Some Prophetic Teaching Methods

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have in the Sunnah of our Messenger, sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, a good example to follow. He, sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, taught his companions the deen of Allah in the best of ways. We can gain insights into the best teaching methods by examining his life. Here are some examples: Speaking concisely The Prophet spoke in a very easy and understandable manner.  Because of this, his companions were able to memorize many of his teachings. The Prophet’s wives, Aishah, said that he “used to speak so clearly that if somebody wanted to count the number of his words, he could do [...]

Do you truly love Allah?

Do not ruch answer, my dear brother until you review these serious points and balances first because everything has signs. A loving person glorifies his beloved in his heart, do you feel the greatness of Allah (may He be Exalted) in your heart? A loving person is obedient to the one who loves and himself cannot disobey his commands, do you obey Allah and follow His Commands? A loving person always mentions his beloved, do you mention Allah (may He be Exalted) in your heart, with your tongue, and body organs? A loving person loves the speech of his beloved one; [...]

The Proof for the Second Level which is belief in the Writing of the Decrees

Allah, the Most High said: “And I have recorded the numbers of all things in a Clear Book.” (Surah Yaa Seen, 36: 12) Allah, the Most High, said, “Indeed, it is (all) in a Book.” (Surah al-Hajj, 22: 70) He, the Most High, said regarding the debate between Moses and Pharaoh, “He said, ‘What about the earlier generations?’ Moses said, ‘Knowledge of them is with my Lord, in a Book. My Lord neither errs nor does He forget.’” (Surah Ta- Ha, 20: 51-52) Allah, the Most High, said, “And no female conceives or gives birth but with His Knowledge. And no aged man is [...]

The Keys to the Life of the Heart

Ibn ul Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: The keys to the life of the heart lie in reflecting upon the Qur’an, being humble before Allah in secret, and leaving sins. Allah, the Most High, said: “A Book which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its verses, and that men of understanding may take heed.” [Surah Sad (38): 29] So Allah informed us that He sent down this Great Qur’an, blessed in its wording, meaning, commands, prohibitions and regulations. Amongst its blessings is that the one who recites even one word of [...]

Consuming Riba

In the Qur’an, Allah does not declare war on anyone except the people who deal in riba (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) of riba (from now onward), if you are (really) believers. And if you do not do it, then take a message of war from Allah and His Messenger.” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:278-279] This is sufficient to explain the abhorrence of this deed in the sight of Allah, may He be glorified. One may easily discern the extent of devastation, at the individual and the international level, caused by dealing [...]

Envy: it’s Good and Evil

In general, Muslims are among the most fearful of evoking envy of any people in the world, as we know the great dangers and problems caused by it from the Qur'an and Sunnah. In the Middle East, for example, one can walk down any street to see a vast array of amulets, charms, and invocations designed to keep the "evil-eye" at bay. (It goes without saying, there is no basis from the Qur'an or the Sunnah for any of these charms and amulets, May Allah protect us) Envy  comes to  us  when  we  see  something  in  another person that we wish [...]

Tawhid – The Bedrock of Islam

Tawhid is a revolutionary concept and constitutes the essence of the teachings of Islam. It means that there is only one supreme Lord of the universe. He is omnipotent, omnipresent and the sustainer of the world and of mankind. Now can one observe the inexhaustible creativity of nature, its purposefulness, its preservation of that which is morally useful and destruction of that which is socially injurious, and yet fail to draw the conclusion that behind nature there is an all-pervading mind of whose incessant creative activity the processes of nature are but outward manifestations? The stars scattered through infinite space, the vast [...]

Enjoining good and forbidding evil

O servants of Allah, It is a great obligation which Allah imposed on the nation of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as it is the fort of Islam and its great bond. The flags of Shari`ah are raised in a nation and the rulings of Islam spread by the effort of enjoining good and forbidding evil. O Muslims, By this religious duty Allah protected Muslims against the caprices of Satan and the calls of strayers and Allah humiliated the people of sins and seditions. When this religious duty is applied in a nation or in a community, goodness and reform [...]
