Anyone Killed A Person, Killed All Mankind. Anyone Saved A Person, Saved All Mankind

Allah’s saying: “Anyone killed a person, killed all mankind. Anyone saved a person, saved all mankind”

[5.Surah Al-Maidah : Ayahs 27]
“And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam (alaihi salaam) with truth when they both offered an offering, but it was accepted by one of them and was not accepted by the other. He said: I will most certainly slay you. (The other) said: Allah only accepts from those who guard (against evil).”

[5.Surah Al-Maidah : Ayahs 28-29]
“If you will stretch forth your hand towards me to slay me, I am not one to stretch forth my hand towards you to slay you surely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Surely I wish that you should bear the sin committed against me and your own sin, and so you would be of the inmates of the fire, and this is the recompense of the unjust.”
[5.Surah Al-Maidah : Ayahs 30-31]

“Then his mind facilitated to him the slaying of his brother so he slew him; then he became one of the losers. Then Allah sent a crow digging up the earth so that he might show him how he should cover the dead body of his brother. He said: Woe me! do I lack the strength that I should be like this crow and cover the dead body of my brother Earth? So he became of those who regret.”
[5.Surah Al-Maidah : Ayahs 32]

Because of that, We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!.

Sahabah Of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)

The companions (Radiallaahu Anhum) of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) are the criterion of the Truth. It was from the Sahabahs that the world learned what the Deen of Islam was. It is from the Sahabahs that we have been able to establish the true Shariah. It is from the Sahabahs that we obtained the Sunnah of our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam).

The Sahaabah constitute the pivots of Deen of Islam. They are the upholders and defenders of Deen of Allah. History cannot show us any other group which has sacrificed so much blood for the glory of Allah’s Name than the Sahaabahs – may the pleasure of Allah be with them perpetually!

Hadhrat Shah Waliullah (Rahmatullaahi Alayh) has recorded in his book, “Izaala-tul-Khifaa”, approximately one hundred verses of the Qur’an Majeed which put the seal on the sanctity and the elevated position of the Sahabahs. The Qur’an Majeed raises the Sahabahs to such a lofty status that to compare them (Sahabahs) with non-Sahabahs
would be a grievous error.

Said the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) “Fear Allah! Fear Allah with regard to my Sahabahs. Do not make them a target after me. Whosoever loves the Sahabah loves them because of my love. And, whosoever dislikes them because he dislikes me. He who harms them has harmed me. And, he who harms me has caused hurt to Allah. And, he who causes hurt to Allah, Allah will soon grab hold of him.” – Tirmizi

Hasan Basri And the Fire-Worshipper

Hasan Basri is revered as one of the greatest saints of early Islam. Brought up in Basra, he met many companions of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam including seventy of those who fought at the Battle of Badar.

Hasan Basri’s neighbour Simeon, a fire worshipper, fell ill and was on deathbed. Hasan called on him and found him discoloured with fire and smoke.

Fear God, Hasan counselled him. You have passed all your life amid fire and smoke. Embrace Islam so that God may have mercy on you.

Three things keep me from becoming a Muslim,
Simeon replied. First, you speak ill of the world, yet you run after worldly things day and night. Second, you fear facing death, yet you do not prepare for it. Third, you believe in seeing God’s face, yet you do everything contrary to His good pleasure.

This is the token of those who know truly, Hasan commented. Now if believers act as you describe, what have you to say? They acknowledge the unity of God whereas you have spent your life in fire worship. You who have worshipped fire for seventy years and I who have never worshipped fire – we are both carried off to Hell. Hell will consume both you and me. God will pay no regard to you; but if God so wills, the fire will dare not burn one hair
of my body. For fire is a thing created by God; and the creature is subject to the Creator’s command. Come now, you who have worshipped fire for seventy years; let us both put our hands into the fire, then you will see with your own eyes the impotence of fire and the omnipotence of God. Saying that Hasan thrust his hand into the fire and held
it there. Not a particle of his body was affected or burnt.

When Simeon saw this he was amazed. The dawn of true knowledge began to break. For seventy years I have worshipped fire, he groaned. Now only a breath or two remains to me. What am I to do? Become a Muslim, Hasan replied.

If you guarantee in writing that God will not punish me, said Simeon, then I will believe. But until I have it in writing, I will not believe it. Hasan wrote it down and the witnesses endorsed the document. Then Simeon wept bitterly and accepted Islam. He spoke his last testament to Hasan. When I die, bid them wash me, then commit me to the earth with your own hands, and place this document in my hand. This document will be my proof. Having charged Hasan thus, he spoke the attestation of faith and died. They washed his body, said the prayer over him, and buried him with the document in his hand.

That night Hasan went to sleep pondering what he had done. How could I help a drowning man, seeing that I am drowning myself? Since I have no control over my own fate, why did I venture to prescribe how God should act? With this thought he fell asleep and saw Simeon in a dream glowing like a candle; on his head was a crown, robed in fine raiment, he was walking with a smile in the garden of Paradise. How are you, Simeon? Hasan inquired.
Why do you ask? You can see for yourself, Simeon answered. God Almighty of His bounty brought me nigh His presence and graciously showed me His face. The favours He showered upon me beggar description. You have honoured your guarantee; so take your document. I do not need it anymore.

When Hasan awoke, he saw that parchment in his hand. O God, he cried, I know well that what You do is without cause, save of Your bounty. Who shall suffer loss at Your door? You grant a fire worshipper of seventy years to come into Your near presence because of a single utterance. How then will You exclude a believer of seventy years?

The Majority Of Women In Hellfire!

O’ my beloved sisters in Islam; do not occupy yourself with worldly desires such as following the daily trends of fashion, watching Bollywood movies, singing and dancing to tunes that contain statements that are forbidden in Islam, and do not freely mix yourself amongst men (Muslim/non-Muslim), do not leave your homes dressed to impress the evil within society, do not pose with high heels, do not display yourself openly while you are covered, do not draw attention by acting foolishly in the streets, protect yourself from the evil within you, the cursed Shaytaan, and the evil that you drag with you.

Wake up! and realize you are not promised tomorrow. Repent to your Lord, the Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. Ask for guidance, patience, and strength. May Allah, the Most High, protect us and guide us so that our ultimate goal in this life is to obtain His Pleasure; Ameen

“Know they not that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allah and His Messenger, certainly for him will be the fire of Hell to abide therein? That is extreme disgrace”. (9:63)

Most of the sinners amongst the monotheists who enter Hell will be women, as is reported in as-Saheehayn, via Ibn ‘Abbaas: in the khutbah given during a solar eclipse, the Prophet (sallahu’alayhi wa sallam) said,

“I saw Hell and I saw that most of its inhabitants were women”.

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri reports: The Prophet (sallahu’alayhi wa sallam) said, “O women give in charity, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.”
They asked, “Why is that so, O Messenger of Allaah (saw)?”
He said, “Because you curse too much and are ungrateful for good treatment”. (al-Bukhaari and Muslim)

Usaamah ibn Zayd reported that the Prophet (sallahu’alayhi wa sallam) said: “I stood at the gate of Hell, and saw that most of those who entered were women”. (al-Bukhaari and Muslim)

Muslim reports from ‘Imran ibn Husayn (RA) that the Prophet (sallahu’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Few of the inhabitants of Paradise are women”.

“Women will be few among the inhabitants of Paradise because in most cases they prefer the immediate pleasures of this life, as they are less wise and unable to keep the Hereafter in mind. They are too weak to strive and prepare themselves for it and are more inclined towards this world. In spite of all this, they are the strongest factor in this world that distracts men from the Hereafter, because men are inclined to desire them and they are not concerned with the Hereafter. They are quick to follow those who call them to deviate from Islam and reluctant to follow those pious people who call them to the Hereafter and righteous deeds”. (al-Qurtubee, at-Tadhkirah, 1/369)

In spite of all this, there are many righteous women among them, who stay within the limits set by Allah (SWT), adhere to His laws, and obey Allah (SWT) and His Messenger. Many of these women will enter Paradise, and many of them excel over men in their faith and righteous deeds.

My dear sisters in Islam, prove yourself wrong and be amongst the righteous women of Islam. Dedicate yourself to obey the commands of your Lord, and His Messenger (sallahuàlayhi wa sallam) and realize that there is NO pleasure in other than which pleases your Creator.

O Muslimah!

Fear Your Lord!
Give charity and repent before it’s too Late!
O my dear sisters in Islam
Wear your hijab – preserve ur modesty – say NO to envy and backbiting!
Be a practicing and exemplary Muslimah for you are the PEAR OF ISLAM!
May Allah bless you all…
Ameen
