Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger―they will be with those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour from among the Prophets, the truthful who aided the truth, the martyrs and the righteous―how excellent these companions are!” (An-Nisā’: 69) : QUR'AN TAFSEER

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions.

Allah, the Most High, said:

وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقًۭا

“Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger―they will be with those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour from among the Prophets, the truthful who aided the truth, the martyrs and the righteous―how excellent these companions are!” (An-Nisā’: 69)

A’ishah (radiyallāhu ‘anhā) said: A man came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and said: “O Messenger of Allāh! You are more beloved to me than my wife, my wealth, my property and my son. I was in my home and thought about you and I was not able to be patient until I had come to you and saw you. And when I think of my death and your death, I know when you enter Jannah, you will be raised to the levels of the Prophets (‘alaihimus-salām). And if I enter Paradise, I fear that I will not see you.” So the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) did not answer him with anything until Jibreel (‘alaihis-salām) descended with this Āyah: “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, they will be with those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour…”[1]

Regarding the saying of Allah in this Āyah: “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger…” Ibn Katheer (d. 774H) stated: “Whoever acts on the commands of Allah and His Messenger; and abandons what Allah and His Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) have prohibited, Allah will settle him in an abode of honour and generosity―and He will place him in the company of the Prophets (‘alaihimus-salām), then those after them in rank and they are the Siddīqoon (the truthful who aided the truth), then the martyrs, then the believers in general, and they are the righteous (Sālihoon) who do good in private and in public. After mentioning them, Allah praises them by saying, ‘And how excellent these companions are!’” (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/522).

A’ishah (radiyallāhu ‘anhā) said that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) would say, “No prophet dies until he sees his place in Jannah and then he is given the option [to choose this life or the Hereafter].” So when he (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) suffered from illness on his deathbed, he became unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he looked up into the sky and said: “With those upon whom Allah has bestowed His Favour from among the Prophets, the truthful who aided the truth, the martyrs and the righteous―how excellent these companions are! O Allah forgive me, have mercy on me, and unite me with the highest companionship.“ So, from that, I knew he had chosen the Hereafter. (Bukhāri 4437, Muslim 2444)

‘Amr bin Murrah Al-Juhani said that a man came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and said: “O Allah’s Messenger! If I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah, and I pray the five daily prayers, I pay the Zakāh, I fast the days of Ramadān and I stand in prayer during its nights―who will I be among?” The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) answered: “You’ll be with the those who believed and aided the truth and with and the martyrs.” (Saheeh Ibn Hibbān, no. 3429)

Rabī’ah bin Mālik Al-Aslami (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “I spent the evening with the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and I brought him water for ablution and whatever else he needed. He said to me: ‘Ask me what you want.’ I replied, ‘I ask for your companionship in Jannah.’ He said, ‘Anything else besides?’ I replied, ‘That is all.’ So, he said, ‘Then help me to to get that for by devoting yourself to plentiful prostrations (Sujood).’” (Muslim, 489)

Ibn Katheer stated: “Greater than all this is what has been authentically reported in the Saheeh of Al-Bukhāri, and in the Musnads and in other books of hadeeth through multiple narrators and chains of narration (mutawātirah) from a group of the Sahābah that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) was asked about a man who loves a people―will he be united with them [in the Hereafter]? So he (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) responded, ‘A person will be with the ones he loves.’ Anas (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said, ‘There was nothing that gave more joy to the Muslims than this hadeeth.’” (Reported Bukhari no. 6169, Muslim no. 2640; see Tafseer Ibn Katheer 1/523)

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The people of Paradise will see the inhabitants of the dwellings above them just as you see the shining stars which remain in the eastern and western horizons because of the excellence and virtue that some have over others.” They asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! Are these lofty stations for the Prophets that no one besides them can attain?” He replied, “Rather, by the One in whose Hand is my soul, it is for those who believed in Allah and confirmed the truthfulness of the Messengers.” (Bukhāri no. 3256 and Muslim no. 2831)

We ask Allah to unite us with the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous on the Day when neither wealth nor children will benefit us―a Day where only a sound heart and pious deeds benefit. And all praise is due to Allah―may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions and true followers.

[1] Reported by At-Tabarāni Al-Mu’jam As-Sagheer 1/26; Al-Haythami said in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) that all the narrators are narrators of Sahīh Al-Bukhāri except Abdullāh bin ‘Imrān and he is trustworthy (thiqah). And this narration is supported by the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbās cited in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) and that has in its chain ‘Atā bin As-Sā’ib and he used to mix up narrations. Imām Muqbil Al-Wādi’i stated in his book, As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min Asbāb an-Nuzool (pp. 70-71): It has been reported by Abu Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah (4/240, 8/125) and Al-Wāhidi in Asbāb an-Nuzool with this chain of narration―and Ash-Shawkāni stated: Al-Maqdisi declared the narration to be hasan and it has support as mentioned in the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer (1/523) that strengthens its validity.

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

  **-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...
