Hadith regarding taking someone's land unjustly 

Narrated Abu Salama:

There was a dispute between him and some people (about a piece of land). When he told Aisha about it, she said, "O Abu Salama! Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet SAW said, 'Whoever usurps even one span of the land of somebody, his neck will be encircled with it down the seven earths(or he would be hanged with it from seven earths)." [Sahih Bukhari 2453]

Hadith regarding Prohibition of Desiring the Position of Authority  

It has been reported by the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman bin Samura who said:

The Messenger of Allah SAW said to me: "Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for a position of authority(leadership or governance), for if you are granted this position as a result of your asking for it, you will be left alone (without God's help to discharge your duties thereon), and if you are granted it without making any request for it, you will be helped (by God in the discharge of your duties)." [Sahih Muslim 1652c]

Hadith regarding virtues of Ahlul-Bayt

Narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas:

The beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW said: "O Children of Abdul Muttalib, I asked Allah three things for you; that He keeps your hearts steadfast (upon Islam); that He teaches the Deen to your ignorant and illiterate and guides your astray, and that He make you kind, generous and affectionate to one another. So if a man prays, standing between the Rukn(Hajar al-aswad also known as black stone) and Maqam(Maqam e Ibrahim), and fasts but dies with malice for the Household(Ahle Bait) of Muhammad he has entered Hell."[Al Mustadrak Hakim 4712(Narrated as Hassan Sahih according to the conditions of Imam Muslim)]

Hadith regarding Prohibition of Intercepting Traders on their way to the Market

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger SAW as saying:

"Do not meet the merchant in the way(on his way to the market) and enter into a business transaction with him, and whoever meets him and buys from him (and in case it is done, see) that when the owner of (merchandise) comes into the market (and finds that he has been paid less price) he has the option (to declare the transaction null and void or illegal). [Sahih Muslim 1519b]

Open it for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise and, lo, it was Abu Bakr. I opened (the gate) for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another person asked for the door to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Paradise. He said: I went away and, lo, it was 'Umar. I opened it for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then still another man asked for the door to be opened, and thereupon Allah's Apostle SAW said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Paradise after a trial would afflict him. I went and, lo, it was 'Uthman b. 'Affan. 1 opened the door and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise and informed him (what the Prophet had said). Thereupon he said: O Allah, grant me steadfastness.

I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'He is the son of Mary.' Then I looked behind and I saw a red-complexioned, fat, curly-haired man, blind in the right eye which looked like a bulging out grape. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'He is Ad-Dajjal.' The one who resembled to him among the people, was Ibn Qatan." (Az-Zuhri said, "He (i.e. Ibn Qatan) was a man from the tribe Khuza`a who died in the pre-Islamic period.") [Sahih Bukhari 3441]

Earth being 'Spread out' mentioned in the Quran

 

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

   In this blog, I have written about Earth being 'Spread out' mentioned in the Quran.

Translation of Verse 19 of Surah Nuh

And Allah has made the earth(land) for you as a carpet (spread out).

Explanation:

                     In the verse 19 of Surah Nuh Allah says that the earth or land is spread out or it is like a carpet. Many people cite this verse when they argue that the Quran says that the Earth is flat. In this verse, it does not say that the Earth is flat but it says that it is spread out which is true. If you go on top of a high-rise building you will observe that the landscape around you is levelled like a carpet or spread out. 

The reason Allah has made the land spread out is so that we can walk on it and perform several other tasks like growing crops, building out houses etc. Flatness and being spread out have 2 different meanings. This was also the view of a very renowned 14th century scholar Ibn Kathir.

Translation of Verse 44 of Surah An-Nur

"Allah alternates the day and night. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight."

Explanation:

                      I wrote about the shape of the earth mentioned in the Quran in my previous blog. If you want to read it then click on this link Shape of the Earth mentioned in the Quran. In the previous verse I said that the land on which we live has been spread so that we can perform our daily life activities. In the verse 44 of Surah An-nur Allah says that he alternates the day and night. This could only be possible if the Earth is spherical. In the verse which I explained in my blog Description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran it is written that "he wraps(folds) the day around night and night around day." The word وَيُكَوِّرُ 'Wayukawir' used in verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumr means to wrap or fold around as if you fold or wrap a turban around your head. This is what we observe after sunset the night wraps around the day and the same occurs early in the morning before sunset. At the end of verse 44 of Surah An-Nur, it is written that it is a lesson for people of insight like Physicists, Astronomers and other scientists. The lesson is to ponder upon the wisdom and greatness of Allah who mentioned these scientific facts with such great precision 1400 years ago when the technology at that time was not sufficient to research these facts. These verses and many other verses are clear prooves that the Quran is the word of Allah. Although it contains many scientific facts with great accuracy but the Quran is not a book of science it is the book of guidance. These scientific facts are mentioned only so that we can ponder upon the greatness of Allah Almighty.

    One thing to keep in mind is that there can be various others explanations of these verses and only Allah Almighty knows what is the correct explanation.

Sahih Hadith regarding responsibilities/judgements, Praying Salah during Travelling, spreading knowledge, regarding Significance of Friday, regarding Prohibition of Plundering, people disliked by Allah, regarding the Etiquette of Judges.

   In this blog, I have written Sahih Hadiths regarding responsibilities/judgements, Praying Salah during Travelling, spreading knowledge, regarding Significance of Friday, regarding Prohibition of Plundering, people disliked by Allah, regarding the Etiquette of Judges.

Hadith regarding responsibilities/judgements

Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar:

Allah's Messenger SAW said, "Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges." [Sahih al-Bukhari 7138]

Hadith regarding Praying Salah while Travelling 

Yahya bin Yazid al-Huna'i reported:

"I asked Anas bin Malik about shortening of prayer. He said: When the Messenger of' Allah SAW had covered a distance of three miles or three farsakh (Shuba, one of the narrators, had some doubt about it) he observed two rakahs." [Sahih Muslim 691]

Sahih Hadith regarding spreading knowledge 

Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit:

"I heard the Messenger of Allah SAW say: May Allah brighten a man who hears a tradition(Hadith)  from us, gets it(learns it) by heart and passes it on to others. Many a bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more versed than he is; and many a bearer of knowledge is not versed in it." [Sunan Abu Dawood 3660 Graded as Sahih according to Al-Albani]

Sahih Hadith regarding the Significance of Friday

Abu Hurairah narrated:

"Allah's Messenger said: The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he entered Paradise, and on it, he was sent down from it. And in it there is an hour in which the Muslim worshipper would not stand in Salat, asking Allah for anything except that He would give it to him.'" Abu Hurairah said: "I met Abdullah bin Salam, and I mentioned this Hadith to him. He said: 'I am more knowledgeable about that hour.' So I said: 'Inform me about it, and do not keep any of it from me.' He said: 'It is after al-Asr until the sun has set.' I said: 'How can it be after Al-Asr when Allah's Messenger said: ' the Muslim worshipper would not stand in Salat.' And that is a time that prayer is not performed in?" So Abdullah bin Salam said: 'Didn't Allah's Messenger say: "Whoever sat in a gathering awaiting the Salat then he is in Salat"? I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then that is it.'" [Al-Tirmidhi 491]

Sahih Hadith regarding Prohibition of Plundering 

Abu Hurairah narrated from Prophet Muhammad SAW:

“The adulterer, at the time he is committing adultery, is not a believer; (the wine drinker) at the time he is drinking, is not a believer; the thief, at the time he is stealing, is not a believer; the plunderer, at the time he is plundering with the people looking on, is not a believer.”[Sunan Ibn Majah 3936]

Sahih Hadith regarding people disliked by Allah

Abdullah bin Abbas narrated that:

"The Prophet Muhammad SAW said: There are three servants whom Allah dislikes the most: the one who denies atheism in the Haram, the one who seeks the method of ignorance in Islam, and the one who seeks the blood of a human being. So that he sheds his blood." [Al-Silsila 922]

Sahih Hadith regarding Etiquette of Judges

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'If a judge passes judgment and strives to reach the right conclusion and gets it right, he will have two rewards; if he strives to reach the right conclusion but gets it wrong, he will still have one reward." [Sunan an Nasai 5381]

Shape of the Earth mentioned in the Quran

  

Ads by Muslim Ad Network

    In my previous blog, I wrote about the explanation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar which mentions how day changes to night and how night changes to day. The only 2 ways for this to be possible is that the Earth rotate around its axis which I wrote about in my previous blog and the second possibility is that the Earth is spherical. In this blog, I will discuss about the spherical shape of the Earth.

Translation of Verse 30 of Surah al-Naziat

He made the earth egg-shaped.

Explanation:

                        This verse of the Quran mentions that the Earth is shaped like an egg. Some people say that the Earth is round but in reality, it is not completely round. It is flat at the poles and bulging from the equator. If you compare the image of the Earth which we got from the pictures taken from the satellites with an egg. You will get to know that the shapes of the Earth and an egg are in quite resemblance to one another.

      All this is described in the Quran 1400 years ago which is clear proof that the Quran is the word of Allah. It has been sent to the Prophet Muhammad SAW for our guidance. While the Quran does have many scientific facts but this doesn't make the Quran a book of Science but it is the book of guidance so that we can read it and act according to inorder to succeed in this life and the life hereafter. These scientific facts are mentioned in the Quran only so that the People can ponder upon the greatness of Allah Almighty. 

       One thing to keep in mind is that there can be various others explanations of this verse and only Allah Almighty knows what is the correct explanation.

Views of Muslim Scholars 

                       These facts which the Quran described 1400 years ago were proved scientifically a few centuries ago. Although the concept of round earth was common among Greek Astronomers like Aristotle and many other Greek scientists there was still debate among the scholars for the accuracy of this claim. In the medieval Muslim era as well this concept of the Earth being spherical was common knowledge due to this and many other verses of the Quran. Muslim scholars such as Ibn-al-Hazm and Fakharuddin Razi proved scientifically that the Earth is spherical. 

   Al-Biruni was the first scientist to measure the radius of the earth which differed by only 16.8km from the current value of 6356.7km. All Muslim scientists believed not only in the accuracy of the Quran but also in their own Mathematics. Theologians like Ibn-Tayimiah also agreed with Ibn-Hazm and many other Muslim scientists of that time. Imam Ghazali, a 14th-century Muslim philosopher went as far as to say that those who deny the fact of a spherical earth is mocking Islam. Even the first 3 centuries of Muslims which were the best people in understanding Islam according to a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW “The best people are those of my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.” [Bukhari 6065] They also believed the earth as spherical. Muslim geographer Ibn Khordadbeh (died 912 A.D), also argued about the spherical shape of the Earth in his Book of Roads and Kingdoms which mentions various import trade routes of that era. Ibn Abbas who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and probably among the companions with the most knowledge also believed the Earth to be spherical in shape. The map given below by the 12th-century Muslim Geographer Muhammad al Idris also depicts the Earth as spherical.

     The idea of the spherical earth was proposed in the West by scientists like Galileo and Copperenicus but they were met with severe criticism and opposition from the Church. Unlike, in the Muslim world where both the Theologians and Scientists agreed upon the spherical shape of the Earth.
