Chapter_ THE STORY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE DITCH, THE MAGICIAN, THE MONK AND THE SLAVE:

By_
Suhih Muslim _ Book 42, Number 7148:

Suhaib reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) thus said: There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician.As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic.He (the king) sent to him a young man so that he should train him (in magic).And on his way (to the magician) he (the young man) found a monk sitting there.He (the young man) listened to his (the monk's) talk and was impressed by it.It became his habit that on his way to the magician he met the monk and set there and he came to the magician (late).He (the magician) beat him because of delay.He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me.And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me.It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior.He picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely.He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely).He (the young man) then came to that monk and Informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me.Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue.That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy and he in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness.When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me all these things collected together here would be yours.Be said: I myself do not cure anyone.It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you.He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before.The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight?He said: My Lord.Thereupon he said: It means that your Lord is One besides me.He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy.The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things.Thereupon he said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures, and he (the king) took hold of him and began to torment him. So he gave a clue of the monk.The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion.He, however, refused to do so.He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down.Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion.Arid he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down.Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion.He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers.And he 'said to them: Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain).So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: O Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions?He said: Allah has saved me from them.He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water).So they took him and he said: O Allah, save me from them and what they want to do.It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions?He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do.And he said: What is that?He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree).Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the worlds; then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me.So he (the king) called the people in an open plain and tied him (the boy) to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple.He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man.The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting.They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord.He (the king) commanded ditches to be dug at important points in the path.When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in that. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion) till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth. 



******************************************
Allah said in Qur'an: 
(Cursed were the People of the Ditch. Of fire fed with fuel. When they sat by it. And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers. And they had no fault except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, Worthy of all praise! To Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything.)

রাসূলুল্লাহ (ছাঃ)-এর ছালাত বনাম প্রচলিত ছালাত **-আব্দুর রাযযাক বিন ইউসুফ (পর্ব-২৫)

By_
  **-আব্দুর রাযযাক বিন ইউসুফ (পর্ব-২৫) সালাম ফিরানোর পর সাথে সাথে উঠা যাবে না : সালাম ফিরানোর পরপরই তাড়াহুড়া করে উঠে যাওয়া খারাপ অভ্যাস। এ খারাপ অভ্যাসকে ছাহাবীগণ কঠোরভাবে দমন করেছেন। আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনে রাবাহ (রাঃ) নবী করীম (ছাঃ)-এর ছাহাবীগণের একজন হতে বর্ণনা করেন, রাসূল (ছাঃ) আছরের ছালাত আদায় করেন। সালাম ফিরানোর সাথে সাথে একজন লোক দাঁড়িয়ে যান। ওমর (রাঃ) তাকে দেখতে পান এবং ঘাড় ধরে বলেন, বসে যান। নিশ্চয় পূর্বের লোকেরা ধ্বংস হয়েছে একারণে যে, তারা দুই ছালাতের মাঝে বিরতি দিত না। রাসূল (ছাঃ) তখন ওমর (রাঃ)-কে বললেন, ‘তুমি ঠিক করেছো’। [1]  এ হাদীছ প্রমাণ করে, দুই ছালাতের মাঝে বিরতি হতে হবে এবং তাসবীহ, তাহলীল ও যিকিরের মাধ্যমে কিছু সময় অতিবাহিত করতে হবে, তারপর অন্য ছালাত আদায় করতে হবে। সালাম ফিরানোর পর মাথায় হাত রেখে দু‘আ পড়া যাবে না : সালাম ফিরানোর পর মাথায় হাত রেখে দু‘আ পড়ার প্রমাণে কোন ছহীহ হাদীছ নেই। এ আমল পরিহার করতে হবে। আনাস (রাঃ) বলেন, রাসূল (ছাঃ) যখন ছালাত আদায় করতেন, তখন ডান হাত তার মাথায় রাখতেন এবং বলতেন, ‘আল্লাহর নামে শুরু করছি যিনি ছাড়া কোন মা‘বূদ নেই, যিনি পরম করুণাময়, দয়াল...

Fatwa বিবাহ ও তালাক

By_
  প্রশ্ন (৩৫/৪৩৫) : ওলী ছাড়াই এক মেয়ের বিবাহ হয়েছে। বিবাহের এক মাস পর মেয়ের অভিভাবক মৌখিক সম্মতি প্রদান করেন। পরবর্তীতে ছেলে তিনবারে মেয়েকে তিন তালাক প্রদান করেছে। এক্ষণে প্রশ্ন হল, ওলী ব্যতীত বিবাহ বৈধ হয়েছে কি? বিবাহ শুদ্ধ করার জন্য অভিভাবকের মৌন বা মৌখিক সম্মতিই কি যথেষ্ট? নাকি পুনরায় ঈজাব-কবুল আবশ্যক? উক্ত তালাক কি কার্যকর হয়েছে? মেয়েকে পুনরায় বিবাহের মাধ্যমে গ্রহণ করা যাবে কি?  উত্তর : উক্ত বিবাহ সিদ্ধ হয়নি। কারণ রাসূলুল্লাহ (ছাঃ) বলেছেন, যে নারী অভিভাবক ছাড়া বিয়ে করল তার বিয়ে বাতিল, বাতিল, বাতিল (তিরমিযী হা/১১০২; আবুদাঊদ হা/২০৮৩; মিশকাত হা/৩১৩১)। যেখানে বিয়েই হয়নি সেখানে মৌখিক বা লিখিত সম্মতিতে বৈধতার কোন প্রশ্নই আসে না। অতএব অভিভাবক কর্তৃক সম্মতি দানের পর পুনরায় সুন্নাতী তরীকার নতুন করে বিয়ে করাতে হ’ত। কিন্তু সেটাও করা হয়নি। তাই ছেলে কর্তৃক তালাক দেয়া অর্থহীন। কারণ তাদের বিয়েই হয়নি। তারা ব্যভিচারী। এমতাবস্থায় প্রথমতঃ তাদের কৃতকর্মের জন্য তওবা করতে হবে (যেহেতু ইসলামী শরী‘আতের শাস্তির বিধান আমাদের সমাজে নেই)। দ্বিতীয়তঃ অভিভাবকের সম্মতিতে পুনরায় বিয়ে করতে পারে। কারণ রাসূলু...

Bilqis(Queen of Sheba): Tafseer of Ibn katheer : Qur'anic Story

By_

Bilqis(Queen of Sheba) Allah the Almighty says: {He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? "I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason." But the hoopoe stayed not long: he (came up and) said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba' (Sheba) with true news." "I found a woman ruling over them: she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Shaitan (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way: so they have no guidance." [As Shaitan (Satan) has barred them from Allah's Way] so they do not worship (prostrate themselves before) Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in th...

Moving the finger during Tashahhud _ Important Masala-Masael,

By_
Image
Firstly:  It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to point with his index finger and move it during the tashahhud when praying.  The scholars differed concerning that and there are several points of view.  1 – The Hanafis say that the finger should be raised when saying “Laa (no)” in the phrase “Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (I bear witness that there is no god except Allaah)” and it should be lowered when saying, “ill-Allaah (except Allaah).”   2 – The Shaafa’is say that it should be raised when saying “ill-Allaah.”  3 – The Maalikis say that it should be moved right and left until one finishes the prayer.  4 – The Hanbalis say that one should point with the finger when saying the name of Allaah, without moving it.  Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There is no basis for any of these definitions and manners in the Sunnah. The closest of them to the correct view is the Hanbali view, were i...
