The Policy of Managing Interests

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

Indeed, God has prescribed excellence in all things 

Muslim narrated in his Sahih:

Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated to us, Ismail Ibn Ulayyah narrated to us, from Khalid al-Hadhdha, from Abi Qilabah, from Abi al-Ash'ath, from Shaddad bin Aws, who said:

I memorized two things from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: "Indeed, God has prescribed excellence in all things, so if you kill, then do the killing well, and if you slaughter, then do the slaughter well, and let one of you sharpen his blade and let him give rest to his sacrifice."

And Yahya bin Yahya narrated to us, Hushaim narrated to us, and Ishaq bin Ibrahim narrated to us, Abdul Wahhab al-Thaqafi informed us, and Abu Bakr bin Nafi narrated to us, Ghundar narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, and Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman al-Darimi narrated to us, Muhammad bin Yusuf narrated to us, from Sufyan, and Ishaq bin Ibrahim narrated to us, Jarir informed us, from Mansour, all of these from Khalid al-Hadhdha with the chain of narration of the hadith of Ibn Ulayyah and the meaning of his hadith

It is stated in the book Sharh al-Nawawi ala Muslim:

The saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him: (Indeed, God has prescribed excellence in all things, so if you kill, then do the killing well, and if you slaughter, then do the slaughter well, and let one of you sharpen his blade and let him give rest to his sacrifice)

As for (al-Qitlah), it is with a kasrah on the qaf, which is the form and the state, and as for his saying, peace and blessings of God be upon him: (then do the slaughter well), it occurred in many or most copies (then do the slaughter well) with a fatha on the dhal without a ha, and in some of them (al-Dhibhah) with a kasrah on the dhal and with the ha like al-Qitlah, which is also the form and the state.

His saying, peace and blessings of God be upon him: (and let him sharpen) is with a dammah on the ya, it is said: ahadda al-sikkin and haddadaha and ista haddaha with the same meaning, and let him give rest to his sacrifice, by sharpening the knife and hastening its passing and other than that, and it is recommended not to sharpen the knife in the presence of the sacrifice, and not to slaughter one in the presence of another, and not to drag it to its slaughter place. And his saying, peace and blessings of God be upon him: (then do the killing well) is general in every slain from the sacrifices, and the killing in retribution, and in hadd and the like. And this hadith is one of the hadiths that encompass the rules of Islam. And God knows best.

Dear listeners:

Indeed, it is a hadith from the comprehensive words, as it urges excellence in everything, it includes excellence in fulfilling the interests of people, so the speed of completing the interests of the person with the interest, and completing it in the best way is the goal of every person with an interest. This is the intended excellence in fulfilling interests, so the policy of managing interests in the state must be based on:

First: Simplicity in the system, because it leads to ease and convenience, while complexity leads to difficulty and hardship for people 

Second: Speeding up the completion of transactions because it leads to facilitating the person with the interest 

Third: Ability and sufficiency in those to whom the work is assigned, this is required by excellence in work as required by performing the work itself. 

O you who long for liberation from oppressive regimes, and aspire to a life free from hardship and trouble in managing your interests, here is the divine system that guarantees you these goals before your eyes and within your reach, and all you have to do is work with the workers to restore the caliphate that will apply to you the great system of Islam, the guarantor of the stability of your life, and the facilitation of your interests. So what are you waiting for?

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?

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

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.
