Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.17<br />

Circumstances in Which the Prayer Has To Be Shortened<br />

Malik said, "Someone who intends to travel does not shorten the prayer until he has left the houses of the village. And he<br />

does not do it in full until he comes to the first houses of the village, or is nearby."<br />

HOUSE OF PERDITION:<br />

14:28 - Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have changed the favor of Allah into<br />

blasphemy and caused their people to descend to the House of Perdition? 1904<br />

1904 There is a particular and a general meaning. The particular meaning is understood to be a reference to the Makkan<br />

Pagans who turned the House of Allah into a place for the worship of horrible idols and the practice of unseemly rites<br />

and cults. There is no real difficulty in accepting this as part of a late Makkan Sura even without supposing it to be a<br />

prophecy. The Makkan Pagans had turned Religion into a blasphemous superstition, and were misguiding their<br />

people, persecuting the true Messenger of Allah and all who followed his teaching. Their cup of iniquity seemed about<br />

full, and they seemed to be heading to perdition, as later events indeed showed to be the case. The general meaning<br />

is also clear. Selfish men, when they seize power, want worship for themselves or their Phantasies, in derogation of<br />

the true God. Power, which should have been an instrument of good, becomes in their hands an instrument of evil.<br />

They and their people rush headlong to perdition. "These be thy gods, 0 Israel!" has been a cry repeated again and<br />

again in history, in the face, or at the back, of men of God! (14.28)<br />

11:63 - He said: "O my people! Do ye see? if I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent<br />

Mercy unto me from Himself who then can help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him?<br />

What then would ye add to my (portion) but perdition? 1559<br />

1559 "Allah has been good to me and bestowed on me His light and the inestimable privilege of carrying His mission to you.<br />

Don't you see that if I fail to carry out his mission, I shall have to answer before Him? Who can help me in that case?<br />

The only thing which you can add to may misfortunes would be total perdition in the Hereafter." Cf. xi. 28. (11.63)<br />

42:45 - And thou wilt see them brought forward to the (Penalty) in a humble frame of mind because<br />

of (their) disgrace (and) looking with a stealthy glance. And the Believers will say: "Those are<br />

indeed in loss who have given the perdition their own selves and those belonging to them on<br />

the Day of Judgement. Behold! truly the wrongdoers are in a lasting Penalty!" 45884589<br />

4588 They were very arrogant in their probationary life. Now they will be humbled to the dust. And they will be in utter<br />

despair and misery. They will not be able to see the favours and good things of the other life (Cf. xx. 124-126). Even<br />

their misery, which will face them as a terrible Reality, they will only be able to look at askance, so thoroughly cowed<br />

will be their spirit. (42.45)<br />

4589 This will be their thought, and their realised experience: 'after all, any troubles and sorrows, any persecutions and<br />

taunts which they suffered in the life of probation from the enemies of truth, were of no consequence; the real loss was<br />

that revealed at the Judgment at the restoration of true values; the wicked and the arrogant have lost their own souls,<br />

and have brought to perdition all who attached themselves to them and followed their evil ways; and this Penalty is<br />

one that will endure! How much more real it is!' (42.45)<br />

65:9 - Then did they taste the evil result of their conduct and the End of their conduct was<br />

Perdition.<br />

18:52 - One Day He will say "Call on those whom ye thought to be My partners" and they will call<br />

on them but they will not listen to them; and We shall make for them a place of common<br />

perdition. 2397<br />

2397 Some Commentators construe: "And We shall make a partition between them": i.e., the Evil ones will not even be<br />

seen by their misguided followers, much as the latter may go on calling on them. (18.52)<br />
