Quran Science
The Everlasting Miracle:
The Quran is an eternal miracle revealed from Allah (SWT). Allah challenges the whole humanity to bring a
book, or ten chapters, or even one chapter that is similar to it, yet all have failed to meet the challenge.
Allah (swt) said in surah al-asraa: 88 that: if all mankind and jinn gathered to make the like of the Quran, they
couldn’t do it even if they helped one another.
Analyzing Quran:
When we carefully analyze the contents of the Quran, we can find no contradiction in its contents. No other
religious book, except the Quran is like that. The present Quran is exactly the same as it was when revealed to
the Prophet (S) more than 1400 years ago.
A Study of the History:
Quran applies to everyone, every community in the world; the message is true for all periods in history. It made
sense at the time of the Prophet (S) and still makes sense in present time.
Final Revelation:


The final revelation was sent the year 10 after Hijra, when the Prophet (S) was delivering the farewell
Khutba. During the khutba, Allah (swt) revealed verses 5:3; the translation: (this day I have perfected for
you your religion and completed upon you the blessing, and have accepted for you Islam as the religion.
Many scholars consider this verse as the last verse revealed to the Prophet (S) and the Quran was thus
completed (Alhamdullah).
The Wisdom of Revealing the Quran in stages (Not all at once):




To strengthen the heart of Prophet Muhammad the Quran was revealed time after time to support and
encourage the Prophet (S) to go on with the dawah.
To challenge the disbelievers who asked many questions to test the Prophet (S), so Allah (swt) revealed
the Quran to give them answers.
To form the Islamic rules: Allah (swt) created us. He knows it would be hard for us as human-beings to
change and refrain from drinking alcohol, committing adultery, killing, stealing and so-forth, and to be a
Muslim with perfect manners in a short time; so the first revelation was about Jannah and Hellfire, faith,
then the rules established about halal and haram.
To confirm that this book had been sent from Allah: The revelation continued for 23 years, all of the
ayat and surahs were perfectly connected and supported one another. If the Quran was from humanbeings, it would show conflict.

Hadith Science
What is Hadith?
The Arabic word Hadith means ‘statement' or ‘talk'. In the Shariah, the word Hadith means those things or
action, which Prophet Muhammad (S) said or did. You will also come across the word ‘Sunnah' which is also
used for Hadith, but usually ‘Sunnah' is used to report a deed, such as how the Prophet Muhammad (S) slept or
ate etc, while Hadith is used for ‘talk'.
There are six well know Hadith books, which were compiled by great scholars of Islam:
• Sahih Bukhari
• Sahih Muslim
• Sunnah Abu Dawood
• Sunnah Nasai
• Sunnah Tirmidhi
• Sunnah ibn Majah
There are many others, but these are the most commonly used by Muslims to seek knowledge.
Some people nowadays incorrectly say that you don't need Hadith, and that the Quran is enough for guidance to
the straight path.
The correct view and understanding is that many times the Quran gives us the general principal of an order; but
to understand the order clearly, Hadith is required.
Basically without Hadith we won't have clear understanding on how to practice Islam properly, Islam is a way
of life, which was taught to us by the Prophet Muhammad (S), which we know as the 'Sunnah' we should try
and follow all the Sunnah's to gain great rewards in the hereafter.

Hadith in English
On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree (may Allah
be pleased with him) who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) say, “Whoso- ever of you sees
an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is
not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his
tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his
heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]

shade.
Sahih Muslim 2566
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Prophet, peace and

An-Nu’man ibn Basheer reported: The Messenger of
Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The
parable of the believers in their affection, mercy,
and compassion for each other is that of a body;
when any limb of it aches, the whole body reacts
with sleeplessness and fever.”

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Those who
are merciful will be shown mercy by the Merciful.
Be merciful to those on the earth and the One
above the heavens will have mercy upon you. The
womb is derived from the Merciful, so whoever
keeps relations with his family then Allah will keep
relations with him, and whoever abandons his
family then Allah will abandon him.”

will not be shown mercy.”

Abu Huraira reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, say, “Verily, Allah
created mercy; on the day He created it, He made
it into one hundred parts. He kept with Him
ninety-nine parts, and sent one part to all His
creatures. Had the disbeliever known the mercy
which is in the hands of Allah, he would not lose
hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer
known the punishment which is with Allah, he
would not consider himself safe from the Hellfire.”

Aqeeda
The word ‘aqeedah’ means ‘whatever you firmly believe in your heart, and everything you do is for that
belief’ in Arabic means you’ve tied a firm knot in your heart about this belief.
We may say about the
aqeedah of the Buddhist, the Christian or the Jews.
‘Islamic aqeedah is ‘everything that the Quran and the authentic Sunnah approve.
Imaan is ‘belief in the heart, speech on the tongue and actions of the limbs’
It is not enough to just believe in Allah in your heart and then do nothing. You need to say ‘la ilaha ill
Allah and act upon your belief.
Imaan goes up with good deeds and goes down with bad deeds: If you do your salat, read lots of Quran,
make dua, wear halal clothes, eat halal, your heart will be filled with the remembrance of Allah and it will
be strong and you will find it easy to remember Allah more.
Iman has six pillars : 1.belief in Allah, 2.belief in the angels, 3.belief in the Books, 4.belief in the Prophets, 5.
belief in the Last Day, 6. belief in the Qadr of Allah both the good of it and the bad
Belief in Allah (swt): Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah
The first pillar of Iman is belief in Allah. We call this TAWHEED in Arabic as ‘waahid’ which means ‘one’.
 Tawheed means: to single out Allah alone in His Lordship, in Worship and in His Names and
Attributes.
 First: He is Al-Khaaliq, The Creator. There is nothing that exists anywhere except that Allah created it.
And no one else can create anything, only Allah.
 Second: He controls the whole universe and the whole of creation. There is nothing that exists that is
outside of His control or His Will.
 Third: He is Ar-Razzaaq, The Provider. Everything that exists is need of Him and in need of His
Provision, but He is not in need of anyone. He sends the rain to grow the plants and provide food for
animals and humans. Everything you own , eat or spend, was given to you by Allah.
Allah alone is The One Who creates, controls and provides. Those who deny and reject Tawheed ArRuboobiyyah are atheists they say there is no creator and everything came into being by mistake and chance.
How do we reply to such people? We have three excellent examples of how to reply to such People.
Advance (Age 14-17)

1st example: Firawn claimed he was a god, and had control over the Nile - the source of Egypt’s wealth.
So Musa challenges him: my Lord is the one who sends down water from the sky, who makes the crops
to grow, yet you claim that you control the Nile: so which of us is speaking the truth? He shows Firawn
clearly to his face that in reality he controls nothing. It is Allah who controls, not Firawn. Musa’s
arguments and proofs were so clear and convincing
2nd Example Imam Abu Hanifah was one of the great scholars of Islam. A group of atheists had arranged
a debate with him about whether Allah existed or not. When they arrived, Imam said; he could not talk
to them, he was far too busy and preoccupied with a strange mystery that was puzzling him. They asked
what the mystery was. Imam said that there was a ship with no pilot sailing back and forth Across the
river in Baghdad, loading and unloading. The atheists were instantly amazed and scornful - such a thing
is not possible, they cried. The Imam’s response was immediate: “And yet you say greater than this!”
He instantly showed them the foolishness of their claims that there was no Lord. So the universe is not
just in complete random chaos! So their claim was.
Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah is to believe in the actions of Allah - that no one and nothing else can do those
actions except Allah alone.
Tawheed Al-Uloohiyyah is about our actions - i.e. ibaadah (worship) - which should be for Allah alone
and no one else.
Everyone and everything is in need of Allah, but He is need of nothing and no-one. He is As-Samad
(The Self-Sufficient).
Belief in the Angels:
 Belief of Angels is the second pillar of Faith (Iman). A person isn’t a believer without this pillar.
 Angels write down feelings and desires. If you intend to do something wrong it won’t be written unless you
say or do it. If you don’t do it, then it is counted as a good deed because you resisted that act.
 They are created from light, as ‘A’isha (RA) reported: "The Messenger of Allah (S) said: ‘The angels are
created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire and mankind is created from what you
have been told about.’" (Reported by Muslim, no. 2996).
 Angels live in the heavens. Some are sent to the earth with specific duties, but once they have done those
duties they return back to the heavens.
 The greatest of all the angels is Jibreel (Gabriel), upon whom be peace, who was described in the Hadeeth:
the Messenger of Allah saw Jibreel in his true form. He had six hundred wings, each of which covered the
horizon. There fell from his wings jewels, pearls and rubies, only Allah knows about them.
 19 Angels guard hellfire. Malik is the keeper of Hell.
 8 angels will be carrying the throne of Allah on the Day of Judgment.
 The Angels have outstanding power. the punishment of the people of Lut, (AS), when the town of Sodom
was lifted up by two angels, turned upside down and slammed back down into the earth.
 Distances at great speed. PROOF: “The angels and the Ruh (Jibreel, alayhi salam) go up to Him in a day



that measures 50,000 years.” [Al-Ma’aarij (70):4]
They are righteous, pious and never disobey Allah.
They are described in the Quran as: beautiful, strong, honorable, obedient, harsh, severe (these last
describe how Angels are with disbelievers, especially when it comes to pulling out their souls at death and how they
will be dealt with on the Last Day and in Hellfire).
They can take the form of men. The two angels who brought the punishment to the people of Lut (AS),
who stopped on their way to give Ibrahim (AS) the glad tiding of a second son.


Some of Angles fight alongside the believers in battle of Badr where thousands of Angels fought and
Shaytaan who was with the Quraish fled the battlefield crying ‘I can see what you cannot see!’ Even the
Quraish bore testimony to the Angels fighting because many died without any person near them.
3. Belief in the Books:
Believing in the previous Books that Allah revealed to His messengers. Included are those that Allah has
specifically mentioned in the Quran such as:
o The Scriptures of Ibraheem.
o The Zaboor. Book of Dawood (AS).
o The Tawraah. Book of Musa (AS).
o The Injeel. Book of Iesa (AS).
o Believing in the Quran and that it is the last book Allah revealed
o Believing in the wahy (revelation)


Regarding the Injeel, We believe in the original revelations and not the current ones that have been changed.
The Qur'an is Allah’s last revelation and the best of His speech.
4. Belief in Allah’s Messengers:
Believing in the Messengers is a pillar of Iman. A person is not a believer without this pillar.
o Nabiyy (plural Anbiya’): prophet
o Rasool (plural Rusul): messenger
 Why did Allah send messengers?
o To establish the proof against us, no one will be judged unless the message reached them.
o Guide people about the ultimate benefit, for example How would we know about worship, halal,
haram etc. unless messengers came to teach us this benefits us in both this world and in the akhirah.
5. Belief in the Akhirah (Hereafter):
 Belief in the Hereafter is one of the pillars of Iman. A person is not a believer without the believing in the
life after.
 When describing the concept of believing in Allah SWT, the Hereafter is always mentioned. Also, so many
hadith come with the statement like; “Whosoever believes in Allah and the Hereafter …..(Do such and
such…)”.
 Belief that there will be another life after this one. There will be a Judgment Day with recompense in
Paradise or Hellfire.
1. Yawm al-Akhir (The Last Day)
2. Yawm Ad-Deen (The Day of Recompense)
3. Yawm al-Qiyaamah (The Day of Standing)
4. 'As-Saa'a' or 'The Hour'
5. Yawm al-Hashr (The Day of the Gathering)
6. Belief in Al-Qadar:
In English 'Qadr' is translated as 'predestination' or 'decree/that which is decreed'
Belief in the Qadr has 4 pillars – they are the essential fundamentals of belief in Al-Qadr and you have to
understand and believe in all of them:
Advance (Age 14-17)
7
1: AL-ILM (‫ )العلم‬- The Knowledge of Allah
We have to know, understand and believe that Allah knew all about the creation even before it was created.
PROOF: “...And nothing is hidden from your Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom (or an ant) on the earth
or in the heaven. Nor what is less than that or what is greater than that, but it is (written) in a Clear Record.”
And we have to believe that Allah knows about everything which does not exist as
Well as everything that does exist, the possible and the impossible.
2: AL-KITAABAH (‫ )الكتابه‬- The Writing of Allah we have to know, understand and believe that Allah wrote
everything that would happen in a Record. This Book is called 'Al-Lawh Al-Mahfoodh' )‫(اللوح المحفوظ‬
PROOF 1: hadith in Muslim: 'I heard Allah's Messenger saying, “Allah has written the destiny of all the
creation 50,000 years before He created the heavens and the earth, and His Throne was upon water.”.
PROOF 2: hadith: “The first thing that Allah created was the pen. He commanded it to write. It said, 'O my
Lord! What shall I write?' He said, “Write down what has been ordained for all things until the establishment of
the Hour.””
3: AL-MASHEE'AH () - The Will of Allah, Nothing can happen or exist unless Allah wills it.
PROOF: “And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah Wills – the Lord of the 'Aalameen. [At-Takwir]
So the mashee'ah is ONLY for Allah. The creation might have their own 'will' and desire to do something, but
it can only exist or happen if Allah wills it.
4: AL-KHALQ - The Creation by Allah, We have to believe that Allah creates from nothing and that He has
complete, total and supreme Power over that. PROOF: “...Say: 'Allah is the Creator of all things; He is The One,
The Irresistible.'” [Ar-Ra'd]
So all these four matters are what make up 'belief in the Qadr of Allah'.
Al-Qadaa' and Al-Qadr
o Al-Qadr refers to 'the ability of Allah' In other words: the fact that Allah Knew, Wrote, Willed and
Created all things in due proportion and according to precise measures.
o Al-Qadaa' refers to the precise execution and accomplishment of all those matters which were
predestined to happen in accordance with Allah's previous Knowledge, Writing and Will.
So when Al-Qadr or Al-Qadaa' are mentioned by themselves, then each one includes the other in
meaning.
When they are both mentioned together then Al-Qadr means the predestination of all things, and then
when that predestined matter actually happens then this is Al-Qadaa'.
 Important Principles that must be clearly understood regarding Belief in Al-Qadr
1. There is nothing good or evil except that it exists by the Will of Allah
2. Whatever Allah allows to exist does so only because of His Hikmah (Wisdom).
3. There is nothing that Allah has decreed that is completely evil without any good in it at all. Even if it
seems completely bad or evil to us, then that is simply because we do not know the good that is in it or may
come from it but Allah knows.
4. Allah is Just. No one is oppressed by Him. He forbade injustice for Himself and for all His slaves.
5. Allah is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem. What is the difference between the two?
Ar- Rahman is the Mercy that Allah has for all of the creation – he provides for the animals and kaafir as
well as the Muslims.
Ar-Raheem is the Mercy Allah has towards the believers.
6. The days, lives and Qadr of each person are not always good or always bad. Everyone has good days
and bad days, times of ease and times of hardship.

Fiqh
Fiqh means: knowledge about Islamic legal rulings from their sources.
Salah and its conditions:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, “Tell me, if a stream flows at the door of anyone of you and he bathes in it
five times a day, will any dirt be left on his body? The companions said no dirt will be left.” So in the case of
the five prayers Allah removes and washes away sins on their account.
*Conditions that must be met before performing salat:
1. An-niyyah: the intention
2. At-tahara: purity
3. Al-awra: covering these parts of the body
4. Facing the Qibla
5. Praying at the proper time
Friday prayer:
- The importance of jummah:
Friday is the best day for Muslims.
 Salat al-Jummah takes the place of the dhuhr prayer on Friday. One who unfortunately misses the Friday
prayer cannot make up for it. He is required to pray dhuhr in 4 rakaat.
 Jummah is required of all residential Muslim men who are of age and capable of performing the prayer.
It is not required for women, girls or infants.
 There is a Surah (62) in Qur’an that talks about the Jumuah Prayer.
The Khutba:
This sermon is in Arabic, but it can be in another language which is understandable for the people. It
consists of two parts. In the first part, the Khateeb glorifies Allah and prays for Allah’s blessings and mercy on
Allah’s Messenger (S).
He reminds the congregation of Allah and the teachings of Allah and the teachings of Islam. He urges the
people to do good and warns them against wrong-doing and current evils in the society. In the second part, he
prays for them and the Muslim Ummah (community) in general.
When the Khutba has been completed, the Iqamah is called out. The Khateeb then leads the
congregation in a two Rak’ah prayer (instead of the usual 4 Rak’aat for Dhuhr prayer). He recites aloud, as he
does in the Fajr, Maghrib and Ishaa’ prayers.
* How We Should Sit During the Khutba:
When the Khatib delivers the khutba, you should listen to it carefully. Talking, asking questions and
answering them, and playing about with your hands are strictly prohibited. It is the most blessed time; you
should remain mindful of Allah.
If you arrive late, you should never try to leap across people’s necks to find a place for yourself. You
should occupy the first vacant place you come across.
* The Benefits of Salatul Jammah:
It is an act of obedience to Allah (swt). It brings together all the Muslims of the same community and, in this
way, increases the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and equality.

As a Continue to the story of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
During the 2nd year of Hijrah, Fatima, the youngest daughter of the Prophet, married Ali.
Also during the 2nd year, the 2 Eid celebrations were practiced. Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha.
In the 3rd year after Hijrah, 3,000 Meccan soldiers led by Abu Sufyan marched to Medinah to take revenge on
what happened at the Battle of Badr.
After consulting with the leaders of Medinah, it was decided to meet the Quraysh at Uhud, a mountainous region
5 km from Medinah. The Prophet left on Friday, Shawwal 14th, with 1,000 soldiers. Half way to Uhud, Abdullah
bin Ubay left the army with 300 men, leaving 700.
At Uhud, there was a danger of being attacked from behind a mountain, so the Prophet posted 50 archers to guard
the area and instructed them not to leave their post regardless of victory or defeat.
On the 15th of Shawwal, the armies met and fought. The Muslims were winning the battle. The archers wanted to
participate in the collecting of the spoils of war, and 40 of them left their post.
Khalid bin Walid, a Makkan army general, saw the weak position of the pass and attacked the Muslims. The
result was that many Muslims were martyred.
Hamza was martyred by Wahshi, a black slave who won his freedom for killing Hamza.
The Prophet was injured by Ibn Qami'ah who gave a blow with his sword over the head of the Prophet which
caused two rings of his helmet to pierce the face of the Prophet. Another enemy struck him on the face with a
stone with the result that a tooth broke.
The Muslims retreated up the mountain of Uhud and the Quraysh took their time mutilating the bodies of the
Muslims.
Hind, the wife of Abu Sufyan, opened the abdomen of Hamza, took out his liver, and ate from it.
In the end, Sixty five Ansaar and four Muhajireen were martyred. They are alive right now, enjoying the fruits of
Paradise. This is mentioned in Surah Baqarah and ‘Ali Imran. Allahu Akbar!
Although the Jews of Medinah signed a peace treaty with the Prophet, they broke the treaty and conspired with
the Quraysh of Makkah, the hypocrites and other enemies of Islam to bring an end to the mission of the Prophet
SAAW.
After Banu Qaynuqa committed treason, the Prophet SAAW ordered the tribe to leave Medinah; they left to Syria.
(4th year of Hijrah)
The Banu Nadir conspired to assassinate the Prophet. He found out and ordered them to leave but they refused.
The Muslims fought the Banu Nadir who stayed behind their fortresses for 15 days before surrendering.
Eventually they also left Medinah. (4th year of Hijrah) Their story is recorded in Surah Hashr.
In the year 5 A.H. the Meccans made another great effort to destroy the Muslims with the help of the Jews and the
desert tribes of Ghatafan. This great army of 10,000 men, 4000 camels and 300 horses marched towards Madinah
under the command of Abu Sufyaan to begin the Battle of Ahzab.
Salman Al Farasi suggested that the Muslims protect Medinah by building a trench around the open areas of the
city to prevent the enemy from entering.
The Prophet himself labored and dug the trenches which were 5 meters wide by 5 meters deep.
The Banu Quraydah, the last Jewish tribe in Medinah, joined the Quraysh army during the Battle of Ahzab.
The enemy arrived and laid siege for 27 days. On the 27th night a severe storm approached Madinah. The effect of
this severe storm was most devastating for the enemy. Their tents were uprooted, goods were blown about, fires
were extinguished and the whole army was in utter fear and in a state of confusion. They decided to leave.
The Banu Quraydah asked to have their once Muslim friend, Sa’ad bin Muadh, to pass judgment on them. He
ordered that the able bodied and active fighters be put to death, the women and children to be treated as prisoners
of war and their goods and property to be handed over as spoils of war to be distributed among the poor Muslim
workers. This decision was compatible with the commands of the Tawrah (The Book of the Jews).
In the year 6 A.H. the Prophet saw a vision in which he found himself and the Sahaba entering the holy place of
Mecca to perform Hajj. So he set out for Mecca in the month of Dhul-Qadah 6 A.H. with 1,400 Sahaba to perform
Umrah, without the least intention of going into battle.

The Prophet camped at Hudaiybiah, an area close to Mecca, and sent Uthman Bin Affan to negotiate entrance into
Mecca with the Quraysh. They kept him hostage and rumors spread that he had been killed. The Prophet ordered
that all the Muslims there should give him a pledge to defend the life of Uthman. All the Muslims who gave the
pledge were given Paradise. This pledge is called Bai’at ul Ridwan.
Uthman was not murdered. The Quraysh sent Suhail bin Amr to form a treaty with the Muslims.
The Treaty of Hudaiybiah is mentioned in Qur’an to be a ‘clear victory’ for the Muslims
After the treaty, with this new pact of peace, many people began accepting Islam.
The Prophet sent envoys to the Emperor of Rome, the Qaysar of Persia, the Aziz of Egypt, the Negus of
Abyssinia and the Arab chiefs, inviting them to embrace Islam.
When news of the Jews of Khaibar reached the Prophet that they intended to destroy the Muslims in a final effort
the Prophet SAAW met them at their fortresses with a 1600 men army. The Muslims defeated them.
The Treaty of Hudaiybiah was broken when the Banu Bakr tribe, allies of the Quraysh, slaughtered a group of
people from the Banu Khuza’ah, allies of the Muslims.
The Prophet heard of this attack and made secret preparations to conquer Mecca.
He assembled a 10,000 man army and marched to Mecca. The army camped outside of Mecca and Abu Sufyan
went to visit the Prophet. Abbas took Abu Sufyan to the Prophet and after talking to the Prophet, he accepted
Islam.
The next day, the Prophet and all the Muslims walked peacefully into Mecca and forgave all the people. Only a
handful of Meccans left, Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl was one of them.
Hind, the one who mutilated Hamza, accepted Islam.
The Prophet SAAW purified the sacred House of Allah (Ka'ba) removing all its 360 idols and stones,
reciting "Truth has come and Falsehood vanished and no more shall falsehood return" (Sahih alBukhari.)
After the conquest of Makkah, people in every part of the land were leaving idol-worshipping and
entering the peaceful fold of Islaam. The two tribes near Mecca refused. The Prophet gathered an army
of 12,000 men including 2000 Makkans and marched out of Makkah towards the valley of Hunain.
After a fierce battle, the Muslims defeated their enemy.
The rising of the new power of Islaam made the Romans jealous and uneasy. The Romans claimed Islam
as a danger so decided that an attack on Arabia was necessary.
The Prophet raised an army of 30,000 soldiers. The army set out on Thursday in the month of Rajab 9
A.H. to encounter a well armed, well disciplined Roman Army. The Muslim army encamped at a place
called Tabook for 20 days. When the Roman army saw the great force their spirits dampened and they
gave up their intention of war.
The Prophet, and 124,000 companions left Madinah for Mecca to perform the Hajj.
The Prophet told his vast audience: "I leave behind amongst you two things. If you should hold fast to it,
you shall be secure from vices and evil ways, i.e. the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of Allah's
Prophet SAAW"
After performing the farewell Hajj, the Prophet left for Madinah. He wanted to say farewell to those
martyrs who had laid down their lives for the cause of Islam. So he went to Uhud and made dua for
those who had achieved martyrdom and everlasting life. After his visit to Uhud our beloved Prophet
visited the cemetery of the Muslims called "Jannatul Baqi" in Madinah and made dua for them.
In the month of Muharram 11 A.H. he fell ill with fever which became worse from day to day.
When the illness became worse he sought permission from his wives to spend his final days in the house
of A’isha.
The last Salaat that he could lead in Jama'at was the Maghrib Salaat and when his health failed him he
directed: "Let Abu Bakr lead the prayer"
The health of our Prophet got worse and while his head was in A’isha’s lap, the greatest leader of
mankind passed away. This was on Monday, 12th Rabiul-Awwal 11A.H.
Fadal bin Abbas, Ali, and Usama gave the body a ghusal (bath) and it was lowered into the grave in the
very apartment of his wife A’isha where he took his last breath.

Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq: First Khalifa












He was two years younger than the prophet (S) and was the first man to accept Islam.
He was the lifelong partner of the prophet (S) and his best friend.
He was rich, so he used his wealth to help those who became Muslim, and freed a lot of Muslim slaves.
He was Prophet Muhammad’s closest companion and his daughter, Aisha (R), was married to the
prophet (S).
He was the Prophet’s companion when he migrated from Mecca to Medinah.
Abu Bakr’s reign as khalifa lasted for a little over two years (27 months) when he passed away at the
age of 63.
The prophet(S) gave him the title Al-Siddiq because he always believed anything the prophet(s) said
without any questioning or doubt. His real name was Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Khahafa.
One of the most important accomplishments he made after the prophet(s) death was when many
Muslims gave up on Islam because of the Prophet’s death, but Abu Bakr with his wisdom, brought them
back to Islam. Another accomplishment was that he compiled the Quran into one book. At the time of
Prophet Mohammad’s death, Quran was written on scattered pieces of paper, rocks and some sahaba
had it memorized. He selected a group of trusted Sahabas to collect those pieces and ordered them to
put every effort to combine them in one book format and place the copy under care of one of the
prophet’s wives, Hafsa RA.
He is one of the ten people who are granted Al-Jannah.
He was mentioned in the Quran as the “second of the two who lay in the cave” in reference to the
migration from Mecca to Medina, thus being one of few who were given direct reference to in the
Quran.
His conversion brought many people to Islam.
He had compassion for slaves, so he purchased eight slaves (four men, four women) and then freed
them. Most of the slaves liberated by Abu Bakr were either women or old and frail men. The father of
Abu Bakr asked him why he didn’t liberate the strong and young slaves who could have been a source
of strength for him. Abu Bakr replied that he was freeing the slaves for the sake of Allah; Abu Bakr said
right after assuming the office of Khalifah, “I have been given the authority over you, and I’m not the
best of you. If I do well, help me, and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth is loyalty and
disregard for truth is treachery. The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his
rights. If God wills, and the strongest of you shall be weak with me until I have rested from him the right
of others, if God wills. Obey me as long as I obey God and his messenger; but if I disobey God and his
messenger, you owe me no obedience”. These words reflect his sincerity towards Islam in particular and
Muslims in general.

He got the name Al-Farooq because he always distinguished between right and wrong.
He was an outspoken, fearless, and determined person.
He accepted Islam in the sixth year of the prophet-hood. He was a good addition to Islam because he
gave Muslims, especially the poor, a lot of support and courage.
Umar’s daughter, Hafsa, was the Prophet’s wife.
He was known for being very humble.
He used to help orphans and widows.
He is one of the ten people who are granted Al-Jannat.
Before Abu-Bakr’s death, Abu Bakr appointed Umar(R) as the Khalifah of the Muslims. All the
Muslims agreed and accepted him as Khalifah, and he ruled for ten years.
One of his great accomplishments was starting the Islamic calendar and starting it from the day of
Hijrah. Muslim rule expanded far and wide during his rule with conquests of Roman and Persian
empires.
Umar assumed the office of Khalifah, the first challenge for Umar was to win over his subjects and
members of Majilis Al-Shura (Advisory Council).
He said: “I will be harsh and stern against the aggressor, but I will be a pillar of strength for the weak. I
will not calm down until I will put one cheek of a tyrant on the ground and the other under my feet and
for the poor and weak, I will put my cheek on the ground.”
There could be no better definition of the democracy and justice than these historic words of Umar over
which he laid foundation of his rule.“By God, the weakest amongst you shall be in my eye and the
strongest until I have brought him his rights and the strongest I will treat as the weakest until he
complies with the law.”
Some judgments given by Umar have become religious rules. Once he asked the Prophet (S) to order
women to wear the hijab, Allah (S) supported his opinion and a Quranic revelation came down ordering
women to wear the hijab.
The Prophet (S) said, “If Umar walks in one way, Satan go the opposite direction,” meaning Satan is
scared of Umar.
The Prophet (S) said, “If there was a divinely inspired man in my nation, it would be Umar.”

He was very kind-hearted and generous, and accepted Islam early by his friend, Abu Bakr (R).
He was rich, but he lives a simple life. He never took a salary for his work as a khalifa. He started
trading at a young age which brought him a lot of wealth which he used it to support Islam and boor.
His major achievement was copying the Quran and circulating the copies to different parts of the
Muslim empire.
They gave him the name of Thun-Nurain, which means “Possessor of the Two Lights”, because he was
married to two of the Prophet’s daughters.
He married Ruqayya RA, and when she died, he married Um-Kalthoum RA.
He is one of the ten people granted Al-Jannat.
He was known as a soft-hearted man, loved reciting Quran, day and night.
He led Muslims for twelve years.

instructions to restore all the owners’ goods and properties that had been entrusted to Muhammad for
safekeeping.
He married the Prophet’s daughter, Fatima Zahra.
He saved the Prophet Muhammad’s life in Battle of Uhud.
Ali fought in almost all the battles with the prophet

Zaynab and Um Kulthum.
He ruled the Muslims for six years. Ali was attacked one morning while worshipping in the mosque (of

(pbuh) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Khadijah is just coming with a bowl of soup for you. When
she comes to you, give her greetings of peace from her Lord and from me, and give her the good
news of a palace of jewels in the Garden, where there will be neither any noise nor any tiredness”.
This shows that Allah SWT was very pleased with Khadija and her ways.

Stories from Quran
People of the Ditch
Read the translation of the Quranic verse (No need to memorize). You need to know which
Surah it is from, understand the Quranic story and the lesson learnt from it.
Allah the Almighty says:
{By the heaven holding the big stars. And by the Promised Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And by the
Witnessing day (i.e. Friday), and by .the Witnessed day (i.e. the Day of 'Arafat (Hajj) the ninth of DhulHijjah].
Cursed were the people of the Ditch (in the story of the Boy and the King). Of fire fed with fuel. When they sat
by it (fire). And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). And they had no
fault except that they believed in Allah, the AllMighty, Worthy of all Praise! To Whom belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. Verily, those who put into trial the believing
men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance (to Allah),
then they will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire}. (Al-Buruj, 110)
It is said that there lived a king in Yemen and he had a court magician. As the magician grew old, he requested
to train a young boy as his protégée. The king sent him a young boy. While on their way, the boy heard a monk
teaching and was impressed by the monk’s words. It became the boy’s habit to pass by the monk and spent
some time listening to his teachings and then leave to the magician late. The magician used to punish him
because of this. It so happened that one day a huge animal came and it blocked the way of the people. The
young boy picked up a stone and said: O Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the
magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone
towards the animal and the animal died. That young man then began to treat the blind, the lepers and other
illnesses When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous
gifts and said: If you cure me, all these gifts would be yours. The boy said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is
Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith
in Allah and Allah cured him. When the king found out about the boy he tortured to the boy who told the king
about the monk. The monk was thus summoned and asked to turn back from his religion. The monk however,
refused to do so. The king killed both the monk and his believing courtier. Then that young boy was brought
and was ordered to turn back from his religion. Upon his refusal, he was handed over to the kings’ men to be
killed by throwing down from a high mountain. The kings’ men made multiple attempts to kill the boy but he
survived. The boy challenged them that the only way to kill him would be to gather all the people in the town
and get an arrow and quiver ready and to say “the name of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.” The boy was killed
when they followed his directions. The people of the town therefore affirmed their faith in Allah SWT. The king
then commanded to dig ditches and lit them with fire and to throw all believers in those ditches. Some scholars
claimed that the incident of the ditch was repeated. It is said that it took place in Yemen, in Constantinople
(present day Istanbul) and Iraq.
This story teaches a believer to be steadfast in their faith and be ready to endure all challenges to stay on the
true path of religion.

The Story of Prophet Yousuf(pbuh)
This is the most detailed and fascinating story in the Quran, involving both human weaknesses such as jealousy,
hatred, pride, cruelty, as well as noble qualities such as patience, loyalty, bravery, and compassion. (Quran) revealed the
completed story mentioned from the beginning till the end in surah Yusuf only. The surah was revealed in the year of sadness,
when the Prophet lost his beloved wife Khadija and Uncle Abu Talib.
Prophet Mohammad describes Yusuf as a handsome man in a hadith, “When I met Yusuf (AS), I saw that Allah (swt) has
blessed him with half of the beauty of the whole world, while the other half has been spread over the rest of it.
The story begins with a dream and ends with its interpretation. Yusuf (pbuh) awoke from his sleep, delighted by a pleasant
dream he had he saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him.
First trial
Yusuf older brothers were jealous of Yusuf’s beauty and the fact that Yusuf is favored by their father than them, they planned to
get rid of him and throw him into a well, so he will be picked up by a passing caravan, who will take him to a distant land. By
their plan Yusuf will disappear from your father's sight. And they will repent to allah for the sin they have commit, and become
a righteous people.
They ask their father’s permission send Yusuf with them, when they take their flock to graze out of the city. Next day they went
directly to the well, as they had planned, on the pretext of drinking water, one of them removed Yusuf’s shirt. Some more
joined in to lift Yusuf up and cast him into the deep well. Then Allah revealed to Yusuf that he was safe and should not fear, for
he would meet them again someday to remind them of what they had done. Then they killed a sheep and soaked Yusuf’s shirt in
its blood.
Deep down in the heart Yacob knew that his beloved son was still alive and that his other sons were lying. He held the blood
stained in his hands, spread it out and remarked: "What a merciful wolf! He ate up my beloved son without tearing his shirt!"
they swore by Allah that he was telling the truth. The brokenhearted father burst into tears, and asks Allah wisely by praying for
mighty patience, which is free of doubt, and by trusting in Allah for help.
A caravan of merchant on its way to Egypt halted at the famous well for water. A man lowered in his bucket, and found a young
boy was clinging to the rope! He saw a healthy, handsome youth, beaming with an angelic smile. Immediately, they clapped
iron shackles on his feet and took him along to Egypt.
All over the Egyptian city the news spread that a handsome, robust young slave was on sale. He was sold in the auction to the
Aziz, the chief minister of Egypt.
Yusuf felt at ease, for at last. He thanked Allah over and over. Not so long ago he had been cast into a deep, dark well with no
hope of ever coming out alive. Next he was rescued, and then enslaved in iron shackles, and now he was moving freely in a
luxurious mansion with enough food to enjoy. However, his heart ached with longing for his parents and Brother Benjamin.
The Second Trial
His master soon knew that Allah had graced him with Yusuf, he put Yusuf in charge of his household, honored him, and treated
him as a son. Yusuf was obedient and ever-obliging. With his pleasant manners and charming behavior, he won everybody's
heart. Yusuf’s handsomeness became the talk of the town. People referred to him as the most attractive man they had ever seen.
The purity of his inner soul and his heart showed in his face, increasing his beauty. He was given the art of conversation,
captivating who heard him. Allah granted him knowledge of life and its conditions.
The wife of the chief minister, Zulaikha, watched Yusuf from day to day. Talked with him, listened to him, and her wonder
increased over the passion of time. She could not resist the handsome, and her obsession with him caused her sleepless nights.
She fell in love with him. Yet, she was not a wayward woman, for in her position she could get any man she desired. By all
accounts, she must have been a very pretty and intelligent lady, or why would the chief minister have chosen her of all the
pretty women in the kingdom? Although she bore him no child, he would not take another wife, as he loved her passionately.
She waited for time
The Quran raises the curtain on the scene of this fierce and devouring love on the part of the lady. Allah the Almighty told us:
“And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil
act), she closed the doors and said: "come on, O
you." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! Truly he (your husband) is my master! He made my stay agreeable! (So
I will never betray him). Verily, the Zalimun (wrong, evildoers) will never be successful.

Yusuf’s refusal only heightened her passion. As he moved to the door to escape, she ran after him and caught hold of
his shirt, in her tugging she tore his shirt and held the torn piece in her hand. They reached the door together. It opened
suddenly; there stood her husband and a relative of hers.
As he opened the door, he saw her husband standing in front of him. The sly woman immediately changed her tone to anger,
and showing the torn piece of the shirt in her hand, asked her husband: "What is the recompense (punishment) for him who
intended an evil design against your wife, except that he be put in prison or a painful torment?"
She was acting innocent and a victim. Though Joseph denied it, the shirt was passed from hand to hand, while she watched. The
witness (her cousin) looked at it and found that it was torn at the back. The evidence showed that she was guilty. The
disappointed husband remarked to his wife: "Surely, it is a plot of you women! Certainly mighty is you plot!"
The wise and just Aziz apologized to Yusuf for his wife's indecency. He also instructed her to beg Yusuf’s forgiveness for
accusing him falsely.
An incident like this cannot remain a secret in a house filled with servants, and the story spread. They remarked: "The wife of
Al-Aziz is seeking to seduce her (slave) young man, indeed she loves him violently; verily, we see her in plain error."
Naturally their gossip distressed Zulaikha. She honestly believed that it was not easy for any women to resist a man as
handsome as Yusuf. To prove her helplessness, she planned to subject the women to the same temptation she faced. She invited
them to a lavish banquet. The invitation was restricted to ladies. The banquet began, laughter and mirth abounded. Etiquette
dictated that the ladies not mention the topic of Yusuf. They were shocked, therefore, when Zulaikha opened the topic. "I have
heard of those who say I have fallen in love with the young Hebrew man, Yusuf." Silence fell upon the banquet. At once all the
guests hands stopped, and all eyes fell on the chief minister's wife. She said, while giving orders for the fruit to be served: "I
admit that he is charming fellow. I do not deny that I love him. I have loved him for a long time."
The confession of the chief minister's wife removed the tension among the ladies. After finishing their dinner, the
guests began cutting their fruit. At that very moment she summoned Yusuf to make his appearance. He entered the hall
gracefully, his gaze lowered. Zulaikha called him by his name and he raised his head. The guests were astonished. His face was
shining and full of angelic beauty. It reflected complete innocence, so much so that one could feel the peace of mind in the
depth of his soul. They exclaimed in astonishment while continuing to cut the fruit. All their eyes were on Yusuf. So it was that
the women began to cut their palms absent mind without feeling that they had cut them. They exclaim "This is but a noble
angel."
Then the chief minister's wife stood up and announced: "This is the one for whom I have been blamed. I do not deny that I
tempted him. You have been enchanted by Yusuf, and see what has happened to your hands. I have tempted him, and if he does
not do what I want of him he shall be imprisoned. and will be one of those who are disgraced
He said: "O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. Unless You turn away their plot from me, I
will feel inclined towards them and be one of those who commit sin and deserve blame or those who do deeds of the ignorant."
So his Lord answered his invocation and turned away from him their plot. Verily he is the All Hearer, the All Knower”(12:31That evening, Zulaikha convinced her husband that the only way to save her honor was to put Yusuf in prison; so she will
safeguard his prestige. The chief minister knew Yusuf was absolutely innocent, that he was a young man of honor, a loyal
servant, and he loved him for these reasons. However, he was left with no choice. That night, with a heavy heart, the chief
minister sent Yusuf to prison.
Prison was Yusuf’s third test. During this period Allah blessed him with an extraordinary gift; the ability to interpret dreams. In
his stay at prison, he called the people to worship Allah.
One night the king had a dream where, he saw himself on the banks of the Nile River. The water is receding before him,
becoming mere mud. The fish begin to skip and jump in the mud. Seven fat cows come out of the river followed by seven lean
cows. The seven lean ones devour the seven fat ones.
The king awoke frightened, shocked, and depressed; all of his priests and ministers agreed it was only a nightmare.
The news reached a man who was in prison and knew yusuf as the only one capable to interpreting the dream. Yusuf describe it
saying: "There will be seven years of abundance. If the land is properly cultivated, there will be an excess of good harvest, more
than the people will need. This should be stored. Thereafter, seven years of famine will follow, during which time the excess
grain could be used."
He also advised that during the famine they should save some grain to be used for seed for the next harvest. Yusuf then
added; "After seven years of drought, there will be a year during which water will be plentiful. If the water is properly used,
grapevines and olive trees will grow in abundance, providing plenty of grapes and olive oil. The king was greatly astonished.
He commanded that Yusuf be set free from prison and presented to him at once. The king says: you are with us high in rank and
full trusted… Yusuf’s innocence was revealed.
During the seven good years, Yusuf had full control over the cultivation, harvesting, and storage of crops. During the following
seven years, drought followed and famine spread throughout the region, including Canaan, the homeland of Yusuf. Yusuf

25
advised the king that as his kingdom was blessed with reserved grain, he should sell his grain to the needy nations at a fair price.
The king agreed, and the good news spread all over the region.
Yusuf Meets his Brothers
Yacob sent ten of his sons, all except Benjamin, to Egypt to purchase provisions. Yusuf immediately recognized his brothers,
but they did not know him. To them Yusuf no longer existed; he had been thrown into the deep, dark well many years ago!
Yusuf received them warmly. After supplying them with provisions, he asked where they had come from. They explained: "We
are eleven brothers, the children of a noble prophet. The youngest is at home tending to the needs of our aging father."
On hearing this, Yusuf 's eyes filled with tears; his longing for home swelled up in his heart, as well as his longing for
his beloved parents and his loving brother Benjamin. "Are you truthful people?" Yusuf asked them. "If what you say is true
then bring your brother as proof and I will reward you with double rations. But if you do not bring him to me, it would be better
if you do not return," Joseph warned them. They returned to their father and ask permission to take Benjamin with them; he
agreed on condition they gave him a pledge in Allah's name that you shall bring him back to me as safely as you take him. He
then advised them to enter the city through several different gates.
Yusuf talk to Benjamin secretly saying: "I am the brother who was lost. Fate has brought us together after many years of
separation. This is Allah's favor. But let it be a secret between us for the time being". The next day, while their bags were
being filled with grains to load onto the camels, Joseph placed the king's gold cup which was used for measuring the grain into
Benjamin's saddlebag. When the brothers were about to set out, the gates were locked, and they were blamed for the king gold
cup.
The chief officer ordered his soldiers to start searching the caravan. The soldiers reached in their hands and pulled out
the king's cup in Benjamin. Soon they remembered the oath they took with with yacob that they would not betray his son. They
began to beg Yusuf for mercy. “Yusuf, O minister Take one of us instead. He is the son of a good man, and we can see you are
a good man."
Yusuf answered calmly: "How can you want to set free the man who has stolen the king's cup? It would be sinful." The
brothers went on pleading for mercy. However, the guards said that the king had spoken and his word was law.
Yacob was overwhelmed with sorrow and his eyes wept tears. "Patience is with me; perhaps Allah will return all of them to
me.
The father was deeply hurt. Only prayer could comfort him and strengthen his faith and patience. He advises them: "My sons
go in search of Yusuf and his brother; do not despair of Allah's mercy."
They returned to Yusuf, begging him. And asked alms of him, appealing to his heart, in the midst of their plight, Yusuf spoke
to them in their native tongue saying: "Do you know what you did with Yusuf and his brother when you were ignorant?"
They admitted Allah had favored him with piety and knowledge. The brothers began to tremble with fear, but Yusuf comforted
them, he advised his brothers to take his shirt and cast it over his father face, he will become clear sighted, and bring him and
all my family. And so the caravan headed back for Palestine. Yacob told his family: "I can smell Yusuf in the air." When the
caravan arrived, they gave Yacoub the shirt and subhan Allah his sight returned.
The Interpretation of the Dream
The story began with a dream and it ends with the interpretation of the dream.
Then, when they entered unto Yusuf, he betook his parents to himself and said: "Enter Egypt, if Allah will, in security."
And he raised his parents to the throne and they fell down before him prostrate. And he said: "O my father! This is the
interpretation of my dream of old! My Lord has made it come true! He was indeed good to me, when He took me out of prison,
and brought you all here out of the Bedouin life, after Satan had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Certainly, my Lord
is the Most Courteous and Kind unto whom He will. Truly He! Only He is the All Knowing, the All-Wise." (12:98-100)
Yusuf’s story is the only story of the prophets’ stories mentioned from the beginning till the end in one surah which is surat
Yusuf. The story of Yusuf (pbuh) moves in a stream from beginning to end; It inspires you with a feeling for the depth of
Allah's power and supremacy and the execution of His rulings despite the challenge of human intervention.
