Criteria for Determining What is Right Or Wrong in Islam

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-ithnayn. 13th day of Rajab. (Monday, 14th Febuary 2022).

*_Criteria for Determining What is Right Or Wrong in Islam_*. Bismillah. 


Does methodologically sound criteria exist for determining what is correct and what is in error in Islam?, They certainly do. Those criteria are clear and precise, and we shall be discussing some of them today be-iznilLah. 


One:  The Religious Criterion.

This criterion is established upon three sources: 

1. The Qur’รขn. ALLAH says in the Quran: “Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto them (are guilty), for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture. Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.” [Sรปrah Fussilat: 41-42]. Allahu Akbar. 


The Quran is absolutely certain in its authenticity. This is a point upon which all Muslims unanimously agree. As far as what we derive from it of its meanings, this depends on the specific passage and the manner of interpretation. Some verses convey meanings that are absolutely certain so that no alternative interpretation is tenable. Much of the Qur’รขn is of this nature, especially the texts that refer to the essentials of faith and the guiding principles upon which the edifice of Islam is built. Some passages of the Qur’รขn indicate meanings that are conveyed with less certainty and that's where the teachings of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam comes in. When ALLAH commanded us to pray, give zakaat,   perform hajj and fast etc, ALLAH left it open so that mankind can trust in the messenger in explaining the Qur'an. To be continue tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increases us in beneficial knowledge_*. Aameen.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
