IMAN WAL INTAAJ FAITH & PRODUCTIVITY

Luqman AbdurRaheem

'
Allahumma baa-rik-lanaa feeRajaba wa Sha'baana wa Bal-lignaa Ramadhaana.' O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Shabaan blessed for us, and let us reach Ramadhan.'


Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Q49:15

The Hadith of Jibreel


Umar Bn al-Khattab, relates: While we were sitting with Allah's Messenger (SAW) a man approached us. He had exceedingly white clothes and exceedingly black hair. No sign of travel could be seen upon him, yet none of us knew him. He sat before the Prophet (saw) placing his knees before his knees and his hands on his thighs and said: "O Muhammad! Tell me about Islam.

The Hadith of Jibreel


Allah's Messenger (saw) replied: "Islam is to bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay charity, to fast the month of Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if you are able to make the journey." He said: "You have spoken the truth." We were startled that he would ask and then confirm it like that. Then he said: "Tell me about Iman."

The Hadith of Jibreel


Allah's Messenger (saw) replied: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and divine decree, both the good and bad of it. He said: "You have spoken the truth. Tell me about excellence in faith.

He replied: "It is to worship Allah as though you see Him, and though you do not see Him, you know that He sees you.
He said: "You have spoken the truth. Tell me about the hour."

The Hadith of Jibreel


Allah's Messenger (saw) replied: "The one being asked knows no more than the one who is asking. He said: "Then tell me about its signs. He replied: "Its signs are that a slave will give birth to her master and that the barefoot, destitute herdsmen shall compete with one another in erecting lofty buildings. Then that man departed and the Prophet (saw) waited for a while. Then he asked me: "O `Umar, do you know who that questioner was? I replied: "Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "That was Jibreel who came to you to teach you your religion." [Sahih Muslim]

Islam and Iman


From the hadith, the meanings of Islam and Iman are clearly defined and operationalized by the Prophet (SAW). Islam is the outward actions that flow from Iman, the inner actions.

Islam is the product flowing from the factory of Iman. All pillars of Islam have implications in our socioeconomic and political life.

Islam and Iman


Allah says: "The believers are only those

who when Allah's name is mentioned their hearts are filled with awe, and when His signs are rehearsed to them, their faith increases and upon their Lord they rely. [Q8:2-3]

Islam and Iman


The Prophet (saw) was asked, "What is Islam? The Prophet (saw) answered, "To submit your heart to Allah and for the people to be safe from your tongue and your hand. Then he was asked: "And which Islam is best?" The Prophet (saw) replied, Iman. Then he was asked: "So what is Iman? The Prophet (saw) replied: "To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His Messengers, and resurrection after death. Then he was asked: "Which deeds are best? The Prophet replied: "Emigration. Then he was asked: "What is emigration. The Prophet replied: "To part with evil. He was then asked: "So which emigration is best? The Prophet (saw) replied: "Striving in Allah's cause."[ Musnad Ahmad]

The Six Articles of Iman


Allah says: Righteousness is of one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the Prophets. [Surah al-Baqarah: 177]. The sixth is Qadar

Ihsan
Allah says: There is no sin upon those who believe and work righteousness for what they have eaten in the past if they now fear Allah, believe, and work righteousness, and then fear Allah and believe, and then fear Allah and work excellence (ihsan), and Allah loves those who work excellence. [Surah al-Maidah: 93].

Faith + Salat= Ihsan

The Hour, Unseen


When the angel Jibreel asked the Prophet (saw) about the Hour, the Prophet (saw) replied: The one being asked knows no more than the one who is asking. This answer shows us how we must deal with the Unseen. The Prophet (saw) made it clear that no one knows about this matter except for Allah. The Hour is part of the knowledge of the Unseen.

Signs of the Hour


The first of these is that a slave will give birth to her master. The second sign mentioned is that barefoot, destitute herdsmen shall compete with one another in erecting lofty buildings.

END
This is Just an admonition.
