Q

What are the three dimensions of Islam in Arabic? What do they mean? Where are they located in the human? What is the name of the science related to each dimension? What happens if we neglect each of the dimensions?

A
  1. Islam. Goodness. Actions of the Body. Fiqh (Islamic Law). If we neglect, we can’t prove our submission to God, and we submit to our ego instead of to Allah. 2. Iman. Truth. Beliefs of the Mind. Aqidah (theology). If we neglect, it becomes a culture instead of a religion. 3. Ihsan. Beauty. Character of the Heart/Soul. Tazkiya/Tasawwuf (virtue). If we neglect, religion becomes dry, rigid, and just a bunch of rules.

Q

What are the correct and incorrect responses when we do something good or bad?

A

When we do something good, we give credit to God. The incorrect response is to give credit to one self and become arrogant. When we do something bad, we blame ourselves. The incorrect response is to blame God or others. Nawawi #24 (final phrase) فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَن إلَّا نَفْسَهُ “So he who finds good let him praise Allah, and he who finds other than that let him blame no one but himself.”

Write a hadith in Arabic & English about actions being based on intentions.

A

Nawawi #1: إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what they intended. Whoever migrates with an intention for Allah and His messenger, the migration will be for the sake of Allah and his Messenger. And whoever migrates for worldly gain or to marry a woman, then his migration will be for the sake of whatever he migrated for.

Nawawi #19: يَا غُلَامِ! إنِّي أُعَلِّمُك كَلِمَاتٍ: احْفَظْ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْك، احْفَظْ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَك، إذَا سَأَلْت فَاسْأَلْ اللَّهَ، وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْت فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاَللَّهِ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوْ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوك بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوك إلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَك، وَإِنْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوك بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَضُرُّوك إلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْك؛ رُفِعَتْ الْأَقْلَامُ، وَجَفَّتْ الصُّحُفُ One day I was riding (a horse/camel) behind the Prophet (S) when he said, ‘Young boy, I will teach you some words. Take care of Allah, and He will take care of you. Take care of Allah, and you shall find Him at your side. If you ask, ask God. If you seek help, seek it from God. Know that if the whole world gathered to help you, they can’t help you except if God had written it for you. And if the whole world gathered to harm you, they can’t harm you except if God had written it against you. The pens have been lifted, and the pages are dry.

A

Nawawi #38 1) Obligations (فرض) 2) Extra Credit Acts (نفل) My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved to Me than the (1) religious duties I have obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with (2) nafll deeds (extra credit) until I Love him.

48
Q

What are the six things that occur when one becomes a Wali (friend of Allah)?

Nawawi #38 When I Love him, I am: (1) his hearing with which he hears, and (2) his sight with which he sees, and (3) his hand with which he grasp, and (4) his foot with which he walks.

Q

Imam Al-Nawawi has 42 hadith in his book of 40 hadith. What is the 42nd hadith about? Why do you think Imam Al-Nawawi may have chosen this as the final hadith?

A

Nawawi #42 This hadith is about how forgiving Allah is! As long as we ask Allah he will forgive us, and won’t even mind! Even if our sins reach the clouds or are nearly as great as the earth, He will still forgive us! This might have been chosen as the final hadith to leave us with hope, and protect us from despair (which is Satan’s weapon).
