Comments:
Lexically the term inziirz is fanned from (Amuna). And the term Alizuiza
signifies to make free from fear. But generally this expression is used lo mean
to believe, to accept or to t est a. In the Glorious Qur'2n and the Hadi e or
the Traditions, the telms Z~nziin and Islam are generally used synonymously.
But sometimes distinction is made between them from lexical point of view.
'Say: You believe not (lam tz*h?inli), but say: We have submitted (Aslanmd)'
(49:14). Here the term Islam stands for apparent obedience and I I ? ~ for the
faith in the heart. According to the majo~ity of the people of lcnowledge
among Companions oi the Prophet & and the followers, Inziirz is affirmation
with the tongue, testification with heart and action by limbs of the body.
Concisely, statement and action is called Z~niin (Faith), because attestation
(Tasdiq) which translates into action is in reality the action of the heart.
Likewise, according to the people of the Sumah, Zi?zlFn continues to increase
or decrease due to vaiious causes. Tlie people of the Sunnah do not exclude
anyone who testified to Islam from the fold of Islam due to their sin while the
Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij do exclude them Gom Faith. The Jalzini~yalz and
the Muijialz do not reclton action as necessq. Acco~ding to them, only
testification is enough.

Comments:
This Faith is the root of action, without which the tree of Faith and Islam
cannot be visualized at all; and without it no good action gives any benefit.
When this Faith exists, one's entrance into Paradise is absolute, or after
undergoing punishment. In this narration, Faith has been stipulated as action.
This corroborates the statement that actions are part of Faith.

1. So to speak, the real eminence resides in sincerity; in whatever thing it might
be whether it is in striving in the way of AUAh, or in the acts of Pilgrimage.
2. In response to the question concerning the most meritorious act, various
narrations have come. Reconciliation between them is: AllWs Messenger &$
has responded in accordance with the conditions and keeping in view the
questioner. In certain circumstances, some particular deed is supremely
meritorious, in some other condition another! In the same manner, for one
person, a particular deed is meritorious, for someone else, another.

Comments:
When man's Faith deepens, he feels delight in the worlcs of Faith, as common
people feel delight in eating, drinking, and other pursuits of merrymaking.
And he considers himself fortunate on account of his Faith. But this is a lofty
station.

Comments:
It has preceded that Islam and Imin are often used for the same meaning.
This narration also corroborates it. In the previous narrations, Faith was used,
in this Tradition the same attributes have been mentioned as being the cause
of the sweetness of Islam.
Chapter 5. Islam's Description
4993. 'Abdulliih bin 'Umar said:
"Umar bin Al -mat t i b told me:
'While we were with the Messenger
of AU%h +g one day, a man
appeared before us whose clothes
were exceedingly white and whose
hair was exceedingly black. We
could see no signs of travel on him,
but none of us knew him. He came
and sat before the Messenger of
Allih g, putting his knees against
his, and placing his hands on his
t hi ghs , t h e n h e s ai d: " 0
Maammad, tell me about Islam."
He said: "It is to bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship
except AU5h and that Muhammad

establish the Salih, to give Znkrih,
to fast Ramadh, and to perform
Hajj to the House if yon are able to

Comments:
1. 'A man appeared before us': means he was not seen coming from a distance.
We saw him close by. Moreover, from 1 ~ s hair and attire, one could presume
that he had emerged from his house, having taken a fresh bath. But no one
recognized him either. So to say, he looked like a wayfarer.

2. 'He sat': means he sat down before the Prophet g as disciples sit before their
mentors, folding his legs at the knees.
3. 'We were amazed': because one's asking is the evidence that one is unaware
of that thing, but if he affirms or bears witness to it, it assuredly reveals he is
learned or erudite. In actuality, he maintained vagueness in all his affairs
which caused amazement.
4. 'Does not know more' means I do not possess more knowledge concerning
the Day of Judgment than you, or the one being asked does not know more
than the one who is asking about the Day of Judgment. The meaning is no
one bows about the time of the appearance of the Day of Judgment.

ever touched his garments. He
came near the edge of the rug and
greeted him, saying: 'Peace be

returned the greeting, and he said:

tell me, what is Islam?' He said:
'Islam means to worship AUah and
iiot associate anything with Him; to
establish Salrih, to pay Zaeh, to
peifoim Hajj to the House, and to
fast Ramadin.' He said: 'If I do
that, will I have submitted (be a
Muslim)? He said: 'Yes.' He said:
'You have spoken the tiuth.' When
we heard the man say, 'You have
spoken the truth,' we found it odd.
He said: '0 Muhammad, tell me,
what is faith?' He said: 'To believe
in Allih, His Angels, the Book, the
Prophets, and to believe in the
Divine Decree.' He said: 'If I do
that, will I have believed?' The
Messenger of Allih gg said: 'Yes.'
He said: 'You have spoken the
truth.' He said: '0 Mulmnmad, tell
me, what is AI-I!zsinl?' He said: 'To
worship Allih as if you can see
Him, for although you cannot see
Him, He can see you.' He said:
'You have spoken the truth.' He
said: '0 Mul>ammad, tell me about
the Hour.' He lowered his head
and did not answer. Then lie
repeated the question, and he did
not answer. Then he repeated the
question (a third time) and he did
not answer. Then he raised his
head and said: 'The one who is
being asked does not know more
than the one who is asking. But it
has signs, by which it may be
Icnown. When you s ee t he

things which no one knows except
Allih. Verily, Allih, with Him
(alone) is the knowledge of the
Hour up to His saying: 'Verily,

1. 'Ayyrim At-Tashriq': The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days of the month of
Dhul Hijjah are called Ayyrim At-Tashliq, the Days of Tashriq. This
announcement was made on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. These
days are called the Days of Tashriq because on those days, they used to cut
the meat of their sacrificial animals into strips and dry them in the sun. Pieces
of jerked meat (Qadid) are also called Sharriiq.
2. 'Except a believer': means one whose Faith has passed beyond his tongue. He
only is entitled to enter into Paradise, whiie a sinful believer would enter
Paradise in the end. A disbeliever, however, would never be able to enter
Paradise.

These are the apparent attributes of a Muslim. After the obseiGance of the
two testifications, fcom among the worships, only the ritual prayer is such a
worslup that could become a symbol or hallinarlc of Islam, because fasting is a
hidden thing. Zakah is not obligatory upon each and every person. The
Pilgrimage is pesformed once in a lifetime and required upon those who can
bear it.

'When someone becomes a good Muslim' means his heart also harmonizes
with his tongue, and his Islam passes beyond his tongue and descends into his
heart and reaches all his bodily organs and limbs. He neither remains a
hypocrite nor a transgressor.

Comments:
In this chapter, the objective of the author (May Allih be pleased with him) is
to demonstrate that all Muslims are not equal in Islam and Faith. Rather the
Islam and Faith of some happen to be deep, of some shallow. And this
deficiency and fullness occur from the angle of deeds as well as from the
angle of the inner state of the heart.

1. 'Should change it with his hand' meaning if he has the authority, the power,
and the ability, as indicated because the average person is not allowed to take
the law in his own hand; it would othetwise give birth to anarchy. The
implementation of the presc~ibed legal punishments is also the responsibility
of the government. Individuals may not implement them, nor are they
commissioned or charged with tallying it out. That is why Allih's Messenger
stipulated the condition of ability.
2. 'Then with his tongue': This is evelyone's responsibility when capable, except
for when there is the difference of the ranks; For example, children in front
of parents, students in front of the teacher, the ruled in front of the ruler; and
slaves in front of the master do not have the ability to speak out. Or when
there is the risk of losing one's life, as it comes in the forthcoming narration.
3. 'With his heart' meaning he must at least believe it is evil, and the Prophet gg
included this among Faith.

Comments:
Here hypocrite does not signify creedal or doctrinal, because one cannot
become aware of it except by way of Walzy or Revelation. Rather, action-
related or practical lipoci-ite is meant, meaning whose works are like those of
hypocrites. And these works are in reality the works of hypocrites.

'The true Religion ( Di r z ) is easy' means the commandments which have been
stipulated by Allgh, Most High, are not beyond the capability of man. They
could be practiced with ease, because All&l~, Most High, does not burden any
soul with more than he is able to bear. This, however, does not mean the
work which appears diiicult cannot be religious. For a dishonest man, each
and eveIy work and aspect of the religion is difficult.

The recitation of the Noble Qur' h and the performance of ritual prayer have
been compared to fragrance, because both are apparent. It appears that the
objective behind narrating this report here is to underscore the reality that
faith increases and decreases, because dates and citrus hi t s do not possess
the same sweetness. They differ in their taste and flavor. Likewise, the
believers too are not identical in faith.

to trim it; when it begins to fall into the mouth, etc. Otl~emise, it is not
necessaly to trim it everyday, nor is it enough to cut it once or twice during
the whole lifetime.

Comments:
The unbelievers used to leave a lock or two in the name of some idol, etc.
while shaving the head, as nowadays some ignorant people grow a tassel of
hair on their heads in the name of their spiritual mentor, while shaving the
rest, although such glorification of someone other than Allah, Most High, is
unlawful. Therefore, Alsh's Messenger forbade it. This, however, does not
mean that one ought to shave the hair from parts of the head equal in length.
Rather the prohibition is in shaving part and leaving part from around the
ears so that they do not hang into the ears. And if from tbe upper part of the
head they are cut less, then there is no harm in it, provided they present a
look of evenness or symmetry.

Comments:
1. 'Curly': It is possible his hair had a natural curl from b i i . It is also possible
that his hair had formed curls due to their having been long. Long hair
generally have the tendency to form curls.
2. 'Between his ears and his shoulders': It appears that he used to have his hairs
clipped off below his ears, and when it would reach his g$ shoulders. Other
versions mention it touching his shoulders. See Al-Bzl&riri No. 5903. and No.
5063 which follows. Some versions appear to use "bnin" to refer to the
shoulders, in which case it means his g shoulders were broad. Both are
correct.
3. These narrations prove the allowance to clip one's hair.

1. 'Like Ahii Hurairah': This comparison could be concerning the period of
time too; that he also stayed with the Prophet $$$ for four years. AbO
Hurairah &+ arrived in the year 7H . and the Prophet @ passed away in the
third month of the year I1H. Or the comparison could also be in its nature
or particulars that, as Ahii Hurairah 8 stayed all the time with the Prophet
g; in the same manner this dignified person also used to remain in the
company of the Prophet g.
2. 'Combing the hair daily': Because one's combing the hair daily provides the
evidence that they are given to preening themselves excessively, and this trait
is generally found in women. Either such a person preens and spruces himself

and keeps himself attractive like women, wl~icli puts other men to the test and
cause them to go astray, or if he does so in order to attract women toward
him, then he would cause mischief among women. Men sl~ould not have
excessive inclination toward preening and beautification, othenvise they would
give rise to evils.
3. The unmistakable outcome of one's not combing the hair daily would be that
they would be prompted lo have regular haircuts, so that the need for
combing the hair daily does not remain. Herein lies the correlation of this
chapter with the theme.

In order to hold the hair of the children in place, they used to be braided, so
that the hair do not get defiled while playing and sporting around. When the
child would become sensible, there remained no need for braidmg the hair.
The gist of the matter is that he was just a child. From this Had&, the

peimissibility of plaiting the hair becomes known.

1. 'Perhaps': This was in fact a prediction that 'you would live for a long time
after my passing away'. And that was the case. Ruwayfa' died in the year 53
H. and he was the last of the Prophet's Companions who died in Africa.
2. 'One who hot s the beard 'Knotting' means knotting the hair of the beard
into a tangle so that it appears small. This is an unnecessary and unrealistic
contrivance. It is, therefore, forbidden. Or it means denotes tying the hot s
out of arrogance and pride, as proud and ovemeening people used to tie
knots in battles. Or they probably tied lrnots so that they might not face any
hindrance while fighting. So to speak, tying the knots was synonymous with
fighting a battle. And All& knows best.
Some have understood it to mean that one should not fiddle with one's beard
whiie performing the ritual prayer. Or one should not tie knots in one's heard
before commencing the prayer with a view to protecting it from dust, as
Al l a s Messenger @ has forbidden one's tying the hair of the head and
collecting one's clothes during prayer. In other words, one should not merely
continue to wony about saving one's body, etc., from dust. One should rather
pay heed to praying the Salrih.
3. 'Hangs an amulet': It is 'wearing a bow string as a necklace. Watar s i me s
the hip sinew or the vein of the sacrificial animal. It happens to be extremely
strong. The bow is stringed with it, so that it could discharge the arrow afar

due to its flexibility. During the period of Jahili~~ala, people would get this
vein-string sufflated or blown upon by a soothsayer and then wear it round
the neck, so that they could guard themselves against evil eye. Since the
sootl~sayers used to recite polytl~eistic phrases, it was forbidden. Or a bell,
etc., used to be strung round the necks of animals. It was forbidden because it
was a means to caution the enemy. Or it was forbidden to tie the necks of
animals with the string, because it used to be very hard and sharp. There was
likelihood of the animal getting suffocated or his neck being slit, and they say
it was all done for protection; hence, it involves @irk!
4. Cleansing (Istiitja) after defilement by various types of bodily discharge with
the dung or bone of animals. Such things do not cleanse. It was, therefore,
forbidden to use it as a means of cleansing. Moreover, it is the food of Jinn.
Dung is nevertheless lice filth.
5. 'Has nothing to do with': This is a rebuke and reprimand, because these are
evil deeds, and some of them can be considered airlc.

Graying is a sign of oldness or old age. When gray hairs begin to appear, they
obdurately continue to appear. It is useless to pluck them out. Moreover,
plucking gray hairs is a trick that deceives people, and deception is not
permitted. Dying the gray hair has been allowed since it is not an attempt to
permanently alter it. See what follows.

Comments:
When both are mixed well, the color does not remain utterly black, but
becomes slightly inclined to reddishness. Consequently, the possibility of
deception does not remain. The woad or indigo dye obtained from the leaves
of the plant called Katariz should not be in excess. Rather redness ought to be
apparent in it. Katariz are the leaves of a tree: mimosa flava. It grows in
Yemen. This dye applied with Hefzna to the hair is said to preserve its original
color. Its color is black with a touch of redness.

Comments:
@aMq is a feminine fragrance, which is made out of saffron and some other
ingredients. Its color happens to be yellowish-red. Since it is for the use of
women, men have been prevented from using it. The Prophet might
perhaps have used it. Or something else which had a similar appearance as in
the previous narrations, or gotten it on his garments from touching his wives.
And Allah knows best.

Comments:
1. 'He disliked them': Some of the above-quoted deeds or acts are absoiuiely
['I Ki'ib is plural of Ka'b and here it refers t o bones taken from the b e e s of sheep which
were used in gambling similar to dice. Hence, it is considered to also apply t o that.
The meaning of 'Azl is to withdraw prior t o ejaculation, which was a practice
implemented to prevent pregnancy.

& +)I y - "G
unlawful and some reprehensible or undesirable. The expression 'dislike'
could be employed for both of them.
2. 'Applying Klzalirq': Please see Hadig 5088.
3. 'Changing gray hair' meaning by dyeing it black.
4. 'Dragging one's Zzrir': See Chapter 101.
5. Dice: Other texts mention "Nard" for dice, and Gapanj or backgammon.
6. 'Not permissible for her to show it' means a woman's displaying her
beautification in front of someone other than husband. This is unlawful.
7. 21-Mu'liwigZt.' meaning the last two SLirahs of the Qur'an, in whicli Allih's
refuge is sough(; or other such reported prescriptions for Ruqyalz.
8. 'Hanging amulets': Beads, amulets, or talismans, whicli are worn to ward off
evil.
9. 'In other than the right place': Meaning to pullout during intercourse, so the
semen does not enter tlie woman's designated, lawful location.
10. 'Taking a way the milk' means to have coitus during the period of lactation,
because if pregnancy occurs during the period of lactation, the breast-milk
becomes injurious to the child. In the circumstances of weaning the child off
its mother's milk, the health of the child is likely to be adversely affected. This
is, however, reprehensible or undesirable. It is not unlawful.
11. 'He did not say that this is Harlini': Some venerable individuals have stated
contemning this phrase that Allill's Messenger did not like all tlie above-
described things, but lie did not lule them unlawful. But this is wrong,
because there are quite a ilu~nber of things quoted above, which are unlawful,
it rather refers to the last act mentioned.

Comments:
1. 'Withdrew his hand from it, or he refrained from laying hand upon it': Lest it
might be the hand of a woman, because AUSs Messenger g never touched
the hand of a marriageable woman.
2. 'You would change your nails with Henna': It is one issue that a woman
should not keep her hands identical to those of men, but she should rather
necessarily tint the entire hand or at least the tips of the fingers, so that
distinction could be made. Otherwise, a mistake could be committed. It is a
different thing that due to his having been extremely cautious, the Prophet
made no mistake. But his apprehension proved right. It, however, does not
mean that if you had tainted your hands with Henna, I would not have
withdrawn my hand.

Comments:
1. Filing (the teeth): Old women or women advanced in age, in order to
resemble young, used to file their teeth so that they might look young.
2. 'Tattooing': With the intention of beautification, a picture or design was
masked on a person's skin by making small holes in the skin with a needle; it
was then filled with antimony or any other hue or color.
3. 'Plucking out hair' means gray hairs, or the women plucking out the hair of
their eyebrows, making them thinner, or while wailing. All of these are
prohibited. Some scholars consider i* to refer to plucking any hair aside from
the pubic and underarm region, saying that plucking is more pennanant, and

shaving or the like is allowed. This is the view of m a d .
4. 'With no barrier': People of the period of Ignorance did not consider it necessary
to have somethiog between man and man, and between woman and woman.
5. 'Bottom of his garment': Meaning the hem or edges.

ZLIWI: (False impression) refers to falsehood in general, saying or testifying to
what is not true. The author included it here to indicate the reason for
prohibiting extending the hair. And he named this chapter: "With cloth"
because some scholars before him allowed extending the hair with substances
other than hair. While these narrations indicate that the prohibition applies to
anything used for such purpose.

Comments:
1. 'Consumes Ribri' whether he consumes it or puts it to any other use, because
the use of interest or usurious gain is forbidden for one's self, in any form.
2. 'The one who writes it down' because this person also becomes a helper in
the perpetration of an enormity or a major sin.
3. 'If they know': means the individuals concerned have the knowledge that it is
a usurious transaction. Ignorance is forgivable.

4. 'One who reverts to the life of a Bedouin'. See No. 4191.

'The woman who tattoos': This work is unlawful, whether a woman does it or
a man. Since women used to generally practise it, feminine gender was
employed.

tattoos was brought to 'Umar and
he said: 'I adjure you by Allih, did

In the Had?& 5094, it has preceded that during the period of Ignorance,
women were in the habit of filing their teeth to make them thinner. The
intention was to make the teeth appear separated from each other. The same
thing has been alluded to in this Ha d i ~ by making spaces between the teeth
(for beautification). This is unlawful.

indulge in for the sake of beautification are in reality synonymous with
disfiguing a human's natural or primordially inherent form, although due to
their having cormpt disposition, they visualize it as beautification.

Allih's mercy be upon him. 'Men's perfumes' are which have fragrance but no
color. Colored perfumes are for women, for instance, saffron, etc.
['I 'Anbnr, which has been called ambergris and then amber in later times, is named after

1. 'Whose color is hidden': Men's perfumes may contain light color wluch is,
however, apparent when loolced at from a distance, for instance, the hue of
musk. In the same mannel; women's perfumes may contain slight fragrance. If
it is not sensed by passers-by, then there is no harm in it, because Allsh's
Messenger i!g did not negate it, he rather said, 'whose scent is hidden.' So to
speak, there is no harm if there is a slight scent.
2. If a woman is in the house of her husband, and if she does not go out, she
may also use a stronger fragrance.

'Do you have a wife?' The purpose of the Messenger of Mi l l @ was to
underscore that the perfume was allowed for his wife. A mark of the perfume
might have remained upon him due to his interaction with his wife. If it was
so, the11 there was no harm, because he had not applied it deliberately. But if
it is applied deliberately, then it is not allowed.

Comments:
The reiteration of washing it up again and again is only for emphasis so that
one washes it well and he does not go near it again. The reiteration of AbC
Ya'la too is the expression of his acceptance of this emphasis or insistence.
He did not even allow that notion to occur in his heart again.

her having been an adulteress that she exhibits her adornment to people, so
that people might be drawn to her and desire her.
Chapter 36. Women

Performing Glzusl To Remove

5130. It was narrated that AbC
All2h $g said: 'If a woman goes out
to t he Masjid, let her perform
Glausl to remove perfume as she
would perform Ghusl to remove
Ja~zribala (impurity following sexual
activity)."' This is an abridged form
of it. (Salzilz)
The Book Of Adornment ... 88 . +, I &$ &++I +,.$
Comments:
1. 'To the Masjid' means going out of home, whether she goes to the mosque, or
to someone's house, or to the f m . The mosque is specifically mentioned,
because it is the place of purity. Fragrance is extremely superior therein, but a
woman may not perfume herself even whiie going to the mosque. Hence,
other places are out of the question.
2. 'Perfo~m Ghusl', because the pernme touches from one part of the body to
another. The effect of perfume, therefore, would not be obliterated unless
one takes full bath.

Women Attending The Prayer

Themselves With Incense
(YV L A l )
5131. I t was narrated that AbB
All2h @ said: 'If a woman has
perfumed herself with incense, let
her not attend 'Is&?' prayer."'
(S@ih)
Abii ' Ahdur-Rabhn (An-Nad'i)
said: I do not know of anyone who
followed up Yazid bin KJusaifah
(by also narrating) from Busr bin
Sa'eed, for t he saying of AbB
Hurairah. Ya'qBb bin 'Abdullhh
Ibn Al-Ashajj contradicted him, he
reported it from Zainab A&-
Thaqafiyyah.
Comments:
Bakhar means incense; when lighted with fire, its fragrance is sensed, as are
incense sticks, etc. in modem days. It is not permissible for a woman to go out
of home, applying any kind of fragrance, whether she goes to the mosque or
anywhere else. The Isha prayer is specifically mentioned, because incense
would be humed more at that time for various reasons.

This narration does not connote that women may anive for the other
remaining prayers (other than the 'I&ri') perfumed. Rather, the 'I&ri' prayer
was particularly mentioned, because it is the time when women generally
perfume themselves, as is described in Had?& 5131. In other versions going to
the Masjid in general is mentioned.

'In small pieces or fragments': The Arabic expression used in iMnqta', means it
ought to be small in size and used in various places, for instance, on the hilt
of the sword, whether it is in the form of 631 or ruffle or fluff or in the form
of dots. The entire hilt may not be gilded. Likewise, there could be gold flakes
or marks upon a silver ring. In the same manner, if silk is also utilized in the
form of fragments upon another cloth, in small or tiny size, then there is no
harm in it.

1. Allib's Messenger g had not worn the gold signet-ring for adornment. But
he had it made for sealing. That is why he wore it with the stone turned
inward toward palm, whereas those who wear it for adornment keep the stone
outside on the back of the hand.
2. 'I shall never wear it again': So to say, the permissibility was abrogated. In the
forthcoming narrations, there is clarification regarding its unlawfulness.
3. 'So the people threw their rings away': Following the Messenger @.
4. Other narrations cxplain that AllWs Messenger then got a silver ring
fashioned so that he could seal letters and ordinances or commands with it.

Gourd containers and pitchers smeared with tarcoal happen to be without
pores. If Nabidh is made in them, it soon produces intoxication. That is why
during the period of Ignorance, people had kept these vessels especially for
brewing wine. Allih's Messenger @, therefore, forbade the use of these
utensils for making Nnbidh in the beginning. Later on, he gave permission,
provided it did not produce intoxication. (Detail has preceded in its place).

bin 'Umair said: "Sa':a'ah bin
Suwhin came to 'Ali and said:
"Forbid to us from that which the
Messenger of All& @ forbade to
you." He said: "He forbade us
from Ad-Dubbt', Al-Hnntarn, An-

us from gold circles (rings),

An-Naqiv: A large vessel used to be fashioned by hollowing out tbe root or the
lower part of a palm tree. Since this one also used to be devoid of pores, they
had specified this vessel also for wine, so that intoxicatio~l could occur quickly.

Comments:
1. 'I do not say': The purpose is to emphasize that since AUih's Messenger @
had addressed me in the singular, I too employ the singular forms, and not
the plural. Otherwise, the hereunder mentioned substances are unlawful for
every Muslim as they were unlawful for 'AX 9. But the unlawfulness of gold
and silk is for men.
2. 'In the postures of bowing and prostrating': The reason for the unlawfulness
of reciting the Qur'k might perhaps have been due to the fact that the
bowing and prostrating are the conditions of extreme helplessness and
humbleness or debasement before All&, Most High. And the Glorious
Qur'in is the Speech of AU&, which is of immensely lofty rank;. I t is not
suitable or compatible with these states or postures. And All% knows best!

Comments:
1. 'The ornament of the inhabitants of the Fire (of Hell)': Because it is with
such a thing that they will be shackled. This is the view of some scholars, see
also numbers 5208 and 5209, and their chapters.
2. 'Why do I notice the stench of idols (asnrim) from you?': Because idols were
generally fashioned out of brass in that period of time.
3. 'Keep it less than one Mithqril': A Mithqril equals 4.235 grams, a little over
four grams. Hence, the silver ring too ought to be no more than that weight.

1. 'Abyssinian (Habashi)' means it was fashioned in the Abyssinian (Ethiopian)
style, or was made in Abyssinia, because it comes in other narrations that it
was of silver only. Some have taken it to mean that its stone (Fuss) was black.
But it does not follow that it was assuredly of silver only. Some researchers
have established parallelism between the two cases that the Abyssinian stone
was on the gold ring, and in the silver ring, the stone was of silver.
2. 'On it which was engraved': It is elucidated in other reports that these three
terms were not engraved straight in one line or linear, but they were in three
liues. The word Allill was on the top, Rasa in the middle, and in the bottom
Maammad (May AllWs peace and greetings be upon him). This displays his
handsomest decorum that despite his name having been occui~ing fixst in the
sequence, the Prophet g placed his name below and the name of All&
above.

Comments:
1. 'On his right hand', because for adornment the right hand is appropriate. The
left hand is used for cleansing etc. In some narrations, there is mention of the
left hand, because in Lhe left hand the ring would be slipped and removed by
the right hand. So to speak, it is peimissible in both the hands, but priority is
given to the right hand. This is because it so occurs in numerous narrations.
See Had@ 5257 as well.
2. 'Its stone toward the inside of his palm': Because he had not worn it for
adornment or beautification. He had worn it for the purpose of sealing. Even
so, there is no harm if the stone is moved toward the back oi the hand,
because there is no evidence for its prohibition.
3. We learn from this that the silver ring also should be worn when some need
arises. Not for mere adornment.

1. 'A coal of fire' means the gold ling which would turn into fire on the Day of
Judgment.
2. 'I have brought many coals' means if gold is a coal of fire, then I have brought
a lot of gold.
3. 'The stones of Al-Harrah': Gold becomes a coal of fire for the one who uses
it as adomment and beautification, considering it a thing of valued beauty.
But the one who does not give importance to gold, nor is it one's objective to
acquire gold, and he merely fulfills the needs of his life by means of gold, and
if one does not utilize it for adomment and beautification, gold would not
become fire for such a person. Eve~y Muslim should keep this statement of
Al12h3s Messenger g$ before them.
4. A stony ground is called Al-Hai~ah. In the east and the west, of Madinah,
there are two spacious stony grounds wluch are called the Hanntay~z (the two
Harrahs), containing black volcanic rock!
5. It becomes clear from this Tradition that it is permissible to wear a ring of
iron and brass also.

'On the blessed signet ring of the Prophet g': 'Muhammadan Rnslib~llah' was

permission to use this engraving, no distinction would have remained in this

Comments:
1. 'The fires of the polytheists' means 'do not reside among polytheists'. So to
speak, the Muslims ought to live separate from the unbelievers, and so far
away from them that the k e s lit by the polytheists do not come into sight;
while fire could he seen from miles away particularly in the desert region.
2. 'Arabic phrasing or sciipt': While some scholars consider this to be a general
prohibition of inscriptions with Arabic on rings, the real or the root purpose is
the engravings of the Prophetic ring shall not be copied. It was in the Arabic
script. No inscription other than tics was well-known in the Arabic script
during that period of time. Otherwise, absolute engraving of any Arabic script
or inscription is not forbidden.

It is considered improper to wear a signet ring on the index finger (Sabbirba)

'Steadfast': In Arabic, the teim used in No. 5213 is As-Sadid. It lexically
signifies a right state; appropriate direction, having or taking a right direction
or tendency, tending toward the right point or object, etc. That is why this
signification was given priority or precedence.

On the signet ring of the Prophet
was engraved the sacred name of All&h,
Most High, and his own blessed name. Al-Mzalc? is a place where one goes to
he alone to relieve oneself. To carry, therefore, such sacred words, while
relieving oneself, is not proper. Likewise, to carIy inside the toilet the

1. The blessed signet I-ing of the Messenger of Allih g$ remained after Kim in the
hands of the Rightly Guided Caliphs or Mzulafa by way of necessity and
blessedness; not by way of owned property. When that signet ring was lost, the
period of tribulations and colruption started. In other words, a thing of great
blessing was lifted. It was, after all, the signet ring of the Seal of the Prophets.
2. 'Many letters': Hence, he encountered a hardship in sealing them again and
again. He, therefore, appointed an Ansari to set the seals.
3. 'In the well': The name of this well was Aiis (the well of Aris: Bb' A~i r ) . In
order to search for the signet ring, the well was emptied of its water; every
inch of the well was combed, but the signet ring was not to be found.
4. 'He ordered that a similar ring be made': Although Al l a s Messenger
had
forbidden people from engraving them. But this signet ring was fashioned as a
replacement of the original ring of the Prophet g. Besides, the Prophet's g
motive was to close the door of deception and false imitation. But due to the
loss of the original, this apprehension does not remain in the event of its
replication. Dubiousness and deception would have occurred, had there been
so many signet rings bearing the same engraving. So to speak, the basis of
commandments are their objectives or goals, not the apparent words. And this
principle is worth retention.

The appropriate dress is the one which avoids miserliness, extravagance,
nudity, ostentation, and arrogance. Unnatural affectation is blameworthy in
the matter of dress that plunges a man into self-imposed hardship. Wearing
si k and letting the dress hang below the ankles, for men, is Hnrrim,
irrespective of with whatever intention it is done, although a legal excuse or
compulsion legitimized by the Divine law merits consideration.

1. Ja'far was the elder hrother of 'Ali, and was the cousin brother of the Prophet
g. He embraced Islam in its early period. He emigrated to Abyssinia; then
he emigrated to Al-Madinah. He was martyred in the expedition of Muta.
May All& be pleased with him and he be with Him.
2. 'Do not weep': Crying was not absolutely forbidden, but it was forbidden by
way of mourning, as mourning is observed for three days when someone dies.
Condolers anive intermittently and the sound of crying soars sporadically;
otherwise, tears may surge at anytime. No one has control over tears.
3. There is no disagreement concerning the shaving of the head, provided the
entire head is shaved. No locks or tassels of hair should be left ixshaven. (See
the following narration).

Comments:
1. AUSh's Messenger's @ accord with the People of the Book in such matters
was in order to reconcile their hearts. They might perhaps incline toward
Islam. But when he realized that conformance with them is also not
beneficial, he gave that up. The mention oE "Where no specific command
had been given ..." and a Mz~rsal version recorded by 'Abdur-RazzHq, saying:
"Then he was ordered to pM ..." lead some to consider that it was revealed
that he &$ should now part his hair. While most scholars do not interpret the
ruling based on that Mzlrsal na~ation, and consider it lawful to part or not.
2. It was the excellent blessed practice of the Messenger of AU2h .h to part the
hair in the middle.

leather sandals having hair upon them. Compared with them, the Sabtipalz
sandals (or shoes) were considered expensive. There is no haim in wearing
them.
2. IVars and saffron are colored pe~fnmes. Their use by men upon their bodies is
not appropriate, although hair could he tinted with them. So far as the
Prophet's tinting his beard is concerned, its detail could be seen in Ha&&

Comments:
1. The narration implies that one should not feel any shame in giving or
accepting gifts even though they be small. Likewise, no gift should be
considered trivial; nor should it be rejected.
2. 'It has a pleasant smell', because perfume or fragrance is a thing of Paradise.
In one narration, there is elucidation that perfume has come from Paradise.

It appears it was a gold ring. Its description has preceded above too, because
of it, the Prophet's g a,ttention was distracted. He, therefore, did not think it
proper to continue to wear it. From this, it transpires that one should not
wear a ring merely for the sake of adornment. See Had?& 5277.

From the apparent phrasing of the narration, it seems that a silver ring was
thus cast away. But this impression is not correct. In all the other narrations,
it comes unequivocally clear that the ring which was thrown away was of gold.
The signet ring of silver was made later.

This incident belongs to a journey. Some jurists stipulate the wndition of the
state of journeying along with itchiness, because at home, several other
remedies are possible for an itch, although during traveling, it might cause
hardship. Since silk happens to be soft, it does not inflame the condition of
itching. On the contrary, it provides relief and comfort. And if the itch-
The Book Of Adornment ... 165 * I ; i 531+~
stricken body is not scratched, the itch heals up. Scratching aggravates it. In
the event of wearing silk, one does not need to scratch. It gradually heals up.
Some venerable individuals have taken the traveling and the itchiness to
signify separate indications of permissibility. That means silk is permissible
due to itchiness, as well as on account of traveling and while at war. And
Allih !mows best!

1. The fringes of sheet: and shirts are oftell hemmed with silk straps; for

Sometimes silk flaps are mounted on shoulders. There is no harm in them as

width of a finger or so, meaning an inch or an inch and a half.
2. 'I at once understood': So to speak, Taikdn (plural Tqdlisah) was a shawl-lie
garment which was worn over shoulders. Its borders used to be hemmed with
silk straps. The utterer of this sentence is Sulaimin Taymi, the pupil of AbO

Comments:
When it is forbidden to recite the Glorious Qur' h in the posture of bowing;
it would be first and foremost forbidden in the posture of prostration, because
that posture consists of more humility and lowliness than the posture of
bowing. See No. 1044.

Comments:
It is essential to cover the lcnees with the waist-wrapper or the lower garment.
The knees should not be seen, in any condition: while working, bowing, or
while performing prostration. The ankles should remain bare in every
circumstance. To keep the garment above the mid-shanks is also unlawful,
and letting it hang below the ankles is also unlawful. One may, however, keep
his lower garments anywhere he may consider it appropriate, between this
point (mid-shanks) and the ankles in accord with the season and the
customary practice. The trousers or pants also fall under the mling of the
waist-wrapper. Therefore, they should also be kept above the ankles.
Handsomeness dwells in obeying Msh, Most High, and His Messenger
only.

'Blackish': In Arabic, the expression Harq2njynh is used, which is a derivative
of the term Haraq, which means burning in fire. In other words, it is such a
color which resembles the color of a thing burned by fire. That color was
called blackish, because it need not be necessarily jet black.

The style of wearing or winding a turban is related to customa~y practices or
ethnicity. Whatever mode or style is prevalent concerning the wearing of
turbans, it is valid or allowed, because Allih's Messenger $g has not indicated

any specific style of wearing the turban. He wore the turban in accordance
with the customary practices of his period of time.

necessity, then one could keep it in farms or enclosures, not in the house.
(See narrations 4281 through 4296)

In other words, he would not only be commanded to breathe l i e (into the
pictures), but he would also be continuously tortured or punished. He will
continue to be punished until he breathes life into them, and be will never be
able to do so. Hence, he would spend the entire Judgment Day in
punishment; and this would indeed be a most severe punishment.

Comments:
1. 'Leather mat or rug. (The term used in Arabic is Nata'. It means a leather
mat or lug or spread used as a table-cloth, and gaming board)': It happens to
be superior to a cloth-sheet in every way. The purpose is that it is not
190
&+I & &31 +g
blameworthy to use excellent things.
2. 'He laid down to rest': Umm Sulaim and Umm Ha r h were related to the
Messenger of All8h g in a way that they were his unmarriageable kin. On that
account (Umm Sulaim and Umm HarAm were sisters, and they had a bond of
relationship with the maternal side of the Prophet's @, grandfather), AUWs
Messenger g used to visit them sometimes in their houses and rest there.
3. 'Collected or scooped out the Prophet's @ perspiration': So to say, she took
or absorbed the perspiration with some piece of cloth, and then she squeezed
the cloth into her perfume or into an empty bottle. And Allah knows best!

some advice, which I wish that I had
followed. He said: "Perhaps yon will
live to see wealth that will be

3. 'I have accumulated (it)': This was his self-effacement or modesty, olheiwise,
he had left no heritage. May All&h be pleased with him and he be with Him.
4. The puipose of the chapter is that to have a sewant, and to keep ready a

Comments:
1 . The purpose of the chapter is that sitting on a chair while other people are
seated on the ground is not prohibited, if there is a need to do so. For
instance, delivering a discourse or sermon, so people could easily see the
sermon-giver while hearing him. Even otherwise, sitting on a chair does not
imply pride or vain conceit.
2. This narration proves Allill" Messenger's @ affection and gracefulness to the
zenith of their perfection. He left his place and went forth to reach out to an
unknown poor person.

Comments:
1. Justice and fairness means to restore the right of every rightful owner, and to
behave with people in accordance with their rank and station; whether it is
the chair of justice, or the throne of a ruler, whether it is at home or abroad,
whether it is a mosque or a school.
2. 'Thrones of light': When there could be a throne of wood and stone, then why
not of light? angels are absolute luminary or luminous creation. Some
researchers have understood it to mean high ranks or stations. But there is no
need to negate the notion of throne. Thrones would also be, as it were, ranks
or stations.

1. 'Seven persons': In other narrations, apart from these seven, some others are
also made mention of. These seven do not negate them.
2. The shade of Allih Most High': The significance is that no one will be able
to procure shade on his own; nor would there be any shade except that shade
which would be provided by Allih, Most High, and to whomever He wills.
3 . 'Young man', because what else would an old man do, except worship? When
death knocks at the door, the wolf turns pious. The real excellence lies in
youthful worship.
4. 'Whose heart is attached to the Masjid': He finds tranquillity in the mosque.
He remains restless outside the mosque, and awaits the next prayer.
5. 'Two men': Since the action of both of them is identical, it would be counted
as one.
6. They say it means she invites him to illicit relations. They also say, based
upon other reported wordings, that it may refer to marriage, and he fears he
will not fulfill all of the rights of marriage most of them consider the first
view to be the more obvious.

Comments:
The one who covets a post or an office, they would not be able to fulfill their
obligatory duties with honesty. They would make their office or post a source
of achieving eminence and power. Moreover, they would not receive any help
or success from Allih. Therefore, such people should not be appointed on
significant posts. If the government asks for applications, one may send in a
request. There is no harm in it, and such persons may be given the post. (For
further details, please turn to Had;& 4)

1. Eveiy ordinary person, rather than the people who have special sldlls or
qualities, cannot be appointed to a significant post. Posts do not come
aplenly. Other people, therefore, should not pour out their jealousies and
rebellion. They should show patience. Otherwise, this would create disorder
and anarchy.
2. 'You will encounter': Some commenlaries explain that it could mean: "You
will find that others are given preference over you after me ..."

Comments:
1. Acting as a governor or commander under the rule of someone else is a large
responsibility; one would be accountable for it. One may even have to
undergo punishment in the event of shortfalls and failures. Therefore, one
should not invite this potential trouble for oneself. But if some responsibility
is bestowed upon someone, or if people are given responsibility, they should
accept it in the name of All&. Io this event, AllWs succor would accompany
them, and people would also cooperate.
2. 'Would be left to your own devices' means neither All2h's help will
accompany you, nor will people cooperate with you. It is obvious that only
disgrace will follow, and one would encounter defeat.

Comments: E .
1. This narration does not contain a manifest allusion to the theme of this
Chapter. In other narrations, however, there is mention of the poetry of Aqra'
bnl Hibis that he had recited vainglorious poetic verses before the Messenger
of Allih @, and Hassin bin Thibit had given him a versified reply on behalf
of the Prophet @.
2. The Noble Qur'in and the Prophet's Traditions generally deprecate the poets,
because they happen to be habitually accustomed to 11pel"oolic expressions;
rather falsehood, flattery and arrogance. The Divine law considers these
charactelistics bad. Even otherwise, a tuler ought to be sober and dignified,
and the professional poets happen to be bereft of these qualities. What is
outwardly understood is that poets should not be given offices of leadership.

Comments:
'That which is lawful is clear' means the lawfulness of certain things is evident
and uncontroversial, and certain things are absolutely unlawful. It is easy to
make decisions concerning them, while certain things are confusing to many
because of their lack of knowledge about tl~em. Precaution is essential in
these things.

when they recite them.' So he
called them together and gave
them the choice between being put
to death, or giving up reading the
Tawrih and Injil, except for what
had been altered. They said: 'Why
do you want us to change? Leave
us alone.' Some of them said:
'Build us a tower and let us go up
there, and give us something to lift
up our food and drink so we do not
have to mix with you.' Others said:
'Let us go and wander throughout
the land, and we will drink as the
wild animals drink, and if you
capture us in your land, you may
kill us.' Others said: 'Build houses
for us in the wilderness, and we will
dig wells and grow vegetables, and
we will not mix with you or pass by
you, for there is no one of the
tribes among whom we do not have
close relatives.' So they did that,
and Alliih revealed the words: 'But

not prescribe for them, but (they
sought it) only to please Alliih
therewith, but that they did not

'We will worship as so-and-so

adopt houses (in the wilderness) as

Comments:
1. 'We have never heard ... worse', because they call us unbelievers.
2. 'Leave us alone': Even so, some pmple entered the minarets, and continued
with their worship residing there. Some people became monks. They used to
roam here and there aimlessly in various townships. Some built houses of
worship in remote places, and began to stay there. In short, they gradually lost
contact with people. And this is what the evildoers desired. They did not have
anyone around to censure them.
3. 'Monasticism': The term rahbrinjyah combines the concepts of monastic life
with exaggerated asceticism, often amounting to a denial of any value in the
liie of this world - to the exclusion of married liie; mutual transactions, etc.
It was gaded Sahib by both gai & Al-AlbSni and Maammad bin 'Ali Al-Wdawi,

4. Then others said ... earlier, people were in reality upon their Tiue Religion.
But they adopted these practices in order to safeguard their Religion (Din).
Later, some irreligious people too began to unwittingly imitate them, who
wel-e polytheists and ineligious, apart from being ascetics.

Comments:
1. 'I am a human': Meaning, Allah does not reveal to him about what you want,
but what he wills when people request a judgment from him @ on personal
disputes, he judges based upon what was already revealed, and after testimony
and proof, while that testimony or proof may be colnpt, and that is beyond
his $g control and understanding of the evidences. "I am not the knower of
the unseen that I may reach the root of reality. I return verdicts based on
mere evident arguments or proofs."
2. 'He sl~ould not take it': So to sped, if a person, with the help of lus glib
tongue or false evidence, succeeds in getting the decision of the Qadi or judge
in his favor, that does not make him a legitimate master of that right.

Comments:
1. Tbis is an astonishing incident that a dispute arises over a child; while children
have identity of their own. Even if no one is found who could help identify it.
2. 'In favor of the elder oue': There are no details to clarify why that was the
case.
3. Since she would give him up just so he could live, while silent; it was clear
that she was his mother.
4. 'SiWcin': In the Arabic language, a knife is called Sikkin as well as Al-Mudyah.
It might perhaps have been called Al-Mudyah in the province of Abfi
Hurairah.

Chapter 15. The Judge Is

Something That He Will Not

5405. It was narrated from Ab6
All211 g said: "Two women went
out with two children of theirs, and
the wolf attacked one of them and
took her child. The next day they
referred their dispute over the
remaining child to Diwiid, peace be
upon him, and he ruled that (the
child) belonged to the older woman.
Then they passed by Sulaimin and
he said: 'What is your story?' So they
told him. He said: 'Bring me a knife
and I will cut him in half (to be
shared) between you.' The younger
one said: 'Will you cut him in half?'
He said: 'Yes.' She said: 'Do not do
that; I will give my share of hi to
her.' He said: 'He is your child, and
he mled that he belonged to her."'
(Sahi!~)
Chapter 16. The Judge
Undoing A Ruling Passed By
Someone Else Of His Caliber
Or Greater Than Him
5406. It was narrated from Ab6
Hurairah that the Prophet g said:
"Two women went out with their
two children, and the wolf took one
of the children from them. They
h d l +ljT +kf
referred their dispute to Prophet
Diwhd, peace be upon him, and he
mled that (the remaining child)
belonged to the older woman.
Then they passed by Sulaimsn,
peace be upon him, and he said:
'How did he judge between you?
She said: 'He mled that (the child)
belongs t o the older woman.'
Sulaiman said: 'Cut him in half,
and give half to one and half to the
other.' The older woman said:
'Yes, cut him in half.' The younger
woman said: 'Do not cut him, he is
her child.' So he ruled that the
child belonged to the woman who
refused to let him be cut." (Sahih)
Chapter 17. Refuting A Judge
If He Passes An Incorrect
Judgment
5407. It was narrated from S h
that his father said: "The Prophet

Banu Jamah. He called them to
Islam but they could not say
Aslamnn (we submitted, i.e.,
became Muslim) so they started to

and talring prisoners, and he gave a
prisoner to each man. The next day
Kha d bin Al-WaEd issued orders
that each man among us kill his
prisoner." Ibn 'Umar said: "I said:

Comments:
1. The disbelievers used to nicltname Muslims Sibi, the one who emerges from
his religion. They used to consider them irreligious. The expression Sabina is
derived from it. The motive of Bani Jadhimah was, 'We have emerged from
our ancestral religion, and have embraced Islam'. But they employed the
expression which the disbelievers sacrosanctly employed against Muslims. This
misled Khalid bin Al-Walid 4. He thought they were still adhering to their
disbelief, and were satii-izing the Muslims. It was, however, not the case.
Iaal i d L& took disciplinary measures. Since it was his deducible error, All%h's
Messenger merely absolved himself, and did not punish him.
2. The author's argumentation is upon the course of action adopted by fin
'Umar 4i and his Companions that they did not accept the order of the one
in command. In this case, Ibn 'Umar, the narrator himself, was sure that they
intended that they accapt Islam. The Hadie, recorded by Muslin1 4765, Al-
Bul&dri 7257, and others, supports Ibn 'Umar's behavior: "There is no
obedience in disobedience." And Allih's Messenger g also supported them.

Comments:
This anger means violent anger, which momentarily halts or blunts man's
ability to think and comprehend, and there remains the danger of making the
wrong decision, although slight anger, with which one is filled upon hearing
the crime of a criminal, is not blameworthy in the process of one's arriving at
a judgment. Apart from anger, anything that creates an impact upon one's
ability of thinking and comprehending it falls under the ruling of rage, for
instance, hunger, thirst, distress, sichess, etc. It is better to record the verdict
in a separate sitting session, so that momentary emotions do not cast any
impact on the verdict.

Comments:
The purpose of the chapter is clear; the author intends to say that this
na~at i on may be proof that the prohibition of a judge issuing a verdict while
angry may be only a prohibition of dislike. Or, there is an exception for those
who are known to be trusted. This is the more obvious, since he said: 'A
trustwoithy judge' using the word 21-Amin' clearly makes analogy between a
trusted judge and Allah's Messenger g while other scholars will consider the
prohibition of passing judgment while angly to be general, and this proof
deals only with specifics that are specific to Allah's Messenger 8.

The purpose of the chapter is that it is not necessary that the verdict could be
passed in judicial courtrooms only. But if need arises, the judgment could be
passed at home, mosque, marketplace, or wherever occasion arises, although
the above-quoted incident is of conciliation, rather than of judgment.

Comments:
1. The objective of the chapter is that seeking another's help to solve disputes is
allowed.
2. 'Was ignorant': What is meant is that he was ignorant, a stranger and hungry.
You could have explained to him lovingly. 'look! My brother, instead of
plucking it out, you should have taken permission of the owner.' Then you
should have given him something to eat, so that he could have satisfied his
need. Instead, you took something horn this poor stranger, and thrashed hi.
3. From this, we learn the danger of punislnnents when there is no education.
4. To take a bite or two, or drink from an orchard, is not a crime upon which
the prescribed legal punishment could be passed. This topic preceded.

Comments:
1. 'I ransomed him (I gave one hundred goats and a slave girl as ransom or
appeasement)': He thought adultery with someone's wife is the infringement
of her husband's right. He should, therefore, he appeased. On the contrary, it
is the violation of the commandment of the Divine law, which is connected
with the society. Hence, this crime would not be pardoned due to the husband
forgiving it; rather, after being taken to the court, prescribed legal punishment
shall assuredly be given.
2. 'He was given one hundred lashes', because he had confessed to it. The crime
had been proved.
3. 'Go to the man's wife': The chapter's argumentation is founded upon these
words, that instead of summoning the woman to the judiciary, Allih's
Messenger @ sent his official to her house. If, however, investigations are not
completed at home, women may be summoned to the court of law, although, it
is better that the investigations are completed at homes in the case of women.

He said: 'Speak.' He said: 'My son

was told that his son was to be
stoned to death but he ransomed
him from that. 'Then I asked some
knowledgeable men and they told
me that my son was to be given
one hundred lashes and exiled for
a year.' The Messenger of Allih g

She did confess, so he stoned her

The purpose of the chapter is that the ruler should not keep waiting that the

all. People should be made to reach a compromise. Other relevant themes of

Comments:
In the case of disputes which are pardonable and could be excused, pardon
and excuse in such matters is commendable, because forgiveness and
magnanimity end mutual enmity. Love for each other increases. The social
environ becomes tranquil. Taking revenge is, however, permissible, but in the
case of retaliation, the situation often turns flammable. Mutual displeasure
and enmity raise their ugly heads. Therefore, the Divine law considers
forgiveness superior to taking revenge, provided the other party admits its
fault in humility and asks for forgiveness with sincerity. It is appropriate for
the ruler to make efforts for conciliation in the above-quoted legal wrangles.
If he is not able to do so, then he should judge between them rigl~tfully and
justly, although certain social crimes are such that they are not worthy of
forgiveness, for instance, theft, adultery, etc. If such cases reach the court of
law, it is compulsory to return a verdict upon them. Murder or killing falls in
the category. (For iurther details pertaining to this narration, please see
Hadie 4726 to 4735).

Earlier it has preceded that if a slave woman is emancipated and her husband
is still a slave, then she has the right to keep the marriage intact, or if she so
desires, she may break it. Here the problem was the same. So to speak, the
ruler need not necessarily return the verdict. He may rather intercede on
behalf of one of the two parties for reconciliation. And this is superior,
particularly so when there is the possibility of a break up.

Mudabbar signifies a slave whom his master says, 'You will be free after my
death.' Evidently, had Allih's Messenger g$ not sold the slave, he would have
become free only upon the death of his Helper Companion. Allsh's
Messenger @, therefore, sold him. From this, we learn that the appropriate
charity is only that which is petformed after meeting one's need, and aHer
repaying one's debt, etc.

A/-Aladdirl-@a:iin: This signifies a person who is always able to defeat his
opponent in a conlroversy by the use of extremely adroit and often misleading
arguments. The expression aladd (hostile) is derived from the word l a d i d h ,
meaning both sides of the neck so thal implication is that this hostility is
deeply rooted. MzisBm means adversaries. It means that he is the sti-ongest in
argumentation when he speaks to you, even though he is inwardly ialse.

Comments:
It is absolutely clear that the defendant shall be made to take the oath (if he denies
or disowns). If he swears the oath, the plaintiif shall receive nothing. If the
defendant refuses to swear the oath, then the thing would he turned over to the
plaintiff upon swearing the oath. This is called Yamin al-ghamlis. (A typical form of
sinful oath is when a person takes an oath on the truth of something which he
!mows to be untrue; this is called Yamin al-ghamh 01 the engulfing oath).

Sa'eed Al - gudr i said: "Mu'iwiyah,

said: 'The Messenger of Allih @
went out to a circle - meaning, of his
Companions - and said: 'What are
you doing?' They said: 'We have
come together to pray to Allill and
praise Him for guiding us to His
religion, and blessing us with you.'
He said: 'I ask you, by Allih, is that
the only reason?' They said: 'By
Allih, we have not come together
for any other reason.' He said: 'I am
not asking you to swear to an oath
because of any suspicion; rather
Jibril came to me and told me that

1. Allih's Messenger's gg purpose is this, "I asked you to swear an oath in view
of the significance of your deed. Not on account of any doubt or aspersion."
2. This narration demonstrates that an oath should be sworn by the name of
Allih alone; and this much is sufficient. And that asking: "By AIIBh?" is
sufficient when requesting one to swear an oath.

Comments:
1. 'I disbelieve': The meaning is if someone is made to take an oath, it should be
achowledged or believed If someone swears a false oath, he would reap
what he has sown. In the mentioned incident, the man might have been
collecting his own property, or someone else's, after having obtained their
permission. Or his intention migbt have been merely to new the thing by
picking it up. It might not have been his intention to cany it away. Such
possibilities could be numerous. So to state, apparently it looked like a case of
stealing. But the matter became clear by his taking the oath.
2. To call Prophet ' ha (M) 'isa bin Maryam every time and in every place
provides the conclusive evidence that he was born without a father, so that he
could become a miracle for people, upon his truthfulness.
3. The oathmentioned in the narration is of the variety of &Iz~'aqqad and Mz~ghallg
(stressed or emphasized). In other words, such an oath could also be sworn.
That is because the man did not merely say: "By All&'' but added: "Whom there
is no other god!" stressinghis oath.

1. Man is a weak created being who cannot spend even a moment in this world
without the Help of Allill, Most High. None is self-sufficiently independent of
Allih. Countless are the occasions when man finds himself utterly helpless,
and he becomes impotent and incapable, despite all his energies, capabilities,
and resources. At that moment he feels the dire need of help and succor, and
that help is only possible from Allih, Most High. In order to save himself
from calamities and afflictions, man seeks refuge of Allih, Most High,
whether the calamities and afflictions are of this mundane world or of the
other world, whether they are physical, spiritual, material, or abstract.

The meaning is that to seek protection, this Surlilz is the best of all, because it
is extremely comprehensive and all-embracing. In it, eveIy type of evil has
been alluded to, and Alli11's protection is sought against it.

In the dawn prayer (Fajr), lengthy recitation of the Glorious Qnr'in was the
practice of the Prophet s. But that day, he recited these two concise Surilzs
in order to underline their significance, that in spite of their being brief, they
are comprehensive and most excellent. So much so that they could suffice in
place of lengthy recitation in the Pajr prayer.

Comments:
Such person is overwhelmed. He possesses nothing to repay. He tells lies
under duress to save his soul. He is forced to make impossible promises. This
demonstrates that debt here does not connote an ordinary debt or the debt in
its absolute sense, but heavy back-breaking debt, whose repayment is
impossible for him to make. Sin in this narration also denotes that sin which
men deliberately and brazenly commit, or it might signify that sin which a
debtor commits as has preceded above.

From The Evil Of Seeing
5458. It was narrated from Shutair
bin Bakal bin Humaid, that his
father said: "I said: ' 0 Messenger
of Allih, teach me a supplication
from which I may benefit.' He said:
'Say: Allihumnza ' ifi~zl min &am

5459. It was narrated that a i l i d
said: "Humaid narrated: 'Anas -

torment of the grave and about the
Dajjril. He said: "The Prophet of

. ~ r o r : ~ ?&- CPl :c&
Comments:
The signification of the answer of Anas + is that the Deceiver or the Dajjirl
would surely appear, and that the punishment of the grave is true. The trial of
Daijirl means following him.

Comments:
1. The Arabic word Fitna, of which Fitan is the plural form, covers a wide range
of meaning. By extension of the basic concept of 'the melting of gold and
silver in the fire in order to separate, 01- distinguish the bad from the good', it
comes to signify 'a trial, a temptation, an ai ct i on, by which a person is tried,
proved, or tested'. Man is tried or tested with various things; for instance,
poverty, wealth, etc. so that his Faith or disbelief becomes clear. Likewise,
people would be tested with the trial of Ad-Dajjtl or the Deceiver.
Questioning in the grave would also reveal Faith or disbelief. That is why
these thines were called a trial or Fitna.
-
2. Trial of the grave signifies interrogation or questioning, which occui-s between
the aneels and the one buied or interred. And the evil of these trials ineans -~
~- -
at the time of being tested by these trials, man might fail, and instead of
Faith, disbelief comes to the fore.
3. For the si mcat i on of 'the washing of sins', please t u~n to Hadig 61 and 896.

Comments:
1. Hunger is inherent in man. There is no escaping from it. Hence, hunger in
this Tradition does not mean 'absolute hunger'. It rather means serial or
continuous hunger or appetite which is described by the expression Faqr or
poverty in the narration 5462; in that man fails to obtain so much to eat and
drink that he could satisfy his hunger.
2. Treachery is blameworthy, whether it is in the rights of All&, or the rights of
bondsmen. It is a sign of hypocrisy. May All& keep us safe from these both.

'Opposing the truth': The term SIaiqhq signifies dissension, disunity, discord,

stubbornness, and which contains no dimension of justice. Obviously, such
opposition could only be against truth. Hence, it is abominable.

means death might not befall me in a state when I owe rights to others,

If the punishment of the grave is separate froin the trial of the grave, then the
trial of the grave would be the questions of the angels, and the punishment of
the grave means that punishment, which is meted out to the disbelievers and
the hypocrites, after their interrogation by the angels. We seek refuge in Allih
from it. Taking refuge from the questioning of the angels means 'I might be
able to answer them rightly and might emerge triumphant from this test'.

1. The majority of these are accidental deaths in which men die all of a sudden.
They do not even find the opportunity to utter the formula of the Oneness of
All&. These types of deaths, therefore, are not good.
2. Fleeing or lunning away from the battleground is a major sin. Death in that

(Satan) wants only to excite enmity

that when the prohibition of @amr

Comments:
1. This Tradition is concise. Othemise the first Verse or the Ayah to descend
pertaining to the prohibition of wine was the Verse of Surah Al-Baqarala:
'They ask you about alcoholic &inks and gambling. Say: There is great wrong
in both of them and also certain benefits for mankind. But wrong in them is
greater than benefit.'
2. The passionate feeling for the unlawfulness of wine in the heart of 'Umar &
was inspired by Allsh, Most High, making his heart glow before the descent
of the absolute commandment.

Comments:
1. Some fruit is immersed in water. When it becomes soft, the fmit is given a rub
by the hands in the water. Then the water is squeezed out in a piece of cloth in
a way that the straw pulp is separated. Thereupon that beverage having the
effect of the fruit is drunl~. This is called the Nabidh. It happens to be delicious
and energizing. There is no harm in drinking it. But it should not be kept for a
long time, because it ferments quickly, often changing to alcohol. If it turns
intoxicating, it is unlawful like wine. If the Nnbidh is brewed out of two types of
hi t s , meaning if two types of h i t s are immersed into the water, the possibility
of its turning intoxicating quickly becomes greater. It is because in it chemical
action starts with speed. That is why the Nabidh of any two substances is
absolutely forbidden. In the event of it not being alcoholic or intoxicating,
however, its use would nonetheless be appropriate. But commoners do not
happen to be sensible in the matter of intoxication. It was, therefore, absolutely
forbidden.
2. Fresh ripe dates and dried dates are mutually quite different from each other.
They were, therefore, considered equaling two different fruits.

Comments:
1. In the above-quoted vessels, due to their absorbing the contents, intoxication
would remain in them. These vessels were, therefore, forbidden for malcing
Nabidlz. Or these vessels were probably used for brewing wine. At the time of
the prohibition of alcoholic drinks or wine, the use of these vessels was
temporarily forbidden so that even the idea of wine does not recur. Later on,
permission to make use of these vessels was given, although one should deal
cautiously and see that intoxication is not produced, Otheiwise, the beverage
would become unlawful. If it does not intoxicate, then there is no ha~m in it.
2. Balalz, Zahr, Busr, Rzrteb, and Ta~iir are the various states or conditions of
dates.

Comments:
In the Nabidh or beverage brewed out of the Bz~sr variety of dates,
intoxication might probably have been taking place quickly. Ibn Abbas &
might have been considering it unlawful on that account. In every case, it is
unlawful only when it causes intoxication, othe~wise not. But the concocted
Nnbidh or beverage brewed out of Busr and Tamr is invariably unlawful,
irrespective of whether it intoxicates or does not intoxicate. This is because
Allih's Messenger @ has forbidden it absolutely.

1. Fadhi& It was a beverage of the kind called Nabidh, which was prepared
from full-grown unripe dates without them being touched, i.e. boiled or
heated in any degree. Since it used to he intoxicating, it was forbidden.
2. 'Which has ripened &om one side': Ripe on one side, unripe on the other. So
to state, such type of date is also a fruit consisting of two varieties. Unripe
and fully ripe (fresh ripe dates). Therefore, the Nabidh or beverage of this
type of dates is also forbidden, except for when both the sides are separated,
and the Nabidh is made out of one portion, as has been described in the
Tradition itself.

The purpose of the chapter is that the Nabidh ought to be made in water-
skins instead of pitchers. In pitchers, particularly those which are coated with
tar, intoxication takes place quickly and remains after the drink is removed. In
skins, intoxication does not occur rapidly. Even if intoxication takes place, it is
soon discovered.

By quoting the statements of various followers or the Tbbi'in, the objective is
to underscore the truth that according to the followers residing in the cities of
KCfa, Busra and Maklcah, alcoholic drink could be made out of dates also, as
it is made from grapes. And this is the course of action adopted by the
dominant majority of the people of knowledge, Traditionalists and jurists.

When the juice of grapes is cooked on a fire, until it turns into a paste, it is
called Tila. When this juice is cooked until the quantity of the two-third has
evaporated, the possibility of intoxication does not remain in it. Hence, it is
permissible to drink this thick paste-like liquid. But if it evaporates in less
quantity, then the possibility of intoxication remains. It is, the]-efore, not
permissible to drink.

1. Abii Miis2 Al-Ash'ari was from Yemen. He, therefore, was very familiar with
the drinks of that region.
2. Every province has its own different foods and drinks. The people of other
provinces are often not familiar with them. That is why Allih's Messenger g$
had to ask hi concerning Al-Bit' and Al-Mizr, because every province or
region has its own definitions. And there is nothing objectionable about it.
3. Grain: Dhurah is a species of food grain Wre millet. Some have taken it to
denote maize also.
4. 'I have fotbidden' means by the Commandment of All& Most High, because
the authority of lawfulness and unlawfulness rests with Him; He reveals it by
means of Wahy or Revelation.

1. BB&q was also a kind of wine, which was prevalent among the non-Arabs.
the Persians. They used to call it Bridalz. The Arabs made it BB&iq.
2. These add up to nearly 35 narrations, from which it transpires clearly, and the
purpose of the author is also veiy much the same, that the cause of the
prohibition of wine is intoxication. Therefore, in whichever substance
intoxication is found, it is absolutely unlawful like wine, in small quantity as
well as large. And this matter is extremely manifest by common knowledge,
intellectually, and canonically. And this is the vely course of action adopted
and adhered to by the dominant majority of the people of knowledge, the
Prophet's Companions, and the followers.

2. 'Those who do not believe' means this is the drink of the disbelievers, not of
Muslims. It does not signify that the one who drinks it would become a

The Nabidlz or beverage could be prepared in any vessel, provided it does not
produce intoxication, although such vessels ought to be discarded wllich might
produce intoxication rapidly. It is quite possible that one might not feel or

Comments:
When the gourd dries up, it is cleaned from inside. Its skin turns extremely
hard, and it becomes like a vessel. The people of Ignorance used to brew wine
in it. When the wine was forbidden, AUih's Messenger g forbade the vessels
of wine also, but later on he permitted them, although it ought not to
intoxicate. The caution demands that such vessels should not be used for
beverage or Nabidh.

Comments:
This is the first ariival of the delegation of Abdul-Qais, which took place
toward the end of the year 3 H., or in the beginning of the year 4H., because
it contains the allusion to the barrier created by the Quraish. The second
arrival had taken place in the year 9H. By the time Makkah had already been
conquered and the obstacle of the Quraish had ended. The first arrival had
taken place during the early period of time, following the Battle of Uhud, and
the period was kesh when wine had just been forbidden. During this period of
time, along wit11 wine or alcoholic drinks, the vessels of wine were also
forbidden, so that minds do not turn toward alcoholic drinks. Later, when
wine became a forgotten matter of the past, pelmission to make use of these
vessels was given, although because these vessels are supportive and helpful in
producing intoxication due to their having been without pores, it is superior to
eschew them in making Nabidla or beverage. But as long as intoxication is not
produced, beverage would not become unlawful in those vessels, because
vessels cannot render anything lawful or unlawful.

1. Khuraibah is a locality of the city of Basra, which was also called Busra
Suglira or the Tiny Basra.
2. 'Drink it in the morning' ineans Nabidlz should not be kept for a long time.
There is possibility of its turning intoxicating.
3. 'Fasten its mouth or head' means the vessel containing Nabidh should be kept
covered. Tightly closed, which delays fermentation. So far as the detail
concerning the vessel remains, it could be seen in the narration 5641.

Comments:
This narration is more explicit than the previous one, and this narration is
quite plain in the issue that the prohibition of Nabidl? was given in the
beginning. Aftelward, this command was abrogated. There is consensus
among the people of knowledge over it. Likewise, the prohibition of the
vessels has already been abrogated. The course of action of the dominant
majority of the people of knowledge is very much the same, and it is most

appropriate. Details have preceded above. Please See Had?& 5646. Moreover,
this is the best form of proof for abrogation, that AU2h's Messenger
himself offered cla3cation pertaining to the abrogation of his previous
command, and stipulated a new ruling. In such an abrogation, no grain of
doubt remains. From the point of view of the chain of transmitters also, this
narration is of the highly authentic grade, because this Hadit& occurs in Sahih
Mzlslim.

1. 'The night': This incident was during the last period of the Prophet's g$
Makkan Me. In other words, at the time of the Ascension itself, an indication
was made that wine would be made unlawful, although the command of
prohibition descended later during the third year of Hijrah.
2. 'I took the milk': So to speak, from the beginning, AllWs Messenger g$
detested wine.
3. 'The Fitrah, because milk is a natural food for man.

Comments:
1. The purpose of the Tradition is that these actions are the repudiation of faith.
Faith cannot tolerate these things. It stops one from them. It does not mean
that he becomes an unbeliever. For details, please see nal-ration 4873.
2. This narration proves the enormity of drinking wine, because it is shown to be
the negation of Faith or Imin. Even othenvise, drinking wine obligates the
prescribed legal punishment, and the action which calls for the
implementation of the prescribed legal punishment happens to be an
enormity; adulteiy, theft, and highway robbery are all included among
eno~mities.

Acceptance of prayer (ritual prayer) means gaining the recompense or the
reward of prayer. So to speak, the wine drinker would not gain the
recompense of his pelformed prayers for up to 40 days, although he will have
to pray still, and their restitution would not be obligated upon him.

Comments:
It transpires from this Hadie that '&&ah B did not consider permissible the
substance containing even slight intoxication. It is significant to realize that
intoxication does not occur in the Nabidlz brewed in the evening or in the
morning with the passage of one night or day. Even then, she sounded a word
of caution that intoxication should not occur. Hence, the unknown narration
transmitted upon her authority previously is not appropriate from any aspect.
5684. It was narrated that 'AX bin

Comments:
1. The objective of the question is that no sourness in its taste is felt. On the
contrary, it happens to be very sweet, and this is symbolic of it not being
intoxicating. But the rumbling in the stomach creates doubts that it probably
contains intoxication, because this tartness is its evidence. The gist of the
answer is that one should not consume such a spurious beverage, irrespective
of whether its taste is wholesome and apparently it does not seem to be
intoxicating. Just consider it that Ibn Abbas & is not prepared to give
permission for doubtful Nabidh.

Comments:
The occurrence of fermentation in Nabidla is a sign lhat it contains
intoxication. That is why Ibn Abbas ruled it as being polluted and unlawful.
So to state, according to Ibn Abbas, intoxicating beverage is polluted and
unlawful, whether it is little or mnuch. Therefore, the narration transmitted
from him, concerning the permission of drinking intoxicating drinks in less
quantity than what intoxicates, is not correct.
5697. Ibn 'Umar said: "While he

and he raised it to his mouth, but

it back to him and a man among
the people said: '0 Messenger of
Allill, is it unlawful?' He said:
'Bring the man to me.' So he was
brought to him. He took the cup
from him and called for water. He
poured it into the cup, which he
raised to his mouth and frowned.
Then he called for more water and
poured it into it. Then he said:

Comments:
If a fruit remains immersed in water for a day or half a day as much, its effect
is transferred to water to a great extent. The water becomes sweet. This is
called Nabidh. If, however, it is kept too long, it begins to ferment and turns
intoxicating. That is why Ibn 'Umar & used to throw it away after a day or
half a day, so that no trace of intoxication remains.

Comments:
In the narration of the Mother of the Believers, Ai'shah $+, there is mention
of one day and one night. It is possible that during summertime when there
was the danger of the occurrence of intoxication, one day and one night was
thought enough, and during the wintertime, etc., he $g might have been
drinking it until two or three days. Moreover, this Nabidlz was made in a
leather water bag (as is elucidated in the report of Ai'shah $+). There was,
therefore, no danger of intoxication, even if it was kept for long. At the most
it could tuln sour. Hence, both the narrations are correct. The objective is
protection against intoxication.

Comments:
'Like honey' means it used to be pure sweet. It contained no sourness. It is
obvious that in one night or one day, there is absolutely no possibility of it
turning sour. Though, if there is no intoxication, absolute sourness does not
render Nabidh unlawful. After all, vinegar also happens to be sour. And
vinegar is lawful and permissible.

So to speak, Ibrahim An-Naldlaii is solitaly or alone in this matter. All the
Companions and the successors or the Tibi'in consider an intoxicating
beverage forbidden, while IbralGm An-Nakhaii has been reported to condone
it in small quantity. Opposition of the consensus of the Prophet's Companions
is not an ordinary matter.

1. It has been described previously that AUih's Messenger @ often paid visits
to the houses of Umm Sulaym and her sister Umm Harlm, on account of his
having relationship with them. In this way, they used to get opportunities of
serving and honoring the Messenger of All& &$.
2. It should be borne in mind that here Nabidh s i me s fresh Nabidh.
bin ' Abdur-Ral ph bin Abza that
his father said: "I asked Ubayy bin
Ka'b about Nab;&, and he said:
'Drink water, drink honey, drink
Sawiq (barley gruel) and drink milk
that you have been nourished with
since childhood.' I repeated the
question and he said: 'Is it wine
you want? Is it wine you want?"'
(Da '3
Comments:
The objective of Ubayy bin Ka'b was that the Nabidh comes of all sorts;
intoxicating as well as plain. If I tell you that you should drink Nabidh, then I
am afraid lest you end up drinking intoxicating Nabidh, because slight
intoxication is often not felt.

fixation on Nabidh. Everyone drinks it, the little ones, the young and the old
alike.
2. 'Become intoxicated': This is because NabMh could cause intoxication. One
might probably not come to realize about its being intoxicating prior to
drinking. One might realize after drinking that intoxication had already
occurred in it. In this way, one could end up drinking an intoxicating beverage
unknowingly.

commanded Iblis and all the other angels to prostrate themselves before
Adam. He rebelled against All511 out of vanity and refused the Command of
Allah to prostrate before Adam, and was cast out from heavens. hlis rea-
soned to himself that he was superior to Adam since he was made of fire
while Adam was only made of clay. By this one act of defiance, Iblis in-
troduced the sins of pride, envy, and disobedience into the world. Hence, Al-
lah told him that he will dwell in Hell. Iblis asked Allah for a postponement
until the Hereafter. He also aslted Allah to allow him to mislead and tempt
humankind to error. This term was granted to him by Allah whereafter he
became the chief promoter of evil and prompted Adam and Eve to disobey
Allah's order. Allah told him that only the misguided ones would follow him
and that He would fill Hell with him and his followers. hlis swore that he
would mislead and misguide all the people except those sincere and devoted

erally means 'submission to the will of Allsh,' and refers commonly to an
individual's surrender and commitment to God the Creator through ad-
herence to the religion by the same name.The most important and pivotal
concept in Islam is the Oneness of God. See Al l a for more on the conept of
God. Islam teaches that all faiths have, in essence, one common message: the
existence of a Supreme Self, the one and only God, whose sovereignty is to
be aclrnowledged in worship and in the pledge to obey His teachings and
commandments, conveyed through His Messengers and Prophets who were
sent at various times and in many places throughout history. Islam demands
a commitment to submit and surrender to God so that one could live in
peace; peace (Saliim) is achieved through active obedience to the revealed
commandments of God, for God is the Source of all peace. Commitment to
Islam entails striving for peace through a struggle for justice, equality of op-
portunity, mutual caring and consideration for others' rights, and continuous
research and acquisition of knowledge for the better protection and utiliza-
tion of the resources of the universe.
The basic beliefs of Islam are: the Oneness of the only God who is Sovereign
of the universe; the Revelation of the teaching and commandments of God
through angels in heaven to Prophets on earth, and written in sacred writings
that all have the same transcendent source; these contain the will of God
marlhg the way of peace for the whole universe and all mankind; the Day
of Judgment which inaugurates the Afterlife in which God rewards and pun-
ishes with respect to human obedience to His will.

the reason for the creation of the universe.

religion for you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."A person

Jilt6d: (>lpJI) The word literally means 'to strive' or 'to exert to the utmost.'
It is an Arabic word the root of which is Jalzada, which means to strive for a
better way of life. The ilouns are Jtilzd, Mujdlzid, Jilzdd, and Ijtilziid. The other
meanings are: struggle, endeavor, strain, exertion, effort, diligence, fighting to
defend one's life, land, and religion. Usually understood in terms of personal
betterment, Jikdd remained a highly nuanced concept, it should not be con-
fused with Holy War, a common misrepresentation, the latter does not exist
in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War. The
latter refers only to the Holy War of the Crusaders. Jilzdd is not a war to
force the faith on others, as many people think of it. It should never be inter-
preted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an ex-
plicit Verse in the Qur'2n that says: "There is no compulsion in
religion."(Qur'2n: . , Al-Baqarah 2:256). Jihad is not a defensive war only, but a
Glossary Of Islamic Terms 428 &1~uyl wi &&
war against any unjust regime, or any evil that is rampant in the society. If
such a regime or a group exists that is spreading disinformation, and by that
creating the chaos, a war is to be waged against the leaders, but not against
the people to stop it. People should be freed from the unjust regimes and
influences so that they can freely choose to believe in Allilh and worshipping
Him. Not only in peace but also in war, Islam prohibits terrorism, kidnap-
ping, and hijacking, when carried against civilians. Whoever commits such
violations is considered a murderer in Islam, and is to be punished by the
Islamic state. During defensive wars, Islam prohibits Muslim soldiers from
harming civilians, women, children, elderly, and the religious men like priests
and rabbis. It also prohibits cutting down trees and destroying civilian con-
structions. In short, any cruelty or unjust practice with the enemies is also
prohibited in Islam, in fact introducing the highest human rights first time
before the world.

obedience to God. See Sarah 72 of the Noble Qur'gn. These are spiritual
beings that inhabit the world and are required to follow the orders of Allah
and are accountable for their deeds. They can be good or bad, just like peo-
ple. The word Jinn in Arabic means hidden, which indicates that they are

Kzn:vi extends over the entire universe, then how much greater is the 'Arsh.
Indecd AIlBh, the Creator of both the Kz~rsi and the 'Arsh, is the Most
Great.
Ibn Taymiyyah said in the chapters: a) To believe in the Kursi, b) To believe

ing additional prayers and supplications late into the night. [See the Qur'an

Qur'dn: (3iz;Jl) Meaning 'the recitation,' or 'the reading.' Qur'an is the
Noble Book, the Living Miracle, the last revelation from Allah to mankind
and the jinn before the end of the world, revealed to Prophet Muhammad
B, through the angel Jibra'il, over a period of 23 years, the first thirteen of
which were spent in Maklcah and the last ten of which were spent in Al-
Madimah. There is only one Qur'an in the whole world and it is in the Arabic
language. The Qur'an has one text, one language, and one dialect. It has
been memorized by millions of Muslims in different parts of the world. The
Qur'sin continues to be recited by Muslims throughout the world in the lan-
guage of its revelation, Arabic, exactly as it was recited by Prophet Mu-
hammad g nearly fourteen hundred years ago. It consists of 114 Szlrahs
(chapters). It is to be read and recited with rules and regulations. When to
be touched and to be recited, a Muslim is to be in a state of cleanliness and
purity. The authenticity and the totality of the Qur' a have been documented
and recognized. The Qur'Bn cannot be translated at all as the Qur'an re-
presents the exact Words of Allah. Any translation is considered to be the
explanation to the meaning of the Qur' h. The Qur' h is so rich and compre-
hensive in matter that it can easily guide men and women in all walks of
their life. It is the ultimate source of guidance for people in all aspects of
their spiritual and material lives. The Qur' h is viewed as the authoritative
guide for human beings, along with the Sz~nnah of Muhammad g. The
Qur'an amends, encompasses, expands, surpasses and abrogates all the ear-
lier revelations revealed to the earlier Prophets. The names and attributes
that are given to the Qur'an in the Qur'gn spealc for themselves. The Qur'gn
is also described to be bounteous, glorious, mighty, honored, exalted, pur-
ified, wonderful, blessed, and confirming the truth of previous revelations.
The Qur ' h has practically proved the truth and effectiveness of all of its
names and epithets in the life of all true believers, who practiced its teach-
ings sincerely and devoutly. The Qur'Bn has a universal appeal, regardless of
peoples' color, creed, nationality, and geographical divisions of the world.

thing, e.g., (i) Allah's House (Baytulldlz), (ii) Allah's Messenger; (iii) Alliih's
slave (IAbd~~lldlz); (iv) All211's spirit (Ralzulldlz) etc. The rule of the above
words is that the second noun, e.g., House, Messenger, slave, spirit, etc. is
created by Allah and is honorable with Him, similarly Alliil1's spirit may be
understood as the spirit of Allah, in fact, it is a soul created by Allah, i.e.,
Jesus, and it was His Word: "Be!" - and he was created (like the creation of
Adam). (B) But when one of the two is All511 and the second is neither a
person nor a thing, then it is not a created thing but is a quality of Allah,
e.g., (i) Allah's Knowledge ('Il~~zulldl~); (ii) Alliih's Life (Haydtullalz); (iii) Al-
lFi11's Statement (Kalinzulldlz); (iv) Allah's Self (Dlzdtulldlz) etc.

lam. The Slzari'alz is based upon the Qur'Bn and the Sunrzalz of the Prophet
Muhammad @, and is interpreted by scholars in deliberating and deciding
upon questions and issues of a legal nature.

Imam (Ieader). The largest group in Shi'ism believes that 'Ali was the first of
twelve Imams, and that the last one contimes to exist, albeit Iniraculously
and in a state of occultation (concealment from human view). The teachings
of these spiritual leaders are an additional source of Shari'ah (Islamic law),
used by Shi'i religious scholars to derive legislation and issue religious opi-
nions. So, a Shi'ah is a follower of the twelve Imams. Shi'ah Muslims may be

all qualifications which Allah has stated in His Book (the Qur'fin) or nicli-
tioned through His Messenger (Muhammad @, ) without changing them 01
ignoring them completely or twisting the meanings or giving resemblancc 10
any of the created things; e.g., Allah is present over His Throne as mcri-
tioned in the Qur'an. (V. 205): "The Most Beneficent (i.c., AlIBh) I.\tr/~~ri
(rose over) the (Mighty) Throne" over the seventh heaven; and Hc onl!
comes down over the first (nearest) heaven (to us) during the day of 'Ar;~lat

My Hands," (V. 38:75); and He also said: "The Hand of Allfill is oi,cr ~l i ci r
hands.": (V. 48:lO). This confirms two Hands for Allah, but thcrc is no siriii-
larity for them. This is the Faith of all true believers, and was thc Faith of all
the Prophets of Allah from Noah, Abraham, Moses and Christ t i l l the I;ist of
the Prophets, Muhammad @. It is not like as some people think t hi \ t Allfill
is present everywhere, here, there and even inside the breasts of men. Tlicsc
three aspects of Tawhid are included in the meanings of La ilaha illrrlldl
(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). It is also essential to follow
Allah's Messenger Muhammad &: WzIjCbz~l-Ittibii' and it is a part of
Tawhidz~1-UZz7hljyah. This is included in the meaning: "I testify that Mu-
hammad .& is the Messenger of Allah" and this means, "None has the right
