Introduction

نــحمده ونستعينه من يهــده هللا فال إن الــحمد لل

مـضل له ومن يـضلل فل هادي له وأشــهـد أن ل إله ل

دا عـبد ا هللا وحده ل شريك له و أن مـحم ه ورسوله أم

بعد “Indeed all praise for Allah, We praise Him as He deserves to be praised, and we seek His Aid. Whoever Allah Guides, he cannot go astray. And whoever He leads astray, who can guide him. And I bear witness that there is no Deity worthy of Worship in Truth except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave and Messenger of Allah. And thereafter:

فإن خـير الـحديث كـتاب هللا و خـير الــهـدى هــدى

د وشـر المور مـحـدثاتـهـا و كـل بدعة ضــللة مـحـم For Indeed the best of narration is the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance. It is a great Blessing that Allah has blessed this Nation of Muhammad with the best of guidance in all of their affairs, whether it is in how to worship their Lord the Creator, The Fashioner and The Giver of Sustenance, The King of all Kings, or in how to deal in the manner that is best suiting to the humanity, whether they are your foes or your companions from amongst the whole Creation.


Indeed Islaam has not left a stone unturned in matters that will bring us benefit or harm in this world and the Hereafter. To the point that (Translation):

“He left his ummah (nation) on a pure and clear path, whose night is like its day and none deviates from it except one who is destroyed. He explained (in this clear path) everything which the ummah is in need of in all of its affairs (to such an extent) that A man from among the mushrikoon (pagans) said to Salmaan al-Farsee (Translation): "Your Messenger teaches you (so much), even toilet manners." So Salmaan replied (Translation): "Yes! He has also forbidden us to face the qiblah (direction of prayer) while passing urine or excrement or that we clean ourselves with less than three stones, or that we clean ourselves with the right hand or that we clean ourselves with dung or bones." [Narrated in Sunan Abu Dawud / Hadeeth – 7 – and also in Saheeh

Muslim / Hadeeth - 262]

This treatise “The significance of Perfume in Islam and to The Humanity in

General & The Prophet Muhammad and His Connection to Perfumes” is a

reality of the fact that even thou perfume is a thing, that is an extension of our attire, but we see how Islaam has guided us and shown its significance in our lives, whether we are alive in this world or we dwell in Paradise (may Allah make us from amongst them) or we are in a state of wakefulness or in a state of sleep. And all of this was demonstrated to us in the manners of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), who was sent as a mercy to the creation and not as a punisher.


Allah, The Ever-Merciful says in the Mighty Qur’aan (Translation): “And We have not sent you (O Muhammad), except as a Mercy

to the worlds”

[Qur’aan /Surah Al-Anbiyah 21 / Verse 107]

Indeed Islaam is a source that connects our souls, minds and body to the One that deserves to be Honoured, and Obeyed in all spheres of our life. You will come to realise, God Willing that it is a blessing, Allah has given us the sense of smell and taste, by which we can detect what is good and harmful for us, and what is desired and undesired, and what is liked and what is disliked.

“How many sold their souls for her, because of her delightful

aroma”

“How many were turned on their heels because of her elegant perfume aroma”

“How many performed deeds, only by knowing the Greatness of

her adorable Aroma”

“And how many souls grieve after coming to know that her Fragrance was only a deceiving plot, by which she seduced him”

“And how many find delight in her because of the Aroma within

her”

“For indeed looks, smells and tastes are deceiving to the soul that is dead”


“Don’t blame me, for my seduction, you were beguiled by my beauty and charm, you followed my trail of Aroma, by which you

gained your destination”

“So Praise Allah if you attained the Bliss and blame no one except yourself, if you have not reached the Bliss”

“Keep on trying, for there is still today but don’t know if tomorrow

will come, yesterday is gone never to return” How amazing is today, from the amazing of affairs, that we have come to love and like those things that are the opposite to reality. And we seek refuge with Allaah alone from the evil of our souls and the evil of our actions. For we live in a time where the Truth has become falsehood and falsehood has become the truth. Where the one eyed man is the king in the land of the blind. Where the general people cannot distinguish the right from wrong and following of the caprice is in abundance, to the point, a time will come, when people will have illegal sexual intercourse like animals. There will be women dressed but in reality they are naked, to the point that you can describe every intricate parts of her body, they are seduced and seducing others. So beware! O men and women, for no nation is afflicted with calamity for no other reason than the spread of illegal sexual intercourse, which violates the rights and honour of other mothers and fathers in regards to their children. “How I had high aspiration for you, but I forgot that there is always a wolf in opposition to you, if you are not seduced by him, then he

will take the form of scorpions, waiting in anticipation that you may fall in to his traps, all the while I was looking over the snake”


So that been said I hope and ask Allaah alone, The Lord of all Bounties that He makes this treatise for seeking His Pleasure alone and that He brings benefit to the one who reads it and spreads it and to remove the covering of the one that may look for defects, so as to find guidance. O Allaah! How many have been guided by your light, while they were trying to put out Your light, Indeed You are Best of those Who give guidance and knows Best whom to Guide and whom to mislead and none is misled except that he went in opposition to You O Allaah.

Written by Abu Dawud Juned Ibn ‘Abdul Dhahir, the one in need of the Mercy of His Lord, The King of all Kings, The One, The Mighty, The Irresistible, The Al-Conquering, Allaah! And our end call is, All Praise is for Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. Completed on the: 13th of April 2015 after Salatul Fajr. Jumadu Al-Ahkhier 1436


بســم هللا الرحمن الرحيــــــــمThe Significance of Perfume in Islaam and To the

Humanity in General Narrated from Jaabir (Translation), that the Messenger of Allaah ,forbade that one should eat onion and garlic صلى هللا عليه وسلـمbut when we were overtaken by the like to eat them, we eat from them. He صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said, ‘Whoever eat from this tree of foul smelling, he should not come near to our masjid (mosque), for Indeed the Angels are hurt by that which hurts the Human.’

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 3008]

We went on till we came to Jabir Ibn ‘Abdillaah in the Masjid (Mosque) and he was busy in observing prayer in a single garment which he had joined its two ends. I made my way through the people till I sat between him and the Qiblah and I said (Translation): “May Allaah have Mercy on you. Do you observe prayer in one single garment on your body whereas your mantle is lying at your side? He pointed with his hand towards my chest just like this and he separated his fingers and bent them in the shape of a bow, and he said: ‘I thought that a fool like you should come to me so that he should see me as I do and he should then do like it. (Muhammad) The Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم came to us in this very Masjid and he had in his hand the twig of the palm-tree and he saw sputum towards the Qiblah (direction in which the Muslims prays towards Mecca) of the Masjid and he erased it with


the help of the twig. He then came to us and said: ‘Who amongst you likes that Allaah should turn His Face away from him? We were afraid. He then said it again: ‘Who amongst you like that Allaah should turn His Face away from him? We were afraid. He said it again: ‘Who amongst you like that Allaah should turn His Face away from him? We said: ‘None of us would like that O Messenger of Allaah.’ He said: ‘If one from amongst you stands for prayer, then know that Allaah the Blessed and Exalted is facing him, so let him not spit in front of him, nor to his right, but he should spit on his left side beneath his foot and if he is impelled to do so all of a sudden in spite of himself, he should then spit in his clothes and fold it in some part of it.’ Then he said: ‘Bring me some fragrance’ a young man who belonged to our family stood up, went and brought perfume oil in his palm, which the Messenger of Allaah took and applied it to the end of that twig and then touched the place where there had been sputum.” Jabir said (Translation): ‘This is the etiquettes of the Masajid (Mosques)”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 3008] ‘Ahyishah narrated (Translation), I heard (Muhammad) Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم saying: “The (system) of night and day would not end until the people have taken to the worship of Lat and ‘Uzza. I said ‘O Messenger of Allaah, Didn’t Allaah reveal: “He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the Right Guidance, and the True Religion, so that He may cause it to prevail over all other religions, through the polytheists are averse to it”

[Surah Tawbah 9 /Verse 33]


That it implies this promise is going to be fulfilled. Thereupon he said, ‘Indeed it would come out to be like that, as Allaah wills. Thereafter Allah would send a sweet smelling fragrant wind by which everyone who has even a mustard grain of faith in Him would die and those will be left who has no goodness in them, they would revert to the religion of their forefathers.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2907]

It is narrated by An-Nawwas Ibn Sam’an in a long Hadeeth about the Ad-Dajjal (Anti-Christ) and the Descending of ‘Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) , that Muhammad the Messenger of Allaah

لى هللا عليه وسلـمص said (Translation): “…Allah would send a pleasant fragrant aroma wind which would soothe the people even from under their armpit, and would take the soul of every Believer (meaning those with strong faith) and Muslim (meaning who has submitted to the Will of Allaah but not yet as strong as the Believer). And there would remain on the earth evil people, and they would commit adultery and fornication like animals, then the Hour (End of the world) will come up on them.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2937] Abu Sa’eed narrated that Ibn Sayyad asked the Prophet (Muhammad) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم ‘What about the earth of Paradise? He replied (Translation):

‘It is of fine clear white Musk that is special’

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2928 /93]


Narrated from Anas Ibn Malik, that (Muhammad) Messenger of Allaah عليه وسلـمصلى هللا said (Translation): “Indeed In Paradise there is a market, you will come there every Jumu’ah (Friday Congregation), there will be sent a northern wind, which you will like the fragrant smell of it, which will scatter on your faces and your clothing and that will increase you in beauty and charm, and then they will return to their family, after having increased in beauty and charm, and their family would say: ‘By Allah! You have increased in beauty and charm after leaving us’, and they would say: ‘By Allaah! You have also increased in beauty and charm after we’ve left you’.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2833] Hammam Ibn Munabbih said, this is what are the Hadeeth (narrations) Abu Hurayrah narrated from (Muhammad) the Messenger Of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم he narrated this Hadeeth from amongst them, that the Messenger of Allaah صلى

:said (Translation) هللا عليه وسلـم “The first group to pass in to Paradise, their appearance would be the appearance of the moon in its brightest nights. They would neither spit nor suffer from catarrh, and nor will have the need to go to the toilet. And their utensils and their combs will be of gold and silver. And the fuel of their braziers will be of Aloes and their sweat will be of Musk. And every one of you would have two spouses, so beautiful that the marrow of their shanks would be visible through their flesh. There would be no differences amongst them and no enmity; their hearts would be like one heart, glorifying Allaah morning and evening.”

[Narrated In Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2834 /17]


In another narration is it reported from Abu Hurayrah that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaahصلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation): “The first group to pass in to Paradise from my Nation, there appearance would be like the moon in the brightest of nights. Then after them to pass in to Paradise would be like the brightest star in the sky that glitters, then thereafter to pass by would be like this according to their ranks. They will neither have the need to excrete nor pass urine, nor will they suffer from catarrh, nor will they spit. Their combs would be made of gold, and their fuel of their braziers will be of Aloes wood and their sweat will be of Musk. Their form will be of the form of one man and their height will be of their father Adam, sixty cubits.”

[Narrated In Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2834 / 16]

Abu Hurayrah narrated that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation): “Two types of people are from the dwellers of the Fire (Hell), people possessing whips like the tail of the cow; with it they beat the people. And those women that are dressed but in reality they are naked (these are prophecy that have been fulfilled as you see today, how some of the women dress, even thou they have clothes on, you can see or describe to details the figure of their body), they are seduced and seduce others, with their hair up high like humps. They would not enter Paradise nor will they smell its Fragrance, and indeed its Fragrances can be smelt or perceived from the distance of such and such (meaning from very far).”

[Narrated Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2857 / 52]


Abu Hurayrah narrated that Prophet (Muhammad) :said (Translation) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم “Whoever kills a person who has a pledge, who is a person that is non-Muslim a protection from Allaah and His Messenger of safety, will not smell, the Fragrance of Paradise, even thou the Fragrance can be detected from the distance of seventy years.” [Narrated in Ibn Majah / Hadeeth 2687 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-Uddin al-Albaani]

‘Abdullah Ibn Shaqiq narrated from Abu Hurayrah said (Translation): “When the soul of the Believer is taken out of his body, it is received by two Angels that take it up (to the heavens). Hammad (one of the narrators) said (Translation): ‘It leaves with a sweet Fragrant, like the Fragrant of Musk’. He said (Translation): And the dwellers of the sky says, ‘Soul that is good has come from the direction of the earth, May Allaah mention it with good and also the body that it resides in. And it is taken to its Lord, The Exalted and The Majestic. Then it is said (Translation),‘Take it to its end place of rest (the earth). Then he said (Translation): ‘And indeed if it is a disbeliever’s soul that is taken – Here Hammad said, ‘it leaves with a foul smell and with curse upon it’ – The dweller of the sky says, ‘Soul that is foul has come from the direction of the earth. Then it is said, ‘Take it to its end place of rest’. Abu Hurayrah said (Translation), the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا

put a cloth which was with him upon his nose while عليه وسلـم


making a mention of the soul of a non-believer (because of the foul smell that will emanate from it).

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth - 2872 /75] Anas narrated from (Muhammad) the Prophet of Allaah صلى هللا عليه

:having said (Translation) وسلـم “A single endeavour (fighting) in Allaah Cause in the afternoon or the forenoon is better than the whole of the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise equal to the size of a whip is better than the whole world and whatever is in it. And if a woman from amongst the women of Paradise was to appear upon the earth, she would fill the horizon with light from the beauty of her charm and her beautiful Fragrant Aroma. And her head scarf (covering) is better than the whole world and whatever is in it.”

[Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare / Hadeeth - 6568] ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr narrated that (Muhammad) the Prophet :said (Translation) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم “My Fountain is a month’s journey in distance, its water is whiter then milk, and its smell is better than that of Misk, and its drinking cups are as numerous as the stars in the sky, whoever drinks from it, will not get thirsty ever again.”

[Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare / Hadeeth - 6579]


Anas Ibn Malik narrated that (Muhammad) the Prophet صلى هللا عليه

:said (Translation) وسلـم “While I was walking in Paradise, I saw a river, upon the banks of it there were tents made of hollow pearl. I said: ‘What is this O Jibreel (Angel Gabriel)?’ He said: ‘This is The Kawthar (River in Paradise for Prophet Muhammad)’, which your Lord has bestowed upon you. Then know that its earth is of perfume, which is of the best Musk.”


Abi Hurayrah narrated from (Muhammad) the Prophet صلى هللا عليه

:that he said (Translation) وسلـم “Every deeds that the son of Adam does is for himself except Fasting (in Ramadhan), which is for Me and I shall compensate him for it. The breath of the fasting person is more beloved to Allaah then the smell of Musk.”

[Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare / Hadeeth - 5927] Abi Hurayrah narrated from (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم that he said (Translation): “By Allaah, my soul that is in His Hands! One of you is not wounded in the Cause of Allaah, and Allaah knows best, who has been wounded in His Cause, will come on the Day of Judgement, with his wound the colour of blood, and the smell, will be the smell of Musk.”



Anas narrated that (Translation): “My uncle Anas Ibn an-Nadr was absent from the battle of Badr, he said (Translation): ‘O Messenger of Allaah! I was absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. Indeed if Allaah lets me to witness another battle against the pagans, Allaah will see how courageously I will fight. On the day of the battle of Uhud when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said: ‘O Allaah! I apologize to you for what these have done (meaning his companions), and I free myself from what these pagans have done. Then he proceeded towards Sa’d Ibn Mu’adh, and said (Translation), ‘O Sa’d Ibn Mu’adh! Paradise by the Lord of an-Nadr, Indeed I smell its Fragrance coming from ahead of Uhud (this is a name of a mountain in Madina). Sa’d said (Translation): ‘O Messenger of Allaah! I cannot archive what he has archived.’ Anas said; ‘We found him with more than eighty wounds made by swords, spears and arrows on his body, he was dead and his body was mutilated amongst the bodies of the pagans and none of us except his sister could recognize him by his fingers.’ Anas said; ‘we were sure and of no doubt, that indeed this Verse was revealed concerning him and his likes (Translation): “Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allaah’ to the end of the Verse.’”

[Surah Ahzab /Verse 23] [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare / Hadeeth - 2805]


Did you know that there is sweetness to faith and anything that is sweet the soul Finds delight in its sweetness like the taste of oranges along with it nice Aroma, which if one has the following three characteristics would taste its sweetness, as it is narrated by Anas from the Prophet (Muhammad) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم that he said (Translation): “Three, whoever has them in him, would taste the sweetness of faith. Whoever loves Allaah and His Messenger more then everything. And a person does not love someone except that he loves that person for the sake of Allaah. And whoever hates to revert back to disbelief, just as he would hate to be thrown in to the Fire of Hell.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Book of Faith / Hadeeth - 43-67] Anas narrated (Translation): “I have not touched any silk or cloth that was softer then the palm of the Prophet (Muhammad) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم and I have not smelt a better fragrance ever or ever known, then the fragrance that emanated from the sweat of the Prophet (Muhammad).”



Al-Haarith al-Asha’ari narrated that the prophet (Muhammad) :said (Translation) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم “Allah ordered (the Prophet) Yahya Ibn Zakariyah (John son of Zakariyah) to do five things and to pass the order on to the Children of Israel so that they would do them too. Yahya was a little slow to pass on those commands, so ‘Esaa (Jesus) said to him (Translation), ‘Either you command them or I will.’ Yahya replied (Translation), ‘I fear if you command them first that I might be tortured or destroyed.’ Yahya then gathered the people in Baytil Maqdis (Jerusalem) until the masjid (mosque) was full, and the people had to sit on the balconies. He said (Translation): ‘Allaah has ordered me to act upon five commands and to order you to act upon them. 1st: Is to worship Allaah alone and to associate no one with Him (in your worship). The similitude of the one who associates others with Allaah is like a man who bought a slave with his money and paid with gold and silver. The man then said to the servant, ‘this is my estate, and this is the land that I want you to cultivate. Work it and pay me what is due to me’. However the slave paid the earnings to someone other than his master. Would any of you be pleased with such a slave? 2nd: Allaah commanded you to pray, when you pray you should not look around, because Allaah is looking at His slave and Facing him as long as he is not looking in a different direction. 3rd: And I command you with fasting, and Indeed the similitude is the example of a man in a mob carrying a bag that has Musk in it. Everyone around him likes the smell of the Musk. And Indeed the smell of the fasting person is better with Allaah than the smell of Musk.


4th: And I order you to give charity. And indeed the similitude of this, is the example of a man who was captured by the enemy, they chain his hands up to his neck and were set to execute him. He said to them that he would pay them anything as a ransom. They took the money and freed him. 5th: And order you to remember Allah. And indeed this is similar to the example of a man who was chased by the enemy until he reached a fortified fortress and sheltered himself in it. Similarly like this the slave (of Allaah) cannot protect himself from the shaytaan (devil) except by the Remembrance of Allaah. The Prophet (Muhammad) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم further said (Translation), ‘I order you with five; Allaah has ordered me with them: 1st: Hear and obey (the rulers in that which they order you with obedience to Allah and there is no hearing and obeying in disobedience to Allah). 2nd: To perform Jihad (means fighting or striving to overcome one’s own caprice that leads you to disobedience to Allaah, to fight against those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger). 3rd: To migrate to the land of the Muslims 4th: And to stick to the main body of the Muslims 5th: He who breaks of from the main body of the Muslims by a hands span has taken off from his neck the collar of Islaam, except if he returns.


And whoever calls with the call of Jaahileeyah (Days of Ignorance), then indeed he is from the pebbles of the Hell-Fire. A man said (Translation), ‘O Messenger of Allaah! Even if he prays and fasts? He said (Translation), ‘Even if he prays and fasts. So let your call be to Allaah, for He has called you Muslim (one submitted to the Will of Allaah), Believer (the one who is strong in faith with certainty), worshippers of Allaah.

[Narrated in Sunan at-Tirmidhi / Hadeeth - 2863 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh (meaning that which is authentically narrated from the Prophet Muhammad) by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-uddin al-Albaani] Abu Musa al-Asha’ari narrated that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation): “The similitude of a Believer that reads the Quran is like Atrunja (a citrus Fruit, like Oranges), it has a very nice fragrant and tastes good. And the similitude of the Believer that does not read the Quran is like a date-fruit, it has no fragrant but it taste sweet. And the similitude of the Hypocrite that reads the Quran is like basil, it has a good fragrant but it is bitter. And the similitude of the Hypocrite that does not read the Quran is like a colocynth, it has a bad fragrant and it is bitter.” [Narrated in Sunan at-Tirmidhi / Hadeeth - 2865 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-uddin al-Albaani]


Abu Hurayrah narrated that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم (Translation) was sending a delegation of many people. He asked each one to recite what they had memorized of the Quran. Each recited what he knew, and then the youngest one of them approached and was asked, ‘What have you memorized of the Quran?’ He said (Translation), ‘I have so and so surah and surah Al-Baqarah’ He said (Translation), ‘you have memorized surah Al-Baqarah?’ he said, ‘Yes’. He said (Translation), ‘Go you are their leader. Then a respected man from amongst them said; ‘By Allaah! Nothing prevented me from memorizing and learning surah Al-Baqarah except that I feared I would not be able to carry out its commands. The Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا

:said (Translation) عليه وسلـم “Learn /Study the Quran and recite it, for indeed the similitude of the Quran to the one who learns it and recites it and stands with it (in prayer) is that of a sac filled with Musk, its smell fills up the whole place with it fragrance. And the similitude of the one who learns it and sleeps with it is like a sac sealed with musk in it.” [Narrated in Sunan at-Tirmidhi / Hadeeth - 2876 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Da’eef (meaning this narration is not authentically narrated from the Prophet Muhammad. It is only used here as an extension to the rest of the authentic narrations) by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-uddin al-Albaani] Anas narrated that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا

:said (Translation) عليه وسلـم “The similitude of the Believer who reads the Quran is the similitude of a citrus fruit (like an orange), the Fragrant Aroma of it is good and it tastes good. And the similitude of the Believer who does not read the Quran is the similitude of the date fruit, which is sweet in taste but has no smell.


And the similitude of the wicked person that does not read the Quran is that of the colocynth which tastes bitter and which has no smell. And the similitude of sitting in the company of the righteous is that of the Musk Seller, Even thou he might not give you some (for free) but the least is that you will receive the nice Smell from him. And the similitude of sitting with the unrighteous is that of the Blacksmith with his bellows, Even thou you might not get the black soot on you, the least is that you would be affected by the smoke.” [Narrated in Sunan Abu Dawud / Hadeeth - 2876 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-uddin al-Albaani] Abu Hurayrah narrated that (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation): “Whoever learns knowledge, which is not sought for seeking the Face of Allaah, The Exalted and The Glorified, but that he learns it in order to gain some worldly benefits thereby, will not smell the Fragrant Aroma of Paradise on the Day of Judgement.” [Narrated in Sunan Abu Dawud / Hadeeth - 3664 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-uddin al-Albaani] ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn al-‘As, said, the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا

,said (Translation) عليه وسلـم “My Hawd (Fountain) is so large that is takes a month’s journey to cross. All its sides are equal in length. And its water is whiter than sliver (and in another transmission it is narrated, ‘It’s water is whiter than milk), and the fragrant of its perfume is of Musk.


And its drinking vessels are numerous as the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it will never be thirsty thereafter ever.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth 2292 / Baab (Door /Chapter) ‘About the Fountain of the Prophet and its Characteristics’ / Kitab ul Fadaail] Al-Baraa’ Ibn ‘Aazib narrated (Translation), “We went out with the Messenger of Allaah صلى هللا عليه وسلـم with the funeral of a man from the Ansaar and we came to the grave and the niche in the side of the grave had not been dug out yet, so the Messenger of Allaah sat and we sat around him as if we had birds upon our heads (illustrating that everyone was silent and no movements that a bird could have sat on our heads) and in his hand he had a stick with which he was striking the ground. Then he raised his head and said (Translation): ‘Seek refuse with Allaah from the Punishment of the Grave.’ two or three times. Then he said, ‘When the Believing slave is departing this world and going to the Hereafter, Angels with white faces, as if their faces were the sun, descends upon him. With them is a shroud from the shrouds of Paradise and Perfume for embalming from the Perfumes of Paradise. So they sit away from him at a distance the eye can see and then the Angel of Death (Peace be upon him) comes and sits by his head and says, ‘O good soul, come out to the forgiveness from Allaah and His good Pleasure.’ He said, ‘So it comes out just as a drop flows out from the mouth of the drinking vessel, and he takes it, but does not leave it in his hand even for the blink of an eye until they take it and place it in that shroud and that Perfume, and there comes out from him a smell like that of the Best Musk found upon the face of the Earth.’ He said, ‘So they ascend with it (the soul) and they do not pass by any group of Angels except that they say, ‘Who is this good and pure soul? So they reply, ‘So and so, son of so and so’ with the best of


his names which he used be called by in this world until they come with him to the lowest Heaven and ask that it be opened for him, so it is opened for him, so they accompany him through every Heaven to the next one until he is taken up to the seventh Heaven, and Allaah, The Al-Mighty, The Magnificent, says, ‘Write the record of my slave in the ‘Illiyyun (Highest place in Paradise according to his deeds) and return him to the earth to be joined with his body (in the grave).’ So then two Angels come to him and make him sit up. Then they say, ‘Who is your Lord? So he will say, ‘My Lord is Allaah.’ So they will say, ‘What is your Deen (Religion / what belief did you up hold and worship)? So he will say, ‘My Deen is Islam (Submission to Allaah, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it).’ So they say, ‘Who is this man who was sent amongst you? So he will say, ‘He is the Messenger of Allaah.’ So they say, ‘How did you come to know that? So he will say, ‘I read the Book of Allaah, and Believed in it and attested to it.’ So a caller will call from Heaven, ‘Indeed My servant has spoken the Truth, so spread a place for him in Paradise, and open a door to Paradise for him.’ He said, ‘So some of its Fragrant Aroma and scent comes to him and his grave is extended as far as the eye can see.’ He said, ‘A person with a handsome face, beautiful clothes and having a nice fragrant Aroma comes to him and says, ‘Receive good new which will please you. This is the Day which you were promised.’ So he says to him, ‘Who are you? Since your face appears to signify well.’ So he says, ‘I am your righteous deeds.’ He therefore says, ‘O Lord, establish the Last Hour, O Lord establish the Last Hour, so that I may return to my family and wealth.’ But when the Disbelieving slaves soul is leaving this world and going onto the Hereafter, Angels with black faces descends upon him, with them are coarse sack-clothes, and they sit at a distance from him as far as the eyes can see. Then the Angel of Death (Peace be upon him) comes and sits by his head and says, ‘O foul soul, come out to Allah’s Displeasure and Anger.’ So the soul spreads throughout the body, so he drags it out just as a pronged


roasting fork is pulled through wool. So he takes it, but does not leave it in his hand for the blink of an eye until they put it in those coarse sack-cloths. Then there comes from him an offensive stench like that of the foulest smelling corpse rotting upon the face of the Earth. So they ascend with it (the soul) and they do not pass by any group of Angels except that they say, ‘What is this foul smell?’ So they say, ‘So and so, son of so and so.’ Calling him with the ugliest names which he used to be called with in this world, until they come with him to the lowest Heaven and ask permission to enter, and it is not opened for him.’ The Messenger of Allaah then recited (Translation): “…For them the gates of Heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible).” [Surah Al-A’raaf 7 / Verse 40] So Allaah, The Al-Mighty, The Magnificent, says, ‘Write his record in the Sijjin (lowest place in Hell according to his deeds) within the lowest earth.’ Then his soul is flung down, and he recited (Translation): “…And whoever worships other than Allaah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place.” [Surah Hajj 22 / Verse 31] So his soul is returned to his body and two Angels come and make him sit up. Then they will say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ So he will say, ‘Ah Ah, I do not know.’ So they will say to him, ‘What is your Deen?’ So he will say, ‘Ah, Ah, I do not know.’ So they will say to him, ‘Who is this man who was sent amongst you?’ So he will say, ‘Ah, Ah, I do not know.’ So a caller will call from Heaven, ‘You have lied so spread a place for him in the Fire (of Hell), and open a door to the Fire for him.’ So some of its heat and scorching air comes upon him, and his grave in constricted to the extent that his ribs interlace, and a man with ugly face, dishevelled clothing and smelling offensively comes to him and says, ‘Receive news of that which will grieve you, this is the Day which you were promised.’ So


he will say, ‘Who are you? Your face is ugly and seems to signify evil.’ So he will say, ‘I am your evil deeds.’ So he will say, ‘O Lord, Do not establish the Last Hour.’” [Narrated in Saheeh ul Jaami’ / The Hadeeth is Authentic as comes in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and others] ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr narrated that I saw (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah performing the Tauwaf (Circulating) the Ka’bah and he said (Translation): “How sanctified you are, and How Sanctified is your Aroma, and How Great you are, and How Great is your Sanctuary! By Allaah, Who holds the soul of Muhammad in His Hand! The sacredness of the Believer (who believes in Allaah and worships Him) with Allaah is Greater than your Sanctity! As well as his wealth and his Blood.” ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Adi Ibn al-Hamraa said, I saw (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allaah, riding upon his she-camel at al-Hazwari (a place in Makkah) and said (Translation): “By Allah! Indeed you are the Best of the Land upon the earth of Allah. And the Dearest of land to me. And by Allah! I would not have left you, if I was not forced out (by these pagans).” [Narrated in Ibn Majah / Hadeeth 3108 – Authenticated as Hadeeth Saheeh by Imaam Muhammad Nasir-Uddin al-Albani]


Allaah the Ever-Merciful says in the Mighty Qur’aan (Translation): “It is a written Book; It is witnessed only by those who are nearest (to Allaah). Indeed the righteous will be in Bliss. Reclining on high couches, looking at each other. In their faces you see the brightness of Bliss. They are given to drink sealed pure juice (of pure Wine). The seal of which is Musk, for that let all those, who wants to strive, strive (for this Bliss). And this Juice is mixed with Tasmin, this Tasmin is a spring from which drink those who are nearest to Allaah.”

[Surah Al-Mutaffifin 83/Verse 20-28]

Ibn Kathir mentions in his Great book of Tafsir (Exegesis of The Mighty Qur’aan) Al-Qur’aan ul ‘Adhim, the meaning of (Translation):

“The seal of which is Musk”

Consider here the difference between the harmful wine of this world, and the pure, undiluted and sweet wine of Paradise in the Hereafter. The more one drinks of it, the more he comes to have the smell of Musk, unlike the wine of this world, whose drinker is famous for whatever foul, disgusting, offensive smell is detected in him. According to Ibn ‘Abbas, Allaah Al-Mighty will sweeten the wine for them, and the Musk is the last thing to be added to it, with which it is sealed. This kind of wine will be mixed up with a sweeter drink known as Tasnim, the best of the drinks which the inhabitants of Paradise will ever have, from whose spring only those nearest to Allaah drink as pure and clean, with no mixture, unlike others of the people of Paradise, such as the righteous, to them it will be mixed up with other kinds of drink (of Paradise).

[Tafsir Ibn Kathir / Surah Al-Mutaffifin / Verse – 26]


Allaah the Ever-Merciful says in the Mighty Qur’aan (Translation): “Go with my shirt and lay it on my father’s face. He will recover his sight, and bring me all your family. When the caravan left (Egypt) their father said, ‘Indeed I can smell the Aroma of Yusuf (Joseph). Even thou might call me mad! They said, ‘By Allaah! You are still in your old error (that Yusuf is still alive). And when the bearer of the glad tidings came, he threw the shirt on Yacob’s (Jacob’s) face, by which he regained his sight. Then he said, ‘Did I not tell you that I know from Allaah what you do not know.”

[Surah Yusuf 12 /Verse 93-96] Ibn Kathir mentions in his Great book of Tafsir (Exegesis of The Mighty Qur’aan) Al-Qur’aan ul ‘Adhim, the meaning of above verses (Translation): “We said earlier that Yacob’s (Jacob) eyes became white (meaning he turned to be blind) because of his excessive weeping over Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother (Banjiman). Being informed of that, Yusuf ordered his brethren to take his shirt and go with it to throw over the face of his father, so that he would recover and restore his sight. He also ordered them to come to him together with his father and all of Yacob’s offspring’s. Yacob, who knew from Allaah what others knew not, in view of his Prophet hood, and said to those who remained with him from amongst his sons that he could Smell the Presence of Yusuf no matter they might think of him as too weak-minded and old to know the reality of things, and this was just their opinion when they replied to him that he was still in his old error (because of his great love he had for Yusuf, he never forgot him). However, this was a harsh reply to their father, which was not befitting to a son to say to his father, nor for anyone to say to Allah’s Prophet.”

[Tafsir Ibn Kathir / Surah Yusuf / Verse – 93-96]

Similarly, the powers of the body are nurtured by consuming food and drink, feel comfort and elation, being close to loved ones, receiving good news and by the absence of hateful, disliked persons whose presence is heavy on the heart. Indeed, associating with disliked persons weakens the strength and causes sadness and depression, just as the affect that fever and foul odour have on the body.”


It also has good effect in preserving good health and removing many ailments because owning to its stimulants that which helps activate the instinctive powers that the body may enjoy."

[Narrated in Medicine of the Prophet /p317]

7. Did you know Allah (God) Loves for His Creation Tib? ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’oud narrated the Prophet (Muhammad) صلى

:said (Translation) هللا عليه وسلـم

“No Paradise for the one that has in his heart an atoms weight of Pride. A man said, ‘Indeed a man loves that his garments be elegant and likewise his shoes.’ He said (Translation), ‘Indeed Allaah is Beautiful and Loves that which of beauty, but pride is that you reject the truth and you look down upon the people.”

[Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth – 91] Indeed the Human being, from those things our Natural Disposition leads to, is that which was described regarding the meaning of Tib. Therefore if Tib (attar, perfume oils, essential oils) are the things that drive our soul, mind and body, to be in a state that is of serenity, tranquillity and joyfulness , than it goes true for foul odours and the things that the souls hate and dislikes.


Therefore attar, perfume oils, essential oils are the things that bring about the feeling of being in Paradise and in a tranquil state of mind that will leave your day, one of joyfulness.

8. Where did Tib Originate from? Attar, perfume oils, essential oils have been known from the time Adam was created, for he dwelled in Paradise with his wife, Eve, thus he did feel and taste the serenity, tranquillity and its beautiful aroma that it is created with. Than Adam was sent down to the earth and its knowledge was passed on from generation to generation, some adapting to it and others coming to learn about the different kinds of fragrances, musk, attar, perfume oils, and essential oils. For Allaah is Beautiful and loves that which is beautiful, therefore the knowledge of Tib and its aroma is not something God (Allah) would let the people forget as we’ve learnt from the saying of Allaah the Al-Mighty Himself, in The Mighty Qur’aan and in the saying of Muhammad the Last Prophet sent to the Mankind and Jinns (ghosts /Demons)

9. Misconception that Tib (Attar, Perfume Oil, Essential Oils Musk Oils) were only known few thousand years ago! Some believe that attar, perfume oils were first known by the kings and royals of Egypt, India and the Arabian Peninsula but this is wrong for it has been known that essential oils, musk, attar, perfumes oils are things of Paradise, than for sure Allaah (God) taught Adam all the things in existent, and as we learnt that nice Aroma are things that are loved to the soul, mind and body, plus it’s from natural disposition and purity of faith. Therefore how is it that it’s only known a few thousand years ago?


Thus perfume oils are not something that is and was used by the rich as some claim but rather we see and learn that it is for those who seek serenity, tranquillity and joyfulness as was mentioned earlier about the meaning of the word Tib.



Did you know Tib (Attar, Perfume Oils, Essential Oils, Musk Oils…) are Cures for various Diseases?

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said (Translation): "There is no Disease Allah has sent down except that He has also sent down a cure for it"


1. Did you know The Indian Qust (‘ud) Is a Cure for Seven Different kinds of Diseases? Imaam al-Bukhaare brings a chapter in his Saheeh (Translation) "To Sniff the Indian Qust". In it he mentions the Hadeeth narrated by Umm Qais bint Mihsan that she heard the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) saying (Translation): "Use the Indian ‘ud (Qust, kust), for it has a cure for seven different kinds of Diseases. It should be sniffed by one having throat troubles and to be put into one side of the mouth of the one suffering from pleurisy."



Ibn Qayyim mentions in at-Tib an-Nabawi (Medicine of the Prophet) (Translation): “There are two type of The Indian ‘ud. One type is used for medical purposes, which is called al-Kust and some called it al-Qust. The second type of ‘ud is called Aluwwah (Aloe wood), which is used it perfume.” [Narrated in Medicine of the Prophet /p322 – Printed by Dar al Manar in English]

2. Did you know that The Indian Qust (‘ud) is a Cure for Tonsillitis? The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said (Translation): “Indeed the Best Medicines you may treat yourselves with are Hijamah (cupping) and the sea Qust. And he added, 'You should not torture your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils, but use Qust"

[Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare /H5696]

3. Did you know that The Indian ‘ud (Qust) is a Cure for Pleurisy? In another Hadeeth narrated by Umm Qais, that she took one of her son’s to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) because he had palate and tonsils that she had pressed because he had throat trouble. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said (Translation):


'Why do you pain your children by getting the tonsils and palate pressed like that? Use ‘ud al-Hindi (Indian Qust) for it cures seven diseases one of which is Pleurisy."


4. Did you know that the Indian Qust (‘ud) is one the Best Remedies? It is narrated by Anas that the Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said (Translation):

"Cupping and marine Qust are best of your Remedies"

[Narrated Saheeh al-Bukhaare V7/H5696] It is also narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaare, that the Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said (Translation): "Treat yourself with 'Ud al-Hindi (Indian ‘ud/Qust), for indeed it has seven cures; it is to be sniffed by one having throat problems (tonsils) and to be put into one side of the mouth of one suffering from Pleurisy."

[Narrate in Saheeh al-Bukhaare V7/H5692]


5. Did you know that there are two types of Indian Qust, both has many Benefits? Ibn Qayyim states in at-Tib an-Nabawi that (Translation):

"There are two kinds of Qust, the white kind that is called sea-Qust and the Indian Qust, which is the hottest among them while the white type is the mildest. Both kinds have many benefits.”

[Narrated In Medicine of the Prophet /p331]

6. Did know that Some of the Benefits of Indian Qust (‘ud) are?

Ibn Qayyim mentions in at-Tib an-Nabawi that (Translation): Both kinds of Qust are hot and dry in the third degree, and they dry out the phlegm and colds. When they are taken as a drink, they help weak liver and stomach and colds that may accompany such types of illness. In addition Qust also helps against quartan fever, the pain on the side of the body and poisons. When face is anointed with Qust that is rubbed with water and honey, they heal the spots that appear on the face."

[Narrated in Medicine of the Prophet /p332]

7. Do you know What Galinus (a famous Physician) said about

Indian Qust? Galinus said (Translation): "That the Qust Heals tetanus, the pain in the sides and removes spots, which he called the seeds of the pumpkin."


Some unskilled doctors are unaware of or deny the Qust has such an effective remedy against the pain in the sides of the body. If these inexperienced doctors became aware of what Galinus has stated about the Qust, they will quickly embrace it as if it was Divine text. Moreover, many doctors have also stated that Qust helps against the pain in the flank that is accompanied by phlegm, the matter as Al-Khattabi related from Muhammad bin Al-Jahm. [Narrated in Medicine of the Prophet /p332 – Printed by Dar al Manar in English Translation / From the work of the Noble the Ocean of Knowledge, the Imaam, shaykh Shams-uddin Ibn Qayyim al-Jwaziyah]



Conclusion

In the Name of Allah, All Praise is for Him, as He Deserves, and may the praise and peace be upon Muhammad and his family and his companions and all those who follow them in Guidance up to the Day of Judgement. To proceed: As we said, in our introduction, that it is a great blessing that Allaah has bestowed upon us the faculty to use smell and taste in distinguishing what is good and bad, what is desirable and undesirable, and what is liked and what is disliked. And this can only be achieved by the soul that is thoughtful and alert in pondering the creation, whether it be in the creation of him/herself, or in how the 360 joints in her body is connected together to make up his/her skeleton or more so sophisticated issues like how the planets, solar systems, and galaxies came about and are formed, without a Creator? Can you imagine any governing body without a dictator, whether it be in governing a family, a tribe, a society, or a nation? Then know, this is a Great blessing, that Allah has bestowed the nation of Muhammad with Islaam, as He did with those Prophets before him, but he is the last of Prophets sent to the mankind and the Jinns (ghosts /demons) as a guidance to them and a illumination by which they may attain the Pleasure of their Lord in this world and the Hereafter.


How sad is it to see, how many people are deceived by the wolfs of mankind as the saying goes:

“People are like wolfs in the disguise of sheep’s”

By using the lawful things in the wrong way or placing the rightful things in the wrong place. How today the biggest consumers of perfumes are women and it is targeted towards them and only Allaah knows best how hard they are trying to fulfil the craves of these wolfs! It is a fact that is undeniable, that these disbelieving people who are not Muslims (meaning those that have not submitted to the Will of Allaah), knows, that by wearing perfume, it incites or calls to the end of its goal! “Illegal sexual intercourse” Zina! The facts are in our faces, but how many eyes are blind and how many ears are deaf, to even hear or see, to understand.

Indeed Allah, The All-Knowing, The All-Wise, says, In a Hadeeth Qudsi (Translation): “…And Indeed I have Created My servants all of them upon the inclination to work/worship Me. And indeed it is the shaytaan (devil) that comes to them and takes them away from the correct Religion. And he (the devil) makes unlawful, what I have made lawful. And he (the devil) orders you with associating partners to Me in your worship of Me, for which there has been revealed no authority (revelation) to him (the devil) to do so….”

[Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth – 2865]


Allaah the Ever-Merciful says (Translation): “Indeed the devil is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy, indeed what he calls his party to is that they be of the companions of the Fire (Hell).”

[Surah Al-Faatir 35 / Verse 6]

Allaah, The Ever-Merciful, The Creator of the Heavens and the earth, says (Translation): “Shaytaan (the devil) threatens you with poverty and orders you with evil morals. But Allaah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allaah is All-Encompassing and All-Knowing.”

[Qur’aan / Surah Al-Baqarah 2/ Verse – 268] And Allaah the Ever-Merciful says (Translation):

“O Children of Adam! Do not let the Shaytaan (devil) seduce you in the same way as he did with your parents (Adam and Eve) by which they were made to exit Paradise, and he tore off their garment in order to uncover their shameful parts of their nakedness. He and his tribes see you from where you cannot see them (because jinns are from the things we can’t see of the material world). Indeed We have made the devils to be friends and allies of those who do not Believe (by putting their trust with Allaah, and worshipping Him) .”

[Surah Al-‘Araaf 7 / Verse 27]


Thus the shaytaan (satan) came to our parents, Adam and Eve in the form of a good adviser, and he whispered to them as it comes in the Mighty Qur’aan (Translation): “The shaytaan (devil) whispered to them, that he may strip them so as to expose their shameful of their nakedness, by saying: ‘Your Lord has not forbidden this tree to you, except to prevent you from becoming Angels or becoming those from immortal.’ Then he (the devil) gave an oath to them saying, ‘Indeed I am to you but a sincere good adviser. And thus he cunningly seduced them. When they ate from the tree their shameful parts appeared to them, and they both started to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. Their Lord called out to them and said, ‘Did I not tell you not to approach this tree and that shaytaan (the devil) is a manifest enemy to you.”

[Surah Al-‘Araaf 7 / Verse 20-22]

Thus he the devil beautified to them his speech so as to allure them to the sin, so they ate, as Allaah the Ever-Merciful, The All-Wise says (Translation), “For the shaytaan (devil) did have them to slip from that which they were enjoying (Paradise). We said, Go down to the earth! We have made some of you to the others an enemy. The earth will be your dwelling place and an enjoyment for a while. Then Adam received words from his Lord, He forgave him. Indeed He is Best of those who accepts the repentance of those who repent to Him and He is Ever-Merciful….Whenever there comes to you guidance from Me and he who follows My Guidance will have no fear nor shall they grieve .”

[Qur’aan / Surah Al-Baqarah / Verse – 36-38]


How amazing, from the amazing of affairs today that people are happy with artificial over the natural, by which Allah has created things, to the point that we find our Muslim women has fallen for this western trend of the name “Make-Up” that it has become one of the biggest industry of cosmetics worth over Billions of dollars! And we see these same women from the west are leaving this trend! As the proverb goes: “They ate the meat and threw the bones on us, now they want our

meat”

So beware O men and women of Islaam! Look over yourself and your families from the evil plots of these wolfs. For we are not in need of falling in to the traps of these wolfs, for Islaam has not left a stone unturned in explaining that which will brings us benefit and harm in this world and the Hereafter, to the point, as we have seen that which is used as an extension to our attires, (Perfume) is explained to us in detail, that there is a smell and an aroma to our soul, our body, clothing’s, our abodes and paradise and likewise these aromas are either a allure to Bliss (the Pleasure of Allah) or it is a allure to seduction of the caprice and both, has its consequences, either you will be in joy and bliss or in a state of sorrow and grieving in the end. Hence what then about those things, that is more important to us in our life then perfume? The Scholars of this Mighty Religion by which Allah, lets no other religion to prevail over it, says, that this word “Make-Up” is alien to the language of the Arab and to this Religion of Islaam.


Allaah, The Creator of the Heavens and the earth, The King of all Kings, says (Translation): “It is He who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth to manifest it over all religions, although the pagans may hate it.”

[Qur’aan / Surah Tawbah 9 / Verse 33]

Therefore look O men and women of understanding how the devil has mislead us in using the lawful in the unlawful way and putting the rightful things in the wrong place. To the extent that you would not find an advert or a bill board where a perfume is being advertised except that is has an incitement towards illegal sexual relationships (zina) and that which is apparent from it. And we ask Allaah that He makes us from amongst those who uses the lawful in the lawful way and that we put the rightful things in the rightful places (Ameen). Indeed Allaah the Ever-Merciful, The Most Knowledgeable and All-Wise says (Translation): “Raised by Allaah are those from amongst you who believe (by putting their trust with Allaah, by worshipping Him) and those who attained knowledge, We will raise them in Degree.”

[Surah Al-Mujadilah 58/ Verse – 11]


Allaah, The King of all Kings, Creator of the Heavens and the earth says (Translation): “Know you are the best nation ever raised up for mankind, you enjoin the good and you forbid the evil and you believe in Allaah (by worshipping Him).”

[Surah Al-‘Imran 3 / Verse 110] Abi Ruqayyah Tameem Ibn Aws ad-Daaree narrated that the Prophet (Muhammad, Peace be upon him) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation):

“This Religion is giving sincere good advice. We (the companions) said, ‘to whom’ he said (Translation),

‘To Allah, to His Book, to the Messenger, to the ruler of the Muslims and to their common folks.”

[Narrated in Saheeh Muslim] Anas narrated that the Prophet (Muhammad, Peace be upon him) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم said (Translation): “By Allah, In Whose Hand in my soul! A salve would not truly believe until he loves for his neighbour or his brother, what he loves for himself.”

[Saheeh Muslim / Hadeeth 45 /72]


Imam Ahmad narrated on the authority of Abu Umamah that a young man came to the Prophet (Muhammad, Peace be upon him) صلى هللا عليه وسلـم and said (Translation):

"O Messenger of Allah! Give me permission to commit Illegal sexual intercourse (zina)!

The people there surrounded him and started to rebuke him, say-ing (Translation); "Stop! Stop!''

But the Prophet said (Translation), ‘Let him come close to me’ so the young man came to him, and he said, ‘Have a sit.’

He said (Translation),

‘Would you like it (these illegal sexual intercourse’s to be commit-ted by others) for your mother?

He (The Young Man) said (Translation), "No, by Allah! May I be ransomed for you.''


Nor do the people like this (that others should commit illegal sexual intercourse’s) for their mothers.


Would you like it (these illegal sexual intercourse’s to be commit-ted by others) for your daughter?

He said (Translation), "No, by Allah! May I be ransomed for you.''


Nor do the people like it (that others should commit illegal sexual intercourse’s) for their daughters.



Would you like it (these illegal sexual intercourse’s to be commit-ted by others) for your sister?

He said (Translation), "No, by Allah! May I be ransomed for you.''


Nor do the people like it (that others should commit illegal sexual intercourse’s) for their sisters.


Would you like it (these illegal sexual intercourse’s to be commit-ted by others) for your paternal aunt?

He said (Translation), "No, by Allah! O Allah's Messenger! May I be ransomed for you.''


Nor do the people like it (that others should commit illegal sexual intercourse’s) for their paternal aunts.


Would you like it (these illegal sexual intercourse’s to be commit-ted by others) for your maternal aunt?

He said (Translation), "No, by Allah! O Allah's Messenger! May I be ransomed for you.''


Nor do the people like it (that others should commit illegal sexual intercourse’s) for their maternal aunts.


Then He put his hand on him and said (Translation),

ر قلبه، وأحصن فرجه» «اللهم اغفر ذنبه، وطه O Allaah! Forgive his sin, purify his heart and guard his chastity.

After that the young man never paid attention to anything of that nature.

[Narrated in Tafsir Ibn Kathir /Surah Al-Isra / Verse 32 – Also in Silsilatul Hadeeth as-Sahihah / Hadeeth – 370]

Allah, The Most Beautiful, The Most Forbearing, says (Transla-tion):

“And do not Approach illegal sexual intercourse! Indeed it is evil shameful deed, and it opens paths (to greater evil, the end, Wrath of Allaah).”

نى إنه كان فاحشة وال تقربوا الز

[Quran /Surah 17 / Verse 32]


And the End our call is all Praises is for Allaah, Lord of the worlds.

How perfect is Allaah free from any imperfection, O Allaah! To You belongs all Praise, And I bear witness there is none worthy of worship in truth except You. And I turn to You in forgiveness and repentance.
