    Worshipping Allah - To obey Allahs

    commandments and to do a thing that conforms

    with His religion just to please Allah.

    Anything done without the intention to please

    Allah subhanawatala is outside the loop of

    Allahs worship.

    Al-Quran 6:162 (Al-Anaam)

    Does worshiping Allah includes only

    Ibadaat like Salah, Zakah, Hajj etc.

    (162. Say: "Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for

    Allah, the Lord of all that exists.'')11

    HADEETH

    Narrated Abu Musa:Allah's Messenger ( ) said, "The example of a

    good companion (who sits with you) in comparison

    with a bad one, is like that of the musk seller and

    the blacksmith's bellows (or furnace); from the firstyou would either buy musk or enjoy its good smell

    while the bellows would either burn your clothes or

    your house, or you get a bad nasty smell thereof.

    Al-Quran 25:27-30 (Al-Furqan)

    Who helps you follow the

    way of Rasool Allah(pbuh)

    Who helps you in takingheed from Quran rather

    than ignoring it

    Who makes you take

    guidance from Quran

    rather than treating it as

    an insignificant thing..

    WE MUST LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES IN A

    FRIEND

    Must be performed for Allah's sake alone.

    They must conform with the religion (method of theMessenger).

    (Tafseer ibn Katheer)

    The Messenger of Allah said, Whoever performs a

    deed that does not conform with our matter (religion),

    then it will be rejected.Muslim (Tafseer ibn katheer)

    HADEETH

    There are two conditions for deeds to be accepted:

    "Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger.''

    23

  • 7/30/2019 "WISH! I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THAT PERSON A FRIEND" (Ref: Al-Furqan, Ayah 28) By Atiya Arshad

    24/100

    The good deeds of the priests and rabbis will not be accepted, even if they are

    sincerely for Allah alone, because these deeds do not conform with the method

    of the Messenger, who was sent for all mankind. Allah said regarding such

    cases,

    (And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers,

    polytheists, sinners) did, and We shall make such deedsas scattered floating particles of dust.) (25:23)

    (As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage

    in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until hecomes up to it, he finds it to be nothing.) (24:39)

    (Tafseer ibn Katheer)

    HADEES-E- QUDSI

    On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be

    pleased with him), who said that the Messenger ofAllah (PBUH) said: Allah (glorified and exalted be He)

    said:

    I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having

    an associate. Thus he who does an action for

    someone else's sake as well as Mine will have that

    action renounced (rejected) by Me to him whom he

    associated with Me.

    It was related by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).

    Doing good deed to get admired

    (Hidden/minor shirk).

    Example:

    28/100

    Doing good deed to make other feel

    obliged by repeated mentioning .

    Al-Quran 2:264 (Al-Baqarah)

    (264. O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by

    reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be

    seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness

    is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain

    which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have

    earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.)

    Example:

    He led me astray from the Reminder after it had come tome

    The company influences you in an unfelt way.

    You wont feel how it changes you

    Example:

    You visit to a family for some days where the home

    environment is such that everyone is punctual in Salah. You

    also feel like praying it if you were not that regular.

    While if you visit a family where there is no trend of praying

    salah, you also miss the prayers which you were somehow

    praying off and on. In such company time of Salah just

    passes while people remain busy playing cards or doingouting or visiting places etc. 29

    of what you do.) (19. And be not like those who forgot Allah, and He causedthem to forget themselves. Those are the rebellious.) (20. Not equal are the

    dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of

    Paradise that will be successful.)Al-Quran 59:18-20 (Al-Hashr)

    Meaning, do not forget the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted, otherwise, He will

    make you forget to perform the good deeds that benefit you in your return,

    because the recompense is equated with the action. (Tafseer ibn katheer)

    THE REAL BANKRUPT (MUFLIS)

    The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked one group of his

    companions, Do you know who the bankrupt person is?

    They said, A bankrupt person amongst us is the one who has neither

    money nor property.

    The Prophet (pbuh) said, The bankrupt person of my nation is he whowould come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer and fast and

    Zakah. And at the same time, he would come having abused (or

    insulted or offended) this one, and slandered that one, and consumed

    the wealth of the other unlawfully, and shed the blood of yet others

    and having beaten others. Then any person whom he has wrongedwill be given from his good deeds on that Day. And if his good deeds

    are exhausted until he clears the account concerning all of the people

    he has oppressed, the sins of those people whom he has wronged will

    be thrown unto his account and after that, he will be thrown into the

    hellfire. (Muslim)

    Allah clearly forbids to be in Suspicion with, to

    Spy on each other and to Backbite

    Al-Quran 49:12 (Al-Hujurat)

    (12. O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion; indeed some suspicion

    is sin. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like

    to eat the flesh of his dead brother, you would hate it. And have Taqwa

    of Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance,

    Most Merciful.)

    Abu Huraira reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be

    know best. Thereupon he [the Holy Prophet (pbuh)]

    said: backbiting implies your talking about your brother

    in a manner which he does not like. It was said to him:

    What is your opinion about this that if I actually find

    (that failing) in my brother which I made a mention of?

    He said: If (that failing) is actually found (in him) what

    you assert, you in fact backbited him, and if that is not

    in him it is a slander (tauhmat).

    Allah orders not to laugh at each other and do

    not find fault with your own people nor call each

    other by (offensive) nicknames

    Al-Quran 49:11 (Al-Hujurat)

    O you who believe! No people shall laugh at (another) people, it may be that

    the (latter) are better than the (former). Nor shall women laugh at other women,

    it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former). Do not find fault with

    yourself (your own people), nor defame by calling each other by (offensive)

    nicknames: Evil is the name of wickedness after faith. And whosoever does not

    repent, and then such are indeed wrongdoers.)

    Allah's Prophet said, "When Allah decrees some order in the heaven, the

    which sounds like chains being dragged on rock. And when the state offear disappears, they ask each other, "What has your Lord ordered? They

    say that He has said that which is true and just, and He is the Most High,

    the Most Great." (34.23). Then the stealthy listeners (devils) hear this

    order, and these stealthy listeners are like this, one over the other."

    (Sufyan, a sub-narrator demonstrated that by holding his hand upright andseparating the fingers.) A stealthy listener hears a word which he will

    convey to that which is below him and the second will convey it to that

    which is below him till the last of them will convey it to the wizard or

    foreteller. Sometimes a flame (fire) may strike the devil before he can

    convey it, and sometimes he may convey it before the flame (fire) strikeshim, whereupon the wizard adds to that word a hundred lies. The people

    will then say, 'Didn't he (i.e. magician) tell such-and-such a thing on such-

    and-such date?' So that magician is said to have told the truth because of

    the Statement which has been heard from the heavens.
