The Roots of Downfall of Muslim Ummah

by Irshad Mahmood - PRESIDENT
Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre

Leaving Quraan and giving preference to others may be the real cause

Quraan is a light and to see a light, you don't need any other light

But to understand Hadeeth you really need Quraan

Quraan is the Book of Guidance

Quraan is full of Wisdom (Al_Quraan_036.002)

Quraan is Free from any Error or Contradictions and is Fully Protected by Allah

But Hadeeth is not Free from any Error or Contradictions and is Not Protected by Allah

Neither BLINDLY Reject all Hadeeths Nor BLINDLY Accept all Hadeeths

We MUST believe on Those Authentic Hadeeths, which don't contradict Quraan

Allah is One <---> Quraan is One <---> Siraat_ul_Mustaqeem is One
One Ummah <---> One Islaam <---> One Voice <---> One Worshipping Method

Duaa for Discussing the Critical Issues:

After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:

O Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If others are wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all of us. AMEEN.

"Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa". (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114 AMEEN.

"Rabbishrah Lee Sadree Wayassir Lee Amree Wahlul AAuqdatan Min Lisanee Yafqahoo Qawlee". (O my Lord! expand my breast; And ease my task for me; And loose the knot from my tongue; So they may understand what I say). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.025 – 028) AMEEN.

"Rabbana Hab Lana Min Azwajina Wathurriyyatina Qurrata aAAyunin WajjAAalna Lilmuttaqeena imamaan". (O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous). Ref: Al_Quraan_025.074. AMEEN.

May Allah open the eyes of Muslim Ummah from inside their heart, May Allah open the ears of Muslim Ummah from inside their heart, May Allah help Muslim Ummah to understand and practice Deen of Allah (ISLAAM) PRECISELY and PERFECTLY. AMEEN.

Let us not be like those who listen but actually listen not and read but actually read not. In reality, they don't want to understand. Allah has already named them as Blind, Deaf and Dumb (Al_Quraan_002.018). May Allah protect us from all kinds of Blindness, Deafness and Dumbness, AMEEN.

He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses - which constitute the essence of the scripture - as well as multiple-meaning or allegorical verses. Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the multiple-meaning verses to create confusion, and to extricate a certain meaning. NONE knows the TRUE MEANING thereof except Allah and those well founded in knowledge. They say, "We believe in this - all of it comes from our Lord." Only those who possess intelligence will take heed. (Al_Quraan_003.007)

We are NOT supposed to take Allegorical Ayaat, so just FOLLOW only the CLEAR Ayaat of the Quraan and BE CAREFUL from Allegorical Ayaat.

In the Quraan Allah has told us that "… This day have I perfected your Religion for you and completed My FAVOR unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL-ISLAAM". (Al_Quraan_005.003)

If anything is completed, does it NEED any Additions or Subtractions or Alterations? The absolute answer to this is only and only NO. Therefore any Hadeeth contradicting the Quraan, we are not supposed to accept and those are NOT Authentic Hadeeth. Since Rasool Allah (saw) already warned about the spreading of Hadeeth and how to verify them. So We all must have to follow that and a single proof should be enough for this that there are some Poor Hadeeth and we need to test all of them according to the Quraan. The Quraan is the real Authentic Source, FREE from and ERROR or CONTRADICTION.

How Ummah Diverted from the Quraan and Trapped in Conspiracy?

In the struggle for power and domination Quraan had been the biggest challenge to the Hypocrites. Although, they could not stop Muslims from obedience of the Quraan BUT they succeeded in giving them very wrong concepts about it. That was a great conspiracy which took them three centuries to establish false beliefs and practices among the Muslims. These beliefs and practices are now falsely included ino the Book of Hadeeth or Book of Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).

During the life time of the Prophet and his companion, it was impossible to say any thing against Quraan but after them there was no check. The Hypocrites had flooded the Muslims' world with LIES and fabrications against the Quraan. If anyone questioned that such and such belief or practice is against the Quraan the reply had always been, like today, that this is Sunnah of the Prophet. This way the Hypocrites took away the Quraan from Muslims and succeeded in inflicting upon them an ignominious life.

Now, what happens they read lot of Quraan but for Thawab only - not for guidance. They establish prayers but to worship God - not to combat Fohsha wal Munkarat. They pay regular charity but to purify the wealth - not for its circulation among all classes in the society. And, when you ask them why they are doing this ? Everyone will reply this is Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). And if asked who told this is Sunnah ? They will name anyone from among the Companions who lived during the first century - for example, Omer (ra) or Aisha (ra) reported this and that. When asked who told this ? They will name anyone from Taabe'heen or Tabb'a Taabe'heen who lived during the second century. When asked further they will ultimately confess that all this stuff came to us through Bukhari and other Mohaditheen who lived during the third century.

In other words, the Muslims are trapped in a great conspiracy. They are deceived to follow the path which is not found in Quraan. They think they are treading into the footsteps of the Prophet but, in fact, they are treading into the footsteps of Shaitaan. The interesting aspect of this conspiracy is that no one feel guilty. In spite of, all the sufferings and humiliations they are proud of what they are doing in the name of the Prophet and Islaam. No one likes to come out of this darkness. And, if any blessed soul endeavors to show them the right path they consider him an agent of the Enemy of Islaam. One wonders, what else the Enemy of Islaam want to do with the Muslims? They had already sent them to the bottom of hell.

The truth is that the real source of Muslims' unity and honor was Quraan. The Prophet (pbuh) and his great companions followed nothing except the Quraan. They never looked for guidance to any other historical or ideological source. They were solely inspired and motivated by the Quraan. When the Prophet (saw) was alive and his life was the perfect embodiment of Quraanic Values. After his (saw) death, Muslims kept treading in his footsteps and followed the Quraan with more zeal and devotion. Quraan elevated them to the highest level of morality and wisdom. They achieved great success and honor in the contemporary world and remained dominant as long as they followed the Quraan.

Following Clear Ayaat – or – Allegorical Ayaat:

We are NOT supposed to take Allegorical Ayaat, so just FOLLOW only the CLEAR Ayaat of the Quraan and BE CAREFUL from Allegorical Ayaat.

Making joke of Ayaat of Allah:

He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo ! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell; (Al_Quraan_004.140)

We are not supposed to even sit with those people who are making joke of Ayaat of Allah till they change the Topic.

Making joke of Others:

O you who believe! Let not men laugh at other men perchance they may be better than they, nor let women (laugh) at (other) women, perchance they may be better than they; and do not find fault with your own people nor call one another by nicknames; evil is a bad name after faith, and whoever does not turn, these it is that are the unjust. (Al_Quraan_049.011)

The Cause and Effects are interrelated. Just trying to fix the effect, without knowing the cause of it, may not help to resolve the issues. First we need to find out the real cause, which in major cases are the roots of destruction. We need to find out the Responsibilities of Rasool Allah (SAW) as well. To resolve the issues of the Downfall of Muslim Ummah we need to find out the Roots. Here I would like to give an example of a Coconut Tree.

A Coconut Tree may never give you Coconut Water and its food, till you start taking care of it as it should be. The main treatment you need for the Coconut Tree to get the Coconut Water and its food is, you need to do a special treatment in its roots, which is very necessary, and its specialist knows what treatment and how to do that. Additionally you need to keep cleaning up all the dead leafs, which is not very necessary but is very helpful.

To find out the real roots of the Downfall of Muslim Ummah we need to analyze all the things, like the Quraan, the Hadeeths, the saying of Scholars and the History etc.

Analysis of the Quraan:

The Quraan is the real book of guidance (Al_Quraan_002.002) and is protected by Allah (Al_Quraan_005.003) and the Quraan will surely help to find the major issues of the Downfall of Muslim Ummah if we try to find it sincerely.

Analysis of the Hadeeths:

To analyze the Hadeeth we also need to see Islaamic History, with open eyes from inside our heart. Please also read my article on "The Truth about Hadeeths" for additional information.

· Rasool Allah (SAW) was born in around year 570 AD.

· Rasool Allah (SAW) got the prophecy and became the last and final prophet in around year 610 AD.

· Rasool Allah (SAW) passed away in around year 632 AD.

· The Hadeeth was first compiled around 250 years after Rasool Allah (SAW), which is around year 900 AD.

· Was it possible that some group of Hypocrites (Munafiqs) from the East, the West, the North and the South of Arabia united together and tried to include fabricated Hadeeths, which could have been misleading the Muslim Ummah? Yes of course. Even at the time of Rasool Allah (SAW) they demanded to change the Ayaat of Quraan, which Rasool Allah (SAW) answered that he didn't have any authority to do that (Al_Quraan_010.015 – 016). There is no doubt that this thing might have been happening before and the proof was that out of the seventeen books of the Hadeeth only seven were accepted by our religious scholars, i.e. more than 50% were rejected initially.

· Is it possible that still in the seven accepted books of the Hadeeth there might have been fabricated Hadeeth? Yes off course. Cause and effects are interrelated and you can see how much we Muslim Ummah are divided. Also there are many Hadeeths, which are contradicting the Quraan.

· Allah told us to do research and think about the Quraan (Al_Quraan_003.169, 004.083). What about the Hadeeth? Is it enough to just believe on the Hadeeth Blindly?

· Rasool Allah (SAW) already warned his people that there will be Hadeeth coming after me, so accept them if they are according to Quraan, other wise reject them (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513). So we need to test every Hadeeth, don't reject all Blindly and don't accept all Blindly as well, BUT do research and if it is according to the Quraan only then accept it. The Quraan is the main source and guidance to all human beings.

· Because of poor communication, knowledge was not getting transferred as quickly as now.

· Muslims were getting successes before the year 900 AD.

· After the year 900 AD, Muslims started getting a down fall BUT it took several hundred years just to feel the downfall, since Muslim Ummah were still succeeding. Possibly after leaving the Quraan behind and taking the Hadeeth as number one, they started to fail more deliberately.

· After the year 1500 AD, it seems that Muslims went beyond the limit and started taking the Scholars as number one, the Hadeeth as number two and the Quraan they left behind. As you can see after that Muslims started loosing all over the world.

Be in the MIDDLE and Categorize the Hadeeth:

Rasool Allah (SAW) already warned about coming of Hadeeths after him and set the CRITERIA on how to verify them, which allows us to live in the MIDDLE without extremism.

Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, there is NO DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So you MUST test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN. If it is really according to the QURAAN only then accept it otherwise reject it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513)

Then WHY don't you Reject all those Hadeeths which REALLY contradict the Quraan and its Basic Principles, since Rasool Allah (saw) already told to do so, are you rejecting Rasool Allah (saw) this Authentic Hadeeth by accepting all Hadeeths BLINDLY, which Contradicts the Quraan.

… We have Revealed the Book to you explaining EVERYTHING (Not Missing any thing, what we really need to understand and follow Deen), and a Guidance and Mercy and Good News for those who submit. (Al_Quraan_016.089)

Why Az-Zubair (RA) were NOT saying ANY single narrations:

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (RA): I said to my father, 'I do not hear from you any (single) narration (Hadith) of Allah's Apostle as I hear (his narrations) from so and so? " Az-Zubair (RA) replied. I was ALWAYS with him (the Prophet {saw}) and I heard him saying "Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire. (Sahi-Bukhari_Vol-1_Book-3_Hadeeth-107)

Some Contradictions between the concept of the Quraan and the Hadeeth:

Two lives and two deaths:

The Quraan gives the concept of two lives and two deaths (Al_Quraan_002.028), while the Hadeeth gives the concept of three lives and three deaths. To get punishment there must be a body, which includes the soul. It is the Skin, which lets you know the pain (Al_Quraan_004.056). In the case of the Grave we don't have a soul and slowly many parts of our body dissolve into the Earth. Quraan says about the Grave as it is a barrier not the place of punishment (Al_Quraan_023.099-100). It is the process to unite previous people with the present people and the future people (Al_Quraan_077.038). For further detail, please read my article on "Punishment in the Grave".

Reciting Kalimah only:

The Hadeeth says, just by reciting Kalimah, you will enter the heavens, even after getting punishment. The concept of the Quraan is different. The Quraan gives the concept of converting finite systems to infinite systems. Keep yourselves far away from Great sins, your minor sins will be forgiven and you will enter into heaven forever (Al_Quraan_004.031). There is no concept of moving from Heaven to Hell or Hell to heaven according to the Quraan. The Quraan gives the concept of forever. Those who will enter into Heaven, they will abide there forever and those who will enter into hell, they will abide there forever. You cannot divide infinite numbers by any finite numbers.

Future and Unseen:

Rasool Allah said he doesn't know about the future, even he didn't know when and where he would be dying and it is also mentioned in the Quraan (Al_Quraan_006.050, 031.034).

Eclipse:

Solar or Lunar Eclipse, a sign of coming of Imaam Mahdi, or Jesus (pbuh) or Dajjaal or it is their regular cycles. People were saying about relations between the solar eclipse and the death of son of Rasool Allah (SAW). But Rasool Allah (SAW) denied and explained to them that there is no relationship between them Narrated by Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba; Vol-002, Book-018, Hadeeth-0153 of Sahih Bukhari. Generally people talk without knowledge and don't want to learn as well.

Here I gave few examples just to let you know that when ever you read the Quraan try to understand its concept as well, BUT whenever you read the Hadeeth, test it from the Quraan and if it is really according to the Quraan only then accept it, otherwise, reject it. For further references please read my article on "The Truth about Hadeeth".

To get Success Leave the Foretell behind and Start Helping Allah:

O ye who believe! Strong Drink (Intoxicants), gambling, idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. [Al_Quraan_005.090]

Help Allah to get Help from Allah:

O ye who believe! If ye will Help Allah, He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly. (Al_Quraan_047.007)

If you Really Love Allah, You will sincerely Obey Allah.

Either you Love Allah or You Love Shaitaan

At least you can establish Allah's Laws in your home

At least you can turn all your audios & videos into Islaamic Education System

I am a human and may make mistakes after mistakes and may be wrong in understanding the Quraan and the Hadeeth. So Please don't take my words as final and please let me know where I am wrong. Take your time to understand the Quraan and Real Authentic Hadeeth. May Allah help us to understand and practice the Quraan and the Authentic Hadeeth Perfectly and Precisely. AMEEN.

Responsibilities of Rasool Allah (SAW)

… The Decision is for Allah only … (Al_Quraan_006.057)

Duaa for Discussing the Critical Issues:

After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:

O Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If others are wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all of us. AMEEN.

"Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa". (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114 AMEEN.

Laughing Stock of Allah:

… Make not the revelations of Allah a Laughing Stock (by your behavior), but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom, whereby He doth exhort you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all things. (Al_Quraan_002.231)

Believing on Some Ayaat while Rejecting others:

Then is it the only part of the book you believe (practice) in, and do you reject the rest of it? But what is the reward for those among you who behave (practice) like this but disgrace in this life? And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what you do. (Al_Quraan_002.085)

Looking for another Religion:

Do they seek for other than the religion of Allah? While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to his will (accepted Islaam), and to him shall they be brought back (Al_Quraan_003.083)

Journey by Night:

Glory to (Allah) who did take his servant for a journey from the sacred Masjid to the farthest Masjid, whose precincts we did bless, in order that we might show him some of our Signs: for he is the one who heareth and seeth (all things). (Al_Quraan_017.01)

Rasool Allah (SAW) was not able to recite any Book before Quraan:

And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (Able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted. (Al_Quraan_029.048)

Reason for sending Quraan:

A Book (Quraan) revealed unto thee, so let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account, that with it (the Quraan) thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers. (Al_Quraan_007.002)

Duty of Rasool Allah (SAW):

…It is Thy duty ONLY to convey the message (unto them as is). (Al_Quraan_003.020)

But if they turn away, thy duty is only to preach the clear message. (Al_Quraan_016.082)

O Prophet (SAW) We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of Glad Tidings, and a Warner, And as one who invites to Allah's (Grace) by His leave, and as a Lamp spreading Light. (Al_Quraan_033.045 – 046)

Say: It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct. (Al_Quraan_072.021)

We sent not a Messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the Will of Allah … (Al_Quraan_004.064)

O Messenger! Proclaim (all) the (Message as is) which hath been sent to thee from the Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His Mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith. (Al_Quraan_005.067)

Halaal and Haraam: Muslim Never makes Halaal as Haraam and vise versa:

O ye believe! Forbid not the good things, which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not. Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors. (Al_Quraan_005.087)

Say: Who hath forbidden the adornment of Allah, which He hath brought forth for His bondmen, and good things of His providing?… (Al_Quraan_007.032)

O Prophet (SAW)! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful. Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths (in some cases): and Allah is your Protector, and He is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (Al_Quraan_066.001 – 002)

Rasool Allah (SAW) did NOT had Authority to change any of the Ayaat of Quraan:

But when our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, say: bring us reading other than this, or change this, say: it is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow Naught but what is revealed unto me (as is): if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the Penalty of a great day (to come). Say: If Allah had to willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, nor would he have made it known to you. A whole lifetime before this have I tarried amongst you: will ye not then understand? (Al_Quraan_010.015 – 016)

And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change his words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than him. (Al_Quraan_018.027)

Allah Warned Rasool Allah (SAW) not to change Halaal to Haraam etc and break the oath:

O Prophet (SAW)! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful. Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths (in some cases): and Allah is your Protector, and He is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (Al_Quraan_066.001 – 002)

(So Rasool Allah (SAW) cannot change Halaal to Haraam, or Haraam to Halaal, or Tougher Laws to MORE Tougher Laws, or Tougher Laws to EASIER Laws)

Allah's Word doesn't Change:

… No Change can there be in the words of Allah … (Al_Quraan_010.064)

Not a single Messenger can bring a Sign by his own without the Help of Allah:

… And it was never the part of a messenger to bring a Sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded … (Al_Quraan_013.038)

Rasool Allah (SAW) was not able to Make the Any Dead People Listen: Can you make any?

So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away. Nor canst thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear, who believe in Our Signs and submit (their wills in Islaam). (Al_Quraan_030.052 – 053)

Knowledge of Future is with Allah only: Messenger did not know when & where he would die:

Then, when We decreed (Solomon's pbuh) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would Not have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task). (Al_Quraan_034.014)

Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (Alone). It is He Who knows rain, and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does any one (including Messengers) know what it is that he will earn on tomorrow: nor does any one (including Messengers) know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things). (Al_Quraan_031.034)

Men ask thee concerning the Hour: say, The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone): and what will make thee understand? Perchance the Hour is nigh. (Al_Quraan_033.063)

Say (O Muhammad (SAW), to the disbelievers): I say not unto you (that) I possess the treasures of Allah, nor that I have knowledge of the Unseen; and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an angel. I follow only that which is inspired in me. Say: Are the blind man and the seer equal? Will ye not then take thought? [Al_Quraan_006.050]

Say (O Muhammad (SAW): I have no power over any good or harm to my self except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the Unseen, I should have multiplied all good and no evil should have touched me: I am but a Warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have Faith. [Al_Quraan_007.188]

To get Success Leave the Fore-tell behind and Start Helping Allah:

Help Allah to get Help from Allah:

O ye who believe! If ye will Help Allah, He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly. (Al_Quraan_047.007)

Allah's Favor has Already been Completed:

This day, I have Perfected your Religion for you and Completed my Favor unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion Al-Islaam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. [Al_Quraan_005.003]

(Allah's Favor has already been completed on us, so no new miracle may happen)

Astrology – Fore-teller – UNSEEN

Duaa for Discussing the Critical Issues:

After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:

O Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If others are wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all of us. AMEEN.

"Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa". (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114 AMEEN.

Muslim cannot be Astrologer or Fortuneteller:

(Allah's Favor has already been completed on us, so no new miracle may happen)

Some people asked Allah's Apostle (SAW) about the fore-tellers. He said. -They are nothing." They said, O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Sometimes they tell us of a thing which turns out to be true." Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "A Jinn snatches that true word and pours it into the ear of his friend (the foreteller) (as one puts something into a bottle). The foreteller then mixes with that word one hundred lies."

Narrated by Ayesha (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anha); Sahih Bukhari transmitted it. Vol 7: #657 of Sahih Bukhari.

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Whoever comes to fortune-tellers, and ask him about something, his prayer is NOT accepted for forty nights."

Narrated by Hafsah (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anha); Muslim transmitted it. Vol 2: #4391 of Mishkat al-Masabih.

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Whoever learns astrology, learns a branch of sorcery. He adds what he likes.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anhu); Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah transmitted it. Vol 2: #4394 of Mishkat al-Masabih.

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Whoever acquires a branch of astrology for a purpose other than that for which Allah mentioned, has indeed acquired a branch of sorcery, An astrologer is a sooth-sayer and a sooth-sayer is sorcerer and a sorcerer is an unbeliever."

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anhu); Razin transmitted it. Vol 2: #4399 of Mishkat al-Masabih.

He who presumes that he would inform about what was going to happen tomorrow fabricates the greatest lie against Allah. And Allah says "Say thou [Muhammad (SAW)]: None in the heavens and the earth knoweth the UNSEEN except Allah".

Narrated by Ayesha (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anha); Vol 1: #0337 of Sahih Muslim.

ECLIPSE is not a sign of someone's death or birth etc, just offer additional prayers at the time of Eclipse:

The sun ECLIPSED in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (SAW) on the day when (his son) Ibrahim died. So the people said that the sun had ECLIPSED because of the death of Ibrahim. Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "The sun and the moon do not ECLIPSE because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone. When you see the ECLIPSE pray and invoke Allah."

Narrated by Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba; Vol-002, Book-018, Hadeeth-0153 of Sahih Bukhari.

The Prophet (SAW) said, "The sun and the moon do not ECLIPSE because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them offer the prayers."

Narrated by Ibn Umar; Vol-002, Book-018, Hadeeth-0152 of Sahih Bukhari.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth gets directly between the Sun and the Moon.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and casts its shadow on Earth's surface.

In the light of above-mentioned Hadeeths, HOW come Rasool Allah (SAW) did Foretell about Imaam Mahdi and Dajjaal?

May be He (SAW) didn't. Not in Quraan and Authentic Hadeeth.

Knowledge of Future is with Allah only: Messenger did not know when & where he would die:

Men ask thee concerning the Hour: say, The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone): and what will make thee understand? Perchance the Hour is nigh. (Al_Quraan_033.063)

Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) – Dead or Alive?

Duaa for Discussing the Critical Issues:

After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:

O Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If others are wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all of us. AMEEN.

"Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa". (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114 AMEEN.

The main reason why we don't understand the concept and the meaning of Quraan could be as mentioned in the Quraan as, " … And yet ye study the Scripture? Will ye not understand?" (Al_Quraan_002.044).

To understand about Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) Dead or Alive we need to do analysis of the Ayaat below:

There is none (not a single one) of the People of the book (including 1.5 Billion Muslims) but must believe in him (as only a Messenger of Allah) before his (Jesus pbuh) death. And on the Day of Resurrection (NOT Before), he (Jesus) will be a witness against them." (Al_Quraan_004.159)

First Proof:

The first proof that Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) is NOT Alive is this Ayaat itself, since it says that "on the Day of Resurrection (NOT Before), he (Jesus) will be a witness against them", if Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) comes second time in this world then he will be witness in the world before the Day of Resurrection, which cannot be true according to the above mentioned Ayaat. The concept of Quraan cannot be wrong, BUT our pre-assumptions and our believe could be wrong.

Second Proof:

For the second proof, we need to understand the meaning of People of the Book (Scripture).

Jews are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Torah, which is one of the Book of Allah.

Christian are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Injeel (Bible), which is one of the Book of Allah.

Similarly Muslims are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Quraan, which is also one of the Book of Allah.

This is also another proof that Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) is not Alive, since in the above Ayaat it is mentioned that "none (not a single one) of the People of the book (including 1.5 Billion Muslims) but must believe in him (as only a Messenger of Allah) before his (Jesus pbuh) death", and Alhamdulillaah, around 1.5 Billion Muslims around the world believe on Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) as Messenger of Allah.

Third Proof:

For the third proof, Allah said that he will take away Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) and no where he mentioned that he will send back Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) again for the second time, instead He mentioned that what ever we are arguing about him (pbuh), He will tell us on the day of Judgement and NOT before.

Behold Allah said: O Jesus / Isaa (pbuh) I will take thee and raise thee to myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject Faith, to the day of resurrection (not before): then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute. (Al_Quraan_003.055)

To get Success Leave the Fore-tell behind and Start Helping Allah:

Help Allah to get Help from Allah:

O ye who believe! If ye will Help Allah, He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly. (Al_Quraan_047.007)

Allah's Favor has Already been Completed:

(Allah's Favor has already been completed on us, so no new miracle may happen)

Islaam will eventually come to all over the World:

Their intention is to extinguish the Allah's light (by blowing) with their mouths, but Allah will complete His light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it). [Al_Quraan_061.008]

Don't waste your time in Foretelling and just do what Allah has commanded.

We Already have Two Miracles, The Quraan and Sunnah with us.

Allah's Favor has already been completed on us.

The Truth about Hadeeths

Neither BLINDLY Reject all Hadeeths Nor BLINDLY Accept all Hadeeths

We MUST believe on Those Authentic Hadeeths, which don't contradict Quraan

Duaa for Discussing the Critical Issues:

After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:

O Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If others are wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all of us. AMEEN.

"Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa". (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114 AMEEN.

Blindly Accepting all Hadeeths:

There is no doubt of the existence of Sahee Hadeeths. The proofs are not one BUT many, like Sahee Bukharee, Sahee Muslim, etc., which contain several thousand Sahee Hadeeths. BUT Do not Blindly Accept all Hadeeths as Sahee, which may put you in the category of Liar to Quraan, since there is no doubt that there are few Hadeeths, which REALLY contradict the Quraan. Be careful.

Blindly Rejecting all Hadeeths:

Do not Blindly Reject all Hadeeths, because of the following Hadeeths:

Narrator Ash Shabi, Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got ANY book (which has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the Quraan)? Ali replied, NO, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' " Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, 'It deals with the Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).' " (Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 1, Hadeeth 111)

Further References regarding any Book other than Quraan if exists:

1> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 4, Hadeeth 283

2> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 9, Hadeeth 40

3> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 9, Hadeeth 50

4> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 3, Hadeeth 93

5> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 4, Hadeeth 397

6> Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadeeth, Volume 4, Hadeeth 404

And many more….

Blindly Rejecting all Hadeeths may put you in the category of Liar to Hadeeths and also you will be in problem like, how to offer the Salaat and how to perform the Hajj, etc.

Be in the MIDDLE and Categorize the Hadeeth:

Rasool Allah (SAW) already warned about coming of Hadeeths after him and set the CRITERIA on how to verify them, which allows us to live in the MIDDLE without extremism.

Please read my article on "How to Understand Quraan".

There is NO Guarantee that if the Authentic Chain of narrations are correct, then the Hadeeth is Authentic, even if it Contradicts the Basic Principles of the Quraan. By giving preference to the Hadeeth over the Quraan may put you in the category of Liar to the Quraan, which is an Extremely Dangerous Shirk. Be Care Full.

If you don't follow the Authentic Hadeeth above by Rejecting all the Hadeeth, which Really Contradict the Quraan and its Basic Principles, THEN perhaps you are NOT believing on all the Ayaat of the Quraan and taking some while rejecting others.

Then is it only a part of the Book that you believe in, and do you reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what you do. (Al_Quraan_002.085).

Look at present situation of the Muslim Ummah, How BLINDLY they are believing on ALL the Hadeeth by Rejecting the Really Authentic Hadeeth above as well as rejecting the following verse of the Quraan:

Obey Allah and the Messenger (saw). But if they turn away, Lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance). (Al_Quraan_003.032)

Rasool Allah (SAW) already warned about coming of Hadeeths after him and set the CRITERIA on how to verify them, which allows us to live in the MIDDLE without extremism.

Believing on Scholars (Ulemaa), that they cannot be wrong may put you in the category of SHIRK:

Great Thanks to our Scholars (Ulemaa), who worked extremely hard to keep Islaam ALIVE and to keep us Muslims by providing Beautiful knowledge of Islaam. BUT Scholars are NOT Allah and they might do mistake.

They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis (Priests) and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no god save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him). (Al_Quraan_009.031)

1> Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, the BEST among you are those who learns and teaches QURAAN, (Bukhari_Vol_6_Book_61_Hadeeth_ 545).

explanation:

( So we should TRY to become the BEST OF BEST.)

2> Muhammad (SAW) said "Do NOT write my Hadeeth and whatever Hadeeth you have DESTROY them", (Hadeeth Muslim 72).

3> Al Bukhari has more than 3000 Hadeeths from Abu Huriara, with many others rejected.

4> Book of Hadeeths were written 200+ years after Rasool Allah (SAW), every Hadeeth being 100% correct is impossible.

5> Abu Huraira narrated much more Hadeeths than Abu Bakr & Aisha put together, and he spent the very less time with him. A lot of his Hadeeths sound like superstitions that we are not to follow.

6> Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, there is no doubt that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So you MUST test those Hadeeths from the QURAAN. If it is really according to the QURAAN only then accept it otherwise reject it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513)

7> Narrator Ash Shabi, Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got ANY book (which has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the Quraan)?' Ali replied, 'NO, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' " Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, 'It deals with the Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).'

Quraan is the most beautiful HADEETH

Allah has revealed the most beautiful HADEETH in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide. (Al_Quraan_039.023)

Quraan is not a fabricated HADEETH

There is, in their stories, instruction for men endued with understanding. It is not a fabricated HADEETH, but a confirmation of what went before it, a detailed exposition of. (Al_Quraan_012.111)

Whose HADEETH can be truer than Allah's?

Allah! There is no Allah save Him. He gathered you all unto a Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. Whose Hadeeth is truer than Allah's? (Al_Quraan_004.087)

Then in what HADEETH after this will they believe?

Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms are nigh drawing to an end? In what HADEETH after this will they then believe? (Al_Quraan_007.185)

Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth; then in what HADEETH will they believe after Allah and His Signs? (Al_Quraan_045.006)

Then what HADEETH, after that, will they believe in? (Al_Quraan_077.050)

Those who purchase LAHWAL HADEETH, will get Humiliating Penalty

But there are, among men, those who purchase LAHWAL HADEETH, without knowledge, to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty. all things, and a guide and a mercy to any such as believe. (Al_Quraan_031.006)

According to Sahih Bukahri and Muslim, Allah's Book is sufficient:

Is there anywhere written in Quraan that Muhammad [p.b.u.h] gave to Ummah anything in addition to Quraan? The only thing Muhammad [p.b.u.h] gave to Ummah was Quraan. Allah's order was implemented through Muhammad [p.b.u.h], so Muhammad's obedience was compulsory. Muhammad's obedience was Allah's obedience because Muhammad [p.b.u.h] ordered only what Allah told him to order.

Check the following references:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Quraan; so the Book of Allah is enough for us." Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 70, Number 573

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When the time of the death of the Prophet approached while there were some men in the house, and among them was 'Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said, "Come near let me write for you a writing after which you will never go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the Quraan, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 468

The above Hadeeth has also been reported in Sahih Muslim.

Ibn Abbas reported: When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was about to leave this world, there were persons (around him) in his house, 'Umar b. al-Kbattab being one of them. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Come, I may write for you a document; you would not go astray after that. Thereupon Umar said: Verily Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) is deeply afflicted with pain. You have the Quraan with you. The Book of Allah is sufficient for us. Sahih Muslim Book 013, Number 4016

From the above we can see that in the most authentic books of Hadeeth Umar (R.A) has said that Allah's book is sufficient for us.

According to Sahih Muslim, Allah's Messenger forbad to write Hadeeth

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Do not write down anything from me, and he who took down anything from me except the Quraan, he should efface that and narrate from me, for there is no harm in it and he who attributed any falsehood to me-and Hammam said: I think he also said:" deliberately" -he should in fact find his abode in the Hell-Fire. Sahih Muslim Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq Book 042, Number 7147

According to Sahih Bukhari, Muhammad [p.b.u.h] left for Ummah nothing except Quraan

Narrated 'Abdul 'Aziz bin Rufai':

Shaddad bin Ma'qil and I entered upon Ibn 'Abbas. Shaddad bin Ma'qil asked him, "Did the Prophet leave anything (besides the Quraan)?" He replied. "He did not leave anything except what is Between the two bindings (of the Quraan)." Then we visited Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyya and asked him (the same question). He replied, "The Prophet did not leave except what is between the bindings (of the Quraan)." Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 537
