Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Ra`natollah Alaikom for fabricating ahadith to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s)...

May Allah`s wrath be upon you and Abu Hurairah (the father of kitten) for attributing lies to the Holy Prophet.

 

May you be reserected with the like of yourself Mu`awiya and Yazid for your hate for Holy Prophet, how dare you attach lies to him???

Answer:

 

Abuse curse  revile the prophet(saws) companions

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 31  Surah Luqman verse 21:

And when it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has sent down”,  they say, “We shall only follow that upon which we found our forefathers.”   What!  Will they still be following them even if Shaitaan had been calling them to the raging Fire?

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 34 Surah Saba  verse 43:

When Our clear Revelations are recited to these people,  they say,  “This person only wants to turn you away from those deities whom your forefathers have been worshipping.”

 

My dear and beloved sister in islam, when one is born and brought up with a particular set of beliefs believing them to be the truth, and they are confronted with the Truth of the Quran and the Sunnah which happen to challenge the very basis of their beliefs and practices which the brother/sister has believed in since their birth, it is only natural that the person will try to defend their beliefs. 

 

Because the Truth from the Quran and the Sunnah are so overpowering in their truthfulness, some amongst them will use their intelligence and wisdom and succumb and submit to the Supreme Truth.  But some amongst them are so convinced in their ways, that they will not accept anything that is contrary to or challenges their ways or beliefs or practice…even if it happens to be Truth from Allah and His Messenger (saws)!   And because these brethren are not able to defend their beliefs neither in light of the Truth of the Quran and the Sunnah nor through intelligence or logic, they at times resort to at best, abuses, or at worst, threats to harm the person who wishes to introduce them to the Truth!

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 71-72:

They worship besides Allah those for whom Allah has sent down no authority!   Nor they themselves have any knowledge about them.  Such transgressors have no helper!   And when our clear Revelations are recited to them,  you perceive signs of disdain on the faces of the disbelievers, as though they were going to ASSUALT those who recite our Revelations to them!

 

Thus my beloved sister in Islam, as much as those who do not wish to comprehend and submit to the Truth might choose to abuse or curse or oppose those who invite them to the Truth, we, as your brothers and sincere well-wishers in faith pray that Allah Subhanah open their hearts and guide them to the Truth.  It may be that one day Allah Subhanah might open their hearts to the Truth and guide them to the Truth, and the enmity and hatred that exists in their hearts today for those who invite them to the Truth might turn into a lasting friendship and brotherhood not only in this world, but also in the Hereafter.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125:

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah Ha-Meem verses 33-34:

33      Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says "I am of those who bow in Islam"?

34      Nor can goodness and evil be equal!  Repel (evil) with what is better: then will he, between whom and thee was hatred, become as it were thy friend and intimate!

 

Respected Sister in Islam, as much as you may wish or choose to challenge or abuse those who invite you to the Truth, as your brothers and sincere well-wishers in faith, we humbly beseech and implore you in the Blessed Name of the Lord Creator, to abstain from reviling any of the noble companions of the Messenger of Allah (saws).

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.2  Narrated by Imran bin Husain

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "The best of my followers are those living in my generation (i.e. his companions), and then (2^nd best are) those who will follow them (the first generation), then (the 3^rd best are) those who follow them."

 

Sahih Muslim HadithH 6167   Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘Do not revile my Companions! Do not revile my Companions!  By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if one amongst you would have spent as much gold as Uhud it would not amount to as much as one ‘mudd’ (a small measurement of food) on behalf of one of them, or even half of it!’

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
