And who is better in judgment than <strong>Al</strong>lah for a people<br />

who have firm faith.<br />

Who is more just in decision than <strong>Al</strong>lah for those<br />

who comprehend <strong>Al</strong>lah's Law, believe in Him, who<br />

are certain that <strong>Al</strong>lah is the best among those<br />

who give decisions and that He is more merciful<br />

with His creation than the mother with her own<br />

child <strong>Al</strong>lah has perfect knowledge <strong>of</strong> everything, is<br />

able <strong>to</strong> do all things, and He is just in all matters.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>-Hafiz Abu <strong>Al</strong>-Qasim At-Tabarani recorded that Ibn<br />

Abbas said that the Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah said,<br />

أَبْغَضُ‏ الن َّاسِ‏ إِلَى االلهِ‏ عَز َّ وَجَل َّ،‏ مَنْ‏ یَبْتَغِي فِي الْإِسْلَامِ‏ سُن َّةَ‏<br />

الْجَاهِلِي َّةِ،‏ وَطَالِبُ‏ دَمِ‏ امْرِىءٍ‏ بِغَيْرِ‏ حَقَ‏ لِيُرِیقَ‏ دَمَه<br />

<strong>The</strong> most hated person <strong>to</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah is the Muslim who<br />

seeks the ways <strong>of</strong> the days <strong>of</strong> ignorance and he<br />

who seeks <strong>to</strong> shed the blood <strong>of</strong> a person without<br />

justification.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>-Bukhari recorded Abu <strong>Al</strong>-Yaman narrating a<br />

similar Hadith, with some addition.<br />

یَأَی ُّهَا ال َّذِینَ‏ ءَامَنُواْ‏ لاَ‏ تَت َّخِذُواْ‏ الْيَهُودَ‏ وَالن َّصَرَى أَوْلِيَآءَ‏<br />

بَعْضُهُمْ‏ أَوْلِيَآءُ‏ بَعْضٍ‏ وَمَن یَتَوَل َّهُمْ‏ م ِّنكُمْ‏ فَإِن َّهُ‏ مِنْهُمْ‏<br />

5:51 O you who believe! Do not take friends from<br />

the Jews and the Christians, as they are but friends<br />

<strong>of</strong> each other. And if any among you befriends<br />

them, then surely, he is one <strong>of</strong> them.<br />

إِن َّ الل َّهَ‏ لاَ‏ یَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ‏ الظ َّلِمِي ‏َن<br />

Verily, <strong>Al</strong>lah guides not those people who are the<br />

wrongdoers.<br />
