Welcome to my
blog. In this blog I will be posting various Islamic posts, most of which
I have learnt during a course I have taken up at a weekend class at Azhar
Academy. For more information about the Azhar Academy courses feel free to
e-mail me with questions. Let’s get straight onto the topics.
Hadiths:
A question we always ask ourselves is why we do learn Hadiths? What is
the main purpose behind reading the sayings and actions of our beloved Prophet
(SAW)? Well I can tell you that we learn Hadiths to get closer to
the Prophet (SAW) and learn about his practices and hopefully we ourselves can
act upon his teachings. There is an ayah (verse) in the Holy Qur’an where Allah (SWT)
says, Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so]
Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful." (3:31) This ayah shows us the reward in learning about
the Prophet (SAW) and following his good character, the way we do this is by
reading Hadiths and acting upon it.
Hadiths of the Prophet (SAW) covers everything. Whenever you’re in
depression or need medical help of some sort, or if you just want general guidance then
the authentic Hadiths of the Prophet (SAW) provide the answer. Hadiths are a
guide for Muslims, From A-Z, everything is covered, it's just like a manual guide, for example when you buy a microwave there's a manual guide that directs you with the set-up to get it functioning properly; similarly Hadiths are like a manual guide for our soul directing us to the straight path of Jannah.
What we should take
note on is that the Prophet (SAW) never spoke out of his own desires.
Everything was from Allah (SWT) and he (SAW) spread the message.
-The Qur’an is
specific words to the Prophet (SAW)
-Hadiths are
revelation paraphrased to make Hadiths.
There are many
others ayahs where Allah (SWT) tells us the importance of taking Hadiths into
our lives. The reason I mention this is because there are certain groups who
reject Hadiths such as the Ahlil-Quran, who only take the word of the Qur’an
when Allah clearly says in Surah Al-Hashr (the exile) (Chapter 59) ayah number
7, "And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever
he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah: truly Allah is severe in punishment." This ayah of the Qur’an clearly shows us
that Allah commands us to follow the Prophet (SAW) and accept what he gives us
and abstain from what he disapproves of and the only way we can do that is by
learning Hadiths and acting upon it. The Ahlil Qur’an reject the Qur’an as they
believe that it was something that only a man said but Allah clearly says in
the Qur’an to accept Hadiths which are the saying and actions of the beloved
Prophet (SAW) himself.
And Allah knows best.
I hope that this post has helped you understand the purpose and importance of Hadiths. Thank you for reading, more posts will be up soon In sha Allah (if Allah wills).
As-salaam
mu-'Alaykum (peace be upon you)
