062.009 O ye who believe! When <strong>the</strong> call is heard for <strong>the</strong> prayer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day<br />
<strong>of</strong> congregation, haste unto remembrance <strong>of</strong> Allah and leave your trading.<br />
That is better for you if ye did but know.<br />
This verse proves that adhan was already established but no where in <strong>the</strong><br />
Qur’an does it mention to establish adhan nor does it make any mention<br />
when it was established.<br />
From <strong>the</strong> above we learn that <strong>the</strong> Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him<br />
and grant him peace) must have received revelation o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> verses <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Qur’an informing him to establish <strong>the</strong> call to prayer. You will be<br />
interested to know that <strong>the</strong> order <strong>of</strong> adhan has been mentioned in <strong>the</strong> hadith.<br />
This is only one simple, example which stresses <strong>the</strong> need and importance <strong>of</strong><br />
hadith, so eventually <strong>the</strong> Muslim ummah has to turn to <strong>the</strong> hadiths in order<br />
to practice and follow <strong>the</strong>ir din comprehensively.<br />
Janaaza (Funeral Prayer)<br />
Nowhere in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an is it commanded to perform a janaaza (funeral)<br />
prayer when someone passes away. However, during <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> Rasulullah<br />
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) if anyone died, he ( may Allah<br />
bless him and grant him peace) would always perform a Janaaza for <strong>the</strong><br />
deceased. Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) also used to<br />
pray for <strong>the</strong> hypocrites (that Allah may forgive <strong>the</strong> m), but later, verse was<br />
revealed commanding Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him<br />
peace) not to pray for <strong>the</strong> hypocrites. As Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an,<br />
009.084 And never (O Muhammad) pray for one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m who dieth, nor<br />
stand by his grave. Lo! <strong>the</strong>y disbelieved in Allah and His messenger, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>y died while <strong>the</strong>y were evil-doers.<br />
From this verse we learn that Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him<br />
peace) was commanded not to pray for <strong>the</strong> hypocrites, despite <strong>the</strong>ir being no<br />
comman in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an to read this prayer. Clearly, <strong>the</strong> Prophet Muhammad<br />
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace ) was commanded elsewhere to<br />
pray this prayer o<strong>the</strong>rwise he himself would not start this pratcise without<br />
any instruction from Allah Azawajaul.<br />
