wealth, but that is a scramble for things as between selfish men. Power or wealth does not create new men or new<br />

worlds. (3) Have they a share in the ordering of the heavens? Obviously your false gods fail there. (4) Or have these<br />

false gods a book or revelation from the Supreme God, with clear evidence, to give them authority to teach men? The<br />

Prophets or Messengers of Allah have such authority, and they bringevidence of the One True God. The fact is that<br />

falsehood is falsehood, however much one form of it may support another by delusions. (35.40)<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 578<br />

Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As<br />

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) mentioned prayer one day and said: He who observes it constantly, it will serve for him<br />

as a light, as (burhan), an evidence, and (as a means of) salvation on the Day of Resurrection. He who does not observe it<br />

constantly, it will not serve for him as a light, as an evidence, and (as a means of) salvation on the Day of Resurrection, and<br />

he will be with Qarun, Pharaoh, Haman and Ubayy ibn Khalaf.<br />

Transmitted by Ahmad, Darimi, and Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman transmitted it.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 3269 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Abbas<br />

Two men brought their dispute to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him)<br />

asked the plaintiff to produce evidence, but he had no evidence. So he asked the defendant to swear. He<br />

swore by Allah "There is no god but He." The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Yes, you have<br />

done it, but you have been forgiven for the sincerity of the statement: "There is no god but Allah."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 2.151<br />

Prayer before or after salatul 'id<br />

It is not established that there is any sunnah prayer before or after the 'id prayer. The Prophet never performed any such<br />

prayer, neither did his companions upon arrival at the musalla (prayer place).<br />

Ibn 'Abbas reports: "The Messenger of Allah went out to the site of the 'id prayer and prayed two rak'at [i.e., the 'id prayer]<br />

without praying anything before or after it." This is related by the group.<br />

It is reported that Ibn 'Umar did the same and he stated that this was the practice of the Prophet.<br />

Al-Bukhari records that Ibn 'Abbas disliked that one should perform a prayer before salatul 'id. Concerning voluntary prayers<br />

at such a time, Ibn Hajar has stated in Fath al-Bari that there is no evidence to show that it is not allowed, unless it is at the<br />

times in which it is disliked to pray on any day.<br />

EVIL:<br />

3:175 - It is only the Evil One that suggests to you the fear of his votaries: be ye not afraid of them<br />

but fear Me if ye have faith.<br />

4:31 - If ye (but) eschew the most heinous of the things which ye are forbidden to do We shall<br />

expel out of you all the evil in you and admit you to a Gate of great honor.<br />

4:38 - (Nor) those who spend of their substance to be seen of men but have no faith in Allah and the<br />

Last Day: if any take the Evil One for their intimate what a dreadful intimate he is! 557<br />

4:51 - Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? They believe<br />

in sorcery and evil and say to the unbelievers that they are better guided in the (right) way<br />

than the believers! 572573<br />

573 The word I have translated Sorcery is jibt, which may mean divination, sorcery, magic, or any false object of belief or<br />

worship, such as an idol. The word I have translated Evil (here and in ii. 256) is Taguit, which means the evil one, the<br />

one who exceeds all bounds, Satan: or it may refer to some idol worshipped by the Pagan Arabs, with whom the Jews<br />

of Madinah were intriguing against the Holy Prophet. The Jews had taken much to sorcery, magic, divination, and<br />

such superstitions. (4.51)<br />

4:76 - Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who reject faith fight in the cause of<br />

evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. 594<br />

594 Auliyaa plural of wali, friend, supporter, protector, patron; from the same root as maula, for which see iv. 33, n. 543.<br />
