Hadith Regarding Prohibition of Shirk, Slandering others, committing infanticide(killing an infant) and stealing
Narrated Ubada bin As-Samit:
I gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) with a group of people, and he said, "I take your pledge that you will not worship anything besides Allah, will not steal, will not commit infanticide, will not slander others by forging false statements and spreading it, and will not disobey me in anything good. And whoever among you fulfill all these (obligations of the pledge), his reward is with Allah. And whoever commits any of the above crimes and receives his legal punishment in this world, that will be his expiation and purification. But if Allah screens his sin, it will be up to Allah, Who will either punish or forgive him according to His wish." Abu `Abdullah said: "If a thief repents after his hand has been cut off, then his witness well be accepted. Similarly, if any person upon whom any legal punishment has been inflicted, repents, his witness will be accepted." [Sahih al-Bukhari 6801]
Hadith no.293
Hadith Regarding Significance of Waking up for Fajr Prayer
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart." [Sahih al Bukhari 1142]
Hadith no.294
Hadith Regarding Marriage being Recommended for the one who can afford
Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us 0 young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes (from casting evil glances) and preserves one from immorality; but he who cannot afford It should observe fast for it is a means of controlling the sexual desire. [Sahih Muslim 1400c]
Hadith no.295
Sahih Hadith Regarding Virtues of Conveying Knowledge to others for the Sake of Allah
Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The superiority of the learned over the devout worshipper is like my superiority over the most inferior amongst you (in good deeds)." He went on to say, "Allah, His angels, the dwellers of the heaven and the earth, and even the ant in its hole and the fish (in water) supplicate in favour of those who teach people knowledge." [Riyad as Saliheen 1387]
Hadith no.296
Sahih Hadith Regarding Keeping Long hair
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The hair of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) were halfway down his ears. [Sunan Abu Dawud 4186]
Hadith no.297
Hadith Regarding Prohibition of lying about the Prophet Muhammad SAW
Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us that Ghundar narrated to us, on authority of Shu’bah; and Muhammad bin ul-Muthannā and Ibn Bashār both narrated to us, they said:
Muhammad bin Ja’far narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, on authority of Mansūr, on authority of Rab’iy ibn Hirāsh, that he heard Alī, may Allah be pleased with him, giving a Khutbah and he said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, said: ‘Do not lie upon me; indeed whoever lies upon me will enter the Fire’. [Sahih Muslim 1]
Current Political Situation of the Ummah
It has been two weeks since the last time I wrote an article and since then political situation of the Ummah has evolved a lot. The first thing which I will discuss is about the cease fire that has taken placed between Hamas and Israel. Israel couldn't defeat Hamas and our courageous Palestinian brothers on the battle field so they tried to defeat them on the negotiation table but Allah Almighty blessed Hamas with success on the negotiation table as well. Hamas with their political wisdom ruined Trump and Israel's plan to colonize Gaza. Unfortunately the majority of the Muslim countries either sided with Trump instead of siding with Hamas or were silent, During these last two years of Israeli genocide it was supported by the US and the West. The US and the West kept on arming Israel giving them diplomatic and financial aid whereas the Ummah especially the leaders of the Ummah were either silent or they were indirectly helping Israel by not doing any steps to help the resistance against Israel. They even agreed to Trump's 20 points agenda which was just shameful. The Ummah and its leaders feared the US and the West more than Allah. Except Hezbollah, Houthis and little bit of support provided by Iran and Türkiye Hamas was left all alone but they kept on resisting Israel steadfastly. Hamas proved that the resources, manpower or weapons don't win you wars but it is your faith on Allah and your bravely that win you wars. This is a very important lesson that the Ummah needs to learn from Hamas. Even though there is a ceasefire but Israel will try to break this ceasefire so that they can murder more Palestinians. Various Media reports show that Israel is not allowing enough aid trucks to enter Gaza. Israel is still killing People in Gaza and in the West Bank as well. As of now it doesn't seem that this peace will last longer but let us hope for teh best. May Allah give more strength and resilience to Hamas and all the other resistance movements of Palestine so that they can end the Zionist occupation and liberate Al Aqsa and Palestine. May Allah give the Muslim Ummah the opportunity and the courage to help the Palestinians.
The second thing which I will discuss is Syrian President Ahmad Al Shara's visit to Moscow.
Before that I would like to mention few things here. Syria has gone through a lot under the Assad regime and is now going through a transitionary phase. In this phase the role of the new transitionary government is crucial. They have inherited a country which is in ruins and to fix this a lot needs to be done. Ahmad Al Shara and his team are still learning and while doing so it is quite natural for them to make mistakes. It is not easy to run a country that was under years of oppression, civil war and sectarian conflicts. In this crucial phase it is up to Ahmad Al Shara to decide which legacy does he want to leave behind him. Whether he would become American or a Russia like rest of the Gulf States, a bloody dictator like Bashar or someone the Syrians and the restq of the Ummah can look up to. He should learn from the mistakes of the rest of the puppet rulers of Gulf states and make Syria a strong and united nation that is beneficial for the entire Ummah. In doing so Ahmad Al Shara should know which country Syria should be allied with. It is preferable to ally with brotherly Muslim nations like Türkiye. It is also not wrong for any Muslim country to form temporary alliances with the West or even with Russia but these alliances should not serve the purpose of undermining the rights or damage interests of other Muslim countries. As all the Muslims are brother to one another regardless of there sect or ethnicity and this is also what the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad teach us. Prophet Muhammad PBUH forbade us from doing anything that can harm our brothers. The same applies to Syria they can form alliances with any non Muslim country they want but it should not damage the interest of rest of the Muslim countries. I am not against Syria strengthening ties with Russia but my question here is that if they can strengthen there relationship with Russia than why can't they normalize with Iran. In my opinion other brotherly Muslim nations such as Qatar and Türkiye should play a role in mediating between Iran and Syria. Here I would mention another verse of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty says;
"And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers." [Surah al-Shura verse no.40]
Yes I agree that Iran along with Russia were involved in oppressing Syrians but if Ahmad Al Shara can visit Russia than why not Iran? Russia is a Christian county whereas Iran is a Muslim country. Iran and Syria should reconcile as both are Muslim brotherly countries. For this both need to make an effort but more effort needs to be made by Iran as compared to Syria. Iran did a grave mistake supporting Bashar and by oppressing Syrians instead they should have remained neutral during the Syrian revolution. Iran should apologize for its wrongdoings in Syria and should not support those who are working to destabilize the current Syrian regime. They should pay reparations and help Syria rebuild. The same needs to be done by Hezbollah as it was also involved in this oppression. The above mentioned verse of the Holy Quran also suggests this. At the time of conquest of Makkah Prophet Muhammad SAW forgave his enemies and reconciled with them and the Syrians should also act according to this Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The Syrians suffered a lot at the hands of Iran but it can not be compared to the suffering which Prophet Muhammad SAW had to endure at the hands of the disbelievers so if Prophet Muhammad SAW forgave all his enemies why can't the Syrians do the same. Russia and Iran were involved in similar sorts of crimes in Syria so if the current Syrian regime can reconcile with Russia than why is reconciling with Iran such a big problem. I know it would be hard but the Syrians should open their hearts. By forgiving Iran Syria should prove that they have a much bigger stature than Iran and Hezbollah. Syria and Iran should move on as it would be quite difficult for both the countries to tackle their real enemy which is Israel. Instead of fighting each other they should unite and fight against Israel. Israel doesn't fear only Iran or a unified Syria but it fears both of them so why are they fighting each other? Why don't they unite? Both Syria and Iran patronize the Palestinian resistance so why don't they aid the resistance together. Iran should help Syria rebuild and supply them with weapons just like Türkiye is doing. If Iran can supply weapons and help Bashar al Assad's brutal regime than why can't they help Ahmad Al Shara's regime? If Iran is really sincere in its fight against Israel than one of the best things they can do is apologize to Syrians for there wrongdoings, help Syria rebuild and supply them with weapons to strengthen the Syrian army. Iran and Syria will eventually have to normalize someday so why not normalize now? If the current Syrian regime is sincere in its support for the Palestinian resistance than they should try to reconcile with Iran just like they are doing with Russia. In my opinion other brotherly Muslim nations such as Qatar and Türkiye should play a role in mediating between Iran and Syria. Here I would mention another verse of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty says;
"Do not let the people of virtue and affluence among you swear to suspend donations to their relatives, the needy, and the emigrants in the cause of Allah. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love to be forgiven by Allah? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [Surah An-Nur verse 22]
The third thing which I would discuss is the border skirmishes between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is so shameful that two Muslim countries instead of fighting the enemies of Islam are fighting each other. Afghanistan is ruled by the Taliban and although I don't agree with there ideology and their method to implement Shariah in Afghanistan but they are Muslims and Pakistan is also a Muslim country. Whenever two Muslim brotherly nations fight than the enemies of Islam are the ones who benefit from this. As of now the two countries have agreed to a ceasefire mediated by Qatar and Türkiye. It up to Afghanistan and Pakistan that either they keep on fighting each other and in doing so aid the enemies of Islam or to unite to fight against the enemies of Islam. The same can be applied to Iran and Syria and all the Muslim countries who have bad relationships with each other. All the Muslim nations should save their efforts for fighting the enemies of Islam rather than fighting with each other. May Allah unite all the Muslim countries with each other and May Allah guide our rulers.
