5444 It would indeed be a great and wonderful bargain to give so little and get so much, if we only knew and understood the<br />

comparative value of things-the sacrifice of our fleeting advantages for forgiveness, the love of Allah, and eternal bliss.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.512 Narrated by<br />

Al Bara<br />

There was revealed: "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah."<br />

(4.95)<br />

The Prophet said, "Call Zaid for me and let him bring the board, the inkpot and the scapula bone (or the scapula bone and the<br />

ink pot)." Then he said, "Write: 'Not equal are those Believers who sit...", and at that time 'Amr bin Um Maktum, the blind man<br />

was sitting behind the Prophet . He said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is your order for me (as regards the above Verse) as I am<br />

a blind man?" So, instead of the above Verse, the following Verse was revealed:<br />

"Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) and those<br />

who strive and fight in the cause of Allah." (4.95)<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 6406<br />

Narrated by<br />

Imran ibn Husayn<br />

AbulAswad reported that Imran asked me: What is your view what the people do today in the world, and<br />

strive for, is it something decreed for them or preordained for them or will their fate in the Hereafter be<br />

determined by the fact that their Prophets brought them teaching which they did not act upon? I said: Of<br />

course, it is something which is predetermined for them and preordained for them. He (further) said: Then,<br />

would it not be an injustice (to punish them)? I felt greatly disturbed about that, and said: Everything is<br />

created by Allah and lies in His Power. He will not be questioned as to what He does, but they will be<br />

questioned. Thereupon he said to me: May Allah have mercy upon you, I only meant to ask you in order to<br />

test your intelligence. Two men of the tribe of Muzaynah came to Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) and<br />

said: Allah's Apostle, what is your opinion? That which the people do in the world and strive for, is<br />

something decreed for them, something preordained for them? And will their fate in the Hereafter be<br />

determined by the fact that their Prophets brought them teachings which they did not act upon and thus they<br />

deserve of punishment? Thereupon, he said: Of course, it happens as it is decreed by Destiny and<br />

preordained for them, and this view is confirmed by this verse of the Book of Allah, the Exalted and<br />

Glorious: "Consider the soul and Him Who made it perfect, then breathed into it its sin and its piety."<br />

(91:8).<br />

Hajj - One of the Best Deeds<br />

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was once asked: "What is the best deed?" He replied: "To have<br />

faith in Allah and His Messenger." The enquirer asked: "What next?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "To strive in the<br />

cause of Allah." "What is the next best thing?" He replied: "Hajj Mabrur (a faultless Hajj that is free of sin and is graced with<br />

Divine acceptance and pleasure)."<br />

Al-Hasan said: "It means that a person after performance of Hajj should desire and be inclined to the life of the Hereafter<br />

rather than the material pleasures of this world." Another report transmitted on sound authority from the Prophet (peace be<br />

upon him) says that a righteous performance of Hajj is crowned by feeding the needy and speaking kind words to men.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4359 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Abbas<br />

The verse "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle, and strive with might<br />

and main for mischief through the land is execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from<br />

opposite side or exile from the land...most merciful" was revealed about polytheists. If any of them repents<br />

before they are arrested, it does not prevent from inflicting on him the prescribed punishment which he<br />

deserves.<br />
