Qur'an Related, - Some of the Miracles in the Life of Our Prophet (saas)

There were many miracles in our Prophet's (saas) life, such as the
Qur'an (the greatest miracle), his excellent moral character, and his
actions and sayings. He proclaimed the Qur'an as a guide to the right
path and reached all of his people, from the least civilized Bedouins
to highly civilized people. This was also one of Allah's miracles. He
communicated the morality of Islam most effectively. Through him,
people who used to bury their daughters alive turned into merciful and
compassionate human beings, and people who used to worship idols made
with their own hands came to believe in the oneness of Allah.
Many of these miracles are related in the Qur'an and the hadiths.
Among them the following:
His ascension into heavens (Mi`raj)
Sidrat al-Muntaha: The border at which the knowledge of created things
ends and which it cannot pass.
The Qubbat al-Sakhra (Dome of the Rock), built on the Hajar Muallaq stone
The Prophet Muhammad's (saas) ascension is one of the greatest
miracles. Surat al-Isra' and Surat al-Najm relate his miraculous night
journey to the Masjid al-Aqsa and his ascension to the "lote tree of
the utmost boundary" (sidrat al-muntaha).
In Arabic, isra' means "night journey" or "night walk." In the first
verse of Surat al-Isra', Almighty Allah tells us of our dear Prophet's
miraculous journey:
Glory be to Him Who took His servant on a journey by night from the
Masjid al-Haram to the Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have
blessed, in order to show him some of Our Signs. He is the
All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. (Surat al-Isra': 1)
The word aqsa means "far" or "farthest." The Masjid al-Haram is
located in Mecca; the Masjid al-Aqsa is located in Jerusalem. The
distance between them is about 1,235 kilometres (767 miles). Our
Prophet (saas) was transported from Mecca to Jerusalem. The great
Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir says that at least twenty-five Companions
heard the story from our Prophet (saas) but that this number could
have been as high as forty-five. The accounts reported by Anas ibn
Malik, Abu Hurayrah, Abu Sa`id al-Khudri, Malik ibn Sa'sa, Abu Zarr
al-Ghaffari, Abdullah ibn Abbas, Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, and Umm Hani are
considered the most reliable. According to them, while our Prophet
(saas) was sleeping in his niece's (Umm Hani Abi Talib) house, Gabriel
appeared to him, put him on a horse called Buraq, and took him to the
Masjid al-Aqsa, where he ascended. The hadiths contain a great deal of
detailed information about what he saw during this event, such as his
conversations with earlier prophets and his glimpses of Paradise and
Hell.
The Hajar Muallaq: The sacred stone upon which our Prophet (saas)
stepped when he ascended to Mi'raj.
According to Islamic texts, the Meccan unbelievers doubted this
miracle because of their weak intellects and so tried to find out if
his words were true. Due to this unseemly attitude, the Lord
humiliated them and turned their ridicule against them:
They asked: "Will you describe the Masjid al-Aqsa to us?" Some of them
had been there and seen it. The Prophet (saas) related: "I began
describing the mosque. In describing some places, I fell into doubt.
At this, the mosque was brought and placed in front of the house of
'Iqal or 'Aqil. I looked at it and began describing it." After the
Prophet's address they exclaimed: "As for the description, by Allah,
he was correct!" 22
Above: Our Prophet's (saas) miraculous journey was from the al-Haram
al-Sharif in Mecca to the Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem
He also said:
"I remember being in al-Hijr, and the Qurayshis were asking me about
my Night Journey. They asked me things about Bayt al-Maqdis of which I
was not sure ... Then Allah raised it up for me to see, and there was
nothing they asked me about that I could not tell them."23
Before this event, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) had never gone to the
Masjid al-Aqsa, so it was a great miracle and mercy from Allah that he
could answer all of these questions. This miracle increased the
believers' enthusiasm and eagerness and strengthened their bond with
our Prophet (saas); some of the unbelievers, however, persisted in
their rebellion. They went to Abu Bakr and, after making groundless
accusations about our Prophet (saas), asked if he believed this story
and if he would continue to believe in our Prophet (saas). He replied:
"If he said it, then I believe him, yes." For his loyalty, our Prophet
(saas) gave him the title al-Siddiq (the Faithful).
The hadiths also tell us that our Prophet (saas) gave them one more
miraculous sign that they could not deny:
They asked him: "What is your proof?" The Prophet replied: "I
encountered a caravan belonging to Quraysh. It was at such-and-such a
place. The caravan was frightened by us and changed course. There was
a black and a white sack on one camel in the caravan; that particular
camel cried out and then collapsed." When the caravan returned, they
asked what had happened and were told of the events, just as the
Prophet (saas) had said. 24
External view of the Qubbat al-Sakhra (Dome of the Rock).
Both his description of the Masjid al-Aqsa and of the caravan were
great miracles of Allah's mercy. Allah informs us in the Qur'an of
some of the verses about his ascent to the "lote tree of the final
limit":
He saw him again another time by the Lote-tree of the Final Limit,
beside which is the Garden of Refuge, when that which covered the
Lote-tree covered it. His eye did not waver, nor did he look away. He
saw some of the Greatest Signs of his Lord. (Surat al-Najm: 13-18)
The land on which the Qubbat al-Sakhra and the Masjid al-Aqsa stand is
sacred to all Muslims
This great miracle is an important proof from the Lord to the
unbelievers. Every single miracle that the Lord allowed our Prophet
(saas) to perform was created by Allah's will; none of them depended
upon a cause. And, they all strengthened the believers' faith.-

Qur'an Related, - Some Jewish scholars recognize our Prophet (saas)

Jews and Christians, described in the Qur'an as "People of the Book,"
have some certain corruptions in their beliefs and practices. However,
they still follow a religion sent down by Allah. Allah says that the
Qur'an was sent down to confirm other holy books:
Believe in what I have sent down, confirming what is with you. Do not
be the first to reject it, and do not sell My Signs for a paltry
price. Have fear and consciousness of Me alone. (Surat al-Baqarah: 41)
Allah reveals in another verse that some Jewish scholars knew the Qur'an:
It is certainly in the scriptures of the previous peoples. Is it not,
indeed, a Sign for them that the scholars of the tribe of Israel have
knowledge of it? (Surat al-Shu'ara':196-97)
In his work Al-Asas fi al-Tafsir, the famous Qur'anic commentator Imam
Said Hawa states:
It is certain that the Qur'an existed in earlier books. In other
words, it is referred to in earlier scriptures, or the senses it
contains were transmitted by the prophets of other communities and
were present in their books in the manner revealed by Allah, as can be
seen in Divine texts.
...Moderate and honest Jewish scholars know that the Tawrah, Psalms, and
Gospel contain the contents of the Qur'an; that every element in it is
the truth from Allah; and that this is the last book and the last
prophet of whom the earlier scriptures speak. 20
Jewish and Christian scholars therefore immediately recognized the
Prophet Muhammad (saas) as the foretold illiterate prophet (no matter
how much they did not want to accept this truth). Allah states in the
Qur'an that the People of the Book will recognize our Prophet (saas)
as they know their own children, but that some will rebel in spite of
this and that those who do not believe in him will be disappointed:
Those We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own
sons. Yet a group of them knowingly conceal the truth. (Surat
al-Baqarah: 146)
Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize
their own children. As for those who have lost their own selves, they
have no belief. (Surat al-An'am: 20)
Allah warns the Israelites in Surat al-Baqarah:
O tribe of Israel, remember the blessing I conferred on you. Honor My
contract and I will honor your contract. Have fear and respect of Me
alone. Have belief in what I have sent down, confirming what is with
you. Do not be the first to reject it, and do not sell My Signs for a
paltry price. Have fear and taqwa of Me alone. Do not mix up truth
with falsehood and knowingly hide the truth. (Surat al-Baqarah:
40-42)
The only way that our Prophet (saas) could have known of these
blessings and the vows they had made to Allah was if the Lord had told
him. When the Prophet Muhammad (saas) recited these verses, the wise
men of the Israelites recognized him as the messenger for whom they
had been waiting. The People of the Book knew who he was and that he
spoke the truth due to his way of life and moral character. Allah
relates in the Qur'an:
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find
written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to
do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things lawful
for them and bad things unlawful for them, relieving them of their
heavy loads and the chains that were around them. Those who believe
him, honor and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down
with him, they are the ones who are successful." (Surat al-A'raf: 157)
The famous Islamic scholar Omer Nasuhi Bilmen interprets this verse as follows:
This verse reveals that those possessed of the most distinguished
qualities, the best deeds and excellences in this world and the
Hereafter, are the followers of the Khatam al-Anbiya' (the Last
Prophet): those who follow the Prophet Muhammad (saas)- to whom the
Divine Book, in which the knowledge of the past and future are
contained, was revealed, though he read nothing from anyone and wrote
nothing - achieve the honor of being of his community. He is referred
to by name or by his characteristics in the Tawrah and the Gospel.
There can be no doubt that he is present in name and in his
characteristics in these books. If such were not written in those
books, would the Prophet Muhammad (saas) claim to be [referred to] and
thus give grounds for his rejection? He is such a great Prophet that
he commands and advises those whom he calls to faith, all humanity, to
respect and honor the commands of Allah, to acquire proper belief and
morality, and to show affection to creatures (and he forbids the
wrong). 21
As we can see, the fact that his coming and the qualities of this
blessed person were foretold to the People of the Book is another of
the miracles associated with him. Those Jews and Christians who, with
faith and common sense, used their conscience to consider what they
saw have confirmed this evident truth.

Qur'an Related, - Our Prophet's (saas) Excellent Character

The prophet Muhammad (saas) is a blessed man and greatly honored in
Allah's sight. Allah sent him to guide everyone to the right and made
him great in the world; he had the kind of moral character that made
him the most trustworthy of all human beings, and he was an example to
others in his honesty. He was a messenger of Allah whose godliness,
good moral character, and disposition were exemplary. His compassion,
politeness, subtle understanding, trust in Allah, and patient
determination make him a guide for all Muslims.
Ibrahim ibn Muhammad (ra), a grandson of Ali ibn Abu Talib (ra),
relates the following information:
Whenever Ali described the Messenger of Allah's (saas) noble features,
he used to say: "He was the most generous and the most truthful
person. He was the most kind-hearted person. Any person who saw him
would suddenly become awed. Anyone who came into close contact with
him and knew his excellent character loved him. The one who described
him said: 'I have not seen anyone like him before him or after him.'"
12
In his community, our Prophet (saas) was known as al-Amin (the
Turstworthy). His face shed a noble light that convinced everyone who
saw it of his honesty. Those who listened to their conscience while
speaking with him understood that he was special; they saw many proofs
that he was a prophet. He was intelligent and insightful and, due to
his excellent character, even the hypocrites asked him to solve their
disputes.
Ibn Sa`d gave the following account, which he received from Ibn Asakir
(ra), concerning the virtues and goodness that the Companions
continually saw in our Prophet (saas):
The Prophet (saas) grew as the best among people in terms of honesty,
the most beautiful in character, the most perfect in social relations,
the most generous in neighborliness, the most forward in gentleness
and security, the truest spoken, and the one who attached the greatest
importance to courtesy and good manners. He got on well with all. For
that reason they called him al-Amin – the truest and most trustworthy.
13
Ibn Sa`d related the following from ibn Hashim (ra):
During the Days of Ignorance, everyone asked the Prophet of Allah to
resolve disputes. 14
Ya`qub ibn Sufyan (ra) and al-Bayhaqi (ra) received the following from
Ibn Shihab (ra):
Hacer-i Esved taşı
When the Quraysh rebuilt the Ka`bah, they began to argue who would lay
the Black Stone (in its original position). Each tribe wished to lay
it. Then they said: "Whoever comes from that road, let's appoint him
to judge among us." The first to approach was Prophet Muhammad (saas),
who was then still a young man. (According to reliable sources, he was
thirty-five.) They appointed him arbiter. He said: "Bring a ground
cloth." A ground cloth was brought. "Now put the stone on it
together," he said. After the stone was placed on the cloth, he said:
"Let the eldest man of each tribe come and hold one end of the cloth."
They carried the stone to its place in that manner. He then went up
and installed the stone he had taken from them. As he grew older, he
attracted the love and respect of all. Because of the fame his honesty
won him, he was known as al-Amin, the most trustworthy. This was
before the revelation had descended upon him.15
Our Prophet (saas) spent his life guiding people to the right path,
teaching his Companions and talking with the unbelievers in an attempt
to direct them to the right way. As a result, simple Bedouins became
good human beings shining with the light of faith. This was a great
miracle. Besides his own moral goodness, our Prophet (saas) manifested
many kinds of miraculous qualities that were witnessed not only by the
Companions, but also by many unbelievers. His miracles were divine
proofs to the believers and a means to faith and the right path.
Given that he worked for twenty-three years, fought many battles,
dealt with wicked and angry people, and was always in the vanguard of
the struggle, it is miraculous that nothing untoward happened to him
and that he was not murdered. His extraordinary determination and
heroism increased all of his Companions' enthusiasm. It is also
miraculous that he was able to plant the roots of the fear of and
respect for Allah in his enemies' hearts and to defeat the unbelievers
every time. Allah helped him in battle with angels and unseen armies,
and so he could scatter hostile armies that were far larger and more
powerful than his own:
Yes indeed! But if you are steadfast and have taqwa and they come upon
you suddenly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels,
clearly identified. Allah only did this for it to be good news for you
and so that your hearts might be set at rest by it (help comes from no
one but Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise) (Surah Al 'Imran: 125-26)
Our Prophet (saas) proclaimed Islam very effectively and with
determination. As a result, he endured great suffering. Even when he
was offered a treasure to stop spreading Islam, he rejected this and
many similar proposals. Always paramount in his mind was winning
Allah's approval and working for the Muslims and Islam. He always
hoped for Allah's help and believed that, with His help, he and the
believers would eventually prevail. So, he was always under Allah's
protection and never suffered any harm from the unbelievers:
You will have a wage that never fails. Indeed, you are truly vast in
character. (Surat al-Qalam: 3-4)
Truly it is the speech of a noble Messenger, possessing great
strength, securely placed with the Lord of the Throne, obeyed there,
trustworthy. Your companion is not crazy. He [Muhammad] saw him on the
clear horizon. Nor is he miserly with the Unseen. (Surat at-Takwir:
19-24)
The great Islamic scholar Imam al-Ghazzali gives an account of the
Prophet's excellent moral character, based on the hadiths collected by
al-Tirmidhi, al-Tabarani, Imam al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Imam Ahmad,
Sunan Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah:
The Prophet was the most patient of men, the bravest, the best judge,
and one who pardoned most. He was the most charitable of men. He did
not store up the provisions of his family members that Allah was
pleased to give him for more than a year. What remained in excess, he
used to give in sadaqah. He used to give away in sadaqah to those who
begged anything of him, even out of his stored-up provisions.
He used to speak the truth, even though it sometimes caused trouble
both to himself and his Companions. He used to accept invitations to
weddings, visit the sick and the diseased, and attend funerals. He was
the most modest, without pride; his speech was most eloquent, without
lengthiness. His constitution was the most beautiful.
He even used to go to distant places to visit the sick, ... sit with
the poor and destitute, eat with them, honor those possessing
nobility, and advise them to do good deeds and show kindness to
relatives. He did not treat anyone harshly and accepted the excuses
offered to him. He joked, but spoke the truth.
He held innocent sport and play as lawful, played with his wives and
held races with them. He did not belittle the poor for their poverty
nor show respect to the wealthy for their riches. He used to call
people to Allah. 16-

Dought & clear, - Ruling on the riddle: "Who are those who speak the truthbut their destination is Hell?"

Who are those who speak the truth but their destination is Hell?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It should be noted that truthfulness is a means of salvation in this
world and in the Hereafter, and lying is a cause of doom.
Muslim (2607) narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: "I enjoin you to be truthful, for truthfulness leads
to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man may
continue to tell the truth and endeavour to be truthful until he is
recorded with Allaah as a speaker of truth. And beware of lying, for
lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. A man may
continue to tell lies and endeavour to tell lies, until he is recorded
with Allaah as a liar."
Rather people cite the riddle mentioned in the question to refer to
the Jews and Christians. The Jews said that the Christians follow
nothing, and they told the truth but they entered Hell. And the
Christians said that the Jews follow nothing, and they told the truth
but they entered Hell.
They narrate this from the Sufi Abu Yazeed al-Bastaami in the famous
story in which some of the Christians asked him this question and he
gave them this answer, quoting as evidence the verse in which Allah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
"The Jews said that the Christians follow nothing (i.e. are not on the
right religion); and the Christians said that the Jews follow nothing
(i.e. are not on the right religion); though they both recite the
Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the pagans) who know not.
Allaah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that
wherein they have been differing"
[al-Baqarah 2:113].
It may also be said that this applies to the kuffaar of whom Allah
said (interpretation of the meaning):
"And verily, if you ask them: 'Who created the heavens and the earth?
Surely, they will say: 'Allaah (has created them)'"
[al-Zumar 39:38]
and
"Say: 'In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures
of everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no
protector (i.e. if Allaah saves anyone, none can punish or harm him;
and if Allaah punishes or harms anyone, none can save him), if you
know?'
89. They will say: '(All that belongs) to Allaah.' Say: 'How then are
you deceived and turn away from the truth?'"
[al-Mu'minoon 23:88, 89].
And there any many similar examples. Some of the kuffaar may speak the
truth in some of the things they say, but they will enter Hell because
of their kufr, not because of their speaking the truth.
Whatever the case, it is not appropriate to say things such as this,
because some people may understand from it that these people will
enter Hell because of the truth they speak, but this is undoubtedly
false. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allaah will say: 'This is a Day on which the truthful will profit
from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in
Paradise) -- they shall abide therein forever. Allaah is pleased with
them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise)'"
[al-Maa'idah 5:119].-

Dought & clear, - Ruling on bridesmaids

I was just wondering if it is permissible to have brides maids for a
reception in Islam. I am not sure if the practice is cultural or
religious.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible for the bride to have someone to help adorn her and
accompany her, or a female servant who will serve her, in return for a
specified wage paid by the husband or bride or someone else. This was
widespread in ancient times and is still done in some countries. It is
permissible according to sharee'ah, as stated above. The fuqaha'
stated clearly that if it is the woman's custom to have a servant,
then the husband has to bring someone to serve her.
It says inKashshaaf al-Qinaa'(5/463): If the wife needs someone to
serve her, because a woman like her does not serve herself or because
of her high position, and she has no servant, then she is entitled to
a servant because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):"and live
with them honourably" [al-Nisa' 4:19], and because it is something
that is needed all the time. But the servant should only be someone
for whom it is permissible to look at the wife, either a woman or a
relative who is a mahram. End quote.
Having bridesmaids or a servant is not something that belongs to one
particular culture or that has to do with religion; rather it a matter
of custom or tradition, which varies from one society to another, and
may be necessary.
And Allah knows best.-

Dought & clear, - Ruling on eating pickles and bread made with yeast in the dough

Is it permissible to eat fermented foods made at home, such as pickled
cabbage, soy sauce, leavened bread, in order to help the digestion
process?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The general principle with regard to foods is that they are
permissible, and nothing is disallowed except that for which there is
evidence that it is haraam and should not be eaten.
But the problem is the use of yeast in these pickles.
It says inal-Mawsoo'ah al-'Arabiyyah, under the heading Khameerah (yeast):
Yeast is a substance that ferments the dough when making bread. Its
effect is the formation of carbon dioxide which created bubbles that
make the colour of the dough lighter, and makes the dough expand
during baking and rise and increase in size. Yeast is also used to
make beer, nabeedh and other alcoholic drinks. The he yeast that is
used commercially is made from colonies of microscopic single-celled
yeast organisms. Although there are more than 600 kinds of yeast, only
a few of them are used commercially.
Based on that:
If the amount of yeast in these pickles and the like is very little,
and it has dissolved in them, so that it does not have the effect of
causing intoxication or languor, there is nothing wrong with using
yeast in them, and eating these pickles.
But if the yeast has a lasting effect on them, such that if the one
who ate a lot of these pickles would become intoxicated or tired, it
is haraam to use the yeast in them, or to eat anything to which yeast
has been added in this way.
Thus it become clear that pickles made from permitted foods are
permissible. It should be noted that the vinegar which is put with
these products or that is produced by pickling these materials, comes
under the heading of drinks that are originally permissible, and is a
type of food that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) ate and praised, saying, "What a good condiment is vinegar."
[Narrated by Muslim, 2051].
For a more detailed discussion on the ruling on vinegar, please see
the answer to questions no. 106196and 113941.
Secondly:
There is also nothing wrong with eating bread made with yeast. The
yeast (khameerah) that is added to the dough does not come under the
heading of khamr (intoxicant) that is haraam, and does not have any
effect of causing intoxication or languor, especially since cooking it
with fire alters the yeast completely, so that it no longer has any
effect.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
was asked:
How should we respond to the ruling on the yeast that they put in
flour to help leaven it and make it easy to cook, as some people say
that it is khamr and it is not permissible to use it?
He replied:
My response to that is that there is nothing wrong with putting yeast
in the dough for the purpose of leavening it, because this does not
affect it at all. Moreover, I do not think that this yeast would cause
intoxication if a person were to eat it. The basic principle
concerning all foods and drinks and clothing is that they are
permissible, unless it is proven that they are haraam, because Allah,
may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He rose over
(Istawa) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the
All-Knower of everything"
[al-Baqarah 2:29].
So there is nothing wrong with putting yeast in the dough to leaven it.

For children, - First think and then say something:Speak No Evil, Avoid Harmful Talk

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages,
mostly with the working men and women and young college boys and
girls. Near the window seated an old man with his thirty year old son.
As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was
thrilled with the scenery outside.
"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful."
This behaviour from a thirty year old son made the other people feel
strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other
about this thirty year old son. "This person seems to be mad," a
newlywed man whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining. Rain drops fell on the travelers through
the open window. The thirty year old son, filled with joy said to his
father, "See dad, how beautiful the rain is."
The newly married man's wife was irritated with the rain drops
spoiling her new suit.
The husband said to the father, "can't you see its raining you old
man, if your son is not well, then get him soon to a mental asylum and
do not disturb the public henceforth."
The old man hesitated at first and then in a low tone replied, "We are
on the way back from the hospital. My son got discharged this morning.
He was blind from birth. Last week, he got his vision. The rain and
nature are all new to his eyes. Please forgive us for the
inconvenience that we may have caused."
The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the
truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even
us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh
