hadith

Respected scholars,as-salamu `alaykum. What should a Muslim do with regard to scholarly differences concerning whether a hadith is authentic or unauthentic? Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

ASA,there are two things that I am confused about that I have heard and would like to confirm. 1. Will no woman reach perfection after Maryam (R.A.) and the wife of Pharoah. Someone said that since Fatimah (R.A.) will be the leader of all women in Paradise except Maryam (R.A.) and the wife of Pharoah it shows that no woman will reach perfection. This is nin acoordnace with the hadith that many men have attained perfection but only two women have, tht is, Maryam (R.A.) and the wife of Pharoah. 2. Also is it right to be proud or happy of the male gender because more men will be successful than women on the Day of Judgement.thank you for your time

Salam aleykum. I want to ask this question in order to shed some light on this issue! Elhamdallah, Muslims always have been saying that Qur?an and ahadith show us the Truth in some scientifical issues, as it is the creation. The Muslim Maurice Bucaille has lots of books on this topic. But the other day I read a hadith from Riyadh As Salihin that says: 1854. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took my hand and said, 'Allah created the earth on Saturday and He created the mountains in it on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created disliked things on Tuesday and He created light on Wednesday, and He spread about the animals in it on Thursday. He created Adam after 'Asr on Friday at the end of the creation at the last hour of the day between 'Asr and nightfall." [Muslim]always the Muslims have been argue with Christians and the Bible about the errors that Genesis tell us... So, if this hadiz is Sahih, what can I think?? We have the same error as Genesis?I would really be happy if Shaikh Yusuf Al Qaradawi answer me!!

I am sorry for burdening you with all these questions at one time. Try to answer as many as you can if you think the whole lot is too much.1) what is meant by the hadith "cleanliness is half of faith" ? Can you please explain what aspects of faith does it cover and what sorts of cleanliness, physical and spiritual, does it mean ?2) which twelve leaders does the following hadith from Bukhari refers to Volume 009, Book 089, Hadith Number 329.narated By Jabir bin Samura : I heard the Prophet saying, "There will be twelve Muslim rulers (who will rule all the Islamic world)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish."3) What are our duties towards the members of the Holy Prophet pbuh's family as we are told to observe them in the following hadith from Muslim Book 031, Hadith Number 5920. "...I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah...The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family..."4) I was of the opinion that all children who pass away before reaching the age of puberty will go to heaven. However, the following hadith from Muslim gives a different impression. Please explain. Book 033, Hadith Number 6436. 'Aisha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin nor has he reached the age when one can commit sin. He said: 'Aisha, per adventure, it may be otherwise, because God created for Paradise those who are fit for it while they were yet in their father's loins and created for Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they were yet in their father's loins.5) what is meant by "everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created" in the following hadith from Muslim Book 033, Hadith Number 6400. 'Ali reported that one day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said: There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: Allah's Messenger, then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny? Thereupon he said: No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse: "Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (xcii. 5-10).6) Muslims are asked not to cross boundaries in supplications and cleanliness. What are those boundaries ? 7) If I have a fever and someone asks me 'how are you?', then how am I supposed to answer him. Some one told me that if someone enquires about my health I am supposed to tell him my real health conditions. And I know that in all circumstances I have to thank God for whatever I have in whatever condition I am in. Given this, how should I phrase my reply that it becomes an appropriate answer ?JazhakAllah khair for your services Shahbaz

As salaamu alaykum,Firstly Jaza kallah khair for the work that you do.My question is regarding a hadeeth. I don't remember the exact wording but the hadeeth refers to muslims who will always be on the straight path. Then it gives characteristics about this group. My question is what are the characteristics of this group and does it refer to a group or can it be all individuals. Please explain this hadeeth.Jaza kallahu khayran

As-salamu `alaykum. The third argument that the Christian group posed, which cause a great deal of confusion among Muslims in California, is related to the following Prophetic hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “When any of you wakes up from his sleep and makes ablution, let him clean his nose three times, because Satan stays at night at the upper part of his nose.” Here, the author as well as the Christian group pose this question: Does Satan stay in your nose overnight? Thus, we would like Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi to refute such claims and attacks and to shed some light on the hadith. Could you please forward this question to him?

Scholars of Islam, as-Salamu `alaykum. There is a hadith that reads “Allah will raise for this Ummah at the end of every hundred years (one) who will renovate its religion for it.” Who or what does “(one) who” in the hadith refer to? Should Muslims keep waiting for the one who will renovate their religion for them at the beginning and end of each Hijri century?

asalamu alaikum, my dear brothers and sisters in islam. i    need an information about anti-hadith movement, or what are the anti- hadith movements?thank you...

Could you please tell me the Hadiths narrated concerning Al-Mahdi and their significance?

Allah, the Most High says: "I wage war against him who is hostile to a devout servant of Mine. My servant approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My servant continues to draw nearer to Me by performing voluntary actions until I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him." (Reported by Al-Bukhari) I am rather confused about the following, "I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks." My question is, how can Allah be our hearing or sight?

As-Salamu `alaykam. I know that the Qur'an came from Allah and there is no dispute about that. My question is about hadith. I was talking to a recent revert brother and he was talking to me about the book, The Bible, the Qur’an and the Science by Dr. Maurice Bucaille. The author stated that the Qur'an has irrefutable scientific evidence and that all the scientific facts in the Qur'an agree with science but that many hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) contradicted science. Please could you clarify how hadiths contradict science?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Is the hadith which reads, “You have returned from the minor Jihad to the major Jihad” authentic? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. What is the difference between a Hadith Qudsi and Hadith Nabaw i? Also what is the Difference between Hadith Qudsi and the Qur'an? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-Salamu `Alaykum! We notice that Abu Hurayrah narrated a number of “women-hating hadith”. Was this man reliable? We know that several prominent Companions, including `Umar ibn Khattab, questioned his honesty and truthfulness. `A’ishah, the Mother of the Believers, showed objection to many of the anti-woman hadith narrated by this man. What do the scholars of our time think about him? Thank you!

What is the meaning of the Hadith: "Your in-law is death”? Can my brother stay with my family in the same house? (My wife wears Hijab.)

Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. What is the value of a weak hadith? Is it appropriate to quote a weak hadith to sup port a religious opinion or matter? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. What do you think about the group of people who reject the authority of Sunnah and claim Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sent only to deliver the Qur'an? Also they say Allah promised to protect only the Qur'an and not the Sunnah or Hadith. In other words, why do we have to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and not just follow the Qur'an? Jazakum Allah khayran.

I often hear Hadiths which seem to be very strange. How do I deal with them?

Dear scholars, firstly, I'd like you to enlighten me on the issue of the Unseen, which relates to Divine secrets that are not revealed to anyone, and whether it's possible to fix the exact Day of Judgment.Secondly, I have heard about certain Hadith(s) predicting that certain bizarre and tumultuous events will occur in a month of Ramadan and will cover the rest of the year. Would you please furnish me with a through answer regarding these issues while supporting your words with evidence from the Qur’an and the Sunnah?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum! I have a couple of questions. Hopefully you can answer them for me. Are the hadiths in Sahih Al-Bukhari supposed to be 100 percent authentic? And what hadiths do the Shiites follow? Because the characteristics of the way the Shiites pray are not in the Sahih Al-Bukhari! Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-Salamu `alaykum. My question is regarding a hadith I received in my e-mail. I just want to know if it is authentic before I pass it on. The hadith is as follows: The one who disdains the prayers will receive 15 punishments from Allah, 6 punishments in this lifetime, 3 while dying, 3 in the grave, and 3 on the Day of Judgment. The 6 punishments of life are1. Allah takes away blessings from his age (makes his life misfortunate). 2. Allah does not accept his du`aa’. 3. Allah erases the features of good people from his face. 4. He will be detested by all creatures on earth. 5. Allah does not award him for his good deeds. 6. He will not be included in the du`aa’ of good people. The 3 punishments while dying are1. He dies humiliated. 2. He dies hungry. 3. He dies thirsty. Even if he drinks the water of all the seas he will still be thirsty. The 3 punishments in the grave are1. Allah tightens his grave until his ribs come over each other.2. Allah pours on him fire with embers. 3. Allah sets on him a snake called "the brave", "the bold" which hits him from morning until afternoon for leaving Fajr Prayer, from the afternoon until `Asr for leaving Zhuhr Prayer and so on. With each strike he sinks 70 yards under the ground. The 3 punishments on the Day of Judgment are1. Allah sends who would accompany him to hell pulling him on the face. 2. Allah gives him an angry look that makes the flesh of his face fall down. 3. Allah judges him strictly and orders him to be thrown in hell.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I want to ask you about the meaning of the following hadith: "Al ‘arwaahu junoodun mujannadah" and thank you very much.
