*ABSTAIN FROM THE IMPERFECT VACCINE.*
Every medication has its respective dose, prescription, allergies and side
effects. Some researchs have shown that some vaccines do cause certain
mental sickness in some children while other research find no relationship
between the vaccine and the rise of certain mental deficiency. Nonetheless,
pious medical practionners have the opinion that families that have down
syndrome-mental deficiency- should avoid traditional vaccines to their
children, while others may be vaccinated with traditional vaccines without
fear. The general benefit of traditional vaccines is obviously positive and
hence encouraged to the general public. But there are exceptions allergies
to that also. That is why lately, no imposition could be imposed on
vaccination of children.
The shariah recommend us to follow the beneficial medical path that benefit
human kind. And to avoid any harmful causes of health.
Before any injection, the medical practioner ask the patient if he or she
is allegic to certain medication. Basing on that, the medical practitioner
may opt for softer and non allergy medication.
Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Sallam based on the fact that the Romans
were healthy although they were cohabiting with their spouses during breast
feeding, then He told the sahabahs that they may also do same. Because the
Arabs used to avoid cohabiting with their spouses if she is breastfeeding
thinking that this will cause weakness to the child.
صحيح مسلم - (7 / 323)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى
مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ الْأَسَدِيَّةِ
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ
لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنْ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ الرُّومَ
وَفَارِسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَضُرُّ أَوْلَادَهُمْ
الديباج على صحيح مسلم بن الحجاج - السيوطي - (4 / 51)
الغيلة بكسر الغين أي يجامع امرأته وهي ترضع
Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said: ‘’I was about to prohibit
you to cohabit with a breast feeding wife. But then I see the Romans and
the Persians doing it and their children has no defects.’’(Muslim)
Basing on the given facts in front of him of some factual experiences,
Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam took the permissible mode.
In the same way, seeing the new vaccine that has not been entirely tried
yet, having witness lots of side effects on many people, we should rather
abstain from being vaccinated as ‘’cobaye/guinea pig’’.
The vaccine should be improved to the extent that has almost no allergies,
almost no side effects.
The searchers should try to test the vaccine on animals so that we may save
human lives.
Allah Ta`ala has created the animal kingdom in the service of the human
kind:
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا [البقرة : 29]
‘’He is the One who has created whatever in the earth for your
purpose.’’(2:29)
When Hazrat Ibrahim a.s. wished to see how Allah Ta`ala revive the dead,
Allah Ta`ala told him to tame 4 birds and then slaughter them and place
their remains in different places and then experience the experiment by
calling them.
The human kind is the most precious of all living on the surface of the
earth. So instead of testing the vaccines on us, we should rather test it
on animals to enhance human medication.
Finally, one should look for the most halaal way of treatment against
sicknesses. Should the option be available, one should choose the most pure
and most halaal. Abstain from doubtful to choose the surely halaal. If no
option available and we have hope of remedy, then, as a last card,
permissible to take non halaal medication:
With a medical advice, when there is no other option of medication and it
is scientifically believed that there will be medical benefit, then the
fuqahas has given permission to use haraam content medication: (Shami,
Bahrur Ra-iq, Inaayah,etc.)
Shami
وظاهر المذهب المنع كما في رضاع البحر، لكن نقل المصنف ثمة وهنا عن الحاوي:
وقيل يرخص إذا علم فيه الشفاء ولم يعلم دواء آخر كما رخص الخمر للعطشان، وعليه
الفتوى.
فُرُوعٌ ] اُخْتُلِفَ فِي التَّدَاوِي بِالْمُحَرَّمِ وَظَاهِرُ الْمَذْهَبِ
الْمَنْعُ كَمَا فِي رَضَاعٍ الْبَحْرُ ، لَكِنْ نَقَلَ الْمُصَنِّفُ ثَمَّةَ
وَهُنَا عَنْ الْحَاوِي : وَقِيلَ يُرَخَّصُ إذَا عُلِمَ فِيهِ الشِّفَاءُ
وَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ دَوَاءٌ آخَرُ كَمَا رُخِّصَ الْخَمْرُ لِلْعَطْشَانِ
وَعَلَيْهِ الْفَتْوَى
Since vaccines have had scientifically side effects and allergies in the
past, given that Covid vaccines are sceptical on figures, then no
government, no travel agencies, no official agencies should impose the
vaccine on the general public. We request the searchers to perfect more the
vaccine on animals until human may be vaccinated with a better vaccine
later on.
The mass compulsion of covid vaccine is a fraud to the health establish
protocols and is simply a suable commercial lobby to enrich a few.

*DO THE IMAAN FILL IN.*
Imaan is the capital requisite to save us from the musibat/difficulty of
hell fire. Without imaan, we are proned to eternal fire. Allah Ta`ala says
that He won`t even bother to see what good actions have the non believers
done. ‘’They are those who have denied the signs of their Lord and His
meeting. So their actions are made null and void. Hence on the day
judgement, We will not weigh any of their actions.’’(18:105)

أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَائِهِ فَحَبِطَتْ
أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا [الكهف : 105]

This is the ill fate of non believers. No weighing, no rewards, no blessed
eye sight of God and no forgiving. That is why Qur-aan says that ‘’And let
not death comes to you but that you are believers.’’(2:132)

فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ [البقرة : 132]

Imaan is the only passport to Paradise. And also it is an asset that helps
us to understand nature/the signs of Allah, to find our way out in this
world and also a force to help us get through difficulties throughout the
life and an answer to the angels in qabr. Above all, it is a fill in of the
heart that keeps us hopeful and looking forward for help of Allah.

وَلَا تَهِنُوا فِي ابْتِغَاءِ الْقَوْمِ إِنْ تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا
يَرْجُونَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا [النساء : 104]

The glimpse of hope that shine in every corner of life. This is imaan.
There is a masnoon du`as of Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam used
to read and make at the end of his talks before standing:

سنن الترمذي - (
عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ
قَلَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُومُ
مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ حَتَّى يَدْعُوَ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الدَّعَوَاتِ لِأَصْحَابِهِ
اللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ
مَعَاصِيكَ وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ وَمِنْ
الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتِّعْنَا
بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُوَّتِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا وَاجْعَلْهُ
الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا وَاجْعَلْ ثَأْرَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا
عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا وَلَا
تَجْعَلْ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَلَا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا وَلَا
تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنَا

Allahoumma iqsim lanaa min khashyatika maa yaHoolou bainanaa wa baina
ma’aasweeka wa min twa ‘atika maa toubal lighounaa bihi jannataka wa minal
yaqeeni maa touhawwinou bihi ‘alainaa mouswibaatid dounya wa mat t’inaa bi

‘’O Allah! Grant us that amount of your fear that will constitute a barrier
between us and your disobedience, and grant us that quantity of your
obedience that will bring us to To jannat, and (grant us) that quantity of
faith/conviction that will facilitate us during difficulties. And keep
sound and safe our ears, eyes and our bodily force until our last breath.
And inherit us with our bodily faculties(on the day of qiyamah). And take
revenge for us against the one who oppresses us and help us against those
who cultivate enmity against us. And do not make difficulties/loss in our
deen and let not this world become our main concern and let not this dunya
be the product taken in exchange of our knowledge and do not impose upon us
those who do not pity us.’’(Tirmizi)
Hazrat Mowlana Ibrahim Devla d.b. used to say the above du`as and say that
Yaqeen, Imaan and Conviction is an asset to facilitate us during
difficulties. That is we need to fill in the heart with Yaqeen and
conviction against all odds of life. If we do not fill our hearts with
imaan, then in difficult times, there will be no patience, no breath of
hope, no salaah, no continuous du`as and hence our hearts will be filled
with grief, hopelessness and that is the cause of depression, mental
tiredness and suicide, etc.
I take the example of the mother of Moossa a.s. Allah Ta`ala ordered her to
put her son in a basket/box in the river. Allah Ta`ala inspired her that He
will return him to her.
When done, she later became restless and felt the motherly feeling of the
whereabout of her son. She felt a vacuum in the heart that caused
restlessness that she was about to unveil the secret that it was her son
was in the basket/box.
Vacuum=Depression.
Imaan Fill In=Forceful high spirit.

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى أُمِّ مُوسَى أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ
فَأَلْقِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحْزَنِي إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ
إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ) فَالْتَقَطَهُ آلُ فِرْعَوْنَ
لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًا إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ
وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ ( وَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ
عَيْنٍ لِي وَلَكَ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ
وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ) وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَى فَارِغًا
إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهَا
لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  [القصص : 7 - 10]

In the Surah The Histories, Allah Ta`ala mentions that He inspired to the
mother of Moses a.s. to suckle him and then when she fear about his
security (the coming of murderous police of Pharaoh) then cast him in the
river. She did it and waited for the promise of Allah that baby Moossa a.s.
will return in her arms. But after a day or so, she became worried: ‘’And
the heart of mother Moossa a.s. became vacuum restless. Indeed she was
about to disclose this(the real facts about her son is Moossa a.s.), had We
not strengthened her heart to remain amongst those who have firm belief(in
Allah`s promise).’’(28:10)
So when the heart is empty, then all types of thoughts, depression, etc
will haunt you. But if you fill the heart with imaan, then you will be able
to tackle everyday life and its difficulties.
So the effort of da`wat is to strengthen imaan to enable us to be more
equipped in difficult times. That is why we need to refill and renew our
imaan. Because it becomes used and torn throughout its use through life
span.

المستدرك على الصحيحين - الحاكم - ()
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص ، قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «
إن الإيمان ليخلق في جوف أحدكم كما يخلق الثوب الخلق ، فاسألوا الله أن يجدد
الإيمان في قلوبكم »

Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said: ‘’Imaan becomes used
through wear and tear in your hearts, just like cloths become old and used
through wear and tear. So Ask Allah Ta`ala to renew your imaan.’’(Mustadrak
Hakim)
In another occasion, Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said to
renew imaan through lots of reading laa ilaaha illAllah or lots of da`wat
talking about the greatness of Allah.(Ahmad)

مسند أحمد ط الرسالة -)
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " جَدِّدُوا
إِيمَانَكُمْ "، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ نُجَدِّدُ إِيمَانَنَا ؟
قَالَ: " أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ

So we need to fill in daily for imaani boost. That is why our elders used
to read audibly the zikr of laa ilaaha illAllah before Fajr.
Finally, the great difficulty of death needs a full fill in of imaan:

إِنْ أَنْتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَصَابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةُ الْمَوْتِ
[المائدة : 106]

That is why we should not die without imaan. So daily, a little moment in
the morning and in the afternoon, talk about the greatness of Allah, that
Allah Ta`ala does and no one can do, that Allah Ta`ala that gives us food
and we cannot do anything, etc so that we keep fill in the depressive
vacuum of the heart. And at least 2 rakaats of tahajjud, and we will reach
the destination of contentment of Allah Ta`ala:
صحيح البخاري - )
عن سعيد بن أبي سعيد المقبري عن أبي هريرة
عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إن الدين يسر ولن يشاد الدين أحد إلا غلبه
فسددوا وقاربوا وأبشروا واستعينوا بالغدوة والروحة وشيء من الدلجة
