FROM PREVIOUS LESSON


FROM PREVIOUS LESSON
ALLAH’S WARNING REGARDING SOME PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE MUSLIMS


TO CONTINUE -


The term “ “ pronounce ‘TABARRUK’ – is from the
word “ “ BARAKAH “ - meaning :

“blessings, happiness, increase, expand,

goodness (seen or unseen), etc.”


Ar-Raghib defines ‘BARAKAH’ :

“ (Blessings) ‘AL-BARAKAH’ is the goodness which the
Divine (Allah) has bestowed (or fixed) in something.”


Therefore: TABARRUK – means

“seeking or hoping, to derive Divine goodness
(blessings) through those (occasion, persons, (traces)
relics, things, or places, etc.”


“If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah,
We should indeed have opened out to them (all kinds of)
blessings (BARAKAH) from heaven and earth..”

(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 96)


 “BARAKAH “ (Blessings) here encompasses those goodness
which we can know, but also includes especially the unseen
‘spiritual’ bestowals beyond our human knowledge.

 Muslims are aware that such “bestowals”, when present,
would immensely benefit one’s life even though these could
not be physically quantified.


IN FOOD AND PROVISION

“O Allah” (Send upon us) Your Blessings (BARIK-LANA)
in (this) our provision (food) and save us from the
torments of the Fire.”

(Hadith reported by Ibnus-Sunny)


 In this Du’a we invoke Allah’s blessings in whatever provision
which we are give. What these ‘blessings’ are we do not claim
to know them all, but only Allah Who is all-knowing –

Wa-Allaahu a’lam.

 But the invoking for these (blessings) is “value-add” which
we believe can be bestowed by Allah, differentiates us from
the heedless (GHAAFILEEN) and the unbelievers (KAAFIREEN).


AMONGST THE WEAK & POOR

“You are not given help and provision (by Allah)
except because of (blessings in the) presence of the
weak (and the poor) amongst you.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary)


 Do not under estimate the presence of the poor and weak
amongst us.
 We are in fact being tested with their presence, such that
by our rightfully fulfilling their rights, we may deserve being
assisted by Allah with much blessings.
 Remember, Allah is with the “broken-hearted and patiently
persevering ones.”


IN EVERY UNDERTAKINGS

“Every important matter (affair) which is not begun with
(reciting the Basmallah) ‘In the Name of Allah, Most
Compassionate, Most Merciful’ , it will become deprived
(of the Blessings)”

(Hadith reported by ar-Rahawy)

 From this “Sunnah”, in attaching in every affairs the name
of Allah, we Muslims are confident to benefit a continuous
bestowal of Allah’s blessings in our life. SUB-HAANALLAH!


 Another example, which even by our attaching Allah’s name,
harms are averted:

‘In the name of Allah, nothing (attached) with His name,
is harmed (from whatever is) on earth or in the Heavens,
and He (Allah) is The All-Seeing, The All-Knowing.’


PRESENCE OF THE RIGHTEOUS

“Verily, through (the blessing of) a righteous Muslim,
Allah will avert calamity for a hundred households
amongst his neighbours.”

(Hadith reported by Tabarani)


CLARIFICATION ON THE INTERPRETATION OF HADITH

Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. said:

“Do not praise (or exalt) me excessively (ITWRA’) like how
the Christians excessively praised (exalted) ‘Isa (Jesus) the
son of Mary.”

(Hadith )


 There are some who uses this Hadith (and their ‘interpretation’
of it) to discourage the Muslims from expressing their attachment,
love, respect, praising and honouring the Prophet s.a.a.w. as
though, to them this is forbidden by this Hadith..
 Yet, when we analyze this. Our Prophet specifically forbade only
regarding the misguided ‘kind’ of honouring or praising of the
Christians towards Jesus (“Isa) a.s. – elevating him to being Divine.
And no Muslim would regard any of the prophets to be Divine.
 To accord Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. the highest respect,
honour, praise, adopt proper Adab to, etc. is in fact commanded
by Allah and His Messenger – not SHIRK but an aspect of a
Muslim’s IIMAN.


“None of you is a (true) believer until he loves me more
than he love his own self, or his parent, or his son, or
every other human being.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary and Muslim)



“I am Muhammad (Praised one) and Ahmad (Most Praised);
and al-Muq-fiy (the Most Honoured) and al-Haashir (the
Gatherer of man) and Nabiy at-Taubah (Prophet of
Repentance) and Nabiy ar-Rahmah (Prophet of Mercy). ”
(Hadith reported by and Muslim)



“I am the noblest amongst all of mankind, from beginning
to the last, and (I am saying this) not from pride.”

(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi and Darimi)



“I am the Most Beloved of Allah, and this is not to boast. And I
will be the bearer of the banner of “The Praise” on the Day of
Judgement under which will follow Prophet Adam and all who
came after him, and this is not to boast.”
(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi)


ALLAH SWT. COMMAND US US TO HONOUR :

“That [is so]. And whoever honours the symbols of Allah
(SHA-’AA-IRILLAAH)- indeed, it is from the (TAQWA) piety
of hearts.”
(Qur’an: Hajj: 22: 32)


ALLAH SWT. COMMAND US US TO HONOUR :

“That [has been commanded], and whoever honours the sacred
ordinances of Allah (HURUMAATILLAAH) - it is best for him in
the sight of his Lord.”
(Qur’an: Hajj: 22: 30)


ALLAH SWT. HIMSELF ACCORD DIFFERENT STATUS :

“Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he
who is) the most (TAQWA) righteous of you. And Allah has
full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).”

(Qur’an: Hujurat: 49: 13)

ALLAH SWT. HIMSELF PRAISES PROPHET MUHAMMAD :

“And thou (Muhammad, stands) on an exalted
standard of character (KHULUQIN – ‘AZEEM).”

(Qur’an: Qalam: 68: 4)



“O ye who believe! Raise not your voices above the
voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk,
as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your
deeds become vain and ye perceive not.”




“Those that lower their voice in the presence of
Allah's Messenger― their hearts has Allah
tested for piety (LIT-TAQWA) : for them is
Forgiveness and a great Reward.”



TRACES FROM THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD S.A.W.



“The Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. came to visit us at noon
and was given water for wudhu’ (ablution), and he made
wudhu’ , after which people collected the wudhu’ (water)
and use it to rub themselves with it (for blessings).”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary)



Miswar ibn Makhramah and Marwan ibn al-Hakam
(r.a.) related:

“Nowhere did the Prophet s.a.w. spat except that
somebody will be there to catch it and use it to wipe his
faces and skin. And when he (the Prophet) does ablution
(wudhu’) people will jostle with one another to get the
used water from his wudhu’.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary and Ahmad)


THE SHIRT OF PROPHET YUSUF A.S.

(Yusuf said) :"Go with this my shirt, and cast it over the face of
my father (Ya’kub): he will come to see (clearly). Then come ye
(here) to me together with all your family."

(Qur’an: Yusuf: 12: 93)


THE SHIRT OF PROPHET YUSUF A.S.

“Then when the bearer of the good news came he cast
(the shirt) over his face, and he forthwith regained
clear sight."

(Qur’an: Yusuf: 12: 96)


“Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant for Journey by
night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque
(BAA-RAK-NA HAU-LAHU) whose precincts We did bless
― in order that We might show him some of Our Signs:
for He is the one Who hears and sees (all things).”

(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 96)


CONSIDER THIS QUR’ANIC VERSE



"Verily! The sign of His kingdom is that there shall
come to you AT-TABUT (Ark of the Covenant),
wherein is SAKINAH (peace and reassurance) from
your Lord and a BAQIYYAH (remnant) of that which
Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron) left behind,
carried by the angels. Verily, in this is a sign for you
if you are indeed believers.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 248)



Tafsir Ibnu Katsir:
Ibn Jarir related that Ibn `Abbas said about this ayah –
BAQIYYAH – referring to, Moses' staff and the remnants of
the Tablets. This is the same Tafsir of Qatadah, As-Suddi , Ar-
Rabi` bin Anas and `Ikrimah, who added, "And also the
Torah.‘‘



Tafsir Ibnu Katsir:
Ath-Thawri said, "Some said that it contained a pot of
manna and the remnants of the Tablets, while some others
said that it contained (Moses') staff and two shoes (and refer
to Qur’an: Ta Ha :20:12).''


 We can understand though why some Muslims, especially
those who compare Islam simplistically with other religion
to conclude that every acts of “seeking blessings and
veneration” of things and places practiced even by
Muslims must also be “shunned” – ruled by them to also
be “ SHIRK “ or if not, they would justify their stand with
the caveat of “closing the door” to SHIRK.
 Yet, as we have learnt, the true cause of SHIRK is in the
ignorance and their flawed belief of TAUHEED AR-
RUBUBIYYAH and ULUHIYYAH.

 Upholding TAUHEED does not mean one must deny the
presence of and the validity in seeking of the bounteous
blessings (BARAKAH) of Allah.
 Just as what can be adduced by the evidence (from Al-Qur’an,
As-Sunnah and opinions of pious predecessors) that, the
blessings of Allah indeed are present in certain people, events,
things and places - and seeking to gain Allah’s blessings
(TABARRUK) through them were done by previous righteous
people of TAUHEED.


 What differentiate us from the MUSHRIKEEN is the
erroneous belief (AQEEDAH) they hold. Many of them
subscribe to HULUL (divine in-dwelling) and actually
regard these things or the persons they venerate or
sought blessings from (TABARRUK), as possessing
“divine” aspect or attributes – thus a clear SHIRK
(ascribing partners to Allah).


 Whereas Muslims with TAUHEED do not hold such belief.
Our concept of something regarded as “ sacred”, totally
rejects all such suggestion of any Divine “in-dwelling” or
“incarnation” or “union”.
 Thus ‘Umar al-Khattab r.a. said to the black stone

(HAJR-AL-ASWAD): “You are but a stone which cannot
benefit nor harm, but because I have seen the Prophet s.a.w
kissed you, I now kiss you!”

CAUSE FOR THE LOST OF HONOUR AND BLESSINGS.



“When my community (ummah) glorify worldly
matters then the HAIBAH (honour) of Islam will be
removed from them; and when they ceased the
work of calling to good and forbidding wrong, then
they will not benefit from any BARAKAH
(blessings, goodness) of the Revelation (Al-Qur’an
and As-Sunnah).

(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi)



"Because Allah will never change the NI’MAH
(Divine Grace) which He hath bestowed on a
people until they change what is in their (own)
souls: and verily Allah is He Who hears and
knows (all things)."

(Qur’an: Anfal: 8: 53)


REMEMBER ALLAH’S WARNING:


REMEMBER ALLAH’S WARNING:

“O ye who believe! when ye go abroad in the cause of
Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone
who offers you a salutation (salaam): "Thou art none
of a Believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this
life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant.”

(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 94)


ALWAYS REMEMBER :

“O ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any
news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and
afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.)”


ALWAYS REMEMBER :

“And obey Allah and His Messenger; and fall into no
disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart; and be
patient and persevering: for Allah is with those who
patiently persevere.”

(Qur’an: Anfal: 8: 46)

ALWAYS REMEMBER :

“As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects,
thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah:
He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.”

(Qur’an: An’am: 6: 159)

ALWAYS REMEMBER :

“And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for
every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) will be
enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).”

(Qur’an: Isra’: 17: 36)
