It reveals the dangers of such rumors through analyzing the Hadith narrated by Omar regarding the rumor of the Prophet, peace be upon him, divorcing his wives and the Hadith narrated by Aisha regarding the falsehood incident, where some reliable and honorable Companions (Sahaba) fell prey to the rumors spread by hypocrites. These rumors aimed at weakening the leadership. They spread so quickly appearing as an absolute truth, resulting in serious harm –including illness, insomnia and crying- to the accused. Analyzing the two Hadiths shows how to face and address rumors. Rumors can be overcome through preventing one's tongue from spreading the rumors, asking and referring to specialized people, being patient when one is falsely accused, relying on Allah until the truth is revealed and innocence is proven and forgiveness to erase any traces of these rumors.

He whom Allah guides aright, there is none to mislead him, and he whom Allah leads astray, there is none to guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, who has no partners, and that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is His slave and Messenger. After Allah has blessed his messenger with victory in the great Battle of Badr(1), the phenomenon of hypocrisy led by Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Saloul(2) began to spread. Hypocrites are those who show faith and conceal disbelief (3). This is why they are dangerous; they live among Muslims, speak with them, pray with them and know everything about them. They attempted to destroy the Prophet's mosque from the inside, so they allied with the disbelievers of Quraysh(4) and the Jews of Al-Madinah (5) in every possible way including the spread of rumors to confuse the society. Hypocrites today may not conceal disbelief, but they share interests with the occupier and other enemies of our nation; the nation of Islam. These are now called the fifth column. The Prophet's Sunnah has clarified the role of hypocrites in spreading rumors at different occasions. In this research, we address two incidents of utmost importance, as they both targeted the leader of the state, Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, and his household. The first incident is the rumor that the Prophet, peace be upon him, divorced his wives, and the second is the incident of falsehood (ifk(6)) against the mother of believers, Aisha. The research relies on the analysis of the (1) The Battle of Badr: (Also called the Great Battle of Badr) is the battle between Muslims and Arab polytheists and their allies on Ramadan, 17th 2AH. See: Bin Hisham, As-Sirah An-Nabaweya, Vol. 1/607 (2) Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul: Abdullah bin Abi Malek Bin Al-Hareth bin Ubaid (also called bin Salul). He was Chief of the Arab tribe "Banu Khazraj" in the pre-Islamic paganism. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived at Al-Madinah, the people were about to gather pearls (of a crown) to crown him as the leader. This invoked bin Ubayy's jealousy and he became a hypocrite and even "the chief of hypocrites". Ibn Al-Jawzi, Al-Muntatham fi Tarikh Al- Mulouk Vol. 3/377 (3) Al-Jurjani, Vol. 1/40 (4) Quraysh: It is a tribe attributed to Kinanah bin Mudar bin Adnan, son of the Prophet Ismail bin Ibrahim (peace be upon them), as was narrated in the Hadith, "and he [Allah] chose Banu Kinanah from the children of Isma'il, and He chose the Quraysh from Banu Kinanah, and He chose Banu Hashim from Quraysh, and He chose me from Banu Hashim". It is the tribe of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Al-Qurtubi, al-Inbah 'ala Qaba'il al-Ruwah, Vol. 1/41 (5) Jews of Al-Madinah: are the Jews who had lived in Al-Madinah when the Prophet (peace be upon him) emigrated to it. All the people entered Islam except these Jews. They were called "the Jews of Al-Madinah- to differentiate them from other Jews. The Jews in Al-Madinah and Khaybar include Banu Qurayza, Banu Nadir and Banu Qaynuqa'. However, some of the people of the Tribes of the Aws and Khazraj converted to Judaism. Abu Al-Qasim Al-Suhayli, Al-Rawd al-Unuf, Vol.4/199 (1) The incident of Falsehood: the incident when the hypocrites accused the mother of Believers, Aisha, of adultery in the sixth year of Hijra. The incident occurred when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was on a campaign and was accompanied by Aisha. After their victory on that battle and on their way home, the Prophet (peace be upon him) wanted to stay the night at one house. Aisha wanted to relieve herself away from the army. When she was going back, and the army was getting ready to march, she realized she had lost her necklace. She went back to search for it.

She stayed in that place waiting for someone to come back for her. Safwan bin Al-Muattal, who was assigned to survey the area and ensure that nothing was forgotten, saw her and allowed her to ride on his camel and led her to where the army was.

  • How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution?
    Implementing Islamic Constitutionalism: How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution? Muhammad Siddiq Armia Abstract: Implementing Islamic Constitutionalism: How Islamic Is Indonesia Constitution?. Religious constitutionalism has recently become a global discussion. Such a trend arises as a result of several countries that have a majority of religious adherents declare their constitution based on certain religions. Thailand, for example, provides special norms about Buddhism (Buddhist constitutionalism), the Vatican has special norms about Catholicism (Catholic constitutionalism), India has special norms about Hinduism (Hindu constitutionalism), Saudi Arabia has norms specifically about Islam (Islamic constitutionalism), and so on. This article analyzes whether or not the Islamic principles have been adopted in the Indonesian Constitution. These principles consist of protecting religion, soul, mind, offsprings, and property. The author uses the five principles as a standard in measuring the entire Indonesian Constitution which constitutes to the teachings of Islam (Islamic constitutionalism). The implementation of Islamic constitutionalism can be identified through articles in the constitution. This study concluded that, in general, the Indonesian constitution could be considered to have agreed to Islamic constitutionalism, although in some cases it still needs to be actualized more.

    JEWS IN THE QURʾĀN: AN EVALUATION OF THE NAMING AND THE CONTENT Salime Leyla Gürkan İstanbul 29 Mayıs University, Istanbul-Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract No other people are mentioned in the Qurʾān as often as the people of Israel. They appear in sixteen sūrahs and approximately forty verses by name (banū Isrāʾīl). The Qurʾān also makes reference to the Jews either by name (al-yahūd/hūd) or within the context of the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb). This paper aims to discuss the Qurʾānic verses about the Jews and the people of Israel in terms of the naming and the content. Key questions to be addressed are: What is the purpose of the frequent mention of the people of Israel in the Qurʾān? What is the context and the content of the verses about the Jews and the people of Israel both in Meccan and Medinan sūrahs? What message or messages are intended to or can be conveyed by these verses? Key Words: Qurʾān, Jews (yahūd/hūd), the people of Israel (banū Isrāʾīl), the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb), the Prophet Muḥammad, Muslims, Islām.

Dear Brother, Extracts from the Friday Sermon delivered by Hadrat Khalīfa-tul-Masīh V (May Allāh be his Helper) on 15 February 2019 at Baitul Futūh Mosque, London. Our Imām, Hadrat Khalīfa-tul-Masīh V (May Allāh be his Helper) continuing with the accounts of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) who participated in the Battle of Badr said: today first of them about whom I will speak is; Hadrat Khalid bin Qais (May Allāh be pleased with him): He belonged to Banu Bayazah branch of Khazraj tribe. His father’s name was Qais bin Mālik and his mother was Salmah bint Harithah. His wife’s name was Umm-e-Rabi’ī and they had a son by the name of Abdur Rahman. According to Ibn-e-Ishaq, he participated in the Second Bai'at Aqabah along with 70 Ansār. He participated in the Battles of Badr and Uhud. Hadrat Harith bin Khazamah Ansāri (May Allāh be pleased with him): His title was Abu Bishr. He belonged to the Khazraj tribe of Ansār who were confederates of Banu ’Abd Al-Ashhal. He accompanied the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) in all the Battles, including Badr, Uhud and Khandaq. It is reported that during the Battle of Tabuk the Holy Prophet’s (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) camel went missing, upon which the hypocrites started objecting, “How can he have knowledge of the Heavens when he does not even know where his camel is?” When the Holy Prophet (May Allāh's Blessings be upon him) heard this, he said, “I only know that which God reveals to me.” He then said that God had informed him that his camel was in a certain valley.

  • Apprehending the Political Thought of Ibn Taymiyah Mehraj Ud Din
    Apprehending the Political Thought of Ibn Taymiyah Mehraj ud din Abstract The pervasive worldview of Islam has not left any aspect of human society untouched and the polity is no exception to it. History bears witness that Islamic tradition has produced a number of axiomatic figures, who dealt with every aspect of human thought. The name Ibn Taymiyah is not unknown to those interested in Islam and Muslims, be they academicians, activists, thinkers, or others. Yet too often, little beyond the name and an obscure preconception of this man is known to people. So who was Ibn Taymiyah about whom such controversy persists eight centuries after his death? The twentieth century political discourse has repudiated the edifice of Islamic polity and presented, Ibn Taymiyah as the father of radical fundamentalism. The present paper will give the brief sketch of genesis of Islamic polity with special reference to the political thought of Ibn Taymiyah. It will also highlight his distinctive contribution in the discourse of Islamic political thought. Introduction The worldview of Islam is replete with a vibrant and dynamic organizational structure underlying a coherent socio-politico-economic system which places Islam at a higher pedestal in the emblem of ideologies. The contemporary contoured post-renaissance intellectual discourse reveals this fact that there is a dynamic paradigm shift from pre-modern metaphysical explanation of world to modern humanist interpretation of life which has altogether traversed the meaning of things from their own contextual episteme. Mehraj ud din is a doctoral candidate at Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India.

DURING HIS MAKKAN PHASE SUMMARY Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Bottor of pi)tlo£fopI)2> IN SUNNI THEOLOGY BY ISRAR AHMAD KHAN Under the supervision of Dr. IQBAL HASAN KHAN DEPARTMENT OF SUNNI THEOLOGY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1990 IN THE NAMK OF ALT.AH^ THE BENSFICEKT, THE MERCIFUL INTRODUCTION The Prophet Muharrcnad (S.A.W.) emigrated to Madinah in the year 622 C.E. He established a full-fledged Islamic society and State there. This is an irrefutable event of human history. A majority of orientalists is of the view that this Madani phase of the Prophet (S.A.W.) was totally a political phase having :io connection with his previous Da'wah in Makkah before Hijrah, They argue that the Kakki period of the Prophet experienced religious and spiritual preaching while the Haoani period of ten years was dominated by political activities. They also allege that the Prophet was simply a reformer in Makkah but a political and military leader in Madinah. The truth is that most of the writings of the western scholars are parts of the Zionists * design against Islam and Muslims. Sirah books authored by orienta- lists served well the Zionism. They influenced tte Muslim minds also to a very great extent. Many a Muslim scholars to say nothing of laymen* believe that the organization of government and state after Hijrah was not a part of the Prophet's mission but it was a God-gifted reward for the steadfastness of the Prophet and his follwers on Islamic beliefs and deeds in Makkah.

The strategic position of the Arab countries, the oil they produce, their sudden emancipation and emergence as independent states, their revolutions and coups d’état, have been the special concern of statesmen, politicians, businessmen, scholars and journalists, and of equal interest to the general public. An appreciation of the present-day problems of Arab countries and of their immediate neighbours demands a certain knowledge of their geographical and social background; and a knowledge of the main trends of their history political, cultural and religious-is essential for an understanding of current issues. Arabs had existed long before the advent of Islam in the seventh century AD, but it was with Islam that they became a world power. Arab civilization, which resulted from the contacts the Arabs had with other peoples and cultures, especially after the creation of this world power, and which reached its height in the ninth, tenth and eleventh centuries, was, for a few centuries that followed, the guiding light of a large part of the world.

  • NEW YEARS SLEEPOVER TARBIYYAT TOPIC MAJLIS ATFAL UL-AHMADIYYA USA What Does Islam Teach About Peace?
    New Year’s Resolution: Spreading Peace NEW YEARS SLEEPOVER TARBIYYAT TOPIC MAJLIS ATFAL UL-AHMADIYYA USA What does Islam teach about peace? Tell me your thoughts… What does Islam teach about peace? Does anyone know what Holy Prophet (saw) said about attaining peace? “None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed…(help the oppressor) by preventing him from oppressing others.” But what did he do to show this? Let me tell you a story about the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)… Before Islam… There were 5 big tribes in Arabia in a city called Yathrib: Banu Khazraj and Aus who were Arabs that believed in many gods. Banu Qaynqa, Nadir, and Qurayza who were Jews. Yathrib would later be known as Medina. Here comes the Prince of Peace Before Medina existed, they used to fight all the time. When the tribes heard the message of Islam, they invited Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) to their city. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) was told by Allah taalah to leave Mecca. He lived in Mecca for 13 years being persecuted by the Meccans for preaching Islam. Muslims never fought back. The Medina Charter The Holy prophet Muhammad (saw) created a charter, in which he laid down rules for all of the tribes which consisted of Jews, people who worshipped many gods, and others. Tribes lived by their own laws. They helped each other from outside troublemakers. A Model for Peace Created The tribes stopped fighting, and chose Prophet Muhammad (saw) to be their leader! The tribes of Banu Khazraj and Aus became Muslim.
