4845 Cf. ii. 10. The disease is hypocrisy, disloyalty to the Cause, want of courage and of the spirit of self-sacrifice, want of<br />

true understanding. (47.20)<br />

47:29 - Or do those in whose hearts is a disease think that Allah will not bring to light all their<br />

rancor? 4853<br />

74:31 - And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number<br />

only as a trial for Unbelievers in order that the people of the Book may arrive at certainty and<br />

the Believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book<br />

and the Believers and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say<br />

"What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth<br />

and guide whom He pleaseth; and none can know the forces of the Lord except He and this is<br />

no other than a warning to mankind. 5794579557965797<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 4.6<br />

Using Prohibited Things As Medicine<br />

The majority of scholars hold that the use of wine and other prohibited things as medicine, is unlawful. They base their<br />

arguments on the following hadith:<br />

DISCOURSE:<br />

6:68 - When thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our Signs turn away from them<br />

unless they turn to a different theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget then after recollection<br />

sit not thou in the company of the ungodly. 891<br />

891 Cf. iv. 140. If in any gathering truth is ridiculed, we must not sit in such company. If we find ourselves in it, as soon as<br />

we realize it, we must show our disapproval by leaving. (6.68)<br />

Maududi Sura Introductions<br />

Surah 3. Al-i'Imran<br />

See Section<br />

The Period of Revelation<br />

This Surah consists of four discourses. The first discourse (vv. 1-32) was probably revealed soon after the Battle of Badr. The<br />

second discourse (vv. 33-63) was revealed in 9 A.H. on the occasion of the visit of the deputation from the Christians of<br />

Najran. The third discourse (vv. 64-120) appears to have been revealed immediately after the first one. The fourth discourse<br />

(vv. 121-200) was revealed after the Battle of Uhud.<br />

DISLOYALTY:<br />

4:34 - … Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more<br />

(strength) than the other and because they support them from their means. Therefore the<br />

righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah<br />

would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct<br />

admonish them (first) (next) refuse to share their beds (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they<br />

return to obedience seek not against them means (of annoyance): for Allah is Most High Great<br />

(above you all). 545546547548<br />

547 In case of family jars four steps are mentioned, to be taken in that order: (1) perhaps verbal advice or admonition may<br />

be sufficient; (2) if not, sex relations may be suspended; (3) if this is not sufficient, some slight physical correction may<br />

be administered: but Imam Shafii considers this inadvisable, though permissible, and all authorities are unanimous in<br />

deprecating any sort of cruelty, even of the nagging kind, as mentioned in the next clause; (4) if all this fails, a family<br />

council is recommended in iv. 35 below. (4.34)<br />

DISPOSER:<br />

3:173 - Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": and frightened them: but it (only)<br />

increased their faith. They said: "For us Allah sufficeth and He is the best disposer of affairs."<br />

4:81 - They have "Obedience" on their lips; but when they leave thee a section of them meditate all<br />

night on things very different from what thou tellest them but Allah records their nightly (plots):<br />
