“Beginners’ Manual on Islam”

(The basic message of Islam)


2


“Allah” : Arabic proper noun; name for God, it refers
to the One and Only, the Unique Creator, Lord
Sustainer of the Universe, Who Alone is God – there
is none besides Allah.
No equivalent translation in non-Semitic language.



“Muhammad s.a.a.w.” : Arabic name meaning “the
Praised One”; he is the Chosen, Unlettered Prophet,
the servant and Messenger of Allah, the Awaited
Seal of Prophethood after whom there will be no
more prophet sent.


“Tell me about Islam”


Islam is built upon five
things:
Bear witness that there is
none deserving of worship
except Allah, and that
Muhammad is His servant
and Messenger.



things:
And to establish Swolah
(the obligatory five daily
worship or specific
devotion).



things:
And to pay the Zakah
(obligatory tax upon the
wealth).



things:
And to make pilgrimage
(Hajj) to the House (Ka’ba
in Makkah) if you are able.



things:
And to observe fasting
daily in the month of
Ramadhan.

.....“Tell me about iiman
(Faith/Belief)”

(Belief) iiman is that
you:
Solemnly believe in Allah;
His angels;
His Books,
His Messengers;
In the Afterlife;
In the Decree, the good &
bad, all comes from (the
eternal knowledge of)
Allah;


........ “ Tell me about ‘AlIhsan’- (the Best or
Righteous conduct or
Excellence)”


“Al-Ihsan” (excellence) is:
... That you serve (worship)
Allah as though you see
Him, but if you do not see
Him, He (Allah) sees you.”

IIMAN
Belief
Faith
Conviction

‘AMAL
[Islam]
Submission
Obedience
Practice

IHSAN
Best or
Righteous
Conduct

Faith without obedience is meaningless; and obedience without Faith is
mere rituals and may even lead to hypocrisy.
Together, Faith and Obedience must lead to Righteousness with IHSAN
which essentially focus in our intention to sincerely serve Allah s.w.t.
Thus, in these three aspects can one be said to be true in his submission
to the Will of Allah (as Muslim).

MOST
COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL

THE FIRST ASPECT REQUIRED IN THE ATTESTATION TO
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAU HEED)



IIMAN is “Belief or Faith” to something beyond sense
perception, termed as “

- al-ghayb” meaning “the

unseen”.


It is derived from the root word “

” which also means

“safety, peace, security, protection”


It denote: “certainty of the ultimate truth”, adherence to it
instils sense of “security in him” from doubts, uncertainty,
restlessness etc.




Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere blind
acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e. Believe or
faith must be with knowledge.




Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere blind
acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e. Must be with
knowledge.

"And do not follow (pursue) anything of which thou
hast no knowledge: verily (thy) hearing and sight
and heart - all of them - will be called to account
for it (on Judgement Day).“
(Q: Bani Israil : 17 :36)




Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere
blind acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e.
Must be with knowledge.



Three sources for knowledge:

[1] Five sensory perceptions [2] Reasoning [3] True report -

(The Detailed Belief) “Al-iiman is that you:


Solemnly believe in Allah;



His angels;



His Books,



His Messengers;



In the Afterlife;



In the Decree, the good & bad, all comes
from (the eternal knowledge of) Allah
Most Exalted.”

THE FOURTH ARTICLE OF FAITH IN ACKNOWLEDGING
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAUHEED)

“And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger,
(proclaiming): ‘Serve Allah and shun false gods.’ Then some
of them (there were) whom Allah guided, and some of them
(there were) upon whom error had just hold.
Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the
consequence for the deniers!”
(Qur’an: An-Nahl: 16:36)


“And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them,
until He makes clear to them what to fear (and avoid)― for Allah
hath knowledge of all things.”
(Qur’an: Taubah: 9:115)


“ Who receives guidance, receives it for his own benefit: who goes
astray doth so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the
burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had
sent an messenger (to give warning).
When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite
order to those among them who are given the good things of this life
and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them:
then We destroy them utterly.”
(Qur’an: al-Isra: 17:15-16)

Everyone of us has certain basic questions within
ourselves:
“Why have we been created?”
“What is the purpose of my being here in this world?”
“Why do people die?”
“Does it end here?”
“ Where will we go to after death?” ... etc.


Some may ignore these questions, yet they are still in
us and we will have to seek the Truth regarding this
matter – sooner or later.

Man’s limited knowledge of Reality, would not be
able to fathom this mystery.


Only Allah s.w.t. the Creator of every creation knows
the truth and Reality of our existence, the reason for
our being created and our destiny.

Ever since Adam a.s., mankind has been promised by
Allah, guidance from Him. This is through His sending
of the Prophets and Messengers from Him.


We do acknowledge a category of people who
discover “Laws” in nature and regard them as reliable
and their findings learnt, applied and continue to be
taught.

These are the people gifted with insights and inspired
with knowledge of the physical world. We call them
“Scientists”.

Yet there is another category of people, who came in
different place and time, yet all claimed to have
received Divine communication, asserted similar
universal message of God, of man’s moral obligation,
of the life in Hereafter etc.
They delivered a message which transcend knowledge
of this physical world, inviting mankind towards Faith
in the One God. These are the “Prophets.”


The word “Nabi” means
“prophet” refers to a male
person who receives divine
inspiration, to assist them
in guiding the people
based upon code of life
which had already been
conveyed by earlier
Messengers (Rasul).

Word “Rasul” means a
“Messenger”, it refers to
a “Nabi” who were
tasked to convey a new
message, code of life to
the people,
complementing and
superseding what had
came before.

So not every “Nabi” is a
“Rasul”; whereas all
“Rasul” must also be a
“Nabi”.

According to a tradition,
Allah has sent 124,000
Prophets (Anbiya’).

And verily We have raised in every
nation a messenger,”
(Qur’an: an-Nahl: 16: 36)

TRUSTWORTHY

TABLIGH

CONVEYING

FATONAH


WISE

MA’SUM – INFALLIBLE
Meaning “preserved, protected from sinning against
Allah”, although they all have human frailties and
weaknesses.
We reject all falsehood and slander made or even
insinuated against every prophets of Allah, upholding
their honour and dignity. Especially those found in the
Bible.

This because Allah s.w.t. said:


“And We made them (Prophets as) leaders, guiding (men) by
Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good
deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular
charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only).”
(Qur’an: Anbiya’: 21: 73)



“No prophet could (ever) be false to his trust.”
(Qur’an: Aali’Imran: 3: 161)



“Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art
in our eyes (constantly watched and preserved): and celebrate the
praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth.”
(Qur’an: Tur: 52: 48)

“And remember We took from the Prophets their Covenant:
and from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, the
son of Mary: We took from them a solemn Covenant: That
(Allah) may question the (Custodians) of Truth concerning
the Truth they (were charged with): and He has prepared
for the Unbelievers a grievous Penalty.”
(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 7-8)



Their messengers said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves,
but Allah doth grant His grace to such of His servants as He pleases . It
is not for us to bring you an authority except as Allah permits.
(Qur’an: Ibrahim: 14: 11)

“Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory: That Allah
may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow;
fulfil His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight
Way;”
(Qur’an: Fathu: 48: 1-2)


MIRACLES
The term used for this in Islam is “khawariq al-aa-dah” –
meaning “breaking from the normal order.” So, the term
“miracle” is general; to include many kinds which can be
demonstrated by all kinds of people. Islam even warn
Muslims not to generalize as though all types of
“miracles” are therefore also “mu’-jizat”.

Among the supplications practiced and taught by my teacher from:
Imam Qutb al-Irshad al-Habib ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Alawi al-Haddad
(rahimahullah) – may we benefit from his Wisdom and secrets.

WAL – IS- TID - RAAJ – MIN – HAI – THU – LAA – ASH- ‘U-RU

“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from entrapment (MAKAR)
and subtle deception (ISTIDRAJ) from wherever I am unaware of.
Verily You (O Allah who) is Most Generous, the Most Noble.”

MU’JIZAT
From the word “i’-jaz” meaning to “bring low” – refers to
extra-ordinary capability given to prophets by Allah, as
Signs or proof of their Prophet hood.
Usually, it would approximate and challenge what people
of the time had already regarded to be the most fantastic.


“Not a messenger did We send before thee without
this inspiration sent by Us to him: ‘that there is no god
but I; therefore worship and serve Me.’ ”
(Qur’an: Anbiya’: 21: 25)


“For We have never sent any Messenger except that
he should be heeded (obeyed) by Allah’s leave”.
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 64)


For We assuredly sent amongst every People a
messenger, (with the Command) "Serve Allah, and
eschew Evil": of the people were some whom Allah
guided, and some on whom Error became inevitably
(established).
So travel through the earth, and see what was the end
of those who denied (the Truth).”
(Qur’an: An-Nahlu: 16: 36)


“Likewise did We make for every Messenger an enemy,― evil
ones men and Jinns, inspiring each other with flowery discourses
by way of deception. If thy Lord had so willed, they would not
have done it: so leave them and their inventions alone.”
(Qur’an: An-’am: 6: 112)

And remember Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of
Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you
confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving
glad Tidings of an Messenger to come after me, whose
name shall be Ahmad (Praised one)."
But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said
"This is evident sorcery!"
(Qur’an: Saff: 61: 6)


COINCIDENTAL or CORROBORATION?

(Jesus is recorded to have said)

“ Think not that I have come to abolish the Law and the Prophets ; I
have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I say to
you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass
away from the Law until all is accomplished.”
(Matthews: 5: 17-20)



(Jesus is also recorded to have said)
“ I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all
truth. He will not speak on his own; he will only speak what he
hears, and he will tell you of what is yet to come. He will bring
glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to
you….”
(John: 16: 7-14)



“Jesus said to them :
‘Have you never read in the scriptures:
“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone”;
The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from
you and given to a people who will produce its fruit . He who falls on
this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be
crushed.”
(Matthews: 21: 42-44)

THE PROPHET S.A.A.W. SAID:



“The likeness of me and the other Prophets is similar to that
of a man who built a house and perfectly decorated it except
for a space of one brick. The people used to go round this
house, wonder and say, ‘If only this missing brick were put
in!’
Thus, I am that brick and I am the Last of the Prophets.”
(Hadith agreed upon by Bukhary and Muslim)

“O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our
Messenger making clear to you much of what you used
to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There
has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 15)


“O people of the Book! now hath come unto you, making
(things) clear unto you, Our Messenger (Muhammad)
after the break in (the series of) Our Messengers, lest ye
should say: there came unto us no bringer of glad tidings
and no Warner (from evil): but now hath come unto you
a bringer of glad tidings and a Warner (from evil): and
Allah hath power over all things.”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 19)


“ Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but
(he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the
Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.”
(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 40)


“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” )

“(Honour) My successors, may Allah s.w.t. be Merciful towards
them!.” He was asked: “Who are your successors O Messenger
of Allah?” And he said: “They are those who revive my Sunnah
and teaches them to the servants of Allah.”
(Hadith of the Prophet s.a.w.)

“ This day have I perfected your religion for (O Muhammad),
completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you
Islam as your religion.”
(Qur’an: Ma-idah: 5: 3)


“ O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger
and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ
in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His
Messenger if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day :
that is best, and most suitable for final determination.”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 59)


“Now whenever Allah and His Messenger have decided
a matter, it is not for a believing man or a believing
woman to claim freedom of choice insofar as they
themselves are concerned; for he who (thus) rebels
against Allah and His Messenger has already, most
obviously, gone astray.”
(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 36)



“By Allah!(I swear), even if Musa is alive and present in
your midst, he can have no option except that he must
follow me (my teachings).”
(Hadith narrated by Jabir r.a.)

“ O ye who believe! Give your response to Allah
and His Messenger, when He calls you to that
which will give you life”
(Qur’an: Anfal: 8: 24)

“He it is who has sent unto the unlettered people a
messenger 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 As well as (to confer all these benefits upon) others of them,
who have not already joined them: and He is Exalted in
Might, Wise.”
(Qur’an: Jumu’ah: 62:2- 3)


“And thus have We willed you to be a community of the
middle way (ummatan wasotan) [i.e. justly balanced], so
that [with your lives] you might bear witness to the truth
before all mankind (shuhadaa-a ‘alan-naas) , and the
Messenger as a witness over you.“
(Qur’an: Baqarah 2:143)

“All who obey Allah and the Messenger are in the company of
those on whom is the Grace of Allah― of the Prophets (who
teach) the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify),
and the Righteous (who do good): ah! How a beautiful
fellowship!
Such is the Bounty from Allah: and sufficient is it that Allah
knows all.”
(Qur’an: an-Nisa: 4: 69-70)


“ ... 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 a messenger
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 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 not to fabricate 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)

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


(Qur’an : al-Baqarah : 2 : 43)

But the Qur’an does not provide the detail, thus the Prophet (pbuh) said :

100

“ .....and be constant in ‘as-Swolah’
(that is the fixed obligatory daily prayer)…”
(Qur’an : al-Baqarah : 2 : 43)

But the Qur’an does not provide the detail, thus the Prophet (pbuh) said :

“Establish ‘as-Swolah’ as you see me do”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)
101

…(it means) :

“the way ... or ... the law “
It is usually used to indicate the practice or the teachings
of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and are divided into :

Qau-liyyah (sayings)

Taqririyyah (consent)

Fi’liyyah (actions)

Hammiyyah (resolve)
102


…(it means) :

“the way ... or ... the law “
HADITH REGARDING ‘SUNNAH QAULIYYAH’
IS GENERALLY DIVIDED INTO TYPES

HADITH QUDSI
The Prophet saying but he
indicates the quote to be God’s
words which are other than
those in Qur’an

HADITH NABAWWIY
Direct statement of the Prophet

103

Prophet (pbuh) taught by :
(1)

Verbal teaching

(2)

Written medium
(dictation to scribes)

(3)

Practical demonstration

105

…(Plural is “AHADITH” - it means) :

“the news , the report ..or .. narration“
It is usually used to refer to the report or sayings, transmitted
through a chain of people, and originated from or up to the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Thus a “Hadith” contains the “Sunnah”

106

It contains two parts :

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 SAFE 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.”
