Jumu'at Kareem[Hadith Qudsi Meaning and it's revelation]

Hadith Qudsi and how do they differ from other Hadith?

Hadith Qudsi are the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) as revealed to him by the Almighty Allah. Hadith Qudsi (or Sacred Hadith) are so named because, unlike the majority of Hadith which are Prophetic Hadith, their authority (Isnad) is traced back not to the Prophet but to the Almighty.

Among many definitions given by the early scholars to Sacred Hadith is that of as-Sayyid ash-Sharif al-Jurjani (died in 816 A.H.) in his lexicon At-Tarifat, he says:

"A Sacred Hadith is, as to the meaning, from Allah the Almighty; as to the wording, it is from the messenger of Allah (PBUH). It is that which Allah the Almighty has communicated to His Prophet through revelation or in a dream, and he, peace be upon him, has communicated it in his own words. Thus the Holy Qur'an is superior to it because, besides being revealed, it is His (Allah's) wording."

On Trials and Tribulations

On Trials and Tribulations

Abu Sa`id and Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said,

“No fatigue, nor disease, nor anxiety, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that”
[Bukhari and Muslim].

This world is no more than a test in which all humans are bound to face some hardships and challenges that reveal their patience and steadfastness. The forms of this test are numerous and diverse: Some people suffer poverty, some suffer physical illnesses, some live in a state of insecurity, some are deprived of their cherished and beloved ones, and still others suffer psychiatric disorders. Referring to this fact, Allah says:

And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the patient, Who says, when afflicted with calamity: “To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return”: They are those on whom (descend) Blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
[Baqarah 2:155-157]

In another verse, He Almighty says:

“He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.”
[Al-Mulk 67:2]

Since trials and hardships are inevitable, Islam does not let them pass by without instructing Muslims on the best course of action or by guiding them to the safest and most appropriate attitude. The Hadith reveal one dimension of Islam’s recipe for successfully dealing with life’s challenges. In order to balance the negative effects posed by af sins and elevate the believer’s rank in the Hereafter. This optimistic and positive approach safeguards one from falling prey to despair and grief. Here, it is fitting to cite some Prophetic hadiths that emphasize this concept:


Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

“How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is good for him”
[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

“He whom Allah intends good, He makes him to suffer from some affliction”
[Bukhari]


Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

“A Muslim, male or female, continues to remain under trial in respect of his life, property, and offspring until he faces Allah, the Exalted, with no sin record”
[Tirmidhi]

The above hadiths should not be mistaken for a call to fatalism and defeatism. The message the hadiths convey is that every Muslim should expect hardships and prepare to weather them. This point makes a distinction between one who trusts in Allah and believes in His mercy and one who feels that he is alone in this world, that he faces its formidable challenges isolated from any source of support or assistance. So, these hadiths are meant to infuse the Muslim with hope and vigor and drive away the destructive thoughts of failure and hopelessness. To get a better understanding of them, they should be considered light of the following hadiths:

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported:The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

“A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it. (If you are afflicted in any way), do not say: ‘If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,’ but say only: ‘Allah so determined and did as He willed.’ The word ‘if’ opens the gates of satanic (thoughts)”
[Muslim]

In line with this hadith comes the Prophet’s advice to his cousin Ibn `Abbas (RA) to know that with patience comes victory, with distress comes relief, and with hardship comes ease.

In this respect, one idea may be a source of worry and disturbance. How can we approach afflictions with such optimism when they are clear signs of Allah’s wrath and manifestations of His punishment? Has not Allah said,

“Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness”
[Ash-Shura 42:30]

Actually, this question haunts many people, especially the practicing ones when they are afflicted with a calamity, deprived of a cherished person, or plagued with an illness. The problem is that in many cases this thought becomes a source of frustration and depression. Instead of being an incentive to hastening to Allah and drawing closer to him, the idea serves sometimes as a dispiriting factor. So, let’s see how the Companions viewed the above verse and how they took it positively and optimistically.

In his comment on this verse, Imam Al-Qurtubi reports that `Ali (RA) said,

“This verse is the most hopeful one in the Qur’an; if my sins are to be expiated through afflictions and calamities, and in addition to that, Allah forgives many other sins, then what will remain after such expiation and forgiveness?”

True, life’s disasters leave hearts broken and loved ones deprived, but the bright believer knows how turn them into a source of determination and a fountain of strength. I conclude with the beautiful authentic hadith in which the Prophet (SAW) tells us that the people who face the harshest trial are the prophets, then those next to them (in faith and devotion), and then the next. Everyone will be tried according to his level of faith; one who has strong faith will undergo a harsh trial and one who is of weak faith will receive a weak trial. And the affliction will encompass one until he becomes free of sins altogether.

Trials, tribulations and challenges are part of every person’s life. However, to counter that, Allah has provided us a very powerful tool – and that is the tool of du’a or asking Allah for help and his mercy when we need it. And we need it all the time…. Equally importantly, we forget at times that Allah has also provided us the opportunity to dramatically increase the effectiveness of our own Dua’s by encouraging us to make dua’s for other brothers and sisters in Islam. Consider this Hadith by the Prophet (SAW):

“The supplication that gets the quickest answer is the one made by one Muslim for another in his absence.”
[Reported by Abu Daw’ud & Tirmidhi]


And your Lord said: “Invoke Me, (i.e. believe in My Oneness (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation)…………..”
[Qur’an (40: 60)]

Allah (SWT) makes easy for all Muslim Ummah the trial of this duniya (World) and makes us a better Muslim. Allah Humma Aa’meen

And ALLAAH (SWT) knows best.

[Protesting at misfortunes that are part of time]

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

Allah said:

Sons of Adam inveigh against [the vicissitudes of] Time, and I am Time, in My hand is the night and the day (*).

(*) As the Almighty is the Ordainer of all things, to inveigh (protest) against misfortunes that are part of Time is tantamount to inveighing against Him.

It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).

[Allah is adversary to Three types of Man]

There are three (*1) whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection:

1) a man who has given his word by Me and has broken it;
2) a man who has sold a free man (*2) and has consumed the price;
3) and a man who has hired a workman, has exacted his due in full from him and has not given him his wage.

(*1) i.e. types of men.
(*2) i.e. a man who has made a slave of another and has sold him.

It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Ibn Majah and Ahmad ibn Hanbal).

The Story behind Our Daily AzKar and Tasbeeh

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu

The Third Kalimah

The Third Kalimah Has A Unique And Very interesting Story Behind it.

It All Started Before Allah Ta'alah Created Adam A.S.

The Angels Were Trying To Move The Arsh (Throne) Of Allah Ta'alah But It Was Too Heavy And Wouldn't Budge.

 So They Asked Almighty Allah For Help.

Allah Told Them To Recite "Subhanallah."

 The Angels Did As They Were Told And Found That it Gave Them  Power And  Strength  And  They  Were  Able  To  Move  The  Arsh.

They Liked This So Much That They Began Constantly Hymning "Subhanallah."- (Glory be to Allah)

Then  Allah  Created Adam  A.S. 

When  Allah  Blew  Life  into  Adam,

The  First  Thing  He  Did  Was  Sneeze  And  Say "Alhamdulillah" (All parise be to Allah) The  Angels  Liked  This  Act  So  Much  That  They  Added  This  To  Their  Parise  And  Glorification of Allah.

 Thus  The  Kalimah  Became "Subhanallah Walhamdulillah"

Hundreds  Of  Years  Passed  And  The Prophet Nooh A.S.

Was  Now  On  Earth.

For  Nine Hundred  Years  He  Proclaimed  The  Oneness  Of  Allah  With  The  Words "La illaha illalah."

(There  is  None Worthy Of  Worhip  The  Angels  Loved  This  Act  So  Much  That  They  Added  This  To  The  Kalimah.

Thus, The Kalimah  Now  Became "Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Wa La illaha illalah."

The  Angels  Kept  Repeating This  Kalimah Day And Night.

Many  Centuries  Passed  And  The Prophet Ebrahim A.S. (Abraham)  Was  Asked  By Almighty Allah To Sacrifice  His  Beloved  Son Ismaeel A.S.

 He  Was  About To  Slaughter  His  Son  And  He  Needed  Something  To Give  Him  The  Courage  He  Needed  To  Do  This  Difficult Deed.

So  He  Recited "Allahu Akbar." (Allah is Great)

The  Angels  Loved  This  Act  So  Much  That They  Added "Allahu Akbar"  To  The Kalimah.

Thus   The  Kalimah  Became "Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Wa La illaha illalah Allahu Akbar."

More  Centuries  Passed.  It  Was  The  Night  Of Meraj,

When  Our  Beloved  Prophet Muhammed S.A.W.

 Ascended  To  The  Heavens  With Gibraeel A.S. There  Gibraeel A.S.  Told  Nabee S.A.W.

The  Story  And  Nabee S.A.W.   Added  The  Final  Part  Of  The Kalmiah "Wala Howla Wa La Quwata Illah Billah Hil Aleyeel Azeem."

Thus  The  Kalimah  Now  Became Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Wa La illaha illalah Allahu Akbar Wala Howla Wa La Quwata Illah Billah Hil Aleyeel Azeem" (There is no Power and Might except from Allah, The Most High, The Great)

And  Up  To  This  Day,  This  Kalimah (or Declaration Of  Faith)  Buzzes  Around  The Arsh  Of Almighy Allah.

Third Kalima is Tumjeed,

This  is  The Kalima (the first part)  That is Recited 33  Times  After  Each  Farz  Namaaz,   And  is Called  Tasbih Fatima.

Surah Fatiha  Protects  One  From  The  Anger  Of Allah.

Surah Yaseen  From  The  Thirst  Of  The Day  Of Judgement.

Sura  Waaqiah  From Poverty And  Starvation

Surah Mulk  From  The  Punishment  Of  The  Grave

Surah Kausar  From  The  Enemity  Of  The  Enemy

Surah Kaafiroon  From  Kufr  At  The  Time  Of  Death

Surah Ikhlaas From  Hypocrisy

Surah ! Falaq  Fr om  Calamities.

Surah Naas  From  Evil  Thoughts

Should Someone  Become  Aware  Of  The  Above  From  Your  Message  And  Read Any  Of  These  Surahs,

Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W  (PBUH) Says That
“If A Person Recites ” Ayatal Kursi” After Every Farz Namaz Then There Will Be Nothing Between Him And Heaven Except Death”

There is A Hadith That Says “3rd kalima” is Such A Great Medicine That it Cures Every Disease And The Most Minor Disease it Cures is “Sorrow” (Gham).

Third kalima Being:  ” Subhaan Allah, WalHamdo Lillah, Wa La Illaha IlAllah, Wa Aallah o Abar. Wa Lahoalwalla quwatta illa billah hilm Ali al Azeem.”

Another Hadith Says

“if A Person Recites Surah ikhlaas 10 Times in A Day Then Allah Build A Palace For Him in The Heaven.(Subhaan Allah)”

And The Last But Not The Least ALLAH Says ”

Spread The Knowledge Whatever U Have

Its Duty Of Each N Every Muslim”
