Part 5

1. A continuous charity.

2. Knowledge, which the deceased left behind for others to benefit from.

3. A righteous child who makes dua for him."

Since the recitation of the Qur’an wasn’t mentioned by the Prophet “5 we have no right to include it. However, we as Muslims are allowed to fast on behalf of a dead person who owes Allah 3% some days of fasting i.e. an oath which he took before he died. For example if a person said: I will fast three days for Allah 3 if I pass my exams and then he died before this could take place. Or if he owes Allah 3% some days from the Holy month of Ramadhan which he or she missed.

and asking them for things this is haraam i.e. major shirk and it makes the supplicant becomes a kafir. Women are not allowed to visit the graveyards habitually because the Holy Prophet Be has said: “Allah curses women who visit the graveyards (habitually).”*

I am a city of knowledge and Ali is the gate by which you pass to obtain that knowledge.

This fabricated Hadith is famous among the Shi’ites who exaggerate in their love for Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra). They concocted their man-made religion on the foundations of insulting the companions of the Holy Prophet 2% especially Abu Bakr (ra) and Umar (ra). The Holy Prophet 8 said: “Do not insult any of my Sahaabahs because if you should spend as much as Mount Uhud in gold it will never measure up to the sacrifice 9j of the Sahaabahs not even half of it ie. their sacrifice.

The Shi’ites pronounce Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman (ra) as kafirs. They do not realise that when they insult these noble companions they are actually insulting the Prophet because they were his closest companions. Hence to insult them means the Prophet 2 had kafirs for his companions. More dangerous than that, to insult the Sahaabahs is to insult Allah, because this means Allah 5 saw His Messenger

= choosing hypocrites and kafirs for his companions and Allah 3% didn’t send Angel Jibreel “to correct him. So Allah 3% let His Prophet 2 down. Likewise when we assassinate the character of the Sahaabahs we cast doubts on Islam because they were the ones who taught us our Deen.

The reason the Shi’ites are so treacherous to Islam and Muslims is because this movement was started by a Jew of Yemeni origin called Abdullah Ibn Saba. Concerning the Jews Allah 3% said:

“You shall find that those who hate you the Muslims most to be Jews and the polythiest.** (ie. Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Atheist, etc.)

Their (Shiite) claim to love Ali Ibn Abi Talib (ra) is false, if they had Joved him they would have followed him. Ali (ra) gave his bay’ah (oath of allegiance) to all three Caliphs before him. He even married his beloved daughter Umm Kulthum (ra) to Umar (ra)

The companions of the Prophet 32 were humans like us; hence they were not infallible. Infallibility was exclusive to the Prophet 3 Allah 3% said:

Therefore the Prophet “4% was infallible in issues that are connected with the deen. As for the Sahaabahs they were not infallible as this fabricated hadith is suggesting. Ibn Abbaas (ra) is reported to have said on one occasion that donkey meat is halaal. According to Usool ul Fiqh we follow the Sahaabahs whenever one makes a statement and the rest of them received his verdict with acceptance. And if they should differ on an issue we follow the opinion, which is closest to Qur’an and Sunnah. We are obliged to follow the Sunnah of the four rightly

guided Caliphs i.e. Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali (ra). HADITH 12

Diversity among my followers is a mercy from Allah.

Related by Ibn Hazm in Ihkaan 5/64 who said this saying is not a hadith. Another wording for this fabricated hadith goes as follows: Difference of opinion among my followers is a mercy from Allah.

The more we are diverse in our opinions the harder it is for us to unite. The more disunited we are the weaker we become. The weaker we become the easier it is for our enemies to defeat us.

There is absolutely no merit in Muslims having an abundance of differences amongst themselves, especially in regards to their deen. Concerning differences and disagreements Ibn Umar (ra) said: “7 went to Allah’s Messenger S25 in the morning and he heard the voices of two persons who had a argument with each other about a verse. Allah’s Apostle came to us and the signs of anger could be seen on his face. He said: ‘Verily the people before you were destroyed because of

their disagreements about their book'.”**

Differences of opinions in regards to Fiqh issues can be tolerated on a limited scale e.g. there are two ways of calling the Iqaamah. Likewise there are three different ways of praying salatul Janaazah. However differences of opinion in regards to aqeedah issues are intolerable. It’s for this reason that the four great Imams even though they differed among themselves on

certain figh issues, they all shared the same aqeedah.

Narrated Ubaida (ra): “Ali said to the people of Iraq, ‘Judge as you used to judge, for I hate disagreements and I do my best until the people unite as one group, or I die as my companions have died.’”>”

In regards to unity Allah 3% said:

“And be not of those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment.’

Ibn Mas’ood (ra) preferred to pray two rakahs for the noon prayer at Mina, as it was done by the Holy Prophet 2% and Umar (ra) on their Hajj. However he compromised and prayed four rakahs with Uthman (ra) to set an example of unity for the Muslims. Additionally it is not allowed for Muslims to rebel against their Ameer unless he is doing something, which is unislamic. Uthman (ra) prayed four rakahs in order to indicate to the Muslims that the traveller has the choice of praying two rakahs or the complete prayer. Some scholars are of the view that he prayed four rakahs because he intended to settle there and become resident.*! The Holy Prophet #2 has said: Allah will never allow my Ummah to be united upon an error.*

If it weren’t for women Allah would have been worshipped properly.

This fabricated Hadith is repulsive, and it’s against the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood. It enhances male chauvinism, which is a form of kufr. The great contributions made by women towards the spread of Islam are sufficient to refute this Hadith. Thus, the first person to take shahada was a

woman, Khadijah (ra) the wife of the Holy Prophet SS.

Narrated Aisha (ra): “J did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet 2 as much as I did of Khadijah (although) she died (three years) before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise). ”* 7

Khadijah (ra) was given the glad tidings of Paradise by Allah 3% because she was a great source of help for Islam and the Prophet 2%. Hence she believed in him when others rejected him. She stood by him when others abandoned him. She assisted him by spending all her wealth in the path of Allah 3. When Allah 3 sent the Angel Jibreel “=! to reveal the Holy Qur’an to the Prophet 3 in the cave of Hira, the Prophet $25 was overwhelmed with fright and fear because this experience was unprecedented in his life. Thus he rushed home to his wife Khadijah (ra) trembling and said to her, cover me, cover me, which she did. Soon after he described to Khadijah (ra) what took place with him in the cave of Hira
