Ahaadith
for the believers (the non-kafir)
Narrated AbuHurayrah
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon
him) said: The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against
the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind
a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of
Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would
not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. Sahih Muslim
Let us be real about this point
before anything else. This is to alert us to the point that all the dialologues
and trialogues will be fruitless, in the end we will be fighting these kuffar
and if what is happening to the Palestinian people is not enough to alert us to
who they are and the Christians who protect them, we need to rethink what we
have been studying dear Muslims.
Narrated Aisha and Ibn Abbas
On his death-bed Allah's
Apostle put a sheet over his face and when he felt hot, he would remove it from
his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said,
"May Allah's Curse be on the Jews and the Christians for they build places
of worship at the graves of their prophets." (By that) he intended to warn
(the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians) had done. Sahih Bukhaari
He only cursed the disbelievers. The kuffar and insitsted that the Believers
(MUSLIMS) not imitate them in their practices. So many ahaadith show that he
commands us to be opposite of the Christians and Jews.
We should note here as well that
the primary reason Allaah shows any real regard for the Jews and Christians has
nothing to do with what they call themselves and has everything to do with what
HE calls them. He gives them some regard because their predecessors really did
have a book from Allaah and you should look carefully in the Qur'aan to see how
important Allaah's Books are to Him. So they are treated better than other
kuffar, but they are mushrikeen no less.
Narrated Musab
I asked my father, "Was
the Verse: 'Say: (O Muhammad) Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect
of their deeds?'(18.103) revealed regarding Al-Haruriyya?" He said,
"No, but regarding the Jews and the Christians, for the Jews disbelieved
Muhammad and the Christians disbelieved in
Now, dear Muslims, I am going
to highlight a few words in this hadith in the hopes that it will help us.
Inshaa' Allaah
Narrated Abu Said Al Khudri
(in part)
We said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said,
"Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is
clear?" We said, "No." He said, "So you will have no difficulty
in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and
the moon (in a clear sky)." The Prophet then said, "Somebody will
then announce, 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship.' So the
companions of the cross will go with their cross, and the idolators (will go)
with their idols, and the companions of every god (false deities) (will go)
with their god, till there remain those who used to worship Allah, both the
obedient ones and the mischievous ones, and some of the people of the
Scripture. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage. Then it
will be said to the Jews, 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply, 'We
used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You are
liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What do you want (now)?' They
will reply, 'We want You to provide us with water.' Then it will be said to
them 'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell (instead). Then it will be said
to the Christians, 'What did you use to worship?'
They will reply, 'We used to
worship Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said, 'You are liars, for Allah
has neither a wife nor a son. What: do you want (now)?' They will say, 'We want
You to provide us with water.' It will be said to them, 'Drink,' and they will
fall down in Hell (instead).
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle was asked about
the offspring of the pagans. He said, "Allah knows what they would have
done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's
Apostle said, "No child is born but has the Islamic Faith, but its parents
turn it into a Jew or a Christian. It is as you help the animals give birth. Do
you find among their offspring a mutilated one before you mutilate them
yourself?" The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! What do you think
about those (of them) who die young?" The Prophet said, "Allah knows
what they would have done (were they to live)." Sahih Bukhaari.
Narrated Thabit bin Ad Dahhak
(who was one of the companions
who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet underneath the tree
(Al-Hudaibiya)) Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever swears by a religion other
than Islam (i.e. if somebody swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim e.g., a
Jew or a Christian, etc.) in case he is telling a lie, he is really so if his
oath is false, and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing which
he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with anything in this
world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection. And
if somebody curses a believer, then his sin will be as if he murdered him. And
whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is as if he killed
him." Sahih Bukhaari
