Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Vol. 2 [from 431 to 900 ] Compiled By Muhammad Gaffer Ibn Abdul Goffur 1 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam "And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!" [Surah Ghafir 40:60] "Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember!" [Surah An-Naml 27:62] 3 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam The Amir al-Mu'minin Abu Hafs 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (ra) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying, 'Actions are only by intentions, and each man has only that which he intends. Whoever's emigration is for Allah and His Messenger, then his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever's emigration is for some worldly gain which he can acquire or a woman he will marry, then his emigration is for that which he emigrates." [al-Bukhari & Muslim] 4 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Mentioned With Transliteration Meaning Allah's Name Subhanahu wa ta'ala He is exalted above weakness and indignity Allah's Name 'Azza wa-Jal He is exalted and glorified Allah's Name Jalla Jalaluh Exalted is His glory Prophet Muhammad Salla 'Llahu 'alayhi wa May Allah's peace and sallam blessings be on him Prophets and Angels 'Alayh is-Salam Peace be on him A Male Companion Radiya 'Llahu 'anhu May Allah be pleased with him A Female Companion Radiya 'Llahu 'anha May Allah be pleased with her Two Companion Radiya 'Llahu May Allah be pleased 'anhuma with them More Than Two Radiya 'Llahu 'anhum May Allah be pleased Companions with them A Past Scholar or Righteous Rahimahu 'Llah May Allah have mercy Muslim on him 5 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Acknowledgement All Praise and thanks be to Allah! We praise and thank Him, ask Him for His Help and Forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and the mischief of our deeds. He whom Allah guides will not be misled, and he whom Allah misleads will never have a guide. I testify that there is no deity but Allah alone, without any partners, and that Muhammad is His 'Abd (worshiper) and Messenger. Putting together a work of this nature is a monumental task that obviously takes more effort than that of a translator and editor. As is always, to mention all those who aided me with their various input would be an equally lengthy task. But, of course, a few people stand out for their significant commitment in making this book a success. Special thanks to my Parents, Wife & Khayer Uncle. Of course, first and last, all praise and thanks are due to Allah (SWT), may He (AWJ) forgive us for any mistakes and show us the right path. Aameen. Muhammad Gaffer Ibn Abdul Goffur September 01, 2015 6 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam 431 Ibn al-Qayyim said, "The meaning of the Taghut is 'everything whose limits the servant transgresses with regards to worshipping, obeying or following.' An example of worshipping would be in worshipping idols, an example of obeying would be obeying scholars in matters exceeding the limits, and an example of following would be following a leader in matters exceeding the limits. Imam Ibn 'Abdul Wahhab defined it as 'everything that is worshipped besides Allah.'" al-Qawl al-Mufid 'ala Kitab-it-Tawhid [1/59-60] by Ibn 'Uthaymin 432 Imam al-Awza'i (rahimahullah) said, "Az-Zuhri (d.124H) and Mak-hul were asked about the ayat regarding the Attributes of Allah and they replied, 'Leave them as they are.'" Related by al-Harawi in Dham-ul-Kalam (p.18) and Sharh Usul ul-I'tiqad (3/430) with a hasan isnad 433 Al-Walid Ibn Muslim (rahimahullah) said, "Malik (d.179H), al-Awxa'i, Layth Ibn Sa'ad (d.175H) and Sufyan ath-Thawri (d.167H) (rahimahullah), were asked about the reports concerning the Attributes [of Allah] and they all replied, 'Leave them as they are without asking how.'" Related by al-Ajuri (d.360H) in ash-Shari'ah (p.314), al-Bayhaqi in al-Asma was-Sifat (p.453) and also al-I'tiqad (p.118) and the isnad is hasan 434 Al-Awza'i (rahimahullah) said, "We would say while the Tabi'un (the successors of the Companions of the Messenger pbuh) were many, 'Indeed Allah, the Most Perfect, is above His Throne and we have Iman in what is related in the Sunnah concerning the Attributes [of Allah].'" 7 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam Related by al-Bayhaqi in al-Asma was-Sifat (p.408). The isnad is Jayyid al-Hafiz Ibn Hajr said in Fath-ul-Bari (13/406). Ibn Taymiyah said that its isnad was Sahih in al-Hamawiyah 435 Sufyan Ibn 'Uyaynah (d.198H) (rahimahullah) said, "Everything that Allah described Himself in His Book, then its recitation is its explanation without asking how or resembling." Related by al-Lalika'i in Sharh Usul Ahl-is-Sunnah (p.736) and ad-Daraqutni in as-Sifat (p.61). Its chain is Sahih as Ibn Hajr stated in Fath-ul-Bari (13/501) 436 Uthman [ra] said, "Signs of a person who really know Allah are eight - his heart is in a state of fear and hope, his tongue is in a state of praise and gratitude, his eyes are in a state of shame and tears, and his will is in leaving the duniya and seeking the pleasure of his Lord." Preparing for the day of Judgement by Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani, p.48 437 Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak (rahimahullah) said, "We know that our Lord, the Most Perfect, is above the heavens, above His 'Arsh (Throne), separate from His creation." Reported by Imam Abdullah bin Ahmad in his book as-Sunnah (no.22), ad-Darimi in Ar- Radd 'alal-Jahmiyah (no.23), and al-Bukhari in Khalq Af al-ul-Ibad 438 Nu'aym Ibn Hammad al-Khuza'i (d.228H, the Shaykh of al-Bukhari said, "Whoever resembles (makes tashbih of ) Allah to His creation has committed kufr (disbelief) and whoever denies what Allah has described Himself with has also committed kufr. Indeed, there is no tashbih at all in that which Allah has described Himself with, or what His Messenger has described Him with." Related by Imam al-Dhahabi with his isnad in Mukhtasar al-Uluw (p.184) and al-Albani said that its isnad was Sahih. 8 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam 439 Imam Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan ash-Shaybani (d.189H) (rahimahullah) said, "The scholars from the east and the west are all united upon having faith in the Qur'an and in the ahadith that are related by the precise, reliable narrators (thiqat) from Allah's Messenger [pbuh], concerning Allah's Attributes, without explanation or resemblance. Whoever explains anything from them this day, has left that which the Prophet [pbuh] was upon and has split from the Jama'ah. For they neither described nor explained, but rather they gave verdicts with what was in the Book and the Sunnah, then remained silent. Whoever speaks with the view of Jahm [Ibn Safwan] has split from the Jama'ah, because he described Him with attributes that are nothing." Related by al-Lalika'i in Sharh Usul Ahl-is-Sunnah (p.740). Ibn Taymiyah said in Majmu'ah al-Fatawa (4/4), "It is confirmed from Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan - the Companion of Abu Hanifa - that he said: [as above]." 440 Sufyan al-Thawri said, " The poor have chosen five things and the rich have chosen five others - the poor have chosen serenity of the soul, freedom from worries, worship of the Lord, ease of accountability, and the highest position. The rich have chosen weariness of the soul, preoccupation with worries, worship of the dunya, severity in accountability, and the lowest position." Preparing for the day of Judgement by Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani, p.32 441 Abu Ja'far at-Tirmidhi, when asked as to how Allah keeps His Attribute of being above the creation if He Descends to the Lowest Heaven in the last third of the night, replied, "The Nazul (Descends of Allah) is understood, but the how/nature is unknown, and faith in it is obligatory, and to question about [how] it is an innovation (bid'ah)." Mukhtasar al-Uluw (p.231). Al-Albani declared the chain Sahih. Abu Ja'far was from the greatest scholars of his day 9 Sayings of the Renowned Scholars of Islam 442 The Shaykh of Imam Malik, Rabi'ah Ibn Abi Abdir-Rahman (rahimahullah) said, "Al-Istiwa (Allah's Descending) is not unknown, and how is incomprehensible. From Allah is the Message, upon the Messenger is to clear convey it, and upon us is to affirm it." Al-Asma was-Sifat (pg.516). Ibn Taymiyah said in al-Hamawiyah (pg.80), "Al-Khallal narrated it with an isnad consisting of trustworthy and precise narrators." Al-Albani said that the isnad was Sahih in Mukhtasar al-Uluw (pg.132) 443 Imam Malik (rahimahullah) was asked about [how Allah made] al-Istiwa to which he replied, "Al-Istiwa is known and how is unknown.

Imam Hussein derives his glory from of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him. In fact, I do not find much trouble in a flow of ideas which follows one idea after the other about the wonderful example in steadfastness on the right. And I am thirsty for the moment when the article will be finished to start reading it again. When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

  • Chinggis Khan and His Conquest of Khorasan: Causes and Consequences
    CHINGGIS KHAN AND HIS CONQUEST OF KHORASAN: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES BY ANIBA ISRAT ARA ARSHAD ISLAM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA ABSTRACT This book explores the causes and consequences of Chinggis Khan’s invasion of Khorasan in the 13th century. It discusses Chinggis Khan’s charismatic leadership qualities that united all nomadic tribes and gave him the authority to become the supreme Mongol leader, which helped him to invade Khorasan. It also focuses on the rise of the Muslim cities in Khorasan where many Muslim scholars kept their intellectual brilliance and made Khorasan the cultural capital of the Muslims. This study apprises us of Chinggis Khan’s war tactics and administrative system which made his men extremely strong and advanced despite their culture remaining barbaric in nature. His progeny also followed a similar policy for a long time until all Muslim cities were fully destroyed. The work also focuses on the rise of many sectarian divisions among the Muslims which brought disunity that eventually led to their downfall. Thus, this study underscores the importance of revitalization of unity in the Muslim world so that Muslims may not become vulnerable to any foreign imperialistic power. Unity also is the key to preserve Muslim intellectual thought and Islamic cultural identities. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the beginning, I would like to say that all praise is to Allah (swt) Almighty; despite the difficulties, with His mercy, and the strength, patience and resilience that He has bestowed on me, I completed my work. I am heartily thankful to my beloved supervisor to Dr. Arshad Islam, whose encouragement, painstaking supervision and tireless motivating from the beginning of my long journey to the concluding level helped me to complete this study.

PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 1942 * COMPOSED AND PRINTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS CHICAGO, ILLINOI8, U.S.A. oi.uchicago.edu To MOTHER oi.uchicago.edu oi.uchicago.edu Preface OHAMMED, the prayerful and perfumed prophet of Islam, was avowedly a great M lover of the ladies, for whom, in turn, he held no small attraction. He was definitely among that class of great men who have the good for­ tune to win and retain the energetic support and wholehearted devotion of some able and loving women who contribute largely to the success and pleasure of their lives. Of Mohammed's several wives, two—Khadijah and Aishah—had more to offer along these lines than any of the others. The Quraish had been long dominant at Mecca.
