The brotherhood sense of Imaan.

Bismihi Ta`ala

*THE BROTHERHOOD SENSE OF IMAAN.*The beloved prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam gave us the glad tidings that there will always be a group of his ummati that will stay on Haq and will always express the truth of deen and no one will be stop them, even if the whole world is against them:صحيح مسلم – ()قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ
 Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said: ‘’There will be continuously be a group from my ummah that will triumph on the right path. They will not be harmed from opponents or from those who will stay aloof to help them. They will continue triumphing on their right path until Allah Ta`ala bring the day of judgement.’’(Sahih Muslim)صحيح مسلم )عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ هَانِئٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُاسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِAfter what Israel have done to Palestinians and its neighbours, it is shameful for an imaam to say on this issue:وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا “And say good things to people.”As if, to protect one`s shore, one can do anything to please the so called allies. Give hand to Israel and trod Palestinians, Open up to Israel and boycott Qatar and Turkey. Forget about the cries of the muslims of Kashmirs and prize the criminal Mody. There is no sense of a belonging of brotherhood as a ummah of one imaan now. But rather only my bread and my house matters. No ghairate imaani.سنن أبى داود – ()حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ الْعَنْسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُكُنَّا قُعُودًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ الْفِتَنَ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي ذِكْرِهَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ فِتْنَةَ الْأَحْلَاسِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ قَالَ هِيَ هَرَبٌ وَحَرْبٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّاءِ دَخَنُهَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مِنِّي وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَإِنَّمَا أَوْلِيَائِي الْمُتَّقُونَ ثُمَّ يَصْطَلِحُ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَوَرِكٍ عَلَى ضِلَعٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ الدُّهَيْمَاءِ لَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لَطَمَتْهُ لَطْمَةً فَإِذَا قِيلَ انْقَضَتْ تَمَادَتْ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا حَتَّى يَصِيرَ النَّاسُ إِلَى فُسْطَاطَيْنِ فُسْطَاطِ إِيمَانٍ لَا نِفَاقَ فِيهِ وَفُسْطَاطِ نِفَاقٍ لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَاكُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ أَوْ مِنْ غَدِهِ
 Reported in Abu Dawood that Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam was talking about the different trials and tribulations before the day of Judgement. He said: ‘’Tribulation of Ihlaas: A tribulation of running away and wars. Then a tribulation that a leader of the descendant of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam that thought he was on the sunnah, but because of no taqwa and lavish life, Rasouloullah SAW said that ‘’he is not part of me.’’ Because it is the pious that are amongst my companionship and that are mines . Then there will be a treaty that will not last. Then the international tribulation: no one will escape from this slap on the face. When it is thought that it has receded, it resurges again. During that era, one may start the day with imaan and then lose it at night. This will continue until there will only be two groups: One group will have imaan and there will no hypocrisy in there. And the other group will have hypocrisy in there, with absolutely no imaan. When you are in there, then just wait that Dajjaal comes out any moment on that day itself or the next day.’’(Abu Dawood)After consultation with my elders, I have analysed this hadith and brought to the conclusion that we are in the full swing of international islamophobia that has reached every individual in the ummah. When they finished with niqaab, they start with travel ban. When they finished with ban, they enclave our muslim brothers and sisters in their own land. When they finished, now they blaspheme the beloved prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam. And some muslim countries are staying silent on persecution and islamophobic initiative of the east and the west. Well, we have reached the dividing line of the groups: Only pure muslims. Or only pure Nifaaq/hypocrisy. There is a separation of grouping happening nowadays, so be careful not to fall in the group of nifaaq, where there is no trace of imaan. Lately, France blasphemed the beloved prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam through officially supporting and promoting shameful caricatures. Well, the love and muhabbah of Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam should urge us to at least refute this vile initiative with words and with boycotting French products. This is the least ghairati imaani. A reaction of imaan. Some people are saying that it is better to stay silent. Well, they are wrong.Firstly, because the reaction of sahabahs were outrageous when it was about mockery of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam.صحيح البخاري – ()فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نحوا من قوله لبديل فقال عروة عند ذلك أي محمد أرأيت إن استأصلت أمر قومك هل سمعت بأحد من العرب اجتاح أهله قبلك وإن تكن الأخرى فإني والله لأرى وجوها وإني لأرى أوشابا من الناس خليقا أن يفروا ويدعوك فقال له أبو بكر الصديق امصص ببظر اللات أنحن نفر عنه وندعه فقال من ذا قالوا أبو بكر قال أما والذي نفسي بيده لولا يد كانت لك عندي لم أجزك بها لأجبتك قال وجعل يكلم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فكلما تكلم أخذ بلحيته والمغيرة بن شعبة قائم على رأس النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعه السيف وعليه المغفر فكلما أهوى عروة بيده إلى لحية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ضرب يده بنعل السيف وقال له أخر يدك عن لحية رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرفع عروة رأسه فقال من هذا قالوا المغيرة بن شعبة
 In Hudeibiyyah, when some mushriks wished to intimidate Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam telling him that he was weak and soon the youth muslims will leave him. Instantly, Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a. retorted severely. And when the mushrik was speaking, he mockingly was putting his hand wish to hold the beard of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam. So instantly Hazrat Mugheirah bin Shu`bah r.a. hit back his hand with a helmet and told him:’’ Take off your hand from the beard of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam.’’(Sahih Bukhari)Today, if you can`t stop the cursed hand to draw mockingly the beard of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam, then at least express your hate for that through, words and boycott of French products.صحيح البخاري – ()قال أخبرني عمرو بن دينار أنه سمع جابرا رضي الله عنه يقولغزونا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد ثاب معه ناس من المهاجرين حتى كثروا وكان من المهاجرين رجل لعاب فكسع أنصاريا فغضب الأنصاري غضبا شديدا حتى تداعوا وقال الأنصاري يا للأنصار وقال المهاجري يا للمهاجرين فخرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ما بال دعوى أهل الجاهلية ثم قال ما شأنهم فأخبر بكسعة المهاجري الأنصاري قال فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم دعوها فإنها خبيثة وقال عبد الله بن أبي ابن سلول أقد تداعوا علينا لئن رجعنا إلى المدينة ليخرجن الأعز منها الأذل فقال عمر ألا نقتل يا رسول الله هذا الخبيث لعبد الله فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يتحدث الناس أنه كان يقتل أصحابه
 Moreover when the munafiq Ibn Salool blaspheme the prophet Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam in a travel, hazrat Umar r.a. said that there should be a correction for that. He did not sit doing nothing, protecting one`s power wheel.Furthermore, we are obliged to retort according to our capacity any vile blasphemy against our deen or the person of the prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam. Reported in Muslim shareef that Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said that we should try to correct any evil we see, with the given capacity and opportunity we have:صحيح مسلم – / )حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَأَوَّلُ مَنْ بَدَأَ بِالْخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ مَرْوَانُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ الصَّلَاةُ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ فَقَالَ قَدْ تُرِكَ مَا هُنَالِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ  


Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said: “Whoever amongst you sees an evil, then he should try to correct it with his hands. If he can’t, then try with his tongue. If he can’t, then feel it bad at least with his heart. And this is the state of the weakest imaan.”Sahih Muslim The strength of imaan put the impetus for us to react when seeing an evil. No reaction is no imaan or the weakest imaan possible.Banning niqaab is sinful. Blasphemy on the prophet is Kufr.So, we call upon the muslim ummah to express their ghairate imaani and retort to vile initiative of the French government to blaspheme the prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam by simply boycotting French products. Also put the profile picture of this boycott on your social media profile.Jazaakumallahou khairan
