytheists [associating others] with Allah. [Adwa' al-Bayan, (7/162)]
Muhammad Ibrahim [the shaikh of bin Baaz] said in page 6 of his book Tahkeem al
Qawaneen: "Tawheed haakimiyya is the twin half of tawheed Ibaada."
5. TO BELIEVE THAT HE ALONE DESERVES TO BE WORSHIPPED (TAUHEED IBAADAT)
Verily, Allāh forgives not that partners should be
set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom
He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allāh in worship, he has indeed
invented a tremendous sin. (An-Nisa 4:48)
The four tauheed are in surah Fatiha
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the
Most Merciful (Al-Fatihah 1:1)
All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns
and all that exists). (Al-Fatihah 1:2)
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. (Al-Fatihah 1:3)
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the
Day of Resurrection). (Al-Fatihah 1:4)
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and
everything). (Al-Fatihah 1:5)
-prophet Yusuf (a.s) also taught the four tauheed to his inmates in the prison
"O two companions of the prison! Are many
different lords (gods) better or Allah, the One, the Irresistible? (Yusuf
12:39)
"You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named
(forged), you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The
command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you
worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism), that is the (true) straight
religion, but most men know not. (Yusuf 12:40)
6. TO SPEND YOUR WEALTH FOR HIS SAKE
O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of)
Allāh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm. (Muhammad 47:7)
By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc., it means here
Allāh's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that
which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allāh knows it well. (Aali
Imran 3:92)
Helping Allah doesn't mean He is needy
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would
say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I was sick but you did not visit
Me. He would say: O my Lord; how could I visit Thee whereas Thou art the Lord
of the worlds? Thereupon He would say: Didn't you know that such and such
servant of Mine was sick but you did not visit him and were you not aware of
this that if you had visited him, you would have found Me by him? O son of
Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me. He would say: My Lord, how
could I feed Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He said: Didn't you
know that such and such servant of Mine asked food from you but you did not
feed him, and were you not aware that if you had fed him you would have found
him by My side? (The Lord would again say) O son of Adam, I asked drink from
you but you did not provide Me. He would say: My Lord, how could I provide Thee
whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds?
Thereupon He would say: Such and such of servant of Mine asked you for a drink
but you did not provide him, and had you provided him drink you would have
found him near Me. [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith #6232]
-but you should spend on the deen
-you should spend on the mujahideen and the orphans
-don't be bakheel (tight fisted)
And nothing prevents their contributions from
being accepted from them except that they disbelieved in Allāh and in His
Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ); and that they came not
to As-Salāt (the prayer) except in a lazy state; and that they offer not
contributions but unwillingly. (At-Tawbah 9:54)
The munafiqeen can't spend fisabilillah (9:54)
-they hate to spend fisabilillah
7. TO LOVE AND HATE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH (AL WALAA WAL BARAA)
You should do self- analysis, whether you have a friend who is an enemy of
Islam or not
-you should not take munafiqs as friends
Allah's enemies are automatically your enemies (60:1)
O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies
(i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.) as friends, showing affection towards
them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth (i.e.
Islamic Monotheism, this Qur'an, and Muhammad SAW), and have driven out the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and yourselves (from your homeland) because you
believe in Allah your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to
seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc.,
as your friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware
of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does
that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:1)
Indeed there has been an excellent example for you
in Ibrahim (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people:
"Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah, we
have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and
hatred for ever, until you believe in Allah Alone," except the saying of
Ibrahim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from
Allah) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allah."
Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in
repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return, (Al-Mumtahinah 60:4)
You (O Muhammad ﷺ) will not find any people
who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose
Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ), even though they were
their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For
such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh
(proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens
(Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is
pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily, it
is the Party of Allah that will be the successful. (Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
8. TO MAKE HAJJ TO THE HOUSE OF ALLAH ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME
In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqam
(place) of Ibrahim (Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains security. And
Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes
to Allah, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision
and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to
Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah stands not in need of
any of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). (Aali Imran 3:97)
This is a debt we owe Allah
Ali (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “He who possess
enough food for the trip, a means of transportation to reach to Makkah, and yet
does not perform Hajj, then he dies, he would then die as a Jew or a
Christian...” [Sunan Tirmidhi (3/176) No. 812, Bayhaqi in 'Shu'ab al-Iman'
(5/443) No. 3692, Musnad al-Bazzaar (3/87-88) No. 861]
-the one who dies without making hajj or makes no intention to do so
-dies the death of a Jew or Christian
9. TO DO DAWAH AND ENJOIN THE RIGHT AND FORBID THE WRONG
Let there arise out of you a group of people
inviting to all that is good (Islām), enjoining Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islāmic
Monotheism and all that Islām orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar
(polytheism and disbelief and all that Islām has forbidden). And it is they who
are the successful. (Aali Imran 3:104)
On the authority of Abu Umar who said: Allah sent
two angels to destroy a township with a natural disaster, but when they got
there they found a man praying in the mosque. They went back to Allah and said:
'O Allah we found a man praying in the mosque.' Allah said to the two angels:
'Go back and destroy the township with that man as well because not once did he
ever frown when he saw the people indulging in haram.' [Ibnul Qayyim, al-Jawaab
al-Kaafi (Vol. 1, pg. 46)]
The only time you are supposed to give da’wah is if the person shows interest
-else you are wasting your time
-and throwing pearls to the swine
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder
profits (them). (Al-A'la 87:9)
Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islām) with
wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'ān) and fair preaching,
and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who
has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are
guided. (An-Nahl 16:125)
10. TO SURRENDER TO ALLAH
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islām (by
obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islāmic religion) and follow not
the footsteps of Shaitān (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy
(Al-Baqarah 2:208)
-you abandon your desires and follow His commandments
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when
Allāh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option
in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger, he has indeed
strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)
-you are not allowed to be self- opinionated
-you can't have one foot in Islam and one foot in kufr
11. TO HAVE SABR WHENEVER A CALAMITY BEFALLS YOU
And certainly, We shall test you with something of
fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to
As-Sābirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:155)
Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allāh we belong and
truly, to Him we shall return." (Al-Baqarah 2:156)
Loss of life means your loved ones will die
-but the true believers will have sabr
And among mankind is he who worships Allāh as it
were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content
therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts
back to disbelief after embracing Islām). He loses both this world and the
Hereafter. That is the evident loss. (Al-Hajj 22:11)
Some people worship Allah on the edge
-the munafiq has no sabr
Do people think that they will be left alone
because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested. (Al-'Ankabut
29:2)
And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allāh will certainly make
(it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it)
known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allāh knows all that before
putting them to test). (Al-'Ankabut 29:3)
Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to
those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and
ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed
along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allāh?" Yes!
Certainly, the Help of Allāh is near! (Al-Baqarah 2:214)
So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,
(Ash-Sharh 94:5)
Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two
reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). (Ash-Sharh 94:6)
12. TO MAKE HIJRAH FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH
-don't stay in darul harb and be humiliated
-it is better to live in a Muslim country (biladul Muslimeen)
See what they are doing to Babar Ahmad, Abu Hamza etc.
-these kuffaar are human devils
-the arm pit of humanity
-there is no honour in living in the west
On the authority of Jarir bin 'Abdullah that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a military
expedition to Khath'am. So some people (living there) sought safety by
prostrating, but they were met quickly and killed. News of this reached the
Prophet (ﷺ) upon which he commanded that they be given half
of the 'Aql (blood money). And he said: "I am free from every Muslim that
lives among the idolaters." They said: "O Messenger of Allah: How is
that?" He said: "They should not see each other's campfires."
[Sunan Tirmidhi (4/155) No. 1604 and Sunan Abu Dawud (3/45) No. 2645]
It was narrated from Samurah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do not live among
the mushrikeen and do not mix with them, for whoever lives among them or mixes
with them is not one of us.” [al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (9/240) No. 18420
and Mustadrak al-Haakim (2/154) No. 2627. adh-Dhahabi graded this on the
conditions of Bukhari and Muslim]
The programme was also at the centre of a controversy when American cleric
and conservative pundit Jerry Falwell claimed in 1999 that Tinky Winky, one of
the Teletubbies, was a homosexual role model for children. Falwell based this
conclusion on the character's purple colour and triangular antenna; both the
colour purple and the triangle are sometimes used as symbols of the Gay Pride
movement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletubbies
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in
death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the
disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say
(to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were
weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth
of Allāh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find
their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! (An-Nisa 4:97)
13. YOU NEED TO REJECT THE TAGHOOT
Taghoot means false deities or an icon for a false religion
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allāh,
and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Tāghût (Satan, etc.). So fight
you against the friends of Shaitān (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of
Shaitān (Satan). (An-Nisa 4:76)
-it also means the kaafir army
-it also means the kaafir constitution
-believing in Allah alone makes you no special
-Abu Jahl believed in Allah
-what makes you special is rejecting the taghoot and believing in Allah
Whoever disbelieves in Tāghût and believes in
Allāh, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break.
And Allāh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:256)
-believing in Allah alone is half of the shahada
-it is not enough!
-false prophets are also taghoot
A Berailvis from Birmingham died not fisabilillah but fisabili- Queen Elizabeth
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allāh,
and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Tāghût (Satan, etc.). So fight
you against the friends of Shaitān (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of
Shaitān (Satan). (An-Nisa 4:76)

14. TO DO JIHAD FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu
Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: One who died
but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or
determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite. [Sahih Muslim, Book 20,
Hadith 4696]
Jihād (holy fighting in Allāh's Cause) is ordained
for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing
which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allāh
knows but you do not know. (Al-Baqarah 2:216)
You need to wage jihad because even if you don't want to
-the kuffaar will bring it to your doorstep
Fight against them so that Allāh will punish
them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal
the breasts of a believing people, (At-Tawbah 9:14)
