A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

(the freed slave of 'Umar bin 'Ubaidullah) I was Umar's clerk. Once Abdullah bin Abi Aufa wrote a letter to
'Umar when he proceeded to Al-Haruriya. I read in it that Allah's Apostle in one of his military expeditions
against the enemy, waited till the sun declined and then he got up amongst the people saying O people! Do not
wish to meet the enemy, and ask Allah for safety, but when you face the enemy, be patient, and remember that
Paradise is under the shades of swords.", " Then he said, "O Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book, and the
Mover of the clouds and the Defeater of the clans, defeat them, and grant us victory over them."
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4597:
It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said on
the day of the Conquest of Mecca: There is no Hijra now, but (only) Jihad (fighting for the cause of Islam) and
sincerity of purpose (have great reward) ; when you are asked to set out (on an expedition undertaken for Islam)
you should (readily) do so.
Bukhari 4. 79: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
On the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) the Prophet said, "There is no emigration after the Conquest but Jihad
and intentions. When you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately." (See Hadith No.
42)
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4626:
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace upon him) said:
Allah has undertaken to look after the affairs of one who goes out to fight in His way believing in Him and
affirming the truth of His Apostles. He is committed to His care that He will either admit him to Paradise or
bring him back to his home from where he set out with a reward or (his share of) booty. …By, the Being in
Whose Hand is Muhammad's life, if it were not to be too hard upon the Muslims. I would not lag behind any
expedition which is going to fight in the cause of Allah. But I do not have abundant means to provide them (the
Mujahids) with riding beasts, nor have they (i. e. all of them) abundant means (to provide themselves with all
the means of Jihad) so that they could he left behind. By the Being in Whose Hand is Muhammad, I love to
fight in the way of Allah and be killed, to fight and again be killed and to fight again and be killed.
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4652:
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id Khudri that a man came to the Holy Prophet (may peace he
upon him) and said: Who is the best of men? He replied: A man who fights in the way of Allah spending his
wealth and staking his life. The man then asked: Who is next to him (in excellence)? He said: Next to him is a
believer who lives in a mountain gorge worshipping hid Lord and sparing men from his mischief.
Bukhari 4.177: Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind
which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Bukhari 4.180: Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The Hour will not be established till you fight with people wearing shoes made of hair. And
the Hour will not be established till you fight with people whose faces look like shields coated with leather. "
(Abu Huraira added, "They will be small-eyed, flat nosed, and their faces will look like shields coated with
leather.")
(The text note says these people are the Turks).
Bukhari 4.355: Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
A Bedouin asked the Prophet, "A man may fight for the sake of booty, and another may fight so that he may be
mentioned by the people, and a third may fight to show his position (i.e. bravery); which of these regarded as
fighting in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be
superior, fights for Allah's Cause."
Bukhari 4. 41: Narrated Abdullah bin Masud:
I asked Allah's Apostle, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their
early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your
parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did
not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.
