Titled : The Prodigious Understanding Of 'Ali bn Abi Talib

A woman gave birth to a child only six months after she got married; obviously, however, most women only give birth after nine months, or if the case is really premature, after seven months.
People began to become suspicious thinking that the child was not that of her husband, but of a man whom she had relations prior  to her marriage.

They took her to the Caliph, so that she could receive her punishment. The caliph at that time was 'Uthman bn 'Affan
(May Allah be pleased with him). When they went to him, they found 'Ali bn Abi Talib to be in his company , and he ('Ali) was 'Uthman's judge.

'Ali said : "You have no rights to punish her for this reason".
They were surprised and asked "how is that?" He recited to them two verses :
وحملهۥ وفصلهۥ ثلثون شهرا

"And the bearing of him, and the weaning of him is (30) months".
Qur'an 46 Verse 15

(This means that the period of Pregnancy and the period of breast-feeding is a total of 30 months.)
والولدت يرضعن اولدهن حولين كاملين

"The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years."
Qur'an 2 Verse 233

(This means that the period of breast-feeding is two years- in other words, 24 months.)

Then 'Ali said "It is possible, therefore, for the period of pregnancy to be six months only." And thus was the woman saved from stoning.

MORAL LESSONS :

It is very Important to be have the Understanding of the religion in order to pass critical judgements or rulings. The religion isn't what you think can be, there are laid down rules from Allah and traditions of His noble prophet and sometimes analogies that we can make use of in order to give rulings. May Allah preserve the Scholars of Islam upon Knowledge and goodness. Aameen

The Virtues Of Patience

💎 DREAM DA'WAH NETWORK💎 

Presents : The Virtues of Patience 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
الحمد لله و الصلاة و السلام على رسول الله و على آله و اصحابه و من اهتدى بهداهم و بعد:
Allaah has made patience like a horse that never gets tired, an army that can never be defeated and a strong fortress that can never be breached. Patience and victory are twin brothers, for victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress and ease comes with hardship. Patience is of more help to the one who has it than men, as it helps without any need for equipment or numbers and its relationship to victory is like that of the head to the body.
In the Qur’aan, Allaah has guaranteed those who are patient that He will give them reward without measure.
He tells them that He is with them by guiding and supporting them and granting them a clear victory.
 Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):                                                                    “Surely, Allaah is with those who are As‑Saabiroon (the patient)” [al-Anfaal 6:46]

Allaah has made leadership in terms of religion conditional upon patience and certain faith, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 
  “And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)” [al-Sajdah 32:34]
Allaah tells us that patience is better for those who are patient, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“But if you endure patiently, verily, it is better for As‑Saabiroon (the patient)” [al-Nahl 16:126]

Allaah tells us if we are patient and pious, the plot of the enemy cannot do any harm, even if he is powerful, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious), not the least harm will their cunning do to you.Surely, Allaah surrounds all that they do”          [Aal ‘Imraan 3:120]

Allaah tells us that the patience and piety of his Prophet Yoosuf brought him to a position of power and strength, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

 “Verily, he who fears Allaah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allaah makes not the reward of the Muhsinoon (good‑doers)to be lost” [Yoosuf 12:90]

Allaah has connected success to patience and piety, and the believers understand that.

 Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! Endure and be more patient (than your enemy), and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allaah, so that you may be successful”                               [Aal ‘Imraan 3:200]

Allaah has given glad tidings of three things to those who are patient, each of which is better than that for which the people of this world envy one another. 
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

155. “but give glad tidings to As‑ Saabiroon (the patient).

156. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: ‘Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.’

157. They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones” [al-Baqarah 2:155-157]

Allaah exhorts His slaves to seek help with patience and prayer when facing calamities that may befall a person. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And seek help in patience and As-Salaah (the prayer) and truly, it is extremely heavy and hard except for Al-Khaashi‘oon [i.e. the true believers in Allaah — those who obey Allaah with full submission, fear much from His punishment, and believe in His Promise (Paradise) and in His Warnings (Hell)]” [al-Baqarah 2:45]

Allaah states that the victory of attaining Paradise and being saved from Hell will be won only by those who arepatient, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Verily, I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful” [al-Mu’minoon 23:111]

Allaah tells us that the desire to earn His reward and to turn away from this world and its adornments is attained only by those who are patient and are believers. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“But those who had been given (religious) knowledge said: “Woe to you! The reward of Allaah (in the Hereafter)is better for those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and this none shall attain except those who are As‑Saabiroon (the patient in following the truth)” [al-Qasas 28:80]

Patience is the foundation of the believer’s faith which has no other foundation. The one who has no patience has no faith, and if he has any, then it is only a little faith and it is very weak, and such a person worships Allaah as it were upon the edge (i.e. in doubt): if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter ( al-Hajj 22:11). All he gets from them is a losing deal.

With regard to the ahaadeeth which speak of the virtue of patience, they include the following:

Al-Bukhaari (1496) and Muslim (1053) narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “…whoever is patient Allaah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience.” And Muslim (918) narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (S) say: “There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and says what Allaah has enjoined – ‘Verily to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allaah, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better’ – but Allaah will compensate him with something better.”

And Muslim (2999) narrated that Suhayb (may Allaah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affairs are all good, and this applies to no one but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him. If something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him.”

‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Allaah has not bestowed any blessing upon His slaves then taken it away and replaced it with patience, but what He has compensated them with is better than what He has taken away.

May Allah grant us patience in times of hardship, May He grant us goodness and forgive our Shortcomings.
