"THE WORLD IS

CARRION"

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"The world is jeefah (carrion). He who intends (desires) it, should be contented to associate with dogs."

"A Caller (an Angel) calls: "Leave the dunya for its people (those who hanker after it); leave the dunya for its people; leave the dunya for its people. The one who takes from the dunya more than what suffices for him, takes jeefah.‖

It was revealed to Dawood (alayhis salaam): "The example of the world is like jeefah (carrion) on which dogs gather to drag it."

Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) said:

"Huqooqul Ibaad (the Rights of People) are of utmost importance and gravity. A man came here with the intention of Ta‟leem and Talqeen (That is, for self-reformation and spiritual progress). I asked him about the arrangement he has made for his wife during his planned absence. He said that she is presently staying with her parents.

Later it transpired that there was discord between them, hence she left to stay with her parents, and that she is insisting on Talaaq. I then said to this person: "Since she insists on Talaaq, why are you imprisoning her? It is imperative to resolve this issue. If she refuses to live with you, then issue Talaaq (as she insists). Go and issue Talaaq, then come." He went back home. After resolving the issue with Talaaq which she demanded, he returned. Now he was able to engage himself in the objective with peace of mind."

After all, the brains logical strides and inventions, which produce these inventhey lack the intelligence for recognizing their Creator. They are bereft of true intelligence. They are lost in materialism, having forgotten Allah Ta‟ala and the Aakhirat.

AMR BIL MA'ROOF

Hadhrat Jaabir Bin Abdullah (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ―When people do not prevent sins (being committed in their midst) despite the ability to do so, then Allah Ta'ala will overtake them with Punishment even before their death.‖ Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Allah Ta‟ala will inflict widespread punishment on a nation that abstains from Amr Bil Ma‟roof Nahy Anil Munkar despite having the ability to do so."

When the Aam Athaab (universal punishment) arrives, it will take all people in its path. Warning us of this reality, the Qur‟aan Majeed states:

―Beware of such a punishment which will befall not only the transgressors among you.‖ It will take in its grasp even the sincere Buzrugs who, despite their sincerity, had been complacent and had socialized and fraternized with the flagrant transgressors. This is a dire warning for the Ulama.

CALAMITIES

Hadhrat Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (Rahmatullah alayh) said: ―Allah Ta'ala constantly involves His Mu'min servant with calamities until he walks about sinless.‖ He bears all the calamities without complaint. He focuses more on Allah Ta‟ala, repenting and supplicating. With his Sabr, Allah Ta‟ala effaces all his sins.

WHEN GIVING

LOANS…

Due to the volatile fluctuations It is therefore, best when giving of currencies (the South African rand included) caused by massive corruption of officialdom and political factors, currencies are becoming incrementally emaciated. It appears that even the South African rand is moving into the orbit of the Zimbabwean dollar (which is a non-existing/phantom currency).

large sums as loans to deal with gold coins. Physically give the loan with gold coins, and stipulate that the loan has to be repaid with an equal number of gold coins. After the coins have been handed to the debtor, he may encash it for whatever currency he desires.

Makrooh is a detestable act/ practice regardless of the Fiqhi technical classification of Makrooh Tanzeehi.

The permanent Sunnah practice is Waajib irrespective of the technical categories to which the Fuqaha have assigned the ahkaam. Ibnul Mulaqqeen states in his Al- I'laamu bi Fawaaid Umdatil Ahkaam:

―From the Hadith is gained the difference between Tanzeeh and Tahreem prohibition….And that (difference) in the Urf of the Sahaabah is related to Ilm. However, with regard to amal (practice), they did not differentiate in it. But they would totally abstain from Makrooh Tanzeehi and Tahreemi. Whoever has investigated their actions, statements and the principles of the Shariah will find the issue to be so.‖ Vol.4, page 468

Explicit prohibition is not reliant on explicit words. The explicit Sunnah method is in fact adequate for the explicit prohibition of the method/ style which is at variance or in conflict with the teaching of the Shariah.

Persistence in Makrooh Tanzeehi is abominable and never permissible. It is the Waajib obligation of a Muslim to adhere to the Sunnah in the way understood and practiced by the Sahaabah.

MAKROOH TAHREEMI
