In this week's review, we will look into Chapter 2 of the book "Kitab At-Tawhid" which focuses on the concept of Tawhid, the Oneness of Allah. For the past reviews see

Chapter 2 of Kitaabul Tawheed emphasizes the superiority of Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah) and its effect in removing sins. It quotes verses from the Quran and narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to highlight the significance of affirming the Oneness of Allah and avoiding polytheism. The chapter emphasizes that those who truly believe in the Oneness of Allah and do not associate partners with Him will find security and guidance. It explains that testifying to the Oneness of Allah, acknowledging Prophet Muhammad as His Messenger, and recognizing 'Isa (Jesus) as a servant of Allah and His Messenger, can lead to admission into Paradise regardless of one's deeds.

The chapter also addresses the concept of Tawhid, outweighing all other aspects of creation. It highlights the importance of understanding the true meaning of La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah) and refutes misconceptions about Allah's attributes. The significance of believing in the existence of Paradise and Hell, as well as the necessity of practical abandonment of polytheism, is also emphasized.

The lessons derived from Chapter 2 of Kitaabul Tawheed are as follows:

1. The Abundance of Allah's Favor: Believing in the Oneness of Allah and worshiping Him alone brings numerous blessings, rewards, and security.

2. The Reward of Tawhid: Embracing Tawhid and sincerely worshiping Allah without associating partners with Him leads to immense rewards, including the possibility of entering Paradise regardless of one's deeds.

3. Tawhid as a Remedy for Sins: Tawhid has the power to remove sins and purify the heart of a believer. It serves as a means of seeking forgiveness and attaining closeness to Allah.

4. Understanding Surah Al-An'am, Verse 82: Reflecting on the verse helps in comprehending the importance of maintaining a pure belief in the Oneness of Allah and avoiding polytheism.

5. Importance of Ubadah and Itban's Hadith: The narrations of Ubadah bin As-Samit and Itban shed light on the profound meaning of La ilaha illa Allah and expose the errors of those who deviate from true Tawhid.

6. Appreciating the Prophets and Their Status: Recognizing the unique roles and characteristics of Prophet Muhammad and Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) as both slaves and messengers of Allah strengthens faith and highlights their elevated positions.

7. Understanding the Creation of 'Isa: Realizing that 'Isa was created by Allah as His Word and a spirit from Him deepens understanding and affirms belief in the divine nature of 'Isa.

8. Belief in Paradise and Hell: Acknowledging the existence and realities of Paradise and Hell reinforces the concept of accountability and motivates believers to strive for righteousness.

9. Meaning of "Whatever his deeds might be": The phrase indicates that belief in Tawhid and the testimony of faith have a significant weight in the ultimate judgment of a person, although the importance of good deeds should not be underestimated.

10. Significance of the "Face" of Allah: Recognizing that seeking Allah's Face (pleasure) by testifying to His Oneness is a means of attaining forgiveness and salvation.

Praise be to Allah.

When was Hajj made obligatory? The correct belief is that Hajj became compulsory in the ninth year after Hijrah (AH), and it was not made obligatory before that. This decision was made due to the circumstances at the time. The Quraysh, who were in control of Makkah, had prevented the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from performing 'Umrah, and it was likely that they would also prevent him from performing Hajj. Prior to the conquest of Makkah, the city was still entrenched in disbelief, but after the conquest, it was liberated from disbelief. Thus, enjoining Hajj upon the people became appropriate and wise.

The evidence that Hajj became obligatory in the ninth year is the verse in Surah Al 'Imran, where Allah says, "And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka‘bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, for those who can afford the journey" [Al 'Imran 3:97]. This part of the surah was revealed in the year of delegations (‘am al-wufud).

Why didn't the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) perform Hajj in the ninth year? If it is asked why the Prophet did not immediately perform Hajj in the ninth year AH when it became obligatory, the answer is that there were several reasons for this:

1. The large number of delegations that came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in that year. The ninth year AH came to be known as the year of delegations. Receiving the Muslims who came to learn about their religion from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was of utmost importance. It can be considered obligatory for the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to convey the message to the people.

2. In the ninth year AH, it was expected that the polytheists would perform Hajj, as it eventually happened. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) intentionally delayed his Hajj so that it would be exclusively for the Muslims. This decision was fulfilled as announced, "After this year, no polytheist shall be allowed to perform Hajj, and no one shall circumambulate the Ka'bah naked" (Agreed upon).

3. It was a common practice for people, except Quraysh, to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Ka'bah naked, as they did not have appropriate clothing. Only Quraysh could borrow clothing to perform Tawaf. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wanted to change this practice, and by delaying his Hajj, he ensured that people would perform Tawaf in proper attire. This change was implemented, "After this year, no one shall circumambulate the Ka'bah naked" (Al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/14, 15).

In conclusion, there are differing opinions among scholars regarding the exact year when Hajj became obligatory, with suggestions including 5 AH, 6 AH, 9 AH, or 10 AH. However, the most likely opinions are that it became obligatory in either the ninth or tenth year AH. Allah knows best.

And Allah is the source of strength. May Allah bestow blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

This week, we will review the 12th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "From the excellence of a person's Islam is his leaving alone what does not concern him."

Hadith No. 12 emphasizes the excellence of a person's Islam through the act of leaving alone what does not concern them. This Hadith highlights the importance of focusing on matters that are relevant and beneficial to one's faith and life, while refraining from unnecessary involvement in affairs that do not directly impact them.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encourages believers to prioritize their actions and avoid wasting time and energy on idle pursuits or unnecessary interference in the affairs of others. This Hadith teaches us the value of being mindful of our actions and ensuring that our attention and efforts are directed towards meaningful and beneficial endeavors.

By adhering to the principle of leaving alone what does not concern us, we cultivate a sense of discipline and purpose in our lives. It allows us to prioritize our responsibilities, maintain personal boundaries, and focus on actions that bring us closer to Allah and benefit our own well-being and the well-being of others.

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, this Hadith serves as a reminder to evaluate our priorities and not get entangled in gossip, unnecessary debates, or distractions that divert us from our spiritual journey. It encourages us to be selective in our engagements and invest our time and energy wisely, seeking knowledge, performing acts of worship, and engaging in beneficial activities that contribute to our personal growth and the betterment of society.

Lessons from Hadith No. 12:


Importance of focusing on relevant matters: The Hadith highlights the significance of directing our attention and efforts towards what truly matters. By leaving alone what does not concern us, we avoid wasting time and energy on trivial or unnecessary pursuits.

Discipline and self-control: The Hadith encourages us to exercise discipline and self-control by refraining from interfering in matters that do not directly affect us. It teaches us to prioritize our actions and maintain a sense of purpose in our lives.

Mindful engagement: By being selective in our engagements and interactions, we cultivate mindfulness in our interactions. We learn to choose our involvements wisely, ensuring that they align with our values and contribute positively to our personal growth and the well-being of others.

Avoidance of gossip and idle talk: The Hadith serves as a reminder to refrain from engaging in gossip or idle talk. By avoiding such conversations, we uphold the principles of Islam and foster a positive and respectful environment.

Focus on personal growth: Leaving alone what does not concern us allows us to invest our time and energy in activities that contribute to our personal growth. It encourages us to seek knowledge, engage in acts of worship, and pursue beneficial endeavors that bring us closer to Allah.

Respect for boundaries: Respecting the boundaries of others is an important lesson from this Hadith. It reminds us to refrain from unnecessary interference in the affairs of others, promoting harmony and respect in our relationships.

Prioritization of responsibilities: By leaving aside what does not concern us, we prioritize our responsibilities and obligations. This lesson reminds us to fulfill our duties and obligations to ourselves, our families, and our communities, rather than getting entangled in matters that are unrelated or unproductive.

In tonight's episode (episode 43), I began by introducing the topic of differentiation (Program F12, page 315). In the first part of the class, I focused on the concept of finding the gradient of functions, whether they are lines or curves. I explained the process of determining the gradient of a function using the first principle and derived the standard derivatives of various polynomial functions using this principle.

Chapter 1: At-Tawhid (The Oneness of Allah)

In this week's review, we will delve into Chapter 1 of the book "Kitab At-Tawhid" which focuses on the concept of Tawhid, the Oneness of Allah. For the past reviews see [url=https://www.nairaland.com/7694562/lets-start-another-book-reviewhere][/url]


This chapter provides profound insights into the fundamental belief in the singularity and uniqueness of Allah.

The chapter begins by quoting verses from the Qur'an that emphasize the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of false deities. It highlights the divine decree that all individuals, jinn, and humans were created to worship Allah exclusively.

The importance of sending messengers to every nation with the message of worshipping Allah alone is discussed, emphasizing that all prophets conveyed the same religion centered on Tawhid.

A significant aspect of this chapter is the distinction between worshipping Allah and denouncing and rejecting Taghut, which refers to anything worshipped besides Allah. The prohibition of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is emphasized, and the verse stating that disbelieving in Taghut and believing in Allah is the epitome of grasping the most trustworthy handhold is highlighted.

The chapter also explores the importance of clear verses in Surah Al-An'am and Surah Al-Isra, which contain various issues related to Tawhid and the prohibition of polytheism. These verses address the significance of rejecting false gods and the severe consequences of associating partners with Allah.

Furthermore, attention is drawn to the verse in Surah An-Nisa known as "The verse of the ten rights." It emphasizes the worship of Allah alone and the prohibition of associating anything or anyone with Him.

The chapter concludes with the admonition of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) regarding the rights of Allah upon His slaves and the rights of the slaves upon Allah. The concept of hiding certain knowledge for the greater good, the permissibility of selectively imparting knowledge, and the humility of Prophet Muhammad are also mentioned.

Overall, this chapter underscores the crucial belief in Tawhid and the profound implications it has on a Muslim's faith and actions. It highlights the prohibition of shirk, the importance of rejecting false deities, and the significance of worshipping Allah alone. It also addresses various practical and ethical aspects related to Tawhid, such as fulfilling the rights of Allah and recognizing the rights of His slaves.

As we review this chapter, let us deepen our understanding of Tawhid and its significance in our lives. May it strengthen our devotion to Allah and guide us towards righteousness.

- "Kitab At-Tawhid" by Sheikh-ul-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab

This week, we will review the 11th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 11 was narrated by Abu Muhammad, Al-Hasan, son of Ali bin Abi Talib and the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

The Hadith states: "I memorized from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 'Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.'"

This Hadith highlights an important principle of decision-making and guidance in Islam. It advises believers to avoid engaging in actions or matters that create doubt or uncertainty and instead choose paths that are clear and free from doubt.

The wisdom behind this guidance is to protect one's faith, conscience, and peace of mind. Doubt can lead to confusion, hesitation, and even deviation from the right path. By refraining from activities that generate doubt, believers are encouraged to pursue clarity and certainty in their actions and choices.

The authenticity of this Hadith is supported by its narration in An-Nasai and At-Tirmidhi, who graded it as Hasan-Sahih, indicating its reliability.

Reflecting on this Hadith, we can draw several practical lessons. Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding in order to make informed decisions. It encourages believers to acquire knowledge about Islam and its teachings to avoid falling into doubtful matters.

Secondly, the Hadith teaches us the significance of following our intuition and conscience. When we experience doubt or uncertainty about an action, it is a signal that we should reconsider and seek clarity. By listening to our inner voice, we can safeguard our faith and protect ourselves from potential harm.

Lastly, this Hadith encourages believers to prioritize their spiritual well-being and strive for a sense of certainty and tranquility in their religious practices. It reminds us to choose actions, beliefs, and associations that bring us closer to Allah and align with His teachings, leaving behind anything that may cause doubt or compromise our faith.

Motivation
The motivation behind this weekly review of the book "Kitab At-Tauhid" by Sheikh-ul-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab is to emphasize the significance of Tauhid (Monotheism) in Islam. Tauhid (opposite Shirk i.e. associating partners with Allah) serves as the foundation of Islam, and it is crucial for Muslims to have a clear understanding of this concept. Unfortunately, many people, especially in Nigeria, lack knowledge about Tauhid and unknowingly violate its principles. This review aims to address this knowledge gap and highlight the importance of Tauhid in the practice of Islam. It is essential to start this review at this point to educate and enlighten ourselves about the core tenets of their faith as Allah associating partners with Him is an unforgivable act.

May Allah make it easy for us and accept it from us as an act of Ibadah. We start with first Chapter "The oneness of Allah" next week InShAllah.

Many people dislike traveling by car. I know some elderly people who prefer to walk rather than take a motorcycle (okada). Someone told me about a wealthy person who hasn't traveled for Hajj out of fear of boarding a plane.

All of these fears stem from the possibility of accidents that can lead to death, but death can strike anywhere.

Allah says, "Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high!" Or where do we feel safer than in our own homes? We feel relaxed when we are at home, but death can also strike there.

But the question is when, where, and how? Who knows? The answer lies with our Creator, and this timing cannot be changed. Let us prepare every second for the destroyer of desires.

May Allah grant us long lives in sound faith and may we end well.

This week, we will review the ten hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 10 states:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the believers to do what He commanded the messengers. He, the Exalted, said: 'O messengers, eat of the good things and work righteousness.' And He, the Exalted, said: 'O you who have believed, eat from the good things with which We have provided you.'

Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned a man who has prolonged his journey, appearing disheveled and dusty, raising his hands to the heavens and supplicating, 'Our Lord, Our Lord,' while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he has been nourished by what is unlawful. How can he expect his supplication to be answered?"

(Narrated by al-Bukhāri and Muslim)

Below are some of the lessons we can derive from this hadith:

1. Purity in Actions: The hadith highlights the importance of maintaining purity in our actions. Allah accepts only that which is pure, whether it is in our deeds, intentions, or provisions. It serves as a reminder for us to be mindful of the halal (lawful) and haram (unlawful) aspects of our lives and strive to adhere to what is permissible.

2. Following the Commands of Allah: The hadith mentions that Allah commands believers to follow the same guidance given to the messengers. This implies that we should not only focus on our personal desires or opinions but rather adhere to the divine instructions and teachings found in the Quran and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) Sunnah.

3. Importance of Halal Consumption: The hadith emphasizes the significance of consuming lawful and permissible food and provisions. We are encouraged to eat from the good things that Allah has provided us. This highlights the need for practicing halal dietary habits and being conscious of the source and quality of our food.

4. Futility of Unlawful Supplication: The hadith presents a scenario of a person in a desperate state, raising their hands in supplication, but their sustenance and provisions are from unlawful sources. It teaches us that engaging in haram practices while seeking Allah's assistance or supplicating for our needs is contradictory and may hinder the acceptance of our prayers.

5. Reflecting on Unlawful Actions: The hadith invites us to reflect on our actions, particularly those that may involve unlawful means. It prompts us to evaluate our choices, seek repentance for past wrongdoings, and make efforts to rectify our conduct by adhering to the halal and avoiding the haram.

Overall, the hadith encourages us to cultivate purity in our actions, intentions, and provisions, and to be mindful of the importance of following Allah's commands and seeking lawful means in our daily lives. It reminds us of the relationship between our actions and the acceptance of our supplications by Allah.

To be continued InShaAllah!

Today, I continued exploring functions from Program F11, starting from frame 75 on page 307 of the book. I explained the concepts of odd and even functions and discussed their properties. I also explained how to identify whether a function is odd, even, or neither. Building upon these ideas, I derived the hyperbolic cosine and sine functions.

Being Content: A 'BULLET PROOF' Quality

One of the most important qualities that a human being should strive to acquire is contentment and the ability to not feel sad when someone else is blessed with a favor that one doesn't have. This is a difficult trait to cultivate, but when achieved, it can bring immense happiness. Let us pray that Allah grants us this great quality.

This "bullet proof" was inspired from one of by one of my beloved teachers, Ashayk (Dr) Sharafudeen Gbadebo Raji's lecture (may Allah be pleased with him and ease his affairs in this world and the hereafter). During one of his weekly sittings (I think Al-adab mufrad class), Shayk was explaining why it is essential not to be sad if Allah favors someone else.

Shayk narrated a story about Shayk Ibn Baaz, Shayk Albanny and their students. It was reported that students used to inform Shayk Ibn Baaz that many people attended Shayk Albanny's sittings more than his own but surprisingly, Shayk Ibn Baaz replied by quoting this verse of the Holy Quran
"ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٤,"
meaning "This is the favor of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty."

Imagine if we all could adopt this mindset when someone close to us is favored by Allah with any blessing we are also looking forward to.

As human beings, we often feel sad when someone else receives a blessing that we were also hoping for. We may be saddened when a friend succeeds, forgetting that Allah has given us other favors that our friend does not have. For instance, if your friend ypu graduated together, got employed, and you are still searching, you should not be sad because Allah might have compensated you with a happy family (with children) while your friend is still waiting for the same after years of marriage.

Similarly, your friend might win a contract that you were competing for, and you may feel sad and harbor hate towards him, forgetting that he is nursing an illness that you do not have. SubhanaLlah!

My friends, let us be grateful for what Allah has done for us. We cannot have everything in this world, and some blessings may be delayed, but we must not take each other as enemies or harbor hatred on some.

When I look at what Allah has given me, which you don't have, and you look at what Allah has blessed you with, which I lack, we would appreciate each other and not let envy or jealousy take hold of our hearts.

May Allah forgive us and grant us contentment (Aameen).

geesilver:
Mashallah..... OP can you please do more clearification on the no.2 excessive questioning. I have some concern about the excessive questioning.... Curiosity is another reason we have a lot of discoveries and inventions by nothing doing much might limit the brain not to function to its full capacity...... In sciences question are mostly unlimited in other to come about new things

As scholars interpret this, some questions are deemed unnecessary. One of my teachers, Ustadh Eleyinke, gave a scenario of what happened between Prophet Musa and the children of Israel. When they were asked to sacrifice a cow, they kept questioning the Prophet about the specifics such as the color, height, and weight of the camel until Allah recommended a very expensive solution known as sofroy.

We have come to the end of our review on the etiquette of using the phone in Islam. I hope that you have gained some valuable insights and practical tips on how to use this technology in a way that is beneficial and respectful to others.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on what you have learned from the book so far!

This week, we will review the eight hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 9 states:

Abu Hurayrah reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: "Whatever I forbid you, stay away from it, and whatever I command you, do as much of it as you can. For verily, the people before you were only destroyed because of their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets." (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Below are some of the lessons we can derive from this hadith:

1. The importance of obedience to Allah and His Messenger: The Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed his followers to avoid what he has forbidden and to do what he has ordered to the best of their ability. This highlights the importance of following the guidance of Allah and His Messenger in our daily lives.

2. The danger of excessive questioning: The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned that excessive questioning and contradicting the prophets before them led to their destruction. This shows the importance of avoiding unnecessary questions and trusting in the guidance given by Allah and His Messenger.

3. The consequences of disobedience: The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned his followers of the destructive consequences of disobedience. This highlights the seriousness of disobeying Allah and His Messenger and the importance of striving to do what is right.

4. The importance of learning from the past: The Prophet (peace be upon him) referred to the destruction of those before us as a lesson to be learned from. This highlights the importance of studying history and learning from the mistakes of previous generations.
