Virtues of Visiting the Sick Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah a reports that Rasulullah ` said: “Whomsoever visits a sick person or visits his brother for the sake of Allah f, a caller calls out, ‘You have done good, your footsteps are blessed and you have prepared an abode in Jannah” (Sunan Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah and Sahih Ibn Hibban) Sayyiduna ‘Ali a narrates that Rasulullah ` said: “When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels make du’a of forgiveness for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand Angels make du’a of forgiveness for him till the morning, and he will be granted a garden in Jannah” (Sunan Tirmidhi, Sunan Abi Dawud and Sahih Ibn Hibban) Sayyiduna Anas a reports that Rasulullah ` said: ‘Whoever makes a proper wudu, and sets out to visit his sick Muslim brother with the expectation of reward, will be distanced seventy years [journey] away from Jahannam.’ (Sunan Abi Dawud, Al-Mu’jamul Awsat. Also see Targhib and Hidayatur Ruwat) Sayyiduna Jabir and Sayyiduna Ka’b c report that Nabi ` said: When one sets out to visit the sick, he enters into Allah’s mercy. When he sits beside the sick person, he is totally immersed in mercy. (Muwatta Imam Malik, Musnad Ahmad and Sahih Ibn Hibban) One who visits the sick will find Allah f. Rasulullah ` said: ‘Allah f will say to man [on the day of Qiyamah]: O my slave, I was sick and you refused to visit me. Man will exclaim: O Allah, how could that be possible whereas You are the Lord of the Worlds? Allah f will reply: A certain slave of mine was sick, had you visited him, you would have found Me by him.’ (Sahih Muslim) .

Maliki School
Dr. Javed Ahmed Qureshi School of Studies in Law Jiwaji University GWALIOR - 474 011 (MP), INDIA LAW B.A.LL.B. IV-SEM MUSLIM LAW BY Dr. JAVED AHMED QURESHI DATE- 04-04-2020 MALIKI SCHOOL Maliki school is one of the four schools of fiqh or religious law within Sunni Islam. It is the second largest of the four schools, followed by about 25% Muslims, mostly in North Africa and West Africa. This school is not a sect, but a school of jurisprudence. Technically, there is no rivalry or competition between members of different madrasas, and indeed it would not be unusual for followers of all four to be found in randomly chosen American or European mosques. This school derives its name from its founder Imam Malik-bin-Anas. It originates almost to the same period as the Hanafi school but it flourished first in the city of Madina. Additionally, Malik was known to have used ray (personal opinion) and qiyas (analogy). This school is derives from the work of Imam Malik. It differs in different sources from the three other schools of rule which use it for derivation of regimes. All four schools use the Quran as the primary source, followed by Prophet Muhammad's transmitted as hadith (sayings), ijma (consensus of the scholars or Muslims) and Qiyas (analogy).In addition, the School of Maliki uses the practice of the people of Madina (Amal Ahl al-Madina) as a source. While the Hanafi school relies on Ijma (interpretations of jurists), the Maliki school originates from Sunna and Hadis.

Nikah Without the Consent of a Wali for Female
Nikah without the consent of a Wali for female The ruling of marriage without the approval of a wali is considered invalid by not only Imam Shafi', Imam Malik and Imam Ahmed, but also by Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad of the Hanafi School, however, look at some of the evidence that the Hanafi school agreed upon. From the Link provided by brother Muadh; http://www.croydonmosque.com/pdf/The%20position%20of%20a%20gua rdian%20Wali%20in%20the%20Nikah%20of%20a%20mature%20female .pdf CLEAR CUT EVIDENCE: 1) Sayyidina Ibn Abaas RA relates: the Prophet SAW stated: ‘A mature woman has more right over her affair in regards to Nikah than her own guardian.’ (Sahih Muslim vol 1, p455/ Sunan Nasai p276/ Sunan Abu Dawood p286/ Jami Tirmidhi vol 2, p164) 2) Sayyidah Umme Salama RA related that after the death of the husband of Subai’ah Aslami RA , two weeks after his passing away she gave birth to a baby (therefore her Iddah was complete). Following this, she was sent proposals for marriage from two men, a mature individual and an elderly man. The elderly man, seeing this situation advised her: ‘it is not Halal for you to accept a proposal yet as your guardians/housefolk are not present (they were travelling).’ To understand the truth of this man’s advice, Sayyidah Subai’ah Aslami RA presented her case to the Prophet SAW. The Prophet SAW stated to her: ‘Verily, it is Halal for you! Which ever of them you wish to do Nikah with, you may.’ (Muwatta Imam Malik#156 /Sunan Nasai vol 2, p114) 3) A woman presented herself to the Prophet with the intention of being married to him .

Internet users are more likely to ignore Internet content verification and more likely to share the content. When it comes to Islamic content, it is crucial to share and spread fake or inaccurate content. Even if the verification process of Islamic content is becoming easier every day, the Internet users generally ignore the verification step and jump into sharing the content. “How many clicks away from users’ results? ”, this is the common question that is considered as a rule in modern website design. Internet users prefer the results to come to their page rather than to navigate it on their own. This paper presents a simple method of bringing hadith verification to the user web browser using web browser plugin. Keywords—Hadith Verification, Web browser Extension, Islamic Internet Content. INTRODUCTION Islamic knowledge transformation from books to structured Information technology is imminent. Number of Muslims that are obtaining their Islamic knowledge and Fatwa from Internet is significantly increasing. Advanced Machine learning [1] and Text mining [2] technologies should be widely used to accommodate the digital transformation of Islamic knowledge.

Imam 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Publicado en Al-Islam.org (https://www.al-islam.org) Inicio > Inquiries About Shi'a Islam > Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib > Who are the Twelve Leaders? Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib The Noble Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad speciﬁcally refer to the leadership of Imam ‘Ali after the Prophet in several incidents. Ghadir Khum This incident took place on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth month of theu Islamic calendar, and has been narrated by 110 companions of the Prophet, 84 members of the following generation (the tabi΄in), and 360 Muslim scholars from all schools of thought. Prophet Muhammad and approximately 114,000 of his companions had performed the farewell Hajj (pilgrimage) and were returning home. That year, during the Hajj, the weather was very hot with the blazing sun taking its toll on the pilgrims. When the Prophet arrived at Ghadir Khum, a marshland crossroads from which all the Muslims from different lands would part on their own ways, the Prophet stopped the caravan at noontime, and waited for those who were behind to arrive and called upon those who had gone ahead to return, for he had received a revelation from Allah which he had to deliver to the people. The revelation read, “O Messenger! Declare what has been revealed to you from Your Lord, and if you do not, then your mission will not have been fully declared, and Allah will protect you from the harm of the people.”1 Then the Prophet spoke a bit before asking the assembly whether he truly had authority over them or not.

In particular, it focuses on his two main exegetical works entitled Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim which he authored with the assistance of his pupils from 1937 until his demise in 1969, and a work on legal verses of the Quran entitled Tafsir al-Ahkam. Due to its nature, appropriate qualitative methods are applied in this study comprising mainly historical, library research and content analysis. The findings highlight some of the salient features of the exegetical methods of the author and its primal role in influencing the style of exegetical composition by succeeding authors. These books also reflect the concern of the local scholars on the needs of the Muslims for credible religious works and references in languages accessible to them, which have also had its impact on the development in the field of Quranic exegesis in the region. Keywords: Abdul Halim Hasan, Quran, Exegesis, Religious Discourse, Malay World INTRODUCTION The Quran, as the ultimate source of Islam, has been the subject of studies and analysis by scholars since its revelation to Prophet Muhammad some 1,400 years ago.
