Hadith no.274

Sahih Hadith regarding prohibition of Lying

Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You must be truthful. Truthfulness leads to dutifulness and dutifulness leads to the Garden. A man continues to tell the truth until he is written as a siddiq with Allah. Beware of lying. Lying leads to deviance and deviance leads to the Fire. A man continues to lie until he is written as a liar with Allah." [Al-Adab Al Mufrad 386]

Hadith no.275

Hadith Regarding the Signs of the Day of Judgement 

Narrated Anas:

I will narrate to you a Hadith and none other than I will tell you about after it. I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying: From among the portents of the Hour are (the following): -1. Religious knowledge will decrease (by the death of religious learned men). -2. Religious ignorance will prevail. -3. There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse. -4. Women will increase in number and men will decrease in number so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man. [Sahih al Bukhari 81]

An-Nawas bin Sama'an narrated that a man came asking the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about righteousness and sin. So the Prophet (s.a.w) said:

Hadith no.277

Hadith Regarding the Description of Paradise 

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr b. Abu Musa b. Qais who, on the authority of his father, reported the Apostle (ﷺ) to have said that there would be a tent made of a pearl whose height towards the sky would be sixty miles. In each corner, there would be a family of the believer, out of sight for the others. [Sahih Muslim 2838c]

Hadith no.278

Hadith Regarding Repeating the Adhan(Call to Prayer) when Hearing it

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whenever you hear the Adhan, say what the Mu'adh-dhin is saying. [Sahih al Bukhari 611]

Hadith no.279

Hadith Regarding Virtues of Pronouncing/Reciting Adhan and Praying Salah in Congratulation

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in congregational prayers) and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots they would draw lots, and if they knew the reward of the Zuhr prayer (in the early moments of its stated time) they would race for it (go early) and if they knew the reward of `Isha' and Fajr (morning) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl." [Sahih al Bukhari 615]

Current Situation of the Muslim Ummah

      A couple of days ago the Zionist entity which is Israel violated the sovereignty of Qatar in an attempt to murder leaders of Hamas which included Khalid All Hayya who came to negotiate a cease fire in Gaza. Although Khalid Al Hayya survived but his Humam, one of his top aides son and a Qatari security official were martyred. May Allah forgive them and grant them a the highest rank in Paradise. May Allah give patience to there loved ones in these testing times. The events that have unfolded in the last couple of Months show that Israel is in no mood to attain a peace deal in Gaza but they will do whatever it takes to gain complete control in Gaza and the West bank. To achieve this they have to get rid of Hamas which they have been unsuccessful in doing so they are doing a brutal genocide in Gaza in order to weaken the support that Hamas gets from the brave people of Gaza. Along with this Israel has also been involved in airstrikes in other countries like Lebanon and Syria. They have even violated Tunisia's sovereignty by attacking a Flotilla named as 'Samud Flotilla' in Tunisian waters. This flotilla aims at breaking the seige on Gaza and transport food and medical aid to the helpless innocent people of Gaza. This is also a failure of International Human rights organizations like the United Nations which has failed to create peace in this world. Whenever the US and its allies attack other weaker countries especially if its a Muslim country than it does nothing except for condemnation. The same is true for the Muslim Ummah which just like the rest of the International community did nothing to stop Israel from murdering innocent people of Gaza. This has resulted in Israel becoming confident enough to attack other Muslim countries as well. If the Ummah had United to stop Israel on 7th October and if they had helped Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansarallah in there fight against Israel than we would not have been in this situation. However it is still not too late. The Ummah can still unite and stand up to this oppression that our Muslim brothers and sisters are going through not just in Gaza but other parts of the World. 

    The Ummah needs to form a Military alliance like NATO to defend its self otherwise the West and Israel will attack every Muslim country one by one. This is a pattern which we have been seeing for the last couple of Months when in May Pakistan was attacked by India in which it was aided by Israeli drones than Iran was attacked by Israel. Both these countries fought bravely and by the Grace of Allah they were successful against the enemy. Now this time its Qatar who knows that what Israel will do next. The biggest threat that the US and Israel have to there plan of subduing the entire Ummah is from three countries Pakistan, Iran and Türkiye. Only these Muslim countries have the Military capacity to challenge the West and there dog Israel. Maybe the next target for Israel could be Türkiye so before Israel attacks Türkiye or any other Muslim nation Muslims should take precautions first. The alliance which I talked about above should be led by Pakistan, Iran and Türkiye which should include other Muslim nations as well. Even if a single Muslim is attacked anywhere in the world by anyone than all Muslim nations would step forward to stop it and they would even fight a war to protect other Muslims and even non Muslims if there rights are violated. This is what Islam came for it came for ending oppression and establishing the divine rule of Allah. The leaders of the Ummah especially the leaders of the Gulf states should also act with justice, bravely and with dignity. Instead of becoming a puppet of the West and becoming a servant to there own worldly desires they should do what Allah's messenger Prophet Muhammad SAW would have wanted them to do. I want to say to the leaders of the Ummah that just think about it what would you do when you would be held accountable in front of Allah at the Day of Judgement? Do you think that Allah will not question your silence when Muslims were being oppressed? You should fear Allah and instead of spending your wealth and resources to build lavish palaces and pleasing the West you should use this wealth to help our oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters and support those who are fighting Jihad against the West and Israel. You have to keep in mind that Allah will surely ask you about the wealth he has gifted you with and where did you spent it on. Instead of pleasing the West and strengthening your friendship with them they should please Allah and strengthen your friendship with Allah. If the leaders of the Ummah don't do anything and act cowardly than its up to us ordinary Muslims to do whatever it takes to pressure our leaders to do something against the West and Israel. Just condemnation and rhetoric is not enough and we have seen this for the last two years. We should not underestimate ourselves. There are 57 Muslim states and more than 1.8 billion Muslims around the world. We are way more powerful than we think we are. We just have to be United and have a firm faith on Allah so that we can fight for our rights and for the rights of our oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters in a better way.

    At last my message to the Ummah and the leaders of the Ummah the West including Russia and China can never be our friends and history proves this. All of them have been hostile towards Islam and towards Muslims in one way or another. Instead we as Muslims should form and strengthen our alliances with one an other and end the sectarian and geopolitical differences that cause disunity among us. I would end my article with this verse from the Holy Quran;

"Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah , except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination." [Surah al-Imran verse no.28]

Mention of the Verse of the Holy Quran which talks about time being relative

   In this article, I wrote about the verse of the Quran, which mentions time being relative.

Translation of Verse 47 of Surah Al-Hajj

They challenge you, O Prophet, to hasten the torment(Day of Judgment/Doom's Day). And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting.

Explanation 

                     At the beginning of this verse of Surah Al-Hajj, Allah says that the infidels challenge the Prophet Muhammad SAW in bringing the Day of Judgment or the Doom's Day before its actual time. They do so to see those punishments quickly, which they are promised by Allah for their misdeeds. It is also clearly mentioned in the second part of this verse that Allah will never fail in his promise which means that those people who have done misdeeds and disobeyed Allah will surely be punished on the day of Judgment. The last part of this verse talks about a concept in Modern Physics which is known as relativistic time or time dilation. Now, if you read the last part of the verse, then Allah says, 'A Day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years of your counting.' In my last article, I briefly explained time dilation and how it is affected by gravity and the frame of reference. You can click on the link below to read that article. This verse and many other verses of the Holy Quran serve as clear proof that the Quran is the book of Allah Almighty revealed upon the beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW for the guidance of mankind 1400 years ago at a time when people were not even familiar with these sorts of Scientific concepts. These verses, which describe various scientific concepts, are revealed in the Holy Quran only so that we can ponder upon the greatness and wisdom of Almighty Allah. It doesn't change the sole purpose of the Holy Quran which is the guidance of Mankind to the right path to succeed in this life and in the life hereafter. 

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

Views of Imam al-Ghazali on Relativistic time

Imam al-Ghazali was a Persian Muslim Polymath who lived in the mid-eleventh and early twelfth century. He was one of the most prominent scholars, jurisconsult, theologian, philosopher and mystic of his time. Imam al-Ghazali also viewed space and time as being relative in extension, and he also viewed time as being observer-dependent. Although his view on time does not align perfectly with the theory of relativity they do have some similarities. He said that:

"Similarly, it will be said that just as spatial extension is a concomitant of body; temporal extension is a concomitant of motion. And just as the proof for the finitude of the dimensions of the body prohibits affirming a spatial dimension beyond it, the proof for the finitude of motion at both ends prohibits affirming a temporal extension before it, even though the estimation clings to its imagining it and it's supposing it, not desisting from [this]. There is no difference between temporal extension that in relation [to us] divides verbally into (before) and (after) and spatial extension that in relation [to us] divides into (above) and (below). If, then, it is legitimate to affirm an “above” that has no above, it is legitimate to affirm a (before) that has no real before, except an estimative imaginary [one] as with the (above).”

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]
