Ethical Advice and Instructions: Surah Ahzab: 28-35

Page 17: I discuss:
Weakness of faith and fear of Allah/Ignorance of the rules of Shari’ah/Unethical resources of
entertainment and amusement
Page 24: Hadith narrated by Aisha RA: I reflect and discover:
It is clear from the Hadith that the mothers of the believers didn’t ask for much. They asked only for
little to come out of the situation mentioned in Hadith.
I explain:
1. Satisfaction with his life, which he chose from this world.
2. Separation and get what they want of adornment.
I expect:
1. Victory and prosperity in the world and the Hereafter.
2. They are like other women and lose this high status.
Page 25: I discuss and identify:
Islam does not prohibit this if it is regulated by the Shariah.
Yes, that's what it should be.
I explain: Effects:
Live happily.
Help, cooperation, and happiness.
Progress and prosperity.
Page 27: I infer:
To be a good example for Muslim women
Page 28: I explain:
Because they were the source ideal for others, and to report the rulings of the Shari'ah to others.
I demonstrate:
Misunderstandings by the sick hearts and people of evil thought
Inclination and deviation of men towards unethical desires and the rampant spread of evil
Page 29: I reflect and classify:
Faith, devotion, patience, fasting and reverence.
Patience
Honesty, charity, and chastity
Page 30:
First: That the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are not like others.
Second: Whoever is in a place of ideal will bear what others cannot afford.
• Prayer • Dissemination of knowledge
• Paying the zakat • Obey Allah and His Messenger
• Honesty with money • Modesty

1
 • The reverence • Fasting

Page 31& 32: I answer by myself:

1. The Prophet’ wives (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are a good example for
others, and that their status with Allah is great.
2. Because they are ideal for others
3. Avoid being soft in speech /Avoid unnecessary joking and laughter/Avoid staring.
4. Good cohabitation between spouses/ imitating the faithful mothers.
5. All Muslim women must do what the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) were ordered and leave what is forbidden to them.
It is not permissible for him to do that because he is rich, and God says: "‫""لينفق ذو سعة من سعته‬To
spend with a capacity of his capacity". Working is permissible for women in need if she follows
Shari’ah rules.

Allah’s Messenger: The seal of Prophets: (Surah Ahzab: 36-48)
Page 112: I expect the motives of adoption:
To fulfil the desire of parenthood.
To bring up the child in a righteous way.
For getting rewards from Allah swt.
Page 120: I analyze the verse:
Generic utterances: Believing men and believing women.
Meaning of (Amaran) ‫أمرًا‬: An order.
Significance of the words of Allah: They have no choice after the order of Allah.
The command in the verse: To answer the call of Allah and His Messenger.

Page 121: I identify:
Losing the identity and lineage.
Loss of rights (after considering them your real children you will inherit them).
The issue of Mahram and non-mahram once they are adults.
Page 122:
I cooperate:
Giving shelter to an orphan.
Nursing a child.
I compare: Sponsoring and adopting and orphan:
Similarity: In both cases we take care of the child.
Differences:
Sponsoring: Taking care without changing name. It’s recommended.
Adopting: Changing the father’s name to the adopted ‘father’. Haram
I summarize:
Theoretically: In the holy verse Allah mentions the command
Practically: When Allah commended the Prophet (pbuh) to marry Zainab, the former wife of Zaid bin
Haritha who was adopted by the Prophet.
Page 123: I give evidence: Verse 40 of Surah Ahzab
Page 128: The negative effects of adoption:
Losing the identity and lineage.
Loss of rights (after considering them your real children you will inherit them).
The issue of Mahram and non-mahram, once they are adult.
Page 129:
First: This verse indicates that Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man either by blood or
by adoption. So, he is permitted to marry Zainab. He is the last of the Prophets.
Second: Prophet’s marriage with Zainab RA
Page 130:
Third: Allah addressed His prophet not to fear the criticism of the people about his marriage, but it
will be more fitting for him to fear Allah.
Shura (Consultation in Islam)
Page 51: I expect:
Exchanging ideas and participation in healthy discussions for community affairs
Cultural programs and championships, dialogues, and interaction
Page 53: I explain:
Respecting and honoring companions’ opinions and teaching them the blessings and benefits of
Shura so that they could follow this practice after him. The Prophet does not speak out of his
desires in religious matters, yet he was a human and could accept anyone’s opinion in matters
related to worldly affairs and strategies.
I find a solution: Page 54:
Correct. She can seek advice from learned and experienced people.
Not correct. No one can seek advice in the matters already approved by SHARIAH. Prayers are
Fardh. What to take advice in it?
Correct. He can take advice in his personal matters or in the matters Sharia has given choices
according to the circumstances.
I form a view: Page 54 & 55:
Shura. It is academic research where he takes others’ opinions. It is not something that shariah
has given specific orders or instructions.
Shura. This is also a kind of survey and not directly related to Shariah’s specific orders.
Shura. This is to collect opinions on matters related to world affairs and strategies.

He used to pray for his enemies: “O Allah, guide my people because they do not know”.
Page 196: I discover:
Treachery and deceit are against mercy.
Page 198: I expect:
Love, stability in marital life and happiness for the whole family.
Page 199: I investigate:
He used to help them in their work/ pay visit to sick even if he didn’t know/ forgive them.
Page 200: I explain:
Prophet SAW is meant.
Description of the extensive eagerness of prophet SAW for the guidance of his people and his
mercifulness for them.
Page 201: I summarize:
Fulfilling the need of humans is necessary but humans must avoid cruelty in this process. Be kind
and avoid torturing animals even psychologically and emotionally.
Page 203: I identify:
Effect of mercy on the person showing mercy: Reward and reimbursement of his action in his old
age
Effect on elderly: Happiness and satisfaction, free from loneliness and fear
I infer:
The family: Disintegration and loss of children in terms of guidance and mercy.

Islam and social networking
Page 268: I draw a comparison:
Old method: Meeting in person/ Biographies

I determine:
It is as old as humans.
I explain:
The whole mankind belongs to one family.
6
Page 271: I discuss:
If mankind restraints to communicate or interact with each other it will be vanished.
I decide and justify:

IMAM BUKHARI
Imam Bukhari was a famous Hadith expert. It has been unanimously agreed that Imam Bukhari’s
work is the most authentic of all the other works in Hadith literature put together. As agreed by
all the scholars, Sahih Al-Bukhari is the most authentic book after the Holy Quran.
His Lineage:
The full name of Imam Bukhari is Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Ibrahim Ibn Al-
Mughirah ibn Bardizyah Al-Jufri Al-Bukhari. His great grandfather, Al-Mughirah, settled in
Bukhara after accepting Islam. He was born on Friday, 13 Shawwal 194 AH (July 21, 810 CE) in
the city of Bukhara (a city in present day Uzbekistan). His father was an Alim (Islamic Scholar)
and learned from number of famous scholars including Imam Malik ibn Anas. His father died
when he was infant, and his mother took on the entire responsibility of bringing him up.
His Pursuit of Knowledge:
Imam Bukhari began studying Hadiths while he was still young. He completed his initial studies,
especially of Hadith, in Bukhara (his birthplace). At the age of 16, he had memorized many books
of famous. Besides memorizing the Hadith and the book of early scholars, he also started
studying biography of all the narrators (Ravi) who take part in a transmission of Hadith, the date
of their birth and death, their place of birth and etc.
At the age of eighteen, Imam Bukhari visited Makkah accompanied by his mother and brother.
After performing the Hajj (pilgrimage), his brother and mother returned to Bukhara, but Imam
Bukhari stayed there for further education. He spent two years in Makkah and learned Hadith
and other religious studies from Islamic Scholars of Makkah. After that, he went to Madinah and
get further education in the field of Hadith, Fiqh and Islamic jurisprudence for four years. After
spending six years in Makkah and Madinah, he left for Basra, Kufa and Baghdad and visited Egypt
and Sham (Syria). He himself said:
"To seek knowledge, I travelled to Egypt and Syria twice, Basra four times, spent six years at the
Hijaz (Makkah & Madinah) and left for Kufa and Baghdad on so many occasions accompanied by
Muhaddithin (Hadith collectors or Hadith Experts).”
Many stories have been told about Imam Bukhari’s struggle in collecting Hadiths. He travelled to
many different places just to gather the precious gems that fell from the lips of Messenger of
Allah (S.A.W.).
His Memory and Intellect:
Imam Bukhari had an extremely strong memory from an early and his memory was considered
to be inhuman. In his early period of acquiring knowledge, he memorized seventy thousand
Hadiths and later in his life, this figure reached three hundred thousand. His brother Rashid bin
Ismail stated that in his childhood:

7
"Imam Bukhari used to go with us to the scholars of Basra to listen to Hadiths. All of us used to
write Hadiths down except Imam Bukhari. After some days, we condemned Imam Bukhari saying
that you had wasted so many days work by not writing down Hadiths. Imam Bukhari asked us to
bring our notes to him. So, we all brought our notes, upon which Imam Bukhari began to read
Hadiths one by one from the top of his head until he narrated to us more than fifteen thousand
Hadiths. Hearing these Hadiths, it seemed that Imam Bukhari was re-teaching us all of the
Hadiths we had noted."
He did not depend on pen and paper as much as he relied on his sharp memory which was a
result of Allah's gift of intelligence and superb memory to him.
There is one remarkable incident took place in Baghdad when Imam Bukhari visited the place.
The people having heard of his many accomplishments, and the attributes which were issued to
him, decided to test him so as to make him prove himself to them. In order to do that they chose
one hundred different Hadiths and changing the testimonials and the text of the Hadiths. The
Hadiths were recited by ten people to Imam Bukhari. When the Hadiths were recited, Imam
Bukhari replied to all-in-one manner, "Not to my knowledge." However, after the completion of
all the Hadiths, he repeated each text and testimonial which had been changed followed by the
correct text and testimonial. Such was the amazing memory of this great Hadith Scholar.
His Attributes and Qualities:
1. Amazing Memory: As mentioned in above point, Imam Bukhari had an amazing memory.
2. Abstinence / Generous: Imam was left with a considerable amount of wealth by his father.
However, due to his generosity, he spent it all in the path of Allah. At the end, he had been left
with no money forcing him to spend his day on one or two almonds.
3. Simple and Humble: He was a simple person. He used to look after his own needs. Despite
being an honorable man, he always kept a little number of servants for himself.
4. Fear of Allah: He was blessed with the highest rank of piety and righteousness. He feared Allah
in everything he did as he was blessed with highest rank of piety and righteousness. He kept
himself away from backbiting and suspicion and always respected people’s rights. He was very
polite, tolerant, and gentle and never got angry when mistreated by others. He always prayed
forgiveness for those who attributed evil to him. If he needed to correct any person, he would
never embarrass him in public.
His teachers:
In his various country trips, Imam Bukhari met with reputable teachers who can be trusted. He
himself said that he had written Hadiths from 1,080 teachers and all of them were experts in
Hadith. Among his teachers some were:
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal
Yahya ibn Maeen
Mohammad ibn Yusuf Al-Firyabi
Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh
His students:
Number of people who had narrated the Hadith from Imam Bukhari is unknown. However as per
some sources, around 90,000 people had heard Hadiths directly from Imam Bukhari. Among the
students of Imam al-Bukhari some were:
1. Muslim bin Hajjaj (famously known as Imam Muslim)
2. Abu Isa Mohammad Al-Tirmidhi (famously known as Imam Al-Tirmidhi)
3. Abu Abd-ur-Raḥman Aḥmad ibn Shuaib Al-Nasai (famously known as Imam Al-Nasai)
4. Abdullah bin Abd-ur-Rahman Al-Darimi
His Writings/Books:
Imam Bukhari has written many books during his life. His work is not only in the discipline of the
Hadith, but also other sciences such as Tafsir, Fiqh, and Tarikh (History).
There is a unique story about compilation of this book. It is said that one night, Imam Bukhari
saw Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) in his dream. He was standing in from of Prophet Mohammad
(S.A.W.), having a fan in his hand and driving away the flies from the Messenger of Allah
(S.A.W.). Imam Bukhari then asked the meaning of the dream from interpreters of dream. They
interpreted the dream that he (Imam Bukhari) will destroy and erode the lies that are included in
8
a number of Hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.). This dream encouraged him to write the
book ‘Al-Jami As-Sahih’ (Sahih Al-Bukhari). Imam Bukhari was very careful in compiling the
Hadith. According to Al-Firbari, one of his students, he heard Imam Bukhari said:
"I compile the book Al-Jami As-Sahih in the Grand Mosque (Majid Al-Haram), Makkah and I did
not include a Hadith except after Istikharah Prayer (guidance prayer) of two rakahs, ask Allah for
help, and after believing that the Hadith is truly authentic.”
Imam Bukhari studied, in details, the lives of narrators, to make sure they were trustworthy and
would not fabricate or change the wording of a Hadith. If he discovered that someone in a chain
openly sinned or was not considered trustworthy, that Hadith was immediately discarded and
not included in his book unless a stronger chain for it existed.
The process of compiling this book was carried out by Imam Bukhari in the two holy cities i-e
Makkah and Madinah and it took him 16 years to compile this book. Although he had
memorized a large number of Hadiths, he only chooses 7,275 Hadiths for this book and there is
no doubt about the authenticity of these Hadiths.
His Banishment from Bukhara:
After many years, Imam Bukhari returned to his hometown Bukhara. People of the city were
extremely happy and greeted him with great zest and zeal. Imam Bukhari established a
Madrassah (school) in the city where he spent a great deal of time teaching with satisfaction.
Owing to his honesty, kindness, and fact that he was trustworthy, Imam Bukhari used to keep
away from the rulers of that time due to the reason that he may incline to say things to please
them.
Once the governor of Bukhara, Khalid bin Ahmed, called Imam Bukhari to his house and asked
Imam to teach his son. Imam Bukhari, in response to the offer, replied:
"I give greater respect to knowledge rather than to people, for it is they who are in need of the
knowledge, and it is they who should seek it."
The governor said:
” If my son was to attend your Madrassah (school), he should not sit with ordinary people’s
children. You (Imam Bukari) would have to teach him separately."
Imam Bukhari answered:
"I cannot stop any person from hearing Hadiths."
Upon hearing this, the governor got angry at him and ordered Imam Bukhari out of Bukhara.
However, he then settled in Khartang Village (today known as Hartang) which is about 30 KM
from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. After this incident and due to some other reasons, caliph of
Baghdad dismissed the governor of Bukhara, Khalid bin Ahmad. He was expelled from his palace
in extreme disgrace and dishonour and then was thrown into prison, where he died after few
days.
His Death:
Expulsion of Imam Bukhari from his homeland caused painful aches inside him. He spent rest of
his days in Khartang, Samarkand. On 1 Shawwal 256 AH (870 CE), Imam Al Bukhari passed away
at the age of 62 years in a Khartang, Samarkand. The grave of Imam Bukhari is in in Khartang,
Samarkand.
Scholars Praising Imam Bukhari:
Al-Hafiz ibn Rajah Al-Hanbali said about Imam Bukhari:
“He (Imam Bukhari) is one of Allah’s signs walking on the Earth.”
Abu Abdullah bin Hammad Al-Marwazi said:
“Muhammad ibn Ismail is the Faqih (Islamic jurist expert in Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic
Law) of this Ummah.”
Abu Bakr Mohammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah said:
“I have never seen underneath the sky one who is more knowledgeable and memorizer of the
Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) than Mohammad ibn Ismail.”
