Abu Dardaa (ra) reported the Apostle of Allah BE said: “On the Day of Judgement you will be called by your names and your father’s names so give your children good names. v3

As for the unanswered question, what will happen to the illegitimate children who were falsely attributed to the wrong fathers by their mothers? The answer can be found in the above hadith related by Abu Dawud i.e. they will be called by their own names rather than their fathers’ names.

There will always be different opinions about this issue because some hadith scholars graded the hadith of Abu Dawud

He who travels on Jumu’ah day shall have two angels invoking Allah against him, that he should have no one accompanying him on his journey and that he should not accomplish whatever aim and objective he set out to accomplish.

There is no authentic tradition that forbids a Muslim from travelling on Jumu’ah day. Thus, if a Muslim has needs to take care of, there is no sin on him if he travels on Jumu’ah day. This fabricated khabar contradicts an authentic athar in which Umar Ibn al Khattaab (ra) saw a man dressed for a journey. The man then said in the presence of Umar (ra), if today weren’t Friday I would have travelled. Umar (ra) heard him and said: “You may travel because Friday doesn’t prevent anyone from travelling. vila

According to Islamic Jurisprudence Salatul Jumu’ah is not compulsory on a traveller. The traveller also has the choice of fasting or breaking his fast, and to shorten and join his prayers. He may wipe over his socks for three days and nights.

There is another Hadith that says: “Recite Surah YaaSin over your dead”- this khabar was classified weak by AdDaar Qutnee.!'*

However it is permissible to pray salatul Janaazah over a deceased person who is already inside the grave. Standing by the grave of the deceased while praying over him or her is also permissible, but this can lead to shirk.

He who charges a fee for teaching the Qur’an to others, then that will be his only reward in regards to the Qur’an.

The above mentioned fabricated hadith gives the impression that it’s not allowed for a person who teaches others the recitation of the Holy Qur’an to charge a fee for his service. This view is unacceptable because the Islamic worker has needs like everyone else. The Islamic worker is not an angel and thus he or she needs food, clothing, shelter, medicine etc.

Moreover we have an authentic hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari, which contradicts this fabricated khabar. Narrated Sahl Bin Sa’d as-Sa’idi: “While I was sitting among the people in the company of Allah's Apostle #2 a woman stood up and said, O Allah’s Apostle, I have given myself in marriage to you; please give your opinion of me. The Prophet 25 did not give her any reply. She again stood up and said, O Allah's Apostle! I have given myself in marriage to you so please give your opinion of me. The Prophet “325 did not give her any reply. She again stood for the third time and said: I have given myself in marriage to you so please give your opinion of me. So a man stood up and said: O Allah's Apostle! Marry her to me. The Prophet 2% asked him, have you got anything? He said: No. The Prophet 2 said: Go

and search for something, even if it were an iron ring. The man went and searched and then returned saying: I could not find anything not even an iron ring. Then the Prophet 32 said: Do you know something of the Quran by heart? He replied: I know such Surah and such Surah. The Prophet 5 said: Go! I have married you to her for what you know of the Quran by heart i.e. for you to teach hre the Quran. NG

In the above mentioned hadith the Prophet 3 had married a woman to a man who was penniless and could not afford a mahr (dowry). Since the Holy Prophet = married her to him for him to teach her what he knew of the Qur’an, this is clear evidence that it is permissible to charge a fee for teaching others the recitation of the Holy Qur’an. This was the position of the great scholars of Islam: Imam Shafee, Malik, al-Hasan, Ataa, Ishaaq and many more. Imam Nawawi has cited this view in his book Sharh Sahih Muslim'’” and said Al Qaadi Iyaad was also of this opinion due to the above-mentioned Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim. This hadith also proves the permissibility of a woman proposing to a man.

Verily it is the non-Arabic speaking nations that do this (i.e. kissing the hands of their kings) and I Muhammad “2 am nota king. I am but a man from among you.

The above-mentioned fabricated khabar gives the false impression that the practice of kissing the hands of respected people like Shaikhs, parents, teachers etc, is not allowed in Islam. However this practice is allowed in Islam and should not be deemed a bid’ah because there are authentic traditions stating that: some of the companions of the Holy Prophet #5 kissed his hands on a few occasions and he did not object to it.'"*

It is not permissible for a woman to kiss the hand of her Shaikh because when Hind the wife of Abu Sufyaan asked the Holy Prophet “3 why don’t you shake our hands the way you shake hands with the men when they were giving you their Baiah? He replied: “/ don’t shake hands with women.”

The mistake of Prophet David was in his lust.

The explanation of the above hadith is famous in Jewish and Christian circles. Thus they claim that Dawud *5!) saw the body of a woman called Batsheeba as she was taking a bath and he was overwhelmed with her remarkable beauty; so he enquired about her and requested that her husband should be placed on the front line of the battlefield to be killed by the enemies so that he will be able to marry his wife, which he did when her husband died.

The scholars of Islam agree unanimously among themselves that this story is from the Israeeliyaat (i.e. saying of the Jews) and not a Hadith of the Holy Prophet 2%. It is not our creed as Muslims to insult and slander any of the Prophets of Islam whether it be Muhammad 2 or any of the previous Prophets of Allah. It is not befitting of a Prophet to lust much less to cause the death of someone in order to satisfy his own lust. We as Muslims believe that the Prophets of Allah were all infallible. Meaning they did not commit a sin deliberately. Whatever slip they committed was merely a mistake and not a deliberate sin like Musa =! slaying of the Coptic Soldier in Egypt.

Anyone who insults or slanders any of the Prophets of Allah 5% becomes a Kafir and deserves to be killed if he is living in an Islamic sate. The insulter is killed whether he is a Muslim, Christian or Jew because to insult a Prophet is to insult Allah 3%. Anyone who insults Aisha (ra) and accused her of zina even though Allah 3% .has declared her innocent of this charge in Surah Noor verse 17 becomes a kafir and deserves to be killed wherever in the world he might be living.

As for those who insult Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra) or any other Sahaabah they are to be flogged and if they repent they are released from prison; if not they are imprisoned until death overtakes them. '"
