Excerpt From Book, Qur’ān

Master of the Day of Judgement

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

The Day of Judgement is the day appointed by Allāh to recompense good or evil deeds. The world is only the field of action, the place where one is required to perform one’s duty and not the place of receiving one’s reward. The mere fact that man happens to be healthy and wealthy or powerful does not necessarily mean that he has won the pleasure and favour of Allāh. Similarly, the mere fact that a man happens to be ill, poor or weak does not indicate that he is the object of Allāh’s wrath.

The water of ZamZam is for that which it is drunk

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

A scholar of Ḥadīth writes, ‘I reached the Ḥaram for Ẓuhr Ṣalāh after performing wuḍu. With only five minutes left for Maghib Ṣalāh, I developed an intense urge to attend the call of nature. I thought, ‘If I go back to attend the call of nature, I will not be able to return for Ṣalāh on time. Hence, I feared that my Ṣalāh would become qaḍā, while at the same time the urge to relieve myself was so intense that I feared I may spoil the Ḥaram.

Hurt people hurt people

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Hurt people hurt people. Many of our criticisms are written because we’re hurt somehow, not because we’re defending Islam. If there’s religious evidence to support our case, it’s naturally used for our case. Sometimes we’re purely emotional, sometimes it’s a mix of desire to defend the truth and desire to follow our negative emotions. In either case, we should be careful with our intentions, especially if we’re students and teachers who have access to knowledge.

Exam Time!

December 30, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

It’s the time of the year where we as students push to our limits, late nights, early mornings, additional prayers, supplications and excessive Dhikr. The thought of failure during from an exam aside, there are perks of having them too! It allows us to dive into our books, unearth the gems we zoomed past the first time. Surely you’ve experienced the same.

I pray Allah creates ease in all our exams, and more so the main test of the hereafter. May He عز و جل allow us all to succeed with amazing results, and make it a means of pleasure for our parents and teachers. May He عز و جل remove pride or jealousy that this period may erupt, and May He make it pass with ease.

Please remember me in your humble Du’as.

Titles of Narrators

December 30, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

When reading ḥadīth, names like “‘AbdAllah bin ‘AbdarRahman” etc. are usually what we read and find normal, but then we may encounter titles like “Ghundar” or “Masrūq” and “Ābil Laḥm” and wonder, what a strange and abnormal-sounding-like name?

The atheists and the Imām

December 27, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

A group of atheists once approached the great Imām, Abū Ḥanīfa (Allah have mercy on him) with the intention of killing him. The Imām asked them what they would say about a person who claims that he has seen a ship laden with goods sailing in the sea transporting the goods from one shore to another. The goods are piled into the ship automatically and similarly off-loaded by themselves upon reaching their destination. The ship navigated the waves perfectly all by itself with no sailor to steer it.

They replied that no sent human would accept such a nonsensical contention. Thereupon the Imām remarked: “Pity upon your intelligence. If a mere ship cannot sail smoothly without a sailor how can it ever be possible that this entire universe runs so perfectly without a controller?” Upon hearing this they were utterly embarrassed and immediately accepted Islam at the hands of the Imām.
