Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Whenever sexual permissiveness spreads among the people until it becomes declared, infections and killing diseases, as well as illnesses not previously found in their ancestors will spread among them”
(Narrated by Ibn Majah)

World Aids Day is observed today by the non muslims who dedicate this day for raising awareness about the deadly disease of Aids. Aids has killed more than 25 million people and more than 33.2 million people worldwide live with HIV, making AIDS one of the most destructive epidemics in the history of mankind. But just raising awareness about a certain thing is not the solution, but finding the root cause is. The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) warned us about this and it is a clear sign for the whole world that if we move away from the teachings of Islaam than more deady plagues will occur.

In another Hadith which is reported by Malik, the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whenever adultery becomes a widespread phenomena among certain people, death will spread among them.” Islaam blocks all the roots that will lead to the problem of such deadly diseases. Allah says in the Qur’aan : “And come not near to Zina (fornication). Verily, it is a Fahisha (i.e. a great sin) and an evil way.”
(The Holy Qur’aan 17:32)

In the “so called modernization” we have left the teaching of Islaam but can we tihnk that we can get away with anyting, no we cannot! It will only invite the wrath of Allaah, “Verily, the punishment of your Lord is severe.” (The Noble Qur’aan 85:12)

Therefore let us learn from the pain and devastation of AIDS the lesson that the Hudood (limitations) set up by Allaah, the Almighty must be followed strictly.

Doesnt it hurt you that so many Non Muslims are dying daily because of Aids? Have you ever invited them to the Path of Allaah and shown them its benefits?
Please share this Hadith will everyone Non Muslim you can, Jazak’Allaah.

What is Sunnah?

Sunnah according to AL-Mawrid Institute of Islamic Sciences

Literally means well trodden path(Tariqah) in Arabic.

Are those Abrahamic practices and rituals that were adopted and revived (Hajj) by the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), in some cases after modifications (Fatiha in salaah) and additions (Eidayaan), and instituted among his followers as integral part of God’s religion.

Sunnan have been transferred and established by the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), through practical demonstration to his Companions.

From the companions, these practices have been transmitted uninterrupted through successive generations of Muslims with consensus and practical perpetuation to date.

They have reached us through the same mechanism of history. The Qur’an has reached us by verbal (documentary) transmission whilst the Sunnah by practical transmission.

What is Hadith?

Hadith literally means a saying or something new. In Islamic terminology, it is defined as the individual-to-individual narratives ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh) regarding his sayings, actions, expressed or tacit approvals, his life history and personal description.

Life history of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), including his meetings with people, important events in his time e.g. Holy wars as narrated by his followers.

Record of the Prophet Mohammad’s (pbuh) everyday life, rituals and routines, these are those things that he liked but did not authorise their initiation as essential part of religion. These records reveal the Prophet’s (pbuh) excellent example (Uswa Al Hasana) in carrying out the directives of Islam.

Record of answers to questions and explanations given by the Prophet (pbuh) to his followers.

Record of any explanations about commandments in the Qur’an and the Sunnah by the Prophet (pbuh) to his followers

Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “It is not part of [the tradition of] my Ummah [the behaviour of] one who does not honour our elder and show mercy to our youngster and know for our scholar his due right.” [Ahmad & Tabaraani]

Allah’s Apostle (sallallähu alaihi wasallam) said, “Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah’s is the most regular and constant even though it were little.”

[Bukhari Book:76 No:471]

He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. (59:23)

Narrated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet(PBUH) said, “Facilitate things to people (concerning religious matters), and do not make it hard for them and give them good tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam).”  Sahih Bukhari Hadith No: 69

Aisha asked Allah’s Apostle (sallallähu alaihi wasallam) about the plague.
He told me that it was a Punishment sent by Allah on whom he wished, and Allah made it a source of mercy for the believers, for if one in the time of an epidemic plague stays in his country patiently hoping for Allah’s Reward and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, he will get the reward of a martyr.”[Bukhari Book:56 No:680]

The Prophet (sallallähu alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah’s Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day.” [Bukhari Book:64 No:265]

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being overcome by dept and from being overpowered by men (i.e. other people).” (Al-Bukhari, Hadith:6369)

Among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is he who, if entrusted with a Cantar (a great amount of wealth, etc.), will readily pay it back; and among them there is he who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding, because they say: “There is no blame on us to betray and take the properties of the illiterates (Arabs).” But they tell a lie against Allâh while they know it.[Ali-Imran 3:75]

worship Allah as though you see Him, and though you do not see Him, you know that He sees you.” [Sahîh al Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]

‘Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd [رضي الله تعالى عنه] said:

“The Companions of Muhammad [صلى الله عليه وسلم] were the best of this Ummah, the most purest of heart, the least superficial and they had the deepest knowledge. Indeed, they were a people whom Allāh chose to establish His religion and accompany His Prophet. So recognize their virtues, follow in their footsteps and adhere as much as you can to their morals and religion, for they were following true guidance.”[عبد البر في الجامع]

O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”(66:8)
