PRACTICING ISLAM-IMAN-IHSAN

The indigent one relying on Allah the Exalted-Praise be to Allah for His gracious favor, blessings and peace be upon the Prince of His Prophets and upon his family and his friends. All praise is to Allah, the Lord Of The Creations. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Owner of the Day of Recompense. Who blessed us being the Ummah of His Beloved Rasool Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam. Who sanctified our hearts with the Love and Affection towards His Beloved Rasool Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam. Who blessed us with the most precious treasure of Iman (Faith). Countless Salutations, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Cream of the Creation; Mercy for all Worlds; Seal of the Prophets Sayyiduna wa Mawlana Muhammadur Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam, His Blessed Parents, His entire Family, His Progeny, His Companions and all those who Follow Him!!

Praise be to Allah, for every book must begin with the declaration of His praise, as every speech must start with the mention of His name. The people of bliss will take delight in praising Him [hereafter] in the abode of requital and reward. By His name is every sickness healed, and with it every grief and tribulation is removed. Toward Him hands are raised in earnest entreaty and supplication, in hardship and in ease, in good times and in bad. He is Attentive [Sami’] to all voices, with all their various forms of speech in different languages, and He is Responsive [Mujib] to those who feel the need to appeal [to Him]. Praise be to Him, therefore, for all that is best and finest, and thanks be to Him for all the favors He has bestowed, for all the gifts He has granted, and for the evidence and guidance He has clearly shown. May His blessings be upon His chosen friend [safi] and Messenger [Rasul], Muhammad, through whom He has guided us out of error, and on his family, his companions, his brother Envoys [Mursalun] and the angels brought near [mala’ika muqarrabun], and may He grant them peace. The words of our Supreme Helper [Ghawthuna’l-A’zam], the Mainstay of the Arabs and the non-Arabs [Sanad al-‘Arab wa’l-‘Ajam], the Light of Mankind and the Jinn [Nur ath-Thaqalain], the Axis of East and West [Qutb al-Khafiqain], the Reviver of the Prophetic Example [Muhyi’s-Sunna], Abu Muhammad ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Hasani al-Husaini al-Jilani may Allah the Exalted sanctify his innermost being, and may He pour His gracious blessings in abundance upon those who follow his lofty example.

The compiler has extensively discussed these and several other rulings of the Hanafi muzhab, presented only for the general Muslim public.If anyone thanks and praises anyone else anytime and at any place for any reason, these thanks and praises are all due to Allahu ta’ala Because He is the only One who creates and sends all kinds of blessings and goodness. If He would not remind, create, and give strength, no one could ever do any goodness or harm to anyone else. Only His desires come into existence. No one can do anything against His desire.May our prayers and greetings be unto His beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who is the most beautiful and highest of all human beings in all respects and be unto all of his progeny, relatives, and companions, may Allahu ta’ala be well pleased with them, who spread good morals and knowledge.

Learning Islamic knowledge as much as necessary is an obligatory duty (Fard) for every Muslim. Poor morals are due to maladies/sickness of the spiritual heart. They cause infinite death and destruction of the spiritual heart (Qalb) and the spirit (Ruh). The uncorrupt youngsters who read this will understand and appreciate that their ancestors were healthy persons with good morals. They were also industrious, civilized, and progressive persons. By learning the truth about their ancestors they will not be tricked by the lies and slanders of their enemies. Do learn well the whole and correct Islamic religion and its beautiful ethics brought and dedicated to you for safekeeping by our honorable ancestors. Protect this holy safekeeping (Amanat) with all your might and power against the attacks of our enemies, i.e., those who attack our lives, properties, religion, and ethics .Strive hard by spreading this correct religion everywhere to save all human beings from infinite disasters. Let it be known that our religion orders us to have beautiful morals, mutual love for each other, respect for the elders and compassion for the youngsters, as well as, doing goodness to everyone irrespective of their religion or irreligion.Never forget that Allahu ta’ala is the helper of the righteous people! Let us love and help each other so that Allahu ta’ala would also help us.

Understanding and learning ethics of Islam also requires much time and studying. We can assure the reader that if you read this like a novel, you will not gain anything. Knowing the difficulty involved, we have used simple words while constructing the sentences. When some words did not have corresponding English versions, sometimes, we added simplified explanatory phrases and used them instead. A good strategy might be, reading the chapter once and then coming back and reading it again. Also, to make the subject matter easier for those who are familiar with Arabic, we have included Arabic terms along with their English versions

With due respect where ever is the name of allah is mentioned use subhanuwaataala and for his beloved prophet use sallallahu alahi wassalam ,for sahaba/sahabia use (ra-radiallahu taala anhu /anha), for allah’s beloved friends use rahamatuallaalaih.if any mistakes are there, plz do correct/contact with your nearest ahle sunnat wal jamaat (sunni) mosque for clarification .Aim of this book is to please allah swt and his rasool saws.i’m thankfull to all those people and their articles which made this book a success.i’m just a servant of prophet’s(saws)family(ahle baith).If in any way, I have put anything wrong, it is totally my fault and I ask Allah’s forgiveness for it and also His guidance.

May Allah the Almighty keep us all on the True Path of the Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, and may He flourish the name of Islam due to our behaviour, actions, and deeds. WE ASK ALLAHU TA’ALA TO GIVE US ALL A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HIS DEEN. AMEEN

And on us is not but clear deliverance.(36/17)

Allah and his Rasool (saws) knows best
