AL-MA’IDAH (سـورة المائدة)

حيم ن الره ـ حم الره بسم الله

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful

Verse 5.3 - به والمنخنقة والم مت عليكم الميتة والدهم ولحم الخنزير وما أهله لغير الله ية والنهطيحة وما أكل حر وقوذة والمترد

و يتم ذكه ما إله بع ديما السه من كفروا الهذين يئس اليوم فسق لكم ذ بالزلم تستقسموا وأن النصب على تخشوهم ذبح فل نكم

ثم واخشون اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم ال سلم دينا فمن اضطره في مخمصة غير متجانف ل

غفور رحيم فإنه الله

Translation - Forbidden for you are carrion, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that which has been slaughtered while proclaiming the name of any other than Allah, and the animal killed by strangling or killed with blunt weapons, and one which died by falling, and that which was gored by the horns of some animal, and one eaten by a wild beast, except those whom you slaughter. (Also forbidden is) that, which is slaughtered at the altar (of idols) and that which is distributed by throwing of arrows (as an omen) as this is an act of sin. This day, the disbelievers are in despair concerning your religion, so do not fear them and fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have chosen Islam as your religion. However, if someone is forced by intense hunger and thirst and is not inclined towards sin, then indeed Allah is All Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Explanation

What is the purport of ( به عزه ) a thing which has been dedicated to other than Allah' - ' وما أهله لغير الله ?is forbidden') in the above verse (وجله

The above command is with reference to what we intend and commit by saying at the time of sacrificing the animal. The Makkan pagans used to say - بسم اللت والعزى ['Bismillati wal Uzza' - In the name of Laat and Uzza - the deities of Makkan pagans]. Against this, it was established in Islam that Muslims say - بسم الله الله اكبر [ Bismillahi Allahu Akbar - In the name of Allah and Allah is Supreme].

Islam teaches us to take the name of Allah ( عزه وجله) before everything we do.

It is in Hadith - It is narrated by Abu Hurairah ( عنہ یرضئ الله تعال ) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said : 'Every thing which does not start with the praise of Allah ( عزه وجله) is vitiated, devoid of virtue.

(Musnad Ahmed).


This is the reason Fateha and Eisaal-e-Thawab is so popular among Muslims. We cook food, sacrifice animals in the name of Allah ( عزه وجله) and dedicate recompense (thawaab) to Awliya Allah and dead

Muslims. The people who are dead surely get benefited from Fateha and Eisaal-e-Thawaab in their 'Life after Death'.

In Fateha, generally people read one time Sura Fateha, three times Sura Iqhlas (it is in Hadith that the recompense of reading 3 times Surah Ikhlas is equal to one full Quran), three times Durood and

in the end Dua for our dead relatives.

Deviant sects like Salafis, Deobandis and their like minded groups cite a part of this verse ( وما أهله لغير به is forbidden') - to claim Fateha (عزه وجله ) a thing which has been dedicated to other than Allah' - ' اللهas Haram. They also raise an objection saying why should we do things in a specific way? Put the

food in front, read Quran on it and feed people. Can't we feed the people without doing any such thing?

The answer is, because it is Prophet's ( و عليه وسلم صلى الله آله ) Sunnah to keep food in front and read Quran over it. It is a Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) practice for barakah in the food.

It is in Hadith - It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira ( عنہ ی رضئ الله تعال ) that he said : We were accompanying the Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) in a march (towards Tabuk). He (the narrator) said : The provisions with the people were almost depleted. He (the narrator) said : (And the situation became so critical) that they (the men of the army) decided to slaughter some of their camels. He (the narrator) said :

Upon this Umar ( عنہ ی رضئ الله تعال ) said to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) : Apostle of Allah (آله وسلم و I wish that you should pool together what has been left ,(صلى الله عليه out of the provisions with the people and then invoke (the blessings of) Allah ( عزه did it accordingly. He (the (صلى الله عليه وسلم the Prophet) upon it. He (the narrator) said : He (وجله narrator) said : The one who had wheat in his possession came there with wheat. He

who had dates with him came there with dates. And Mujahid said : He who possessed stones (seed) of dates came there with stones. I (the narrator) said : What did they do with the date-stones. They said : They (the people) sucked them and then drank water over them. He (the narrator said) : He (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) invoked the blessings (of Allah) upon them (provisions). He (the narrator) said : (And there was

such a miraculous increase in the stocks) that the people used their provisions fully (all through the journey). He (the narrator) said : At that time he (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) said : I bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am His Apostle. The servants who would meet Allah ( وجله ,without having any doubt about these (عزه would enter Paradise. (Muslim)

The deviant sects raise one more question, why should we do Fateha at a specific time in a year.? Like at the time of Prophet's ( و آله وسلم صلى الله عليه ) birth day, at the time of the death anniversary of Ghousul Azam Shaikh Abdul Qader Jilani ( ت الله عنہ ی عالرضئ ), or on 40th day after the death of a person and on certain other occasions?


The answer is, because it is Sunnah to keep specific days for specific works. There are many Ahadith which describe that Prophet Mohammad (آله وسلم fixed the days, dates and timings of (صلى الله عليه و specific things. This is the reason that the people of Sahih Iman, the truthful Ahle Sunnah wal

Jama'a, fix the dates for doing good deeds like Fateha and Eisaal-e-Thawaab.

(i) It is in Ahadith that Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) used to keep fast on the 'Day of Arafat', Ashura, and 15th Shabaan.

(ii) Prophet Mohammad ( ه وسلمصلى الله عليه و آل ) commanded to perform Child's Aqeeqa on the 7th Day of birth.

(iii) Prophet Mohammad (وسلم آله و عليه الله went to Ghazwa-e-Tabook on (صلى Thursday and he preferred to start journey on Thursdays.

(iv) Prophet Mohammad (وسلم آله و عليه الله used to keep fast on Mondays and (صلى Thursdays.

(v) Prophet Mohammad (وسلم آله و عليه الله used to go to Masjid-e-Quba on (صلى Saturdays.

It is important that when we intend to do a good thing, we should fix the time and inform people in advance about it so that they do not forget in view of their preoccupations with other things.

Deviant sects mislead Muslims saying that if you sacrifice an animal for Eisaal-e-thawaab for some

Wali Allah or dead Muslim, this is Haraam. With this logic, they claim the food of Fateha is Haraam.

It is in Hadith - At the time of sacrificing the animals Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله

بسم الله الله اكبر -اللهمه هذا عن محمد وآل -اللهمه هذا منك ولك used to say (عليه و آله وسلم [O' Allah ( عزه) this is for you and from you. O' Allah (وجله وجله عزه ) this is from Mohammad ( صلى الله

وسلم آله و وسلم) and 'Aal-e-Nabi (عليه آله و عليه الله In the name of Allah who is .' (صلى Supreme]. And - البلغ بى ني شهد عن هذا ان وجله ) O' Allah] اللهمه this is from the ones ,(عزه (your servants) who stood witness to my conveying your Message.] (Abu Dawood, Ahmad).

Slaughtering of animals for deities is different from sacrificing them in the name of Allah ( عزه وجله) for conveying recompense (thawaab) to the dead relatives.

All Muslims in the world sacrifice animals by saying "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar". Where is shirk in it? Muslims sacrifice animals in the name of Allah ( عزه وجله) and supplicate Allah ( عزه وجله) to convey its thawaab to the dead Muslims by taking their names. What is wrong in it?


Wahhabism / Salafism was invented in Arabian Peninsula in 18th century AD by Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhab who took Quranic verses revealed for the Mushrikeen of Makka and applied them on Muslim Ulema, Awliya Allah, Sufi Shuyookh and general Muslims and said those who do Fateha

and Eisaal-e-Thawaab are similar to the Mushrikeen of Makka. He branded all Muslim Ulema/Awliya and Shuyookh of 1000 years before him as Mushrikeen. The Salalfis, Wahhabis, Deobandis and their like minded groups follow him and other deviant scholars like him.

Verse 5.5 - وا لهم حل وطعامكم لكم حل الكتاب أوتوا الهذين وطعام ي بات الطه لكم أحله من اليوم المؤمنات لمحصنات

مس غير محصنين أجورهنه آتيتموهنه إذا قبلكم من الكتاب أوتوا الهذين من يكفر والمحصنات ومن أخدان متهخذي ول افحين

يمان فقد حبط عمله وهو في الخرة من الخاسرين بال

Translation - On this day all things that are good have been made lawful for you; and made lawful for you is the food of the people of the Book, as your food is made lawful for them. And lawful are the chaste Muslim women, and the women of the people of the Book who are chaste, (for marriage) and not fornication or liaison, if you give them their matrimonial money. Whoever turns a disbeliever after being a Muslim, all his deeds are wasted, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter.

Explanation

Allah ( عزه وجله) says that we can marry chaste women from the people of book. What is the meaning of 'Chastity' in this verse?

Here, chastity means, they should be morally chaste as well as their beliefs should also be chaste.

What is the meaning of chastity of belief?

It means, they should not believe that Isa (السلم السلم) or Uzair (عليه are the sons of God. They (عليه

should not worship the Idols of Prophets kept in Churches and Synagogues. Since the scriptures given to Christians and Jews have been corrupted, they should be inclined to believe their religions in purest forms avoiding the corrupted version contained in their books. They should believe in the version of the Quran which shows the correct version of belief in God. Quran is the only book that has not been corrupted so far. It is also important that they believe in the Prophet-hood of Prophet

Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) as the seal of Prophets. This is the meaning of chastity in beliefs

It is in Quran - ول نشرك به قل يا شيئا ول يتهخذ بعضنا أهل الكتاب تعالوا إلى كلمة سواء بيننا وبينكم أله نعبد إله الله

مسلم بأنها اشهدوا فقولوا تولهوا فإن دون الله ن م أربابا ون بعضا [ Say : 'O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you : That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and


patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say you : 'Bear witness that we are Muslims. ] (Aal-i-Imran - 64).

It is in Quran - ه واحد وإن لهم ـ ه إله إل ـ ثالث ثلثة وما من إل ا يقولون ليمسهنه لهقد كفر الهذين قالوا إنه الله ينتهوا عمه

ن كفروا منهم عذاب أليم الهذي [ Indeed those who say : 'Allah is the third of the Trinity' became unbelievers. There is no god but Allah. If they do not desist in what they say, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who disbelieve. ] (Al-Ma'idah - 73)

It is in Quran - ذ المسيح ابن الله النهصارى وقالت ابن الله عزير اليهود يضاهئون قول وقالت بأفواههم لك قولهم

يؤفكون أنهى الله قاتلهم قبل من كفروا The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the ] الهذين Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ] (At-Taubah - 30)

Verse 5.6 - لة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وأيديكم إلى المرافق وام سحوا برءوسكم وأرجلكم إلى يا أيها الهذين آمنوا إذا قمتم إلى الصه

منكم من الغائط أو لمستم الن ساء ف فاطههه الكعبين وإن كنتم جنبا سفر أو جاء أحد لم تجدوا ماء روا وإن كنتم مرضى أو على

ل موا صعيدا طي با فامسحوا بوجوهكم وأيديكم منه ما يريد الله ركم وليتمه نعمته عليكم فتيمه ليطه كن يريد يجعل عليكم من حرج ول

لعلهكم تشكرون

Translation - O' believers, when you stand up for prayer, wash your faces and hands up to elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of 'Junub' (seminal discharge), then take a bath and purify yourself. In case you are ill or traveling, or you have attended the call of nature, or have slept with your wife and you cannot find water, then stroke your palms on the clean dust and pass them over your face and your hands. Allah does not wish to impose any hardship on you. He wishes to purify you and complete His favor upon you so that you may be grateful.

Explanation

Three issues have been mentioned in the above verse; (i) Ghusl, (ii) Wudu, and (iii) Tayammum. We will discuss these briefly here.

(i) Ghusl

A Muslim, male or female is expected to take bath (Ghusl) after sexual intercourse, menstrual period, wet dreams etc.


There are 3 imperatives (Faraa'ez) of Ghusl, viz., (a) To rinse the mouth thoroughly, (b) To rinse nostrils thoroughly, and (c) Clean the impurity and thoroughly rub and wet the whole body, including the root of the hairs on head.

How Ghuls is done? First have the intention in heart to purify for major impurity. Then recite Bismillah and wash hands three times, then wash the private part. Then perform Wudu as done for Salah. Then pour water over the head and body three times, and rub the hair so that the water reaches the roots of the hair. Then wash the body, making sure that the water reaches all parts,

starting with the right side of the body and then the left, and rubbing it with the hands so that the water reaches the entire body.

(ii) Wudu

Wudu is performed for minor impurities, like a person has attended the call of nature, or passing of gas, etc.

There are 4 imperatives (Fara'ez) in Wudu, viz., (a) Washing the face from the top of forehead down to the lower portion of the chin and across from one ear to the other, (b) Washing both hands and arms up to the elbows, (c) Masah, wiping the head with wet hands, and (d) Washing both the feet up to the ankles

Sunnah of the Wudu are, (a) Intention, (b) Reciting Bismillah, (c) Washing hands three times up to wrists, (d) Brushing teeth with a tooth stick (Miswak), (e) Rinsing the mouth thrice, (f) Passing fingers (khilal) through the bottom of the beard with wet hands, (g) Khilal of fingers and toes (passing fingers of both hands against each other and passing them through toes, (h) Washing each

limb three times, (i) Doing Masah of the head once, (j) Doing Masah of the ears, (k) Doing wudu in proper order, (l) Washing each part, one after the other, without pause to make sure that no part gets dried before the next step.

Desirable actions of Wudu (Mustahabat) are, (a) Begin Wudu from the right side, (b) Masah of the nape, (c) Doing Wudu without assistance from others, (d) Sitting at an elevated clean place for

Wudu.

Not desirable actions (Makroohaat) of Wudu are, (a) Doing Wudu at a dirty place, (b) Blowing nose with right hand, (c) Chit chatting worldly issues during Wudu, (d) Wasting a lot of water during Wudu, etc.

It is imperative (fard) to do Wudu when one is in the state of minor ritual impurity, (a) before performing Salah, (b) reciting Quran or (c) touching the Mushaf of Quran.

It is Wajib to perform Wudu before circumambulation (Tawaf) of Kaba.


(iii) Tayammum

If there is no access to water, or if water can't be used in view of certain health conditions, Tayammum is performed in place of Ghusl or Wudu. There are four steps in doing tayammum. (a) Recite Bismillah and make Niyyah of Tayammum for Wudu or Ghusl, (b) Strike both hands on clean

earth, (c) Rub both the hands on the complete face (as in Wudu), (d) Again strike both hands on the clean earth and rub the left hand over complete right hand till elbow. Then rub the right hand over complete left hand.

Important point

There is a difference between imperatives (Faraa'ez) related to faith (Iman) and imperatives related to deeds. The one who ignores or rejects the imperatives related to basic faith of Islam is treated as out of Islam. In the imperatives of the deeds, the commandment is absolute, but in its implementation is subject to interpretation. Those who differ in this context, cannot be regarded as out of Islam.

For instance, the wiping of head (Masah) is one among the imperatives related to faith (Iman). No one can deny this commandment. If he does, he will be out of Islam. In the performance of how much head has to be wiped? This issue is subject to interpretation. It is where the differences of opinion occur between various Imams of Fiqh.

Verse 5.31 - غرابا يبحث في الرض ليريه كيف يواري سوءة ذا الغراب فبعث الله أخيه قال يا ويلتا أعجزت أن أكون مثل ه

فأواري سوءة أخي فأصبح من النهادمين

Translation - So Allah sent a crow scratching the ground, to show him how to hide his brother’s dead body; he said, 'Woe to me! I was not even capable enough to be like this crow to hide my brother’s dead body'. And he regretted his action (of killing his brother.)

Explanation

In five preceding verses (27–31), Allah ( وجله عليه ) describes the story of the two sons of Adam (عزه .namely, Habeel (Abel) and Qabeel (Cain) ,(السلم

Brief story


The information about this episode is mentioned in Quran. However, details about it are a sketchy in Islamic literature. Based on these accounts, it is reported that after the descent from the Heavens, Adam and Hawwa (عليهم السلم) started living on Earth. It is believed that Hawwa (عليها السلم) bore sets

of twins, and in each birth there was a male and a female child. And they were commanded that each son would marry the sister of his brother with whom she was born. No one was allowed to get married with his sister with whom he was born.

The incidence of killing of Habeel by his brother Qabeel was sparked when Qabeel refused to marry

the twin sister of Habeel who was designated to be married to him; preferring instead his own twin sister with whom he was born. When Adam (السلم saw Qabeel was adamant and insisted on (عليه marrying his own twin sister, he suggested both the sons to refer the matter to Allah and let Him decided the outcome. They were advised to offer sacrifices and whosoever was right, his sacrifice will be accepted by Allah ( وجله The sacrifice of Habeel was accepted. The modalities of these .(عزه

sacrifices and how these were accepted are not known, however, Quran testifies that the sacrifice of Habeel was accepted by Allah ( عزه وجله).

Qabeel was not satisfied with the outcome. He was discontented which probably bred envy and jealousy towards his brother. He threatened to kill his brother. Habeel was a pious and virtuous man. He said, even if his brother raises his hands to kill him, he will not resist. By saying so, he

wanted to cool down his brother and stop him from committing the crime. However, as the Quran testifies, he killed his brother and when he looked at the dead body of his brother, Qabeel did not know what to do with that as no other man on the face of the earth had died before that. Allah sent a crow digging up the earth to bury another crow who was dead so that he might show him how he should cover the dead body of his brother. Qabeel then knew how to bury the dead. He dug the

ground and buried the body of his dead brother. He realized his guilt and regretted his action.

Verse 5.33 - ورسوله ويسعون في الرض فسادا أن يقتهلوا أو يصلهبوا أو تقطهع أيديهم وأرجلهم إنهما جزاء الهذين يحاربون الله

لك لهم خزي في الدنيا ولهم في الخرة عذاب عظيم من خلف أو ينفوا من الرض ذ

Translation - The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle ( صلى الله

and perpetrate disorders in the land is that they be crucified, or their hands and feet (عليه و آله وسلمcut off from alternate sides, or they be banished far away from the land; this is their degradation in the world, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.

Verse 5.34 - غفور رحيم إله الهذين تابوا من قبل أن تقدروا عليهم فاعلموا أنه الله

Translation - But those who repent before they are subdued should know that Allah is forgiving and kind.


Explanation

Killing of innocent people is strictly prohibited in Islam. Allah ( وجله says, killing of an innocent (عزه person is like killing the entire humanity.

Islamic teachings are defensive in nature. Islam does not teach violence in any format. The Prophet وسلم) آله و عليه الله taught us Anti Violence. Violence is offensive in nature and anti-violence is (صلى defensive in nature. You need to learn and prepare to defend yourself, your family, your town and your country against the offensive violence of enemies. This is anti-violence.

Jihad is sometimes necessary to bring back peace in the land. Thus Jihad is defensive in nature. Preemptive strike against an existential enemy is included in it. Islam is against offensive Jihad that creates chaos, mayhem and dissensions in the land. Islam does not allow creating anarchy and destruction. Islam is against spreading hatred and terror among people. This is the clear message conveyed by the above verses.

Verse 5.35 - وابتغوا إليه الوسيلة وجاهدوا في سبيله لعلهكم تفل حون يا أيها الهذين آمنوا اتهقوا الله

Translation - O' People who Believe! Fear Allah, and seek the means towards Him, and strive in His cause in the hope of attaining success.

Explanation

All virtuous deeds are Wasila with which we seek to get proximity to Allah's ( عزه وجله). Sahih Iman, Salah, Zakat, Fasting, Hajj and Taqwa, all are included in it. However, among all virtuous deeds, the love of Allah ( عزه وجله and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) are supreme.

If someone wants to be in the proximity to Allah ( عزه وجله), it is important for him to first get to the

proximity to the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). As a matter of fact, Iman is not complete, if someone does not love the Prophet (آله وسلم و وجله ) as per the guidelines set by Allah (صلى الله عليه (عزه and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)

It is in Quran - أنفسهم من بالمؤمنين أولى is more preferable to the صلى الله عليه وسلم The Prophet ] النهبي

believers than their own selves.] (Al-ahzaab - 33)


It is in Hadith - Anas ( عنہ ی رضئ الله تعال ) narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said 'None of you will have Iman till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind. (Bukhari). Read more

Verse 5.58 - لك بأنههم قوم ل يعقلون وإذا ناديتم إلى الصهلةاتهخذوها هزوا ولعبا ذ

Translation - And when you call for Salah, they mock and make fun of it; this is because they are people without any sense.

Explanation

Making fun of the religion, the rules of Sharia or mocking at the call of Salah, are the works of hypocrites and the enemies of Islam. Therefore, it is not advisable for the Muslims to befriend and share their time with them.

Similarly befriending with the followers of the deviant sects, particularly with those whose past time

is to disrespect the Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه الله and dignitaries of Islam and make mockery of (صلى Awliya Allah and their pious graves is dangerous. They call the graves of the dignitaries of Islam and Awliya Allah as lying Idols worshiped by Muslims. They call Muslims as grave worshipers. In this scenario, how it is possible to be friendly with such people and listen to their blatant blasphemy? It is most likely that by continuously listening to their out of context arguments, you

will also fall victim to their hypocrisy and become one of them.

Verse 5.64 - ي ولعنوا بما قالوا بل يداه مبسوطتان أيديهم مغلولة غلهت وليزيوقالت اليهود يد الله دنه كثيرا نفق كيف يشاء

إلى والبغضاء بينهم العداوة رب ك طغيانا وكفرا وألقينا إليك من منهم ما أنزل للحرب أطفأها الله نارا كلهما أوقدوا القيامة يوم

ل يحب المفسدين ويسعون في الرض فسا دا والله

Translation - And the Jews said, 'Allah’s hand is tied'. May their hands be tied, and they are accursed for saying so. In fact, both His hands are widely open, He bestows upon whomever He wills. (O' Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) this Book which has been sent down to you from your Lord will cause many of them to advance in their rebellion and disbelief; and We have instilled enmity and hatred between them till the Day of Resurrection; whenever they ignite the flame of war, Allah extinguishes it, and they strive to create chaos on earth; and Allah does not love who create tribulations.

Explanation

Salafis, Deobandis and their like minded groups take the literal meaning of this verse and claim that Allah ( عزه وجله) has hands and a physical body like human beings.

When someone tries to explain their misconceptions, they create a hue and cry and say this is 'Kalam' (use of mind/philosophy/Biddah). They behave exactly like Christians who believe in Trinity. When someone questions Christians how it is possible that there are three distinct Gods, the Father God, the Son of God and the Holy Ghost; and then all the three are one? They shout back and

ask the person not to mix reasoning in religious beliefs.

Salalfis/Wahhabis and the like minded groups have deliberately misinterpreted Quranic verses and created a God of their own and have resorted to idol worship in the sense that they claim their God to have physical body who is sitting over a planet size chair above the seventh heaven and his face is

in a certain direction. When someones tries to explain them to learn Quran under the guidance of a Sahih-ul-Aqeedah Shaikh of Ihsan, they claim they can understand Quran by their self reading. This was the attitude of their founding Imams like Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn Abdul Wahhab and others.

It is in Quran - ا حكمات هنه أم الكتاب وأخر متشابهات فأمه الهذين في قلوبهم هو الهذي أنزل عليك الكتاب منه آيات م

ن تشابه منه ابتغاء الفتنة وابتغاء زيغ فيتهبعون ما اسخون في العلم يقولون آمنها به كل م والره تأويله وما يعلم تأويله إله الله

صلى – He Allah is, who has sent down to you (O’ Prophet ] عند رب نا وما يذهكهر إله أولو اللباب -the Book (Quran). Some verses of it are definite in meaning (Ayaat-e (الله عليه و آله وسلمMuhkamaat). These form the mother of the Book (the basic there in) and the rest are figurative (metaphorical) ( Ayaat - e - Mutashaabihaat ). But they, in whose minds

there is a tendency to deviate from truth, take the metaphorical (verses in their literal / textual sense) craving discord, and craving to give them their own interpretation, although none knows the reality about them except Allah. And those who make it right approach to knowledge could only say 'we believe therein all that is from our Lord'. None can catch their significance except those gifted with insight.] (Aal-e-Imran - 7).

Who are those who are gifted with insight? They are Khulafa-e-Rashideen, dignitaries of Islam, Shuyookhs of Ihsan and Awliya Allah who are rewarded with insight and proximity to Allah ( عزه .(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and His Apostle (وجله

It is in Quran - ن كذبا أو كذهب بآياته إنهه ل يفلح الظهالمون ومن أظلم ممه افترى على الله [And who is more

unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah ( عزه وجله) or (he who) gives the lie to His communications (verses of Quran); surely the unjust will not be successful.] ( Al-An-A'am-21).

To accept a body and limbs for Allah ( وجله whatever may be the kind, exclusively divine or ,(عزه creature like, is polytheism. Rather it is idolization of a false God.


Hindus got confused in understanding Allah’s ( وجله attributes and concede every attribute of (عزه Allah ( عزه وجله) as different God.

The Christian accept 3 different Gods, (i) the Father God, (ii) the son of God and (iii) Holy Ghost whose roles and shapes are different from each other.

It is in Quran - ه واحد وإن لهم ـ ه إله إل ـ ثالث ثلثة وما من إل ا يقولون ليمسهنه لهقد كفر الهذين قالوا إنه الله ينتهوا عمه

They surely are not believers in Allah who say Allah is the third ] الهذين كفروا منهم عذاب أليم

of the three (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost). And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (Al-Maidah - 73).

The Salafis/Ahle Hadith and like minded groups accept one Sky Idol God, with exclusive divine

face, eyes, hands and Limbs.

All these theories are philosophical, fabricated by human mind and are totally against the facts of this Cosmos.

Unless people have correct faith about Allah ( عزه وجله) and Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)

their chances of salvation on the Judgement are void.

Salafis argue that they are accepting Allah ( وجله is not like His creatures. Also accepting that (عزه creature attributes cannot be associated with him. Some Salafis even accept that the Quranic verses describing hands, eyes for Allah ( عزه وجله) are all allegorical / metaphorical. But, in the same breath

they associate all 9 physical characteristics mentioned above with Allah ( عزه وجله).

This behavior is hypocrisy, which is worse than polytheism.

It is in Quran - كذبا أو كذهب بآياته إنهه ل ن افترى على الله يفلح الظهالمون ومن أظلم ممه [ And who is more

unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or (he who) gives the lie to His communications (verses of Quran); surely the unjust will not be successful. (Al-An-A'am-21)

It is in Quran - أنفسهم وما يشعرون يخادعون إله آمنوا وما يخدعون والهذين -الله رض فزادهم الله مه قلوبهم في

يكذبون كانوا بما أليم عذاب ولهم وجله ) They seek to deceive Allah ] مرضا and those who (عزه believe. Nay, themselves do they deceive, though they are not conscious of it. There

is a disease in their hearts; so Allah ( عزه وجله) lets them increase their disease and for them there is a grievous torment for the false assertions they have made. ] (Al-Baqara - 9-10).

ONENESS (TAWHEED) OF SALAFI SKY GOD


Salafis translate Islamic Kalima as 'There is no Deity (Idol) save Allah.' When they say Allah is one, they mean that the Big Deity or Idol sitting on the skies is one, unique and no other Deity or Idol is

like him. They worship this idol 5 times a day.

Ibn Taymiyaah who propagated Paganism in the name of Islam, invented a theory of their Idol's Tawheed or Oneness of their Planetary human-like-Idol God.

According to Salafis, the oneness of their Sky God consists of three things.

(i) Tawheed-ar-Rububiyya

(ii) Tawheed al-Uloohiyya, and

(iii) Tawheed-al-Asma-was-Sifaat

In Tawheed-ar-Rububiyya, they claim that their Planetary human-like-Idol God is "Rabb" (Sustainer) of all creatures and human beings in the Universe.

In Tawheed-al-Uloohiya, they claim that their Planetary human-like-Idol God is Divine. They prostrate in front of this Idol. They say that they only ask from their Sky Idol God and from no one else. They demand all Muslims to bow down in front of their Planetary human-like-Idol God. Whoever does not do that, they call him Mushrik.

In Tawheed al-Asma-was-Sifaat, they claim that their Planetary human-like-Idol God is 'compassionate, merciful and all that. They copy paste all attributes of Allah ( وجله on their (عزه Planetary human-like-Idol God.

As a matter of fact, they copy-paste all Quranic verses and Ahadith about Allah ( وجله on their (عزه

Planetary human-like-Idol God by misinterpreting their meanings. Salafis have about 200 sub groups and a laarge number of followers of these sub groups. These facts show that by calling their Planetary human-like-Idol God as Allah, Salafis have led millions of people into Idol worship and all of them will sure be in a lot of trouble on the Day of Judgement.

Verse 5.76 - هو السهميع العليم ا ول نفعا والله ما ل يملك لكم ضر قل أتعبدون من دون الله


Translation - Say (O' Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم), What you worship, other than Allah, are neither the controller of your losses nor of your gains? And Allah is All Hearing All Knowing.

Explanation

It is obvious that the above verse and similar other verses in Quran are meant for idol worshipers.

But Salafis and their like minded groups impose these verses on Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله

Aimma, dignitaries of Islam and Awliya Allah and claim that for Idol worshipers, the idols are ,(وسلمstanding in the temples, and for Muslims, their idols are lying in graves. And they call Muslims Grave worshipers. Taking these verses as excuse, they have destroyed the pious graves of Sahabah, dignitaries of Islam, Ahle Bait-e-At Haar in Arabian peninsula, Syria, Iraq and other places in the world.

It is in Hadith - Abdullah bin Umar ( تعال عنہ یرضئ الله ) considered the Khawarij the worst of Allah's creation, and said, 'Verily they take the verses that were revealed about unbelievers and use them against the believers. may Allah be pleased with him, considered the Khawa rij rebels to be the worst of Allah’s creation and he said, “Verily, they take verses that were revealed about unbelievers and

use them against the believers. (Bukhari)

Salafis and their like minded groups are the worst kind of Kharijis ever witnessed in the history of Islam. They are worse than the Kharijis of Hadhrat Ali's ( عنہ ی رضئ الله تعال ) time. They followed the old practice of their ancestor Kharijis of imposing Quranic verses meant for non-believers on Muslims

and declare them as unbelievers and kill them en masse.

Verse 5.89 - كن يؤاخذكم بما عقهدتم اليمان فكفهارت باللهغو في أيمانكم ول ه إطعام عشرة مساكين من أوسط ما ل يؤاخذكم الله

لك كفهارة أيمانكم إذا حلفتم واحفظوا أيمانكم كذ عمون أهليكم أو كسوتهم أو تحرير رقبة فمن ل تط لك م يجد فصيام ثلثة أيهام ذ

لكم آياته لعلهكم تشكرون يبي ن الله

Translation - Allah does not hold you for meaningless oaths, He does take you to task for breaking the intended oaths; so the expiation of such oaths is to feed ten needy persons equal to the average of what you feed your family, or to clothe them, or to free one slave; and for one who has no means, is the fasting for three days; this is the expiation of your oaths when you have sworn; and fulfill your oaths; this is how Allah explains His verses to you, so that you may be thankful.

Explanation


Broadly speaking, there are 4 types of oaths, as follows.

(i) Absurd Oath ( لغو نیمی )

It is a nonsensical and an unintended oath. Since Allah ( عزه وجله) forgives most of the minor and even major sins, He does not hold people for verbal oath which is a nonsensical act of absurdity and foolishness. Saying 'By God' or 'I swear to God', on everything is an absurd oath.

(ii) Sinful Oath ( غموس نیمی )

This kind of oath is known as 'immersive oath' ( الغموس This is a sinful false oath taken .(يمين consciously and deliberately to conceal a truth. A false witness/testimony in a Court of law comes

under this category. You lied to hurt a person. In this case you need to seek forgiveness of Allah ( عزه and that person and compensate him for the loses he incurred as a result of your false (وجله testimony.

(iii) Intentional Oath ( منعقدہ نیمی )

The oath, taken with an intention and resolve, to do or not to do a thing, is known as an 'intentional oath'. If the work is bad and you have taken an oath of not doing it, you should hold on to your oath. If the work is virtuous and you have taken an oath of not doing it, then you should break it and

continue doing the good work. However, for breaking an oath, you are liable for expiation (كف اره). The expiation is, to feed an average amount of food to 10 poor people for one time or provide them with clothing which are suitable for them for Salah or free a slave and if you cannot afford these, then fast for 3 days.

It is in Quran - باللهغو في أيمانكم ولكن غفور حليم ل يؤاخذكم الله يؤاخذكم بما كسبت قلوبكم والله [ Allah will

not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He will call you to account for what you mean in your hearts. Allah is most forgiving and forbearing. (Al-Baqara - 225)

(iv) Oath of Separation ( لایا )

The husband takes an oath to separate himself from his wife. The duration of this separation has been fixed by Allah ( عزه وجله) to be 4 months. If he unites with his wife during this period, he has to offer an expiation and if this separation is extended beyond 4 months, it will become a 'cogent divorce' or 'effective divorce (بائن In a cogent divorce, the husband does not have the right to .(طلق call back his wife. However, if the woman is willing, she can marry him with a new dower (مہر).

Payment of the first dower was already expedient upon the husband. Now, a fresh dower will also become payable. This is the result of getting overwhelmed with anger on petty issues and using the name of Allah ( عزه وجله) for vows.


Verse 5.90 - فاجتنبوه لعلهكم تفلحون يا أيها الهذين آمنوا إنهما الخمر والميسر والنصاب والزلم رجس من عمل الشهيطان

Translation - O' believers indeed, intoxicants, gambling, (sacrificing on) stone alters (of idols), and the arrows you use for divination, are all acts of Satan. Keep away from them so that you may be successful.

Explanation

Intoxicants (khamr خمر) is that which overtakes the intellect. It includes all kinds of intoxicant, wine, drugs etc.

Gambling (میسر) includes all kinds of games of chance to win money.

Stone alter (انصاب) was the place where Makkan Pagans used to offer sacrifices for their Idols.

Use of arrows to find fortune was known as Azlaam ( ازلام). When Makkan Pagans were not sure about some work, they used to take three arrows. One was inscribed 'do it'; the other was inscribed 'don't do it', and the third was inscribed 'try again'. Whichever arrow hit the target, they used to act

accordingly.

Allah ( عزه وجله) says that all these things are filth ( رجس) and the deeds of Satan.

Prohibition of alcohol came in three stages. It is recorded by Ahmad in his Musnad that intoxicants

were prohibited in three stages.

After Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) immigration to Madina, some people still consumed alcohol and were also involved in gambling. Sahabah asked the Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه الله about these (صلى practices still continued by some people. On this the following verse was revealed

It is in Quran - مهما أكبر من نفعهمايسألونك عن الخمر والميسر قل فيهما إثم كبير ومنافع للنهاس وإث [ They ask you about intoxicants and gambling. Say, ‘There is great sin in both, and some benefit for people. The sin is greater than the benefit.] (Al-Baqara - 219)

After the revelation of above verse, many people abandoned the consumption of wine and

gambling. However, as the verse did not specifically prohibited both the things, some people continued with it.


After some time, the following command was revealed.

It is in Quran - لة وأنتم سكارى حتهى تعلموا ما تقولون يا أيها الهذين آمنوا ل تقربوا الصه [ O' Believers, do

not pray when you are intoxicated; instead, wait until you can understand what you are saying.] (An-Nisa - 43)

After the revelation of the above verse, many abandoned wine drinking. As it is very difficult to get rid of chronic wine addiction, some people could not abandon it altogether. However, following the

command, they curtailed drinking to smaller quantity only in the night so that they are not under its influence during Salah times.

After some time, the above verse (al-Maidah - 90) was revealed completely prohibiting alcohol and gambling.

Verse 5.103 - كنه من بحيرة ول سائبة ول وصيلة ول حام ول الكذب وأكثرهم ل ما جعل الله الهذين كفروا يفترون على الله

يعقلون

Translation - Allah has not commanded (to sacrifice) the camel with ears sliced (Bahira) or the she-camel (Saibah) or the she-goat (Wasilah) or the breeding camel (Haam), but the disbelievers fabricate lies against Allah; and most of them do not have any sense.

Explanation

The practices mentioned in above above verse are detailed below. .

Bahira ( بحیرة) - Bahira was the title of the camel. When the she-camel gave birth to her 5th calf, they used to see if it was male or a female. If it was male, they used to slaughter it and all men and women used to eat its meat. If the fifth calf was a female, they used to split its ear and used to call it Bahira. It was meant only for males who used to drink its milk. When she dies, all men and women

used to eat its meat.

Saibah ( سائبة) - A person, whatever he wanted from his possession, used to dedicate it in the name of an Idol deity and used to take it to the caretakers of the Idols. These caretakers used to give it to the travelers/visitors. If it was an animal, only male travelers were allowed to eat its meat after

slaughter. If the animal died of its natural death, its meat used to be eaten by both men and women travelers.


Wasilah ( وصیلة) - When the goat gave birth to the 7th kid, and if it was a male, they used to slaughter it and all men and women used to eat its meat. If it was a female, they will let it live but women were not allowed to drink its milk. When this goat dies its natural death, both men and women used

to eat its meat. If the goat gave birth to both male and female the 7th time, they used to keep both these goats alive and used to say that they have united both brother and sister. However, only men were allowed to benefit from them. Once they died, both men and women used to eat their meat.

Haam ( حام) - When the male camel used to mate with its grand daughter (female camel), they used

to say that the back of this camel is safe. They used to leave it to feed freely. It was not used for riding or for transporting goods. They used to make sure that other camels do not bother him. When this old camel dies, both men and women used to eat its meat.

Allah ( عزه وجله) says that He did not command Makkan Pagans for those practices.

There was a group of Makkan Pagans, the followers of Umru bin Lahi who used to say that they do not eat (i) Bahira, (ii) Saibah, (iii) Wasilah, and Haami because Allah ( وجله has forbidden them (عزه from it.

Surely, there was no truth in Pagans claims. The pagans were not aware of His commandments in

regard to what is allowed and what is forbidden. Their talk in this context was absolutely absurd.

It is in Quran - مت ظهورها وأنعام حر بزعمهم من نشاء إله أنعام وحرث حجر ل يطعمها وأنعام ل وقالوا هذه

اسم الله يفترويذكرون كانوا بما سيجزيهم عليه افتراء عليها ن [ And they said, 'These cattle and crops are forbidden; only those whom we wish can eat them in their opinion' and some

cattle are those which they have forbidden riding upon, and some cattle over which they do not mention the name of Allah while slaughtering. All this, is fabricating lies against Allah. He will punish them for what they fabricate. ] (Al-An'aam -138)

It is in Quran - م على أزواجنا وإن يكن ميتة فهم فيه شركاء وقالوا ما في بطون هذه النعام خالصة لذكورنا ومحره

عليم حكيم إنهه وصفهم And they say: 'Whatever is in the wombs of these cattle is ] سيجزيهم only meant for men and forbidden for their women; but in case of an still-born, both could eat it.' (And they claim it is from God). Allah will punish them for what they assert. He is All Wise and All Knowing. ] (Al-An'aam -139)

It is in Quran - بل اثنين ومن البقر ا اشتملت عليه أرحام النثيين أم كنت ومن ال م أم النثيين أمه م اثنين قل آلذهكرين حره

كذبا ليضله النهاس بغير ن افترى على الله بهذا فمن أظلم ممه ل يهدي القوم الظهالمين ع شهداء إذ وصهاكم الله لم إنه الله [ And there are two of camels and two of oxen. Ask them, which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs? Were you present at the time when Allah commanded it?" Who then could be more wicked

than he who fabricates a lie and ascribes it to Allah to mislead men, without any knowledge? Allah does not guide the unjust. ] (Al-An'aam -144)


Verse 5.106 - بينكم إذا حضر أحدكم الموت حين الوصيهة اثنان ذوا عدل منكم أو آخران من غيركم يا أيها الهذين آمنوا شهادة

لة فيقس إن ارتبتم ل نشتري به ثمنا ولو مان إن أنتم ضربتم في الرض فأصابتكم مصيبة الموت تحبسونهما من بعد الصه بالله

إنها إذا لمن الثمين كان ذا قربى ول نكتم شهادة الله

Translation - O you who believe, let two honest men among you be witness when you dictate your last 'will' as (the hour of) death draws near; and if death approaches while you are on a journey, two men other than yours. Detain them after the prayer, and if you doubt their word, make them swear by Allah that : 'We shall not take a bribe even though it be offered by a near relative, nor hide the testimony of Allah, for then we shall surely be sinful.'

Explanation

Everything that we own goes to our heirs after death except one third of our wealth which can be given to a non-heir. It is important that everyone of us leave our inheritance in such a way that the

heirs do not get confused in its distribution. Thus, 'the will of inheritance' is an important document that should be prepared during the lifetime and placed at a safe place.

In the Tafseer of Surah al-Baqara and in An-Nisa, the issue of inheritance has been discussed in detail.

The above verse explains what a person should do if death approaches him and he has not already prepared his 'will'. That person should take two people from Muslims to tell them how to distribute his inheritance. These persons should be righteous and honest so that they don’t cheat the dying person with regards to his bequest.

In case death approaches when the person is traveling and he does not find Muslims, he can take two non-Muslims and hand over cash or belongings he had with him at that time to take them to his heirs and tell them how to distribute his inheritance. In this case, a situation may arise that the deceased family, upon receiving the belongings, suspect that a few items are missing or the witnesses are not telling the whole truth. In this scenario, the witnesses will be asked to stay and

after the Salah, they will be asked to swear by God for their truthfulness. When the witnesses have taken their testimony to the truthfulness of their statement, they cannot be suspected or accused by the family members. The following two verses explains what happens if the two witnesses were found guilty of perjury.
