Thanks for the educative post.

May Almighty Allah reward you abundantly!

Aameen

He (Sheikhul Islam IbnTaymiyyah) was asked about a man who prays a grammatically blundered prayer,then a person said to him:

“Allaah will not accept a prayer that is grammatically wrong”

He responded:
Whoever uttered this statement has committed a sin and gone against the Book (Al-Qur’an), Sunnah (of Allaah’s messenger (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him)) and what the salaf (pious predecessors) were upon.

Whoever calls on Allaah purifying the religion for him (i.e. with Islamic monotheism) and with a permissible prayer, Allaah will listen to him and answer his prayer, whether it is grammatically correct or wrong.

Therefore, the above mentioned statement has no basis. Rather, it is necessary for the praying person not to burden himself with grammar if he is not used to grammar. Some of the salaf said:

If grammar comes concentration goes.

Also, it is disliked to burden oneself with rhyming in prayer but if it occurs without burdening then there is no problem. (This is) because the origin of prayer is from the heart and the tongue is only following the heart.

Whoever makes his goal in prayer to be straightening, (then) his tongue will weaken the concentration of his heart and this is why the anguished makes a prayer that is inspired to him and he never knew before. And this is a matter that every believer finds in his heart. So prayer is permissible in Arabic and in other than Arabic.

Allaah the exalted knows the intention and will of the caller, even if his tongue is not straight because he knows what the voice mutters irrespective of the language and irrespective of the needs.”

End Quote

From Tasheeh-Du’a by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd. May Allaah have mercy on him and Sheikhul Islam.

There's a clear text from the messenger of Allaah (commenations and peace of Allaah be upon hm) urging us to hasten our Iftar. There's absolutely no room for any person's opinion -irrespective of his status or knowledge- in the presence of a verse of the Quran and/or authentic Sunnah. We seek Allaah's aid from following our desires.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The people will continue to be fine so long as they hasten to break the fast.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1957; Muslim, 1098). See also question no. 49716).

And peace be upon whoever follows guidance.

Fundamentalist:
He created a thread and I challenged him to produce a hadeeth for a particular subject and he ran way .

Till today all he tells me is to check Bukhari and Muslim .

That hadeeth must show up

That is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for him.

May Allaah rectify him.

Fundamentalist:
I'm still waiting for my hadeeth

No peace for the wicked

He will never be able to produce it.

No time for fruitless arguments.

All these brainwashed nitwits Sha. Guy can u back up this with evidences? Cuz I need to examine how sound you're mentally before embarking on a drag with you. But if in case you have vital references, then we can embark on a debate. I promise you defeat inshaAllah.

cc: lalasticlala mynd44 let other Muslims see the principles of Halal and Haram in Islam. Happy Jumat Kareem to fellow Muslims, May we live long to witness more(Aameen).

They have all been brainwashed. They all say the same thing word-for-word like programmed robots.
for example:
Why do women use niqab in saudi?
Brainwashed folks say it's oppression by men

Then ask: but they also use it in non-muslim countries.
They say it's internal oppression

They always have excuses for their misguidance.

10 Principles Of Halal And Haram In Islam by Hashimyussufamao(m)
https://www.nairaland.com/3966696/10-principles-halal-haram-islam#59141194

The problem is that Shaitan has made people think Alubarika (blessing) is by touching "holy" people, and places.
When actually, the first, primary and sure source of Barakah is in Tawheed (Islamic monotheism), Obedience to Allaah and following the sunnah of his messenger (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him). We ask Allaah for safety and protection.

Everyone wants to be famous

It’s a truth that none of us can deny. Everyone wants a name on the tongues of people around the world. And in all honesty, there’s nothing wrong with this if we are using fame for the right reason such as bringing about change, justice or the benefit of others. But the problem is when we want to be famous for the mistake of being famous. And today with Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter this message has never been more important.

You see today we are actually seeing people who are willing to do anything for a couple of likes, literally, anything. Even if it means ignoring their moral principles or putting their own lives at risk… anything to be famous. But let me shed more light on this feeling that we are chasing.

For starters, fame is lie, it’s an illusion, its fake, and if you achieve some sort of fame it will be short lived and, like every other thing on the surface of the earth, it will eventually fade away.

One day you’re the most important guy that ever lived, next day you are some small worker in a box factory

The Simpsons: Bart Gets famous

And if you don’t believe me, take a look at the past, how many of the celebrities from the fifties, the sixties or even the seventies can you recall? Let alone the centuries of people before them. And likewise the people of today will soon be forgotten tomorrow. It’s a sad reality but a reality that nonetheless we all must come to terms with.

But don’t get too upset just yet because there is some good news and there still is a way for your name to actually remain remembered in a way that actually does last forever.

How so?

Well, we need to stop searching for fame with people and start to be famous with the creator of people … ALLAAH… Because when Allaah remembers you and when Allaah admires you, nothing else matters.
So how can you be famous with Allaah?

Three things

You need to remember Allaah
You need to love Allaah
And you need Allaah to love you too

For every time you remember Allaah, Allaah will remember you. And if you want to be sure that Allaah loves you then you have to follow His messenger Muhammad (solla Allaahu alyhi wa sallam). For when you follow him Allaah will love you too.

And know that if Allaah loves you he instructs the entire heavens and angels to love you too. So much that His love for will be manifest on this earth amongst the people. Yes, when Allaah loves you people will love you too and many people will remember you.

Look at the likes of Muhammad Ali who used his fame for the sake of good to benefit all of humanity. Look at the scholars of the past who we all remember today for the good that they spread. Look at the companions and lastly, look at the prophet Muhammad (solla Allaahu alyhi wa sallam) the most famous man on the face of this earth today.

So If you want to be famous, be famous with Allaah, for nothing else matters but him.

This article is the third part of a series of enlightenment on the concept of love.

Here is the link to the first part:

How You Were Taught to Love

And Here is the link to the second part:

CUPID, PSYCHE AND PLEASURE
https://pristinecreed.com/2017/12/cupid-psyche-and-pleasure/

Though we advise that you read the first two parts, but if you decide not to do so there is no problem. You will still benefit from this article.

HOW YOU WERE THOUGHT TO LOVE: "YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE"
Remember the golden rule,’ your orientation about love determines your LOVE LIFE (Why you love, what you love, how you love and HOW YOU EXPECT TO BE LOVED)’. Let’s begin.

A sister once condemned us Sunnis regarding love; she claimed we don’t know how to love!

Another sister clearly mentioned it’s the reason they date non-Muslims!

Unlike what they opine, Love is not strange to the sunnah. Let’s head right home to our library of hadeeths since a Muslim should be certain prophet has left nothing un-addressed.
An hadith in the Saheeh Al-Jaami’ (no. 5200) of the great Scholar of hadith ( Al-Albaany) quotes ‘Ibn A’bbaas said a man came to the holy prophet (peace be upon him) and mentioned they had an orphan(female) who has two suitors; one rich and the other poor (and definitely both Sahaabas being religious). She yearns (by love) for the poor one but we want the rich one. Then, the messenger of Allah mentioned:

We know nothing better for two lovers than marriage

The concept of love is known to the Sunnah.

But, how do we love? It’s certain if you question one of those who believe Sunnis can’t love, they won’t give a specific answer. You could get answers like,’ You know, there are SOMETHINGS you should do to show some love ‘. Some might mention some of those things and what “A” will demand differs from what “a” wants.

Note: none of these things will exceed what was learnt from the movie-world. Here are a few I should mention.

Your Love, Your world:

When you fall in love, your life should preach it. Your partner should surface in every drop of your world. Your work, play, sleep, food, family and dreams should speak it all; “Love is in the air”. Your social accounts (DP, status and cover-page) must have a slice of the pizza. Everything should be about this new love.

Sweet talk:

You can’t love if you can’t sweet-talk. Sugar-coated calls, talks and chats would make any woman tailing you till death do you part. Write poems, letters and daily messages to get them.

Pampering with wealth and attention:

For women, no love without this. Spoil her in spending and attention. At availability of funds, love demands you spend. Go shopping, take an expensive holiday trip, buy her a dream car and the list goes on; buy and keep buying. With or without wealth, utmost attention should be given. You notice when an eye-brow is missing, her dog coughed at night, even when she forgot to iron an inch area of her clothing.

“I LOVE YOU”:

You should learn to say this every minute of the day. Tell her before she sleeps, in her dream and wake her up with these words. Call her at office, amidst friends and after some minutes you departed to say: “I LOVE YOU”. “Oh! He is such a cool lover “, they would report about you.

All before Marriage:

You should prove yourself worthy before marriage. A taste of how lovely you could be is needed before tying knots. Which is the major problem; most of these claims come from those that have not had an inch of the sunnatic love. Yes, some tasted the bitter part of marrying a Sunni just as many have tasted the wrath of their lover-boys. “LOVE IS REAL”, they still claim. “SUNNATIC LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUE LOVE”, we are sure of. May Allah help us uphold the Sunnah in loving.

Accept! Accept!! Accept!!!:

(This point is deadly!) If you love him/her, you accept everything about him/her. The good, the bad and the ugly are all welcome. Bad habits are not to be condemned. Just love and love on. They want to be accepted for who they are and yet they seek specific attributes for a spouse. And if they are not accepted for who they are, they want to leave- why can’t they accept not being accepted? Bad habits (they acknowledge are bad) parents, siblings, friends and colleagues frown at are to be accepted by the partner. The deceptive outcome is “He/She is the only one that understands my feelings”.

Monogamy:

It’s a fact they have worshipped; you can’t love two/three/four with one heart. True love should prevent looking elsewhere. Our religion is not for deception. Words like “Cheating on me” and “He is a player” show how much they deceive themselves. These so called “players” are excellent in loving; they kill each prey with these emotional bribes to hide flirty affairs. In-fact, most don’t trust their partners but opine, “at least he should hide ‘it’ from me”. Mothers love their husband and children. It’s wrong to think Islam invented polygamy. Islam only accommodated the nature of men. Polygamy had long existed before Islam.


Cautioned Permissibility

The sunnah is not explicit in approval or rejection of the first four points (‘Your Love, Your world’, Pampering with wealth and attention, Sweet-talk and saying “I LOVE YOU”). They are all welcomed as long as none of the bounds of sharia’ are broken.

In-fact, instead of the popular “Val Day” to show love, the sunnah recommends every minute to show love to our wives. Dr Riyaadh Husain (one of the major students of Shaykh Al-Albaany) mentioned, “As for we Muslims, we worship Allah through being good and showing affection to our wives every time we have the opportunity to do so. No hour of the day or even minute except our tongues and actions profess our love for our wives …. For this, showing love is from the Ihsaan (perfection of worship) that Islam preaches. It is one of the means of achieving love and mercy and a path to fulfilling the rights of marriage. Whatever is needed to fulfil a Waajib (obligation) is obligatory”

Danger Ahead

Emotional or romantic attachments before marriage are Haram as it could – and it does- lead to Zina. They have not known how much a sunni could love since a Sunni won’t date or court. Dating became a norm amongst Muslims long ago. There are in-fact Muslim dating websites and platforms. Muslims today ‘Islamise’ every kind of evil.
There is a deadlier and more deceptive version of dating among some niqobites/jilbaabites/nisfu-sakites. They “Jilbaabised” their own kind of dating. It’s a kind of an un-announced dating life. He won’t ask her to date him and she won’t mention she fell for the bro. But there is that mutual affection. It originates from having spent so much time doing things together. Tutorials, business, attending lectures/meetings together b and so on had reduced the distance and ignited a mutual attention. She could tell him things beyond the norm. They both know so-and-so is a step closer than other brothers and sisters. It grows and becomes as hidden as the 14th day moon! – everybody knows the issue between them is at least not ordinary. May Allah save us from the plots of Shaytaan.

‘Accept! Accept!! and Accept!!!’ is an animal lifestyle inherited from western affiliations. It’s one of the aftermaths of their freedom-of-this-and-that. Sadly, all bad habits today are preached to the youth as a part of them they don’t need to fight. A bad habit permitted in the home is an eternal scar for the kids. Instead for couples to adjust to fit needed attributes for the home, they lazily hunt for an all-accepting spouse.

Regarding Love and Monogamy, we should not shy away from facts. TWO FACTS are germane; MAN IS NATURALLY POLYGAMOUS and WOMEN NATURALLY HATE POLYGAMY. That most (if not every) traditional cultures permit polygamy proves the one-man-one-wife motto was only ignited by the west; western trends are known of been far from every normal human instinct. The second fact needs no proof. These two facts should be understood by the fear of Allah.
Last fact: a man can’t love two or more wives equally is an opportunity for each wife to ensure she is the favourite. If these facts and natural instincts are ignored, they will be accepted the hard way.

THE SAD TRUTH

We emphasized your orientation about love determines your love life (Why you love, what you love, how you love and HOW YOU EXPECT TO BE LOVED). The claim Sunnis can’t love right is because the orientation about love has been derailed by fictional love stories. Their deceptive expectations from a lover can’t be satisfied by a Sunni (because of his religious commitments), thus they concluded he can’t love. Worse than these are some niqobites/jilbaabites who have not gotten a niqob/jilbaab for their emotional demands. They are eager for marriage with great expectancy of derailed emotional fantasies. When these demands are cautioned by religious orientations, they blame the marriage. They have not accepted Islam into their love lives.

The TV stars that teach them the assumed right way of loving via films and music don’t have steady marriages. These stars divorce and get divorced too frequently and hardly stick to family lives. It’s either these stars don’t live by what they preach or their preaching can’t sustain their marriages. Stupidity lies in both possibilities.
A list of Hollywood marriages that stood the test of time quoted, ’Hollywood marriages are known to be notoriously short, but a few couples have remained happy together for decades’. Another list of Nollywood (Nigerian Hollywood) stars whose marriages have stood the test of time opined, ’In an industry separation and divorce are rampant, it seems good to celebrate some Nollywood stakeholders whose marriages seem to have stood the test of time ’. Local and international ‘ollywoods’ are in consensus celeb marriages hardly last long.

TRUE LOVE

A’ishah (the wife of the prophet- peace be upon him) narrated (a manifestation of true love),’ The prophet entered my room one day and saw some silver rings on my hands and said, ’ What is this, A’ishah ’
I answered, ‘I wear them to beautify myself for you, O messenger of Allah’
(then the prophet asked) ‘Do you pay Zakat from them?’
I answered, ‘No, or what has Allah ordained? (I.e. She asked if she needed to pay Zakat from them)’
(then the prophet answered) ‘ They suffice you as a punishment in HELL (i.e. if she does not pay it)’ ‘ – Sunan Abu Dawud (graded Sahih by Al-Albaany)

Alright imagine that. A woman beautify herself for her hubby and the next statement is to frighten her off with HELL. I am sure if that happens in a soap opera, the next scene will be the woman crying and reporting to her friends; ‘How could he be like that? Is it wrong to look beautiful for one’s husband? ’

That narrated in the Hadith was easy since both parties understood the conclusion of this article. SHOWING LOVE IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE LIMITS OF ISLAM and once the bounds of Islam are broken, love is cautioned.
The prophet (peace be upon him) was no longer bothered by her emotional advance since a religious crime is obvious. We don’t pamper or accept showing love by sacrificing the rulings of the Sharia.
Brothers, don’t try that with your wife if she won’t understand. Be gentle with her until being realistic will help her learn and not make cry.

So, watch your emotional demands and commitment and keep them all behind religion.
Our next and last episode will be ‘LOVING RIGHT’.

Answered By Sheikh his emminence Sheikh AbdulAzeez bn AbdiLLaah bn Baaz.
former Grand-Mufti of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

How do we instruct (the dying person to say shahaadah)
It should be said to the dying person, say: laa ilaaha illaa Allaah, remember your Lord. If he says it good, the dying person should not be shouted upon till he says shahaadah, if dhikr is done beside the dying person and he repeats it good and praise be to Allaah.

Is facing the dying person to the Qiblah legislated
Yes, that is encouraged according to the people of knowledge because of his statement (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him): the Ka’bah is your Qiblah (direction); (when) alive and (when) dead.

What is the manner of facing the dying person to the Qiblah
He should be placed on his right side, with his face towards the Qiblah as is done in the tomb

Is it permissible to kiss the dead
There is no problem in kissing the dead if the woman who kisses him is one of his mahram or it’s a man that kisses him as Abu Bakr Siddeeq did to the messenger )commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him(.

Is it allowed for the washer to ask the family of the dead used to observe solah or not?
As long as he is apparently a Muslim and those who brought him are Muslims there’s no need to ask them. Some people may take that with levity which leads to leaking secrets, so also in solah upon, questions should not be asked about him if he is apparently a Muslim.

If the deceased had instructed that a particular person should wash him, should his instruction be acted upon?
Yes, his instruction should be acted upon.

Is it right for a man to wash his wife or a one or two years old daughter when she dies?
There is no problem in a man washing his wife and the woman washing her husband; because that has been reported in the sunnah from the messenger of Allaah and the pious predecessors of this ummah. But, it is not permissible for the man to wash other women than his wife including his mother …

Is it permissible to take away the moustache, armpit hairs, nails and pubic hairs?
Reducing the nails and moustache and trimming the nails is encouraged, but I don’t know any evidence for shaving the pubic hairs and removing the armpit hairs, it is better to leave them because they are hidden unlike fingernails and moustache.

If a person dies with golden tooth on him should it be removed from him if he owes debt even if the removal will not be easy or it should be left if there’s no debt on him?
If a person dies with gold or silver tooth on him there’s no problem in leaving it if pulling it will not be easy whether he owes a debt or not… if pulling it is easy it is obligatory to do so because it is wealth and should not be wasted.

Should the one who committed suicide be washed and prayed upon?
Prayer should be observed on the one who commits suicide and he should be buried in the cemetery of the Muslims because he is a sinner not a disbeliever; suicide is a sin not an act of disbelief. If a person kills himself –we seek refuge with Allaah- he should be washed, shrouded and prayed upon, but it is good for the grand Imam and those who have importance to avoid observing solah upon him as a deterrent; so that the people will not think he is pleased with the act. It is good if the grand Imam, Sultan, judges, head of towns or their Ameer avoid such (i.e. avoid attending such solah) to serve as a deterrent for this act and declaration that this is a misdeed but some people should pray on him.

I wish that you explain the way to observe Solah on the deceased as has been established from the messenger of Allaah because many are ignorant of it.
The messenger (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him) and his companions (Allaah be pleased with them) have explained the way to observe solah of the deceased (Janazah).
It is that he first makes takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) then he seeks protection from the cursed shaitan then he mentions (the name of Allaah i.e. bismiLLaahi-r-Rahmaani-r-Raheem) and he recites suratul fatihah and a short chapter or some verses, then he makes tekbeer (says Allaahu Akbar) and he recites solah upon the messenger as he recites at the end of his (other) solah, then he makes a third tekbeer and prays for the deceased, the most preferred is to say “Allaahumma ighfir li hayyinaa wa mayyitinaa wa shaahidinaa wa ghaa’ibinaa wa sagheerinaa … Allaahumma laa tuharrimnaa ajrahu wa laa tudhillanaa ba’dahu”
All these were memorised from the messenger (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him)… then he should make a fourth tekbeer and wait a little, then he should make a single tesleem to his right by saying: Asssalaamu alykum wa rahmatuLLaahi wa BarakaatuH.
It is recommended for the Imam to stand by the head of the male (corpse for prayer) and at the waist of the woman because it has been authentically reported from the messenger in the hadith of Anas and Samurah bn Jundub. But the statement of some scholars: The sunnah is to stand by the chest of the man, is a weak opinion which has no evidence as much as we know.
The deceased should be faced to the Qiblah while performing solah on him because of the words of the messenger (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him) regarding the Ka’bah: “It is the direction of the Muslims; dead and alive”.

Is it right to specify a part of the cemetery for women and a part for men to make it easy to recognise the buried?
I don’t know any basis for this, what is legislated is that the grave should be for everyone because of the ease and simplicity in it also because this is what the Muslims have been upon since his time (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him) till our time-according to our knowledge- Baqee’ (a cemetery at Madeenah) contained both men and women during his time (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him). Every good is in following his way and the way of his companions and those who followed their way rightly.

Introduction

And they were not commanded but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him alone[1]

Narrated Ameerul Mumineen Umar bn Khattaab:

I heard the messenger –commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him- say:

Indeed actions will be judged according to intentions, and every person will only be rewarded for his intentions. So whoever his migration is to Allaah and His messenger –commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him- then his (reward is the reward of) migration to Allaah and His messenger –commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him- but whoever his migration is for the worldly life or a woman he wishes to marry then his (reward is his) migration to what he has migrated to.[2]

Ibadah (worship) must satisfy two conditions otherwise it will be rejected and will be a source of regret. We ask Allaah for safety. These conditions are:

# Ikhlaas (sincerity) and

# Conformity with the Quran and Sunnah (mutaaba’ah).
Definition of Ikhlaas (Sincerity)

Firstly,
Ikhlaas (Sincerity) is that the servant intends to get closer to Allah with his deeds[4]. Ikhlaas is when you perform an act worship in order to get the love, pleasure and reward of Allah and to be saved from the anger and punishment of Allah especially in the hereafter.


Dangers of not Being Sincere

The messenger of Allah –commendations and peace of Allah be upon him- said in a hadith narrated by Abü Hurairah:

“Allaah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said[5]:

“I am the least in need of a partner. Whoever does any deed in which he associates someone else with Me, I will reject him and his deed.”[6]

Ways to Achieve Ikhlaas (Sincerity)[9]

Supplication to Allaah especially using the authentically reported prophetic supplications and also striving to increase in supplication at the recommended hours and places
Seeking knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah as understood and practiced by the companions (Allaah be pleased with them)
Pondering on the Verses and Hadiths that are related to Ikhlaas (sincerity)
Always having in mind that Allaah has perfect knowledge of the concealed and revealed, and He will reward each person based on his intentions and actions
Constant checkup on ones intentions and aims in every deed because a person might start a deed with sincerity but later deviate due to evil whisperings from the cursed shaytaan. May Allaah save us from his evils.
Reading aspects of seerah (prophetic biography) which are related to the topic of Ikhlaas (sincerity)
Constant reading and listening to stories of our righteous predecessors such as the companions (Allah be pleased with them) and those who came after them
Reading some books written on the topic of Ikhlaas (sincerity)
Always remembering that death can come suddenly and there is no way to make amendments once it strikes

Conclusion

This is what I have been able to compile in the works of our past and present scholars. I ask Allah to forgive whatever shortcomings are found therein. Aameen Aameen.

All praise belong to Allaah Who raises in degree those who believe among us and (raises further) those who have been given knowledge. May His commendations and peace be upon His noble messenger who was sent with knowledge, guidance, and every good, (may His commendations) also be upon his household and companions; people of knowledge, piety and lofty ranks.

The role of students of knowledge in Ameliorating social vices was written in Arabic by Ustadh Muhammadul-Awwal Amubieya for Markaz Salafiyyah li Tahfiz Qura’an Ede, Nigeria on 8/10/2017 please click here for the Original Article in Arabic www.fawaidulama..com/2017/11/dawru-tulab-ilm-Abumieya.html

To proceed:

Indeed Allah sent His messengers successively and revealed to them books of truth, guidance and knowledge and He made them bearers of good news as well as warners in order that mankind will have no plea against Allah after the messengers. He also obligated, upon His messengers, delivery of His message to the creations. They fulfilled this trust in the best way and strived tirelessly in its course till they delivered the message of their Lord, they have died but have bequeathed this divine and heavenly knowledge.

From the grace of Allaah and His mercy is that He selected some people for the conveyance of this knowledge; holders of pen and guardians of The Book and Sunnah, they are the ones referred to as students of Islamic knowledge, from the era of the messenger’s companions –commendations and peace of Allah be upon him. Allah named them scholars because they are the students of His messengers therefore they are the most pious people after the messengers, Allah the most Exalted said (interpretation of the meaning):

Those who truly fear Allaah among His servants are the (Islamic) Scholars^[1]

They are also the best of the Ummah as the messenger of Allaah –commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him- said:

The best of you is the one who learns the Qur’an and teaches it^[2].



They attained the highest ranks, because the first role they played in this life was to ignore the worldly life; thus they acquired its prestige, honour and nobility. AI-Imaam Ash-Shaafi‘ee said:

Wash your hands off the world and its people

And beware of their love, (if you do so) you will achieve from its good


Then, they adorned themselves with praise-worthy character and esteemed attributes, such that they ascended in humility as they ascended in knowledge. Their noble behaviour and attributes resulted in their outstanding erudition, thus, their knowledge benefitted them and they benefitted their society. This is because good character is the trusted guard of knowledge and is like the vessel with water since drinking or receiving water is not impressive except in a beautiful container otherwise the people will flee from knowledge (as they flee from an ugly cup).

Beyond this, they followed knowledge up with practice therefore succeeding greatly and their knowledge became a continuous charity for them.

Their knowledge endowed them with sincerity and Allaah in return made them leaders of the pious.

So their role in the society is the best of roles because they are the commanders of good and the forbidders of atrocities, the approvers on Allaah’s behalf for mankind, the inheritors of the prophets and the conveyors of the message of Allah’s messengers, they treat the ailments of the society with perseverance, patience, forgiveness in times of ability (to revenge), shyness, accommodation, affection, leniency and mercy to all the creations, also fulfilling promises, joining family ties, justice, trustworthiness, virtuousness, and truthful speech, calmness, gallant character, gentleness, asceticism and taking little from the world, and fear of Allah in seclusion and in public.

I will conclude this article with what As-Sakhaawee^[3] said about the scholar of hadith As-Shummunnee in “ad-Daw’ul-laami‘ li’ahli-l-Qarnit-taasi‘” (9/75):

May Allaah reward the scholars of hadeeth greatly,

and preserve them forever in highest of ranks.

If not their concern for hadith,

negation of different types of falsehoods,

spending of their lifetime in seeking it,

and searching for it with continuous seriousness.

The jurist wouldn’t have been able to differentiate,

the authentic hadith from the weak and bogus.

And he wouldn’t have known what was briefed in the Quran,

and we wouldn’t have known the obligatory from the voluntary.

They indeed spent for it priceless souls,

thus they gained the present and the future.

Therefore, their love is an obligation upon every Muslim,

and non antagonizes them except the ignorant
