Hadith no.298
Hadith Regarding a treacherous ruler
It has been narrated on the authority of Hasan who said
Ubaidullah bin Ziyad visited Ma'qil bin Yasir al-Muzani in his last illness. Ma'qil said (to him): I am narrating to you a tradition I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). If I knew that I am to survive this illness. I would, not narrate it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If Allah appointed anyone ruler over a people and he died while he was still treacherous to his people, Allah would forbid his entry into Paradise. [Sahih Muslim 142e]
Hadith no.299
Hadith Regarding Prohibition of Fighting for Asabiyyah/Injustice and Fighting other Muslims Unjustly
Abu Huraira told that he heard God’s Messenger say, “He who abandons obedience and separates from the community and then dies, will die like those of pre-Islamic times; he who fights under a banner of ignorance* showing anger in support of party spirit(Assabiyah/Injustice), or summoning people to party spirit(Assabiyah/Injustice), or helping party spirit(Injustice/Assabiyah), and then is killed will be killed like those of pre-Islamic times; and he who goes out against my people with his sword smiting the virtuous and the reprobate, not keeping away from those who are believers or observing covenants which have been made, has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him.”
Muslim transmitted it.
*'Immiya, or 'ummiya, meaning either pride or error. I have translated it as ‘‘ignorance, for it is explained as being here used of people who fight without considering whether they are in the right or not. [Mishqat al-Masabih 3669]
Hadith no.300
Hadith Regarding Walking Calmly to the Mosque for the Congregation Prayer when the Prayer has started
Narrated Abu Huraira:
heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s (p.b.u.h) saying, "If the prayer is started do not run for it but just walk for it calmly and pray whatever you get, and complete whatever is missed. " [Sahih al Bukhari 908]
Hadith no.301
Hadith Regarding Reward for a Muslim to Plant a tree
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity." [Sahih al Bukhari 6012]
This Hadith is very important considering the fact that climate change is a very serious issue at the moment.
Hadith no.302
Sahih Hadith Regarding Prohibition of Drinking Wine in this World

“Whoever drinks wine in this world, he will not drink it in the Hereafter.”[Sunan Ibn Majah 3374]
Hadith no.303
Hadith Regarding this World being a prison house for the believer
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer. [Sahih Muslim 2956]
Hadith no.304
Hadith Regarding the State of Prophet Muhammad at the time of Revelation
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the mother of the faithful believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How is the Divine Inspiration revealed to you?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) being inspired divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over). [Sahih al Bukhari 2]
Current Political Situation of the Ummah
Although a lot is happening in the Muslim Ummah that is shaping its Political landscape but I would discuss about The civil war in Sudan, Violations of the Gaza peace deal by Israel and the rift between Pakistan and Afghanistan. First I would express my opinions on the current situation in Sudan. The situation in Sudan has worsened since the beginning of the Civil War that began in April 2023 as result of violent clashes between the Sudanese army and the Paramilitary forces the Rapid Support Forces(RSF). It is very difficult to assess the magnitude of the violence taking place in Sudan because of the limited media coverage by main stream media. Most of the coverage that has happened of this conflict has come out from Social Media platforms. Many Media reports, videos and Social Media posts surfacing online suggest ethnic cleansing that is taking place in Sudan by the RSF. Various Social Media posts and videos also show members of the RSF torturing, raping women and burying innocent people alive. Although this civil war has been going on for about a year but their was no media coverage on this issue. Now everyone on the mainstream media and on social media has started to speak on this genocide taking place in Sudan. With the RSF taking control of El Fasher the violence conducted by them has reached its peak. It has been reported that they have skilled more than 1500 innocent civilians. They are not even afraid to film their atrocities and war crimes that they are committing against the people of Sudan. It is also important to know who is behind this violence. Their is a clear involvement of the UAE and the RSF is funded by the UAE. Their is speculation that China is also complicit in this as they are supplying weapons to the UAE which then supplies those weapons to RSF. It is also speculated that the Russian mercenary group Wagner is also fighting alongside RSF. This shouldn't come as a surprise because when it comes to pursuing their own imperial ambitions Russia and China are no different than the US. Russia is already supporting many military dictators in Africa and China is also doing the same. All of these great powers want to capture resources from small and weak countries and to achieve this they will destabilize those weak countries and instigate chaos. This is also happening in Sudan where the UAE is openly supporting the RSF to destabilize Sudan so that they can take advantage of this situation and capture Sudan's Gold while all the other world powers are also doing the same but secretly. This is the same UAE which instead of helping the people of Palestine helped Israel in committing war crimes. This is the same UAE which gifted the US 1.2 trillion dollars worth of investment but didn't spend even a single dollar to help the people of Palestine. The UAE can arm RSF in committing heinous crimes in Sudan but they can not help Hamas infact the UAE has designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. The UAE backed RSF is the real terrorist organization. According to the Hadith which I mentioned above in which Prophet Muhammad very clearly forbade Muslims from fighting other Muslims Unjustly infact Prophet Muhammad said that such Muslims have nothing to do with him and he has nothing to do with them. Instead of mediating between the RSF and the Sudanese army and safeguarding the interests of the people of Sudan from other world powers the UAE is doing the opposite. Sudan and Palestine are not the only examples of treachery done by the UAE against Muslims. Infact the UAE along with Saudi Arabia was also involved in war crimes in Yemen. Some media reports even suggest that some UAE backed militias are also helping Israel in fighting Hamas in Gaza. In all these places the UAE is fighting for injustice and according to a Hadith which I have mentioned above the Prophet Muhammad has clearly said that such people have nothing to do with him. Our Muslim brothers in Sudan are crying for our help and in my opinion Qatar and Türkiye along with other Muslim nations should play a positive role in Sudan to resolve this conflict. They should pressure the UAE to stop backing RSF. All Muslim nations should not turn a blind eye to the conflict in Sudan just like most of them have been doing during the Israeli genocide in Gaza and should safeguard the interest of their Sudanese brothers from other imperialist world powers. I specifically call on Qatar and Türkiye because they are also playing a positive role in resolving the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Ruler of the UAE Bin Zaid should fear Allah if Allah can eradicate the Pharos of Egypt than Allah can also eradicate Bin Zaid's kingdom and Allah will surely hold Bin Zaid accountable for his treachery against the Muslims.
The next thing which I would discuss is the situation in Gaza. The so called peace deal mediated by the US and its puppet Muslim rulers between Hamas and the Genocidal Zionist regime will not last long. From the beginning of this peace deal Israel started to violate this deal which is not new for Israel and its Western allies. The US, Israel and their Western allies have a history of breaking deals. Since the start of this deal not even a single day has passed without Israel violating the peace deal and murdering our Palestinian brothers. On Wednesday 91 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza. Since the start of this so called peace deal Israel has killed at least 222 Palestinians and allowed only 24 percent of the aid trucks to enter Gaza. While all this is happening the Muslim nations are sending a so called peace keeping mission in Gaza under the command of the US not to hold Israel accountable but to confront Hamas and other Palestinian resistance movements. My Question to the Muslim nations and specially to the Muslim rulers is that have you lost your dignity and your faith? Most of the Muslim states were silent during Israel's genocide of the Palestinians infact some of the Muslim nations like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt etc were complicit in Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis were the ones who openly supported and fought alongside Hamas for which they should be appreciated. Qatar and Türkiye did provide little bit of diplomatic support to Hamas however during the most of the Israeli genocide Türkiye was still trading with Israel. Azerbaijan supplied gas to Israel through Türkiye. Pakistan fought well against India for their own defence but did nothing to help the Palestinian resistance against Israel. Infact Pakistan nominated Trump for noble peace prize not once but twice. My Question to the Ummah and to the rulers of the Ummah is that who do you fear more Allah or the US? What is stopping you from helping our Muslim brothers? Israel is very clear in its ambitious goal to form a Greater Israel which would include parts of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. They also have ill intentions of capturing the Holy cities of Makkah and Madina yet most of the Muslim rulers are silent blinded by their Worldly desires. It is this cowardice, selfishness, lack of faith and love for the worldly life that has corrupted the Ummah specifically the leaders of the Ummah. These are the sole reasons for the suffering of our Muslim brothers in Palestine, India, Kashmir, East Turkistan, Myanmar and elsewhere. Allah says in the Quran;
"And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.” [Surah an-Nisa verse no.75]
The last thing which I would discuss is the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan. As of now Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to prolong the ceasefire courtesy the mediation offered by Turkiye and Qatar. Inshallah this ceasefire will last forever. It is a bad thing when two Muslim brotherly nations fight because this makes the enemies of Islam happy. O Allah strengthen the bond between Pakistan and Afghanistan. O Allah strengthen the bond between all of the Muslim states so that we can be united as one Ummah and fight the oppression taking place around the world. O Allah give patience to our Muslim brothers of Kashmir, Palestine, East Turkistan, Sudan and elsewhere. O Allah keep our Muslim brothers who are fighting oppression and performing Jihad steadfast in their resistance against oppression and tyranny. O Allah give guidance to the rulers of the Ummah or replace them with those who are worthy to lead the Ummah. O Allah give us the courage to stand up against our oppressive rulers and against the Injustice that is taking place with our brothers around the world. O Allah bless us with rulers who fear only you and who are not held hostage to their own worldly desires.
