Allah’s Revelation To Bee

[16. Surah Nahl: Ayah 68-69] “And your Lord revealed to the bee saying: Make hives in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build. Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from within it a beverage of many colors, in which there is healing for men; most surely there is a sign in this for a person who reflects.”

[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 71, Number 582] Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): The Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, “There is no disease that Allah has sent down, except that He also has sent down its treatment.”

[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 71, Number 584] Narrated Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anhu): The Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, “Healing is in three things: cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization (branding with fire) but I forbid my followers to use cauterization (branding with fire).”

[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 71, Number 588] Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (Radi Allah Anhu): A man came to Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) and said, ” My brother has abdominal trouble.” The Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said to him “Let him drink honey.” He returned again and said that I had done that but nothing changed. The Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, “Allah has said the truth, but your abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey.” So he made him drink honey and he was cured.

In Search Of The Prophet

I found my source of adoration for you in the love and respect that the Almighty has proclaimed for you; in the honor that He bestowed upon you; in His confirmation of you as “the ultimate exemplar”; “seal of Prophets” and “mercy unto all existence”.

O Prophet of Allah, where shall I find the source of my adoration for you? I have memorized hundreds of your sayings since my youth, taught your seerah (example) to numerous students, grown a beard, used the miswaak, sang, and proudly taught others odes (qasidahs) in praise of you. But I did not find you in these rituals nor did any of these make me anymore like you; rather they merely flung me into the fray of insignificant debates in the arena of so many of the sunnahless Muslims who see your Sunnah only as an endless array of harsh laws and practices or as some justification for their cultural tendencies. O Allah, save me from being of those who consider the Sunnah of Thy beloved as being expressed only through aimless imitations and who know Thy Prophet only as a conveyor of commands and warnings. O Prophet of Allah, I did not truly find you in the books of fatawa (religious edicts), nor in grand seminars and conferences throughout the world, and certainly not in the harsh arguments between groups proclaiming mutually exclusive rights over you. I found my source of adoration for you in the love and respect that the Almighty has proclaimed for you; in the honor that He bestowed upon you; in His confirmation of you as “the ultimate exemplar”; “seal of Prophets” and “mercy unto all existence”. Allah has elevated the very memory of you and has made His boundless love accessible through obedience to you. I catch but a dimension of you through the instances of compassion you extended to others; how you played with the poor orphaned boy when other children refused to play with him, how you prolonged your prostration out of consideration that your change in posture may inconvenience or hurt your beloved grandson who had climbed on your back; how you blessed with Paradise the sinful woman for saving the life of a cat by making the water of the well accessible with her shoes; how you intervened and prevented a man from abusing his wife by teaching him that “the best of men are those who treat their wives the best”; how you patched your clothes, mended your shoes and did your daily household chores; how you wrestled with your nephew and raced with your wife; how you joked with the kids and carried the baggage of the elderly; how you hosted the Christians of Najran in your mosque and stood up to honor the bier of a Jew. O Prophet of Allah, why is it that so many of us who claim to be of you refuse to be like you. We sing for you and dress like you, but do not come near fulfilling the expression of love, care, and beauty that is generated from yourself. Why is it that we see in you that which suits our cultural, organizational, and chauvinistic interests, yet ignore the essence of what is essential to your being. Others who are not of you proclaim the multidimensional and multi-faceted nature of your personality. “The personality of Muhammad is most difficult to get the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of him I can catch. What dramatic succession of picturesque scenes? There is Muhammad (PBUH) the Prophet; there is Muhammad (PBUH) the General; Muhammad (PBUH) the King; Muhammad (PBUH) the Warrior; Muhammad (PBUH) the Businessman; Muhammad (PBUH) the Preacher; Muhammad (PBUH) the Philosopher; Muhammad (PBUH) the Statesman; Muhammad (PBUH) the Orator; Muhammad (PBUH) the Reformer; Muhammad (PBUH) the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad (PBUH) the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad (PBUH) the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad (PBUH) the Judge; Muhammad (PBUH) the Saint… In all these magnificent roles and all these departments of human activities, he is equally a hero.” (Professor Ramakrishna Rao). O Prophet! Your life example is an integrated biography, history, and law; it is above all a model of excellence. O Prophet of Allah, you have certainly been adored by many much more worthy than I. Yet, neither the inability to capture my appreciation of you with the eloquence of poets nor my weakness as a believer debars me from qualifying as one who adores you; for in the commemoration of your being do I find the dignity and honor of my existence.

Keep Away From Ill Thinking Suspicions

Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Keep away from ill-thinking/suspicions because ill-thinking is the greatest falsehood.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Commentary: During the Abbasid period, one of the scholars in Baghdad was greeted by an acquaintance who said “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?” Scholar: “Hold a minute, before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.” The Man: “Triple Filter Test ?” Scholar: “That’s right, before you talk to me about my friend it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test.

The first filter is Truth.
“Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true? “The Man: “No, actually, I just heard about it and, “Scholar: “All right, so you don’t know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter.

The filter of Goodness.
“Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good? ”
The Man: “No, on the contrary, “Scholar: “So, you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test, though, because there’s one filter left:

The filter of Usefulness.
“Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me? The Man: “No, not really.” Scholar: “Well, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”

Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) says: “O you who believe, avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh (meat) of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.” (Quran Surah Al Hujurat 49 A # 12)
