RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON

By retracing our life, we start with understanding
our basic nature as a human being - having
inherent powers and their potentialities to be
developed.



In our relationship regarding our Education – we
are to encounter, i.e. assisted by our educators with what is referred to as, “knowledge”.



Yet, we are born helpless and have to be cared,
nurtured, to be inculcated with discipline, taught and
developed by a Murabbi’ (EDUCATOR) – the first of
whom are our PARENTS.

WHAT ARE THESE AND HOW TO INCULCATE. ?


TO PROCEED FROM PREVIOUS LESSON ...


“Say [O Prophet]: "If you love Allah, follow me, [and] Allah will
love you and forgive you your sins; for Allah is much-forgiving, a
dispenser of grace.”
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 31)


“O YOU who have attained to faith! Remain conscious
of Allah, and be among those who are true to their
word (Swodiqeen)!”
(Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 119)


“With all this, it is not desirable that all of the believers
take the field [in time of war]. From within every group
in their midst, some shall refrain from going forth to
war, and shall devote themselves [instead] to acquiring
a deeper knowledge of the Faith (LIYA TAFAQ-QAHUFID-DEEN). and [thus be able to] teach their homecoming brethren, so that these [too] might guard
themselves against evil.”
(Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 122)


“O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not put yourselves
forward in the presence of [what] Allah and His Messenger
[may have ordained], but remain conscious of Allah: for, verily,
Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing!”
(Qur’an: Hujurat: 49: 1)

 This “Adab” requires “TaqwaAllah” at all times; to be conscious
that there are already injunctions, commandments, teachings,
opinions, advices, etc. already in al-Islam – which we are here told
by Allah s.w.t. “not to be bold as to precede i.e. by placing ourselves
and our opinions before these.” Our states of mind (ahwal) is
always self-centred and are in fact attached to our desires. As
Prophet Yusuf ibn Ya’kub a.s. lamented:

always self-centred and are in fact attached to our desires. As
Prophet Yusuf ibn Ya’kub a.s. lamented:
“And yet, I am not trying to absolve myself: for, verily, man's
inner self does incite [him] to evil, and saved are only they
upon whom my Sustainer bestows His grace. Behold, my
Sustainer is much forgiving, a dispenser of grace!“
(Qur’an: Yusuf: 12: 53)

 Consider again these verses:

“Indeed, Allah confers blessing (salutations) upon the
Prophet, and His angels salutes [him too and ask Allah to
bless him]. O you who have believed, salute him [also] and
ask Allah to confer blessing upon him [worthy of his
station] and [to grant him] peace.”
(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 56)

 Consider again these verses:

“O you who have attained to faith! Enter (surrender,
submit) into Islam completely [and perfectly],”
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 208)


 Here, the meaning of “yusallimu tasleema” and “udkhulu fee-silmi
kaa-fa” becomes profoundly significant (to me), indicating there are
yet a higher requirement for us to attain to.
 Thus it is obligatory for us to constantly seek Allah’s forgiveness for
our neglect. Many do not even realise this aspect of our
transgressing Allah’s and His Messenger’s rights daily.
Astaghfirullah!

“"O our Sustainer! We have sinned against ourselves -and
unless Thou grant us forgiveness and bestow Thy mercy
upon us, we shall most certainly be lost!"
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 23)


 We should be humble, and must realise that we are in fact so
utterly flawed (and are in fact ‘sinning’, i.e. being unjust to
ourselves) for we are inadvertently breaching this ruling in life.
 How much and how often have we neglected to be vigilant on this
matter? Entertaining our bloated ego and self-importance?
 Perhaps some may plead ‘ignorance’, but surely to yet then
continue to remain ignorant, is also a sin, isn’t it? Had it not for
Allah’s Mercy and forgiveness we would be utterly ruined.


“ ... and neither does he (Muhammad) speak out of his
own desire: that [which he conveys to you] is but [a
divine] inspiration with which he is being inspired –
something that a very mighty one has imparted to him:”
(Qur’an: Najm: 53: 3-5)

“He it is who has sent unto the unlettered people an apostle from
among themselves, to convey unto them His messages, and to
cause them to grow in purity, and to impart unto them the divine
writ as well as wisdom - whereas before that they were indeed,
most obviously, lost in error”
(Qur’an: Jumu’ah: 62: 2)

“Hence, accept [willingly] whatever the Messenger gives you
[thereof], and refrain from [demanding] anything that he
withholds from you; and remain conscious of Allah: for, verily,
Allah is severe in retribution.”
(Qur’an: Hashr: 59: 7)


“And upon thee [too] have We bestowed from on high this
reminder, so that thou might make clear (LI-TUBAI-YIN) unto
mankind all that has ever been thus bestowed upon them, and
that they might take thought.”
(Qur’an: Nahlu: 16: 44)


“And I leave behind me for you all, for clarifying in your
affairs (of this religion), whosoever holdfast to them shall
never be led astray – (these are) the Book of Allah and
the Sunnah (Way or tradition) of His Messenger.”
(From Sermon reported by Ibnu Hisham in his “Seerah” )


“Verily, I am leaving behind me for you all, whosoever
clings to them shall never be astray after this till the
hereafter :-the Book of Allah - the rope stretched from
heaven to the earth;
and my ‘itrah’ [progeny] from my Household – These two
will never be separated from each other until they return
upon the Pool (in Paradise).
See that you do not differ from (the guidance of) these two
after me.”
(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi)


 We must be very careful in not fabricating any lies, attributing or
repeating unverified reports containing lies of what seemed to
be Ahadith (perhaps in our ignorance), to our Prophet s.a.w. In
one “mutawatir ” Hadith he warns:

“Whosoever (intentionally) fabricates a lie (in my name)
against me, let him seek his place (of abode)
in the Fire (of Hell).”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary, Muslim, Darimi,
Abu Dawud, Ibnu Majah, Tirmidzi, Abu Hanifa,
At-Thayalisi, at-Tabarani and al-Hakim)

THE RATIONALE:

“THE STRENGTH OF A CHAIN IS AT THE WEAKEST LINK”
“Therefore if only one link (narrator) in a report is weak,
the whole report is to be regarded as weak.”


THE RATIONALE:

“AN OBJECT MUST ALSO BE SUPPORTED BY AT LEAST ONE
OTHER SEPARATE CHAIN TO BE REGARDED SAVE AND RELIABLE”
“Therefore a report which cannot be independently corroborated
is ground for it being regarded as weak or unreliable.”


THE RATIONALE:

“A CHAIN MUST BE CONTINUOUSLY LINKED TO THE
SOURCE OF WHICH IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONNECTED”
“Therefore a report which has gaps in the links (of narrators)
is a reason for its rejection.”

“INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF
FIQH ”

Intermediate Level Islamic course in English for
Adults
conducted by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail

TEXT AND MANUAL ARE MERELY INFORMATION
)

THIS LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE, ONLY BASED
ON MY VERY LIMITED EXPOSURE AND STUDY

Traditionally in this kind of session using Ahadith manual, the
teacher must be a FAQIH, because religious ruling is not merely
based upon Ahadith alone.
Muhadith preserves the Ahadith of Prophet s.a.a.w, whereas
a Faqih is the one who extracts the rules of Deen of Allah SWT
from Qur’an, Ahadith and other principles (of Fiqh).
Thus, in practice, the FAQIH ought to be followed. Students must
refrain from passing ruling from mere reading of these Hadith,
without referring also to one who is a FAQIH.
)

This is because a FAQIH (jurist) possess a basic understanding of
the various sciences of Hadith as well gathers abstracts of
common meanings from them; the ability to explain the apparent
contradictions that are found in the Ahadith and untie their knots;
also deep understanding of the Qur’an and its Tafsir and related
sciences, well versed in the various sciences of the Arabic
language as well as possesses the knowledge of the statements of
the Sahabah r.a., with comprehensive understanding of the
principles of analogy (Qiyas).
)

It is for this reason that Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah rhm.a. an
illustrious scholar of Hadith, used to say:

“(Muslim’s) submitting to the Fuqaha (expert opinions),
is safety in (his following) the Deen (religion of Islam)”.

)

He, Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah rhm.a. also used to say:

“The Hadith can lead (ignorant people) astray except
(when explained by) the FUQAHA (jurists)”.

)

A man came to the famous (Muhaddith), Zuhair ibn Mu’awiyah
(to learn). He asked him: “Where do you come from?” (i.e. where
were you learning previously). The man replied: “from Abu
Hanifah (Faqih)”.
Imam Zuhair remarked:“Your going to Abu Hanifah for one day is
more beneficial for you than staying with me for one month”.

)

Imam A’mash rhm. when meeting with Imam Abu Hanifah r.a.
was astonished at his response and comment to one Hadith
which he just conveyed to Imam Abu Hanifah till he exclaimed:
“Enough! You wish to narrate to me in one moment what I
narrated to you in 100 days. I was not aware that you have
practical application to all these Ahadith.
(Then he said:)

)

Imam A’mash rhm. when meeting with Imam Abu Hanifah r.a.
was astonished at his response and comment to one Hadith
which he just conveyed to Imam Abu Hanifah till he exclaimed:

“O Fuqaha (jurists)! You are the physicians (doctors )and
we (Muhaddithin – scholars of Hadith) are (only)
the dispensers (pharmacists).”
)

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Al-Hakam was asked:
“Who is a Faqih? “
He replied: “That person who extracts one principle from
the Qur’an or As-Sunnah in which he was not preceded by anyone,
then divides that principle into one hundred branches”.
The person asked: Who is it that has such ability?
In reply he said: “Muhammad ibn Idris Ash-Shafi-’ie (r.a.)”.
)

Those reading-circle using Ahadith manual in our community
following the SHAFI’IE school, actually has the purpose to revise
(and even memorising) the Hadith, as well as gaining blessings
especially when the manual is read by those possessing ISNAD link.
It is thus primarily meant for one to improve one’s knowledge of
Hadith, not necessarily FIQH, because Imam Ash-Shafi-’ie
prioritized the knowledge of Hadith over the dominance of Ra-’iy
(juristic reasoning) in equipping our scholars of FIQH. But as to the
learning FIQH itself, one must require a qualified teacher of FIQH.
)

This clarification is to dispel the notion – especially to those who are
new, merely learning and quoting a Hadith itself (although one of
prerequisite), this is not sufficient for pronouncing a FIQH ruling.
Scholars specializing only in Hadith (MUHADDITH) must comply with
the ADAB of not usurping the place of those who are the FAQIH.
It is most unfortunate that some Hadith manuals compiled by people
like Imam An-Nawawi, is being ‘used’ to incite people to become
‘non-Madzhabi ’ while Imam An-Nawawi himself followed a
Madzhab and even has a manual on FIQH of the SHAFI’IE MADZHAB.
)

In his Manaqib al-Imam al-Shafi'i, Imam Taqiuddin al-Subki
mentions from al-Bayhaqi, a narration from al-Imam al-Shafi'i, that
he said:
"That which is innovated in the religion

are

of two types:
The first, that which is innovated
or the Sunnah, or a narration

and contradicts the Book
or consensus

this is the innovation of misguidance .

)

and

And the second, that which is innovated “

“ from that

which is regarded as good, and does not differ from these, then this
innovation “

“

is not reprehensible “

“.

Umar ibn al-Khattab, radiya'Allahu anhu, said of the standing [in
prayer] in the month of Ramadan [i.e. Tarawih] :
"A good innovation, this is “
was innovated “

“ meaning, though it

“ (without prior existence), yet there was

nothing (about it that is) contradicting that which came before/the
aforementioned “

)

"

So we see clearly that al-Imam al-Shafi'i mentions that the innovation
of misguidance [al-bid'atu al-Dalalah] as mentioned in the Hadith
only refers to that which contradicts the Book and the Sunnah, or a
narration, or Ijma'. *
In this instance the Prophet s.a.a.w. chose to call the innovations in
general terms as

“

“ and not “

.“ So should one

dislike the term "good bid'ah" [bid'ah hasanah], arguing that all
bid'ah is misguidance by definition, then it may simply be argued that
this is not “

“ but “

under that umbrella of

“

“, and therefore does not fall
“.

* Not due to absence of examples, but because of it opposing the accepted teachings.
)

“Those who shall follow the [last] Messenger, the unlettered
Prophet whom they shall find described in the Torah that is with
them, and [later on] in the Gospel: [the Prophet] who will enjoin
upon them the doing of what is right and forbid them the doing of
what is wrong, and make lawful to them the good things of life
and forbid them the bad things, and lift from them their burdens
and the shackles that were upon them [aforetime]. Those,
therefore, who shall believe in him, and honour him, and succour
him, and follow the light that has been bestowed from on high
through him-it is they that shall attain to a happy state.“
(Qur’an: A’-raf: 7: 157)

 What is our aim in life?
 If we say we love the Prophet s.a.w. wouldn’t we regard his cause
to be most the cherished and dearest to us. The Shahabah
(companions of the Prophet s.a.w.) often would respond to the
Prophet s.a.w. with a phrase “May my parents (i.e. I would rather
that they) be sacrificed in your place, O Messenger of Allah !”
 Many of us may have forgotten our primary purpose in life.
Frankly, when we pose the question: “what is your ambition, your
primary goal; the motivation; your most important ‘calling’ in
life?”, what would be the response?


 Our life’s goal; our systems of value; likes and dislikes; our
potentials and gifts, be they physical, material, intellectual,
political and spiritual etc. are they orientated and being channelled
towards living up to our claim of being the helpers of Allah and His
Messenger s.a.w.?
 Allah teaches and commands us:


 Our life’s goal; our systems of value; likes and dislikes; our
potentials and gifts, be they physical, material, intellectual,
political and spiritual etc. are they orientated and being channelled
towards living up to our claim of being the helpers of Allah and His
Messenger s.a.w.?
 Allah teaches and commands us:
“O YOU who have attained to faith! Be helpers [in the cause of
Allah - even as Jesus, the son of Mary, said unto the white-garbed
ones, "Who will be my helpers in Allah's cause?" - whereupon the
white-garbed [disciples] replied, "We shall be [thy] helpers [in the
cause] of Allah!"
(Qur’an: Saff: 61: 14)

THE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRUE SUCCESSFUL MUSLIMS
 “enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is
wrong”;
 “make lawful the good things of life and forbid them the bad things”;
 “lift burdens and the shackles that were upon them [aforetime]”;
 “who believe in him, and honour him, and succour (help) him, and
follow the light that has been bestowed from on high through him.”
WaAllaahu a’-lam

"Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have
forgotten or erred.
Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which
You laid upon those before us.
Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no
ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have
mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory
over the disbelieving people."


“O Allah, make my speech be guidance, inspire me with
reverential fear, give me success in that which is most
pure, and employ me in what is most pleasing to Thee!
O Allah, let me tread the most exemplary path and make
me live and die in Thy creed!
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his Household, give me to
enjoy moderation, make me into one of the people of
right behaviour, the proofs of right conduct, and the
servants of righteousness,"


O Allah! Make faith (iiman) dear to us and beautify it in our hearts
and make disbelief (Kufr), sinning (Fusuq) and rebelliousness (`isyan)
hateful to us, and make us among the rightly guided ( Raa-shi-duun).


O Allah! Allow us to die as Muslims, live as Muslims
and join us with the ranks of the righteous ones,
without tasting humiliation or turmoil.


‘And (may Allah send) salutations and prayers upon Muhammad
and upon the household and companions of Muhammad
(the pure ones of his family and all the loyal followers).


“Glory to thy Lord the Lord, of Honour and Power!
(He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
And Peace on the Messengers!
And praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.”
