1 – HALÂL, HARÂM, and the DOUBTFUL This chapter is the translation of an excerpt borrowed from the fourth chapter of the second part of Kimyâ-i-se’âdet: Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ stated: “It is farz for, (i.e. incumbent upon,) every Muslim to earn (a living) by way of halâl.” Earning by way of halâl, in its turn, requires learning what is halâl. Halâls and harâms are known clearly. What is difficult to know is the doubtful area between the two. A person who fails to avoid the doubtful will fall into harâms. This subject, therefore, should cover an extensive area of knowledge to impart. We have provided detailed information in our book entitled Ihyâ-ul-’ulûm. In this chapter we will briefly dwell on some salient points of sweeping generality, arranging them in four articles. [Three of those four articles are given in this chapter.] 1– Merits of earning by way of halâl, and thawâb for doing so: The fifty-second [52] âyat-i-kerîma of Mu’minûn Sûra purports: “O My Prophets ‘salawâtullâhi ’alaihim ajma’în’. Eat what is pure and halâl and worship Me in due manner!” For this reason, Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ stated: “It is farz for every Muslim to earn by way of halâl.” At another occasion the Most Blessed Prophet stated: “If a person eats (only) whatsoever is halâl without mixing any harâm with it for forty days running, Allâhu ta’âlâ will fill his heart with nûr (spiritual lights). He will make Hikmat flow like rivers into his heart. He will remove worldly love from his heart.” [It is not sinful to work in order to earn what is worldly. What is sinful is to love what is worldly and to attach one’s heart to the world.] Sa’d bin Abî Waqqâs ‘radiy- Allâhu ’anh’, (a Sahâbî, the seventh earliest Muslim, and one of those most fortunate ten Muslims who are called the ’Ashara-imubash-shara because they were given the glad tidings that they would enter Paradise after death,) one day entreated: “Yâ Rasûlallah (O Messenger of Allah)! Please invoke a blessing on me so that Allâhu ta’âlâ will accept all my prayers!” The following hadîth-i-sherîf contains the reply of the Best of Mankind: “Consume food only if it is halâl, so that your prayers will be accepted!” Another hadîth-i-sherîf reads: “There are many people who eat food that is harâm and wear clothes that are harâm. And it is those very people who raise their hands and say prayers. How could prayers of that sort ever be acceptable?” At another occasion our Blessed Prophet stated: “Consumers of food that is harâm shall find no acceptance for their acts of – 5 –
