Ch 3 V 20

اے پیغمبر اگر یہ لوگ تم سے جھگڑنے لگیں تو کہنا کہ میں اور میرے پیرو تو خدا کے فرمانبردار ہو چکے اور اہل کتاب اور ان پڑھ لوگوں سے کہو کہ کیا تم بھی (خدا کے فرمانبردار بنتے ہو) اور اسلام لاتے ہو؟ اگر یہ لوگ اسلام لے آئیں تو بے شک ہدایت پالیں اور اگر (تمہارا کہا) نہ مانیں تو تمہارا کام صرف خدا کا پیغام پہنچا دینا ہے اور خدا (اپنے) بندوں کو دیکھ رہا ہے

"O mankind! There has come to you a guidance from your Lord and a cure for the disease in your hearts." (10:57)

That is, the Iman should enter the depths of the heart. Simply saying that I believe is not enough, according to the Quran (49:14).

CH 2 V 140

(اے یہود ونصاریٰ) کیا تم اس بات کے قائل ہو کہ ابراہیم اور اسمٰعیل اور اسحاق اور یعقوب اور ان کی اولاد یہودی یا عیسائی تھے۔ (اے محمدﷺ ان سے) کہو کہ بھلا تم زیادہ جانتے ہو یا خدا؟ اور اس سے بڑھ کر ظالم کون، جو خدا کی شہادت کو، جو اس کے پاس (کتاب میں موجود) ہے چھپائے۔ اور جو کچھ تم کر رہے ہو، خدا اس سے غافل نہیں

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:"One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'i, Ahmed and Ibn Majah)

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 1, book 2, number 12: None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.

Muslims are required to be merciful towards each other and be like the body where if any part hurts the whole body should feel the pain (Hadith).

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The example of the believers' love, affection, and mercy for one another is like that of the body: when one of its organs ails, the rest of the body responds and watches over it by contracting fever." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Allama Iqbal’s vision:

"Hawas ne tukre tukre kar diya hay na’u insan ko
ukhuwwat ka bayan ho ja mohabbat ki zaban ho ja
ye Hindi, wo Khurasani, ye Afghani, wo Turani
tu ay sharmindayeh sahil uchhal kar bekaraan ho ja"

"Shajar hay firqa arayee, ta’assub hay samar iska
ye wo phal hay jo jannat se nikalwata hay adam ko"

"Firqa bandi hay kaheen aur kaheen zatein hain
kya zamane mein panapne ki yahee batein hain"

"Tum syed bhi ho Mirza bhi ho Afghan bhi ho
tum sabhi kuchh ho batao ki musalman bhi ho"

"Masjid to banadi shab bhar mein imaan ke hararat walon ne
man apna purana papi hay barson mein namazi ban na saka"

"Wahi derina bimari wahi namuhkami dil ki
‘ilaj iska wahi aabe nishat angez hay saaqi"

"Zaban se kah bhi diya la ilaha illah to kya hasil
Dil-o-nigah Musalman naheen to kuchh bhi naheen"

"Manf-e-at ek hai is qaum ki nuqsaan bhi ek
ek hi sab ka nabi deen bhi iman bhi ek
harame paak bhi Allah bhi Quran bhi ek
kuchh bari baat thi hote jo Musalman bhi ek"

"Have you seen the one who has taken his own emotions as his god." (25:43)
Iqbal says regarding this type of person:
"Zabaan se gar kiya tauheed ka da’wa to kya hasil
banaya hay bute pindaar ko apna khuda tu ne"

"Batil du-ee pasand hay haq la sharik hay
shirkat miyan-e haq-o-batil na kar qubool"
"Batil (as opposed to Haq; the Truth) likes to compromise but Haq is uncompromising. Do not accept the middle ground between Haq and Batil."

"Wo mu’azziz they zamane mein Musalman hokar
aur tum khwar huey tarike Quran hokar"

Backbiting

The Prophet (s.a.w.) said "Be careful of backbiting because backbiting is worse than adultery, in that a person who commits adultery can repent and ask forgiveness from God, and Allah can forgive him whereas Allah will not forgive the backbiter until the person who was at the receiving end forgives him".
Description: Backbiting (gheebah) means mentioning something about a person (in his absence), that he hates (to have mentioned), whether it is about: His body, his religious characteristics, his worldly affairs, his self, his physical appearance, his character, his wealth, his child, his father, his wife, his manner of walking, his smile, it is the same whether you mention that about him with words, through writings, or whether you point or indicate him by gesturing with your eyes, hand or head.
As for the body, is when you make fun of how someone looks, or mentioning any bad quality in him, as saying: “he is blind”, “he limps”, “he is bleary-eyed”, “he is bald”, “he is short”, “he is tall”, “he is black”, “he is yellow”, “he’s too thin”, “he’s too fat”. As for his religious qualities, it is when you say: “he is a sinner”, “he is a thief”, “he is a betrayer”, “he is an oppressor”, “he doesn’t pray”, “he prays so fast”, “he does not behave well towards his parents”, “he does not pay the Zakat duly”.” As for the worldly matters, then it is when you say: “he has poor manners”, “he does not think that anyone has a right over him”, “he talks too much” …etc
Backbiting is so widespread among people that it has become an issue of people’s meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy. Those who indulge in backbiting are hiding their own imperfections and harming others. They are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves.

It was Narrated from Abu Hurayrah (May Allaah be Pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do you know what gheebah (backbiting) is?” They said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Saying something about your brother that he dislikes.” It was said, “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said, “If what you say is true then you have backbitten about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him.”

Narrated by Muslim, 2589
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by two graves and said, “They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip (nameemah), and the other used not to take precautions to avoid getting urine on himself when he urinated.” Then he called for a green branch, which he split in two and planted a piece on each grave, and said, “May their torment be reduced so long as these do not dry out.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 213; Muslim, 292
For a person to say of another, “He cannot control his tongue (or he has a loose tongue)” is undoubtedly one of those things that a person would dislike to have said about him. If it is true, then it is gheebah (backbiting), and if it is not true then it is buhtaan (slander).

It was Narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has wronged his brother with regard to his honour or anything else, let him seek his forgiveness today, before there will be no dinar and no dirham, and if he has any good deeds to his credit they will be taken from him in a manner commensurate with the wrong he did, and if he has no good deeds, then some of his counterpart’s bad deeds will be taken and added to his burden.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2317.

Abu Hurayrah reported that Allah’s Messenger[saw] said, ”Do u know Wat backbiting is?” the companions replied, ”Allah and His Prophet alone know.”. He said, ”It is mentioning about ur brother Wat he dislikes.” One of the companions asked, ”Wat if Wat I say about is true?” He replied, ”If Wat u say about him is true u have backbitten, and if it is not true u have slandered him”. [muslim]

Spreading discord and creating bitterness between a husband and wife are sins worse than killing someone. A foolish old man who had caused separation between his son and daughter-in-law, came to Imam Husayn (a.s.). The Imam (a.s.)told him, “I have heard that you have instigated separation between your son and his wife” When the man nodded his head in the affirmative, the Imam (a.s.)rejoined, “Do you know what magnitude of sin you have committed? Instead of causing their separation, if you had cut their veins your sin would have been lighter than what you have perpetrated!” If someone cuts off the veins of another and kills him in this painful way, how big a sin is this? If a person kills someone and cuts his dead body into pieces, he will rise on the Day of Judgement in the form of a dog or a beast. Imam Husayn (a.s.) is telling us that causing separation between husband and wife is a bigger sin than killing two people. This tradition tells us that making up tales and creating hatred between people is a sin bigger than taking human life.

اور طلاق والی عورتیں تین حیض تک اپنی تئیں روکے رہیں۔ اور اگر وہ خدا اور روز قیامت پر ایمان رکھتی ہیں تو ان کا جائز نہیں کہ خدا نے جو کچھ ان کے شکم میں پیدا کیا ہے اس کو چھپائیں۔ اور ان کے خاوند اگر پھر موافقت چاہیں تو اس (مدت) میں وہ ان کو اپنی زوجیت میں لے لینے کے زیادہ حقدار ہیں۔ اور عورتوں کا حق (مردوں پر) ویسا ہی ہے جیسے دستور کے مطابق (مردوں کا حق) عورتوں پر ہے۔ البتہ مردوں کو عورتوں پر فضیلت ہے۔ اور خدا غالب (اور) صاحب حکمت ہے

اور جب ان لوگوں سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ جو (کتاب) خدا نے نازل فرمائی ہے اس کی پیروی کرو تو کہتے ہیں (نہیں) بلکہ ہم تو اسی چیز کی پیروی کریں گے جس پر ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا۔ بھلا اگرچہ ان کے باپ دادا نہ کچھ سمجھتے ہوں اورنہ سیدھے رستے پر ہوں (تب بھی وہ انہیں کی تقلید کئے جائیں گے)

Ch 3 V 66

دیکھو ایسی بات میں تو تم نے جھگڑا کیا ہی تھا جس کا تمہیں کچھ علم تھا بھی مگر ایسی بات میں کیوں جھگڑتے ہو جس کا تمہیں کچھ بھی علم نہیں اور خدا جانتا ہے اور تم نہیں جانتے

Some of you might follow what your parents do and say when it comes to religion. The way
various things are to be handled and so on. We humans are a very strange creation. We
would look all over for the best insurance policy, for the best price on our latest car we wish
to buy, we would look everywhere to find the facts about certain product.

But why don't we do the same when it comes to the belief system that will decide our hereafter? Are you just living a life by saying the simple words that «this is how my parents did it»? Or do you have a few minutes on your hand to really see what you might be missing?

In the Holy Quran, God has challenged the mankind that they will not be able to create a single verse or line that matches that kind of grandness the Quran has, the way its absorbed by millions of people around the world, no man kind will ever be able to create something as beautiful. But let's not think about the beauty but the facts right now. What does Quran say about various things that science just recently «discovered»?

Miracles in the Quran

1. Honey and its healing affects
2. Where the seas don't mix
3. Whole universe was just a cloud of «smoke»
4. What Quran says about the clouds!
5. What Quran says about Mountains?
6. What the Quran says about the Deep sea?
7. Human Embryonic Development in the Quran
8. The Cerebrum mentioned in the Quran!
9. Leave corn in its ears!
10.The lowest area on earth!

Duty of parents

(66:6)

Desc of (66:6) : Children, in accordance to Islam are entitled to various and several rights. The first and foremost of these rights is the right to be properly brought up, raised and educated. This means that children should be given suitable sufficient, sound and adequate religious, ethical and moral guidance to last them for their entire life. They should be engraved with true values, the meaning of right and wrong, true and false, correct and incorrect, appropriate and inappropriate and so forth and so on. Allah, the Almighty stated in the Glorious Qur’an:

“ O ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones.” 66:6

Allah’s Apostle, PBUH also said: “Every one of your (people) is a shepherd. And every one is responsible for whatever falls under his responsibility. A man is like a shepherd of his own family, and he is responsible for them. “ This Hadith is reported by both Bukhari and Muslim.

Children, therefore are a trust given to the parents. Parents are to be responsible for this trust on the Day of Judgement. Parents are essentially responsible for the moral, ethical and the basic and essential religious teachings of their children.

If parents fulfill this responsibility, they will be free of the consequences on the Day of Judgement. The children will become better citizens and a pleasure to the eyes of their parents, first in this life, and in the hereafter.

Allah, the Almighty stated in the Glorious Quran:

“ And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds.” (52:21)

Moreover, Allah’s Apostle, PBUH said: “Upon death, man’s deeds will (definitely) stop except for three deeds, namely: a continuous charitable fund, endowment or goodwill; knowledge left for people to benefit from; and pious righteous and God-fearing child who continuously pray Allah, the Almighty, for the soul of his parents. “ This Hadith is reported by Muslim.

In fact, such a statement reflects the value of proper upbringing of children. It has an everlasting effect, even after death.

It is narrated by Abu Bakr, RAA, who said that Allah’s Apostle, PBUH was informed by one of his companions, al-N’uman bin Basheer, who said: “O Prophet of Allah! I have granted a servant to one of my children (asking him to testify for that gift).” But Allah’s PBUH asked him: “Did you grant the same to each and every child of yours?” When Allah’s Apostle, PBUH was informed negatively about that, he said: “Fear Allah, the Almighty, and be fair and just to all your children. Seek the testimony of another person, other than me. I will not testify to an act of injustice.” This Hadith is reported by both Bukhari and Muslim. Thus, Allah’s Apostle, PBUH called such an act of preference of one child over the others an act of “ injustice ”. Injustice is prohibited and forbidden in Islam.

Desc: But, if a parent granted one of his children financial remuneration to fulfill a necessity, such as a medical treatment coverage, the cost of a marriage, the cost of initializing a business, etc., then such a grant would not be categorized an act of injustice and unfairness. Such a gift will fall under the right to spend in the essential needs of the children, which is a requirement that a parent must fulfill.

Islam sees that if a parents fulfill their duties towards all children in terms of providing them with necessary training, educational backing, moral, ethical and religious education, this will definitely lead to a more caring child, a better family atmosphere and better social environment and awareness. On the other hand, any negligence in that parenthood duties can lead to the loss of a child or ill treatment to a parent at a later age.

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "Allah loves that you be just toward your children even when kissing them." (Ibn Al-Najjar)

(Imam Ali (A.H) ): No parents has given a better gift to his child than good manners.

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) of Islam says:
“The parents are responsible with regard to their children in the same manner in which the children are responsible with regard to their parents”

Imam Ali (P) says:
“The child has a right on his father and the father too has a right on his child.”

Imam Ali (P) says :
“The mind of the newly-born is like a vacant land which accepts every seed that is sown in it.”

Ref: Nahj al-Balagha, pp 903.
It considers the selection of a nice name for the child and giving him proper training and selection of proper and good profession for him to be the educational responsibilities (of the parents).
Ref al-Wassail al-Shiah, vol. III, pp. 123.
Imam Ali (P) says:
“One of the rights of the child is that his father should teach him the Holy Quran.

جو خدا کے اقرار کو مضبوط کرنے کے بعد توڑ دیتے ہیں اور جس چیز (یعنی رشتہٴ قرابت) کے جوڑے رکھنے کا الله نے حکم دیا ہے اس کو قطع کئے ڈالتے ہیں اور زمین میں خرابی کرتے ہیں یہی لوگ نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں

نیکی یہی نہیں کہ تم مشرق یا مغرب کو (قبلہ سمجھ کر ان) کی طرف منہ کرلو بلکہ نیکی یہ ہے کہ لوگ خدا پر اور روز آخرت پر اور فرشتوں پر اور (خدا کی) کتاب پر اور پیغمبروں پر ایمان لائیں۔ اور مال باوجود عزیز رکھنے کے رشتہ داروں اور یتیموں اور محتاجوں اور مسافروں اور مانگنے والوں کو دیں اور گردنوں (کے چھڑانے) میں (خرچ کریں) اور نماز پڑھیں اور زکوٰة دیں۔ اور جب عہد کرلیں تو اس کو پورا کریں۔ اور سختی اور تکلیف میں اور (معرکہ) کارزار کے وقت ثابت قدم رہیں۔ یہی لوگ ہیں جو (ایمان میں) سچے ہیں اور یہی ہیں جو (خدا سے) ڈرنے والے ہیں

اور جب انسان کو تکلیف پہنچتی ہے تو اپنے پروردگار کو پکارتا (اور) اس کی طرف دل سے رجوع کرتا ہے۔ پھر جب وہ اس کو اپنی طرف سے کوئی نعمت دیتا ہے تو جس کام کے لئے پہلے اس کو پکارتا ہے اسے بھول جاتا ہے اور خدا کا شریک بنانے لگتا ہے تاکہ (لوگوں کو) اس کے رستے سے گمراہ کرے۔ کہہ دو کہ (اے کافر نعمت) اپنی ناشکری سے تھوڑا سا فائدہ اٹھالے۔ پھر تُو تو دوزخیوں میں ہوگا

(اے پیغمبر) لوگ تم سے شراب اور جوئے کا حکم دریافت کرتے ہیں۔ کہہ دو کہ ان میں نقصان بڑے ہیں اور لوگوں کے لئے کچھ فائدے بھی ہیں مگر ان کے نقصان فائدوں سے کہیں زیادہ ہیں اور یہ بھی تم سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ (خدا کی راہ میں) کون سا مال خرچ کریں۔ کہہ دو کہ جو ضرورت سے زیادہ ہو۔ اس طرح خدا تمہارے لئے اپنے احکام کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے تاکہ تم سوچو

CH 2 V 264

مومنو! اپنے صدقات (وخیرات)احسان رکھنے اور ایذا دینے سے اس شخص کی طرح برباد نہ کردینا۔ جو لوگوں کو دکھاوے کے لئے مال خرچ کرتا ہے اور خدا اور روز آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتا۔ تو اس (کے مال) کی مثال اس چٹان کی سی ہے جس پر تھوڑی سی مٹی پڑی ہو اور اس پر زور کا مینہ برس کر اسے صاف کر ڈالے۔ (اسی طرح) یہ (ریاکار) لوگ اپنے اعمال کا کچھ بھی صلہ حاصل نہیں کرسکیں گے۔ اور خدا ایسے ناشکروں کو ہدایت نہیں دیا کرت

CH 2 V 269

وہ جس کو چاہتا ہے دانائی بخشتا ہے۔ اور جس کو دانائی ملی بےشک اس کو بڑی نعمت ملی۔ اور نصیحت تو وہی لوگ قبول کرتے ہیں جو عقلمند ہیں

the idea that “let everyone work so that I could eat” and (2) the thought that “it does not interest me if others die of hunger so long as I am full.” Islam eliminates the first of these vices through the ban of all kinds of transactions based on ‘interest and usury’, and the second through the command to pay Zakaat. Zakaat is the bridge between the various economic levels of the society.

Zakaat is the Islamic obligation, which every Muslim whose financial situation is above a certain specified minimum must pay. The purpose of giving Zakaat is to gain Allaah’s approval, and this is possible by serving people.
