With the Hadith - O God, support him with the Holy Spirit

With the Hadith

O God, support him with the Holy Spirit

We greet you all, dear listeners, everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith" and we start with the best greeting, so peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you 

Muslim narrated in his Sahih: Amr al-Naqid, Ishaq bin Ibrahim and Ibn Abi Omar, all narrated to us from Sufyan, said: Amr narrated to us Sufyan bin Uyaynah from al-Zuhri from Saeed from Abu Hurairah that Omar passed by Hassan while he was reciting poetry in the mosque, so he glanced at him and said: "I used to recite when there was someone better than you in it." Then he turned to Abu Hurairah and said: "I adjure you by God, did you hear the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: Answer for me, O God, support him with the Holy Spirit?" He said: "O God, yes."

Ishaq bin Ibrahim, Muhammad bin Rafe’ and Abd bin Humaid narrated it to us from Abd al-Razzaq, who told us Ma'mar from al-Zuhri from Ibn al-Musayyib that Hassan said in a circle in which Abu Hurairah was present: "I adjure you by God, O Abu Hurairah, did you hear the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace... and he mentioned the like of it."

It is mentioned in Al-Nawawi's explanation of Muslim:

His saying: (Hassan recited poetry in the mosque with the permission of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace)

In it is the permissibility of reciting poetry in the mosque if it is permissible, and it is desirable if it is in praise of Islam and its people, or in satire of the disbelievers and incitement to fight them, or belittling them, and the like, and such was the poetry of Hassan. And in it is the desirability of praying for whoever says poetry of this kind. And in it is the permissibility of taking revenge on the disbelievers, and it is also permissible on others on its own terms. And the Holy Spirit is Gabriel, may God bless him and grant him peace.

     Dear listeners 

Poetry is one of the media tools that influences public opinion, and the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, exploited it to defend Islam and Muslims, and expose disbelief and disbelievers  

Ahmad narrated in his Musnad: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, who said: Ma'mar told us from al-Zuhri from Abd al-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik from his father that he said to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace: God Almighty has revealed what He has revealed in poetry, so he said: "The believer strives with his sword and his tongue, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, what you throw at them is like the spray of arrows."

It is mentioned in Siyar A'lam al-Nubala': Ibn Sirin said that the poets of the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, were Hassan bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Rawahah, and Ka'b bin Malik. As for Ka'b, he used to mention the war, saying we did and we will do, and he threatened them, and as for Hassan, he used to mention their flaws and their days, and as for Ibn Rawahah, he used to shame them for disbelief, and Daws embraced Islam due to a verse Ka'b said: 

We choose it, and if it spoke, it would say         Their cutters are Daws or Thaqif.

The media is one of the important things for the call and the state, as it has a major role in influencing people, in shaping their tastes and tendencies, and in building their beliefs, concepts and opinions. It was the same in the past and today it is more developed and has a greater impact... The issue of using the media to influence people and then on public opinion in societies has been known since ancient times, and what has changed is only its means. While man used to use various methods of addressing to communicate with others and influence them, so he spoke, narrated, preached, debated, discussed and argued, and refined poetry, so he boasted, praised, satirized, mourned, threatened and challenged... he exploited these methods of addressing in order to influence people and create a public opinion for them on what is raised of issues and what is carried of ideas.

Therefore, the media in the coming Caliphate state will have a special department that reports directly to the Caliph.

That is because the Caliphate state, which is a state carrying a call, needs a distinctive media policy:

1- Present Islam in a strong and influential way that would move people's minds to embrace Islam, study it, and think about it, and facilitate the annexation of Islamic countries to the Caliphate state.

2-  Many media matters are closely related to the state and may not be published without the Caliph's order, which is represented in 

  1. Everything related to military matters, and what is attached to them, such as troop movements, news of victory or defeat, and military industries.

  2.  News of negotiations, reconciliations and debates that take place between the Caliph or his deputies and representatives of the countries of disbelief.

These news items must be directly linked to the Caliph to decide what should be concealed and what should be broadcast and announced. God Almighty says in Surat al-Nisa: {When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have tested it from them (direct).

3- As for news that is not directly related to the state, such as daily news, political, cultural and scientific programs, and global events, it intersects with the point of view on life in some of its parts, and with the state's view of international relations, and yet the state's supervision over it differs from its supervision over the previous two types.  

Accordingly, the media apparatus must contain two main departments:

The first department: its work is direct monitoring of news related to the state, such as military affairs, the war industry, and international relations... so it is not broadcast in the state's media or in private media except after it is presented to the media apparatus.

The second department: specialized in other news, and its monitoring of it is indirect, and the state's media or private media do not need any permission to present it.

The media does not need a license, but anyone who holds the nationality of the Islamic state can establish any media outlet: read, audio, or video. He only needs a "knowledge and news" to inform the media apparatus about the media outlet that he has established... and as we have explained, he needs permission to publish news related to the state. As for other news, he publishes it without prior permission.

The owner of the media outlet is responsible for every media material he publishes, and is held accountable for any legal violation like any other member of the public. 

When the Caliphate state is established, it will issue a law clarifying the broad outlines of the state's media policy in accordance with Sharia rulings, according to which the state will proceed to serve the interests of Islam and Muslims, and build a strong, cohesive Islamic society, adhering to the rope of God, from which goodness emanates, with no place for corrupt ideas or misleading cultures, an Islamic society that rejects its evil and makes its good pure, and glorifies God, Lord of the Worlds. 

Dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we leave you in God's care, 

And peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you

With the Hadith - Do you know who is bankrupt?

With the Hadith

Do you know who is bankrupt?

May Allah greet you, our dear listeners, listeners of the radio of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir. We meet you again with our program "With the Hadith," and the best way to start our episode is with the greeting of Islam, so peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

It is mentioned in Musnad Ahmad - Remainder of the Musnad of the Prolific Narrators - that the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person.

Narrated 'Abd al-Rahman from Zuhair from al-'Ala' from his father from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Do you know who is bankrupt?" They said: "The bankrupt among us, O Messenger of Allah, is the one who has no dirham or goods." He said: "Indeed, the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person. So he will sit, and this one will take from his good deeds, and that one will take from his good deeds, and if his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed to him of sins, their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be thrown into the Fire."

This hadith, like other important hadiths, must be understood and realized. Some people are bankrupt despite their prayers, fasting, and zakat, because they insulted this person, slandered this person, consumed the wealth of this person, shed the blood of this person, and beat this person.

His bankruptcy is that his good deeds, which are his capital, are taken and given to this one and used to pay off that one for the price of his slander, insult, and beating. After his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed, their sins are taken and cast upon him, then he is thrown into the Fire.

When the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked his companions, "Do you know who is bankrupt?" "Do you know" means knowledge and awareness of the inner workings of things. "Do you know" means "Do you really know who is bankrupt?" This confirms the saying of our master Ali, may Allah honor his face: "Wealth and poverty are after the presentation to Allah." When they were asked this question, they answered based on their experiences: "The bankrupt among us is the one who has no dirham or goods." This is the bankrupt in the eyes of the companions of the Messenger of Allah. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: No... HE SAID: "INDEED, THE BANKRUPT OF MY NATION IS THE ONE WHO COMES ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WITH FASTING, PRAYER, AND CHARITY..."

This confirms the saying of our master Umar: "Whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may pray, but it is righteousness," because prayer, fasting, Hajj, and zakat are acts of worship that a person may do with sincerity, or he may do them hypocritically, but the center of gravity is to adhere to the command of Allah.

We ask Allah to keep us steadfast on the truth, and make us of His righteous servants, and replace our bad deeds with good deeds, and not disgrace us on the Day of Presentation to Him, O Allah, Amen.

Our dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we entrust you to Allah, whose deposits are never lost. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

With the Hadith - The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

With the Hadith

The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

We greet you all, dear friends, everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith," and we begin with the best greeting: Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

It was narrated from Buraidah, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Do not call a hypocrite 'Sayyid' (master), for if he is a master, then you have angered your Lord, the Almighty and Sublime." Narrated by Abu Dawood with a Sahih (authentic) chain of narration.

Dear listeners,

Indeed, the best of speech is the word of God Almighty, and the best guidance is the guidance of His Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah, peace and blessings be upon him. Now then,

This noble Hadith guides us on how to deal with the hypocrites we know. The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the only one who knew all the hypocrites by their names, but we can recognize some of them by their characteristics, such as those mentioned in the Quran who perform their obligatory duties lazily and grudgingly, and those who plot against Islam and Muslims, encourage strife, spread corruption on earth, and love to spread immorality by calling for it, protecting it, and nurturing it, and those who tell lies about Islam and Muslims... and others who are characterized by hypocrisy.

Therefore, we must understand what the Sharia (Islamic law) has deemed good and what it has deemed bad, so that we can distinguish the hypocrite from the sincere, and take appropriate action towards them. We should not trust those who do what contradicts the Sharia while pretending to do what they do out of concern for Islam and Muslims. We should not follow them or support them, or even less than that, by describing them as "Sayyid," otherwise God Almighty will be angry with us.

We Muslims must be the most keen people on Islam and Muslims, and not allow any hypocrite an entry point into our religion and our families, as they are among the most dangerous things we may face these days due to their abundance and the multiplicity of their faces. We must use the Sharia scale to measure the actions of those who claim to be Muslims, for Islam protects us from such evildoers.

We ask God to protect our nation from such criminals, and to guide us to the straight path and the correct scale by which we measure people's behavior, so that we stay away from those whom God does not love. Amen.

Dear friends, until we meet you with another prophetic Hadith, we leave you in God's care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
