13. Virtue, Destiny, Knowledge, Remembrance of God
32:6219 - Allah's Messenger said: A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are protected for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour. {Apparently these good virtues are sectarian in nature. They do not apply to non-Muslims.}
32:6222 - Allah's Messenger said: The gates of Paradise are opened on two days, Monday and Thursday. And then every servant of Allah is granted pardon except the person in whose heart there is ill will against his brother {fellow Muslim}.
32:6235 - Allah's Messenger said: When a Muslim falls ill his compensation is that his minor sins are obliterated just as leaves fall. {A Muslim’s illness is apparently a blessing to eradicate their sins.}
32:6250 - Allah's Messenger said: A Muslim is the brother of a fellow-Muslim. He should neither commit oppression upon him nor ruin him, and he who meets the need of a brother, Allah would meet his needs, and he who relieved a Muslim from hardship Allah would relieve him from the hardships and he who did not expose the transgressions of a Muslim Allah would conceal his follies on the Day of Resurrection. {Peace, fellowship, support extends only within the brotherhood of Islam. One can then conclude that such traits should not be extended to non-Muslims.}
32:6257 - Allah's Messenger said: A believer is like a brick for another believer, the one supporting the other.
32:6260 - Allah's Messenger said: The believers are like one person; if his head aches, the whole body aches with fever and sleeplessness. {Such verses explain why Muslims regardless of nationality, culture or family would defend other Muslims in other parts of the world by whatever means.}
32:6290 - Allah's Apostle said: O Allah, I make a covenant with Thee. I am a human being and thus for a Muslim whom I give any harm or whom I scold or upon whom I invoke curse or whom I beat, make this a source of blessing to him on the Day of Resurrection. {Muhammad pleads to Allah to forgive any ill-treatment he brought to his followers and in fact to turn those punishments into a blessing for the sufferers.}
32:6325 - Allah's Apostle said: When any one of you fights with his brother (fellow Muslim), he should avoid his face for Allah created Adam in His own image.
32:6332 - A person entering the mosque with arrows with their iron-ends were exposed, is commanded that he should grasp the pointed heads so that these might not do any harm to a Muslim.
33:6393 - Mas'ud reported: Evil one is he who is evil in the womb of his mother and the good one is he who takes lesson from the fate of others. Allah's Messenger said: When forty nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him the shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.
33:6412 - Allah's Messenger said: There was an argument between Adam and Moses. Moses said: Are you that Adam whose lapse caused you to get out of Paradise? Adam said to him: Are you that Moses whom Allah selected for His Messengership, for His conversation and you blame me for an affair which had been ordained for me before I was created? This is how Adam came the better of Moses.
33:6416 - Allah's Messenger said: Allah ordained the measures of quality of the creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, as His Throne was upon water.
33:6422 - Allah's Apostle said: Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit. There would be no escape from it.
33:6423 - There is none born but is created Muslim (to his true nature). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist quite as beasts produce their young with their limbs perfect. {Everyone is born a Muslim but it is their parents that make them believers of other religions though they may appear perfect, but then so do animals appear perfect.}
33:6426 - A person said: Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion if a child dies before adolescence? He (Muhammad) said: It is Allah alone who knows what they would be doing. {Muhammad obviously had no clue about the afterlife other than threatening those who did not believe him with hell-fire or promising those who fought for him, virgins and opulence in paradise. In another hadith though, SB 54:477, Muhammad claimed that his deceased 18 month old son, Ibrahim, had a wet nurse in paradise.}
33:6429 - Allah's Messenger said: The mother of every person gives him birth according to his true nature (Islam). It is subsequently his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist. Had his parents been Muslim he would have also remained a Muslim. When his mother gives birth Satan strikes him.
33:6436 - Allah's Messenger said: God created for Paradise those who are fit for it while they were yet in their father's loins and created for Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they were yet in their father's loins.
34:6443 - Allah's Messenger said: Verily, the peoples before you were ruined because of their disputation in the Book. {Muhammad advises not to dispute the Qur’an else the people would be ruined as the peoples before them.}
34:6448 - Allah's Messenger said: You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you, the Jews and Christians, inch by inch so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also.
34:6462 - Allah's Messenger said: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars.
35:6475 - Allah's Messenger said: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise. Allah is odd and He loves odd number.
35:6572 - Allah's Messenger said: There is no god but Allah, the one who conferred upon his armies the honour of victory and helped his servant defeat the clans; there is nothing after that.
35:6581 - Allah's Messenger said: When you listen to the crowing of the cock, ask Allah for His favour as it sees Angels and when you listen to the braying of the donkey, seek refuge in Allah from the Satan for it sees Satan.
36:6604 - Allah's Messenger said: I have not left after me turmoil for the people except the harm done to men by women. {Muhammad claims to have solved all the problems of the believers except those caused by women}.
36:6596 - Allah's Messenger said: The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and the majority amongst them who entered there was that of women.
36:6600 - Allah's Messenger said: Amongst the inmates of Paradise the women would form a minority.
36:6597 - Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger said: I had a chance to look into the Paradise and I found that majority of the people was poor and I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women.
SB 4:421 - The Prophet asked me at sunset, “Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?” I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “It goes till it prostrates itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: “And the sun runs its fixed course for a term that is The Decree of Allah.”
SB 4:496 - Allah's Apostle said, “Satan comes to one of you and says, 'Who created so-and-so? 'till he says, 'Who has created your Lord? ' So, when he inspires such a question, one should seek refuge with Allah and give up such thoughts.”
SB 4:503 - The Prophet said, “If anyone of you, on being with his wife, says: 'O Allah! Protect me from Satan, and prevent Satan from approaching the offspring you are going to give me, 'and if it happens that the lady conceives a child, Satan will neither harm it nor be given power over it.”
SB 4:506 - The Prophet said, “When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead.”
SB 4:509 - The Prophet said, “Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan will laugh at him.”
SB 4:513 - The Prophet said, “A good dream is from Allah, and a bad or evil dream is from Satan; so if anyone of you has a bad dream of which he gets afraid, he should spit on his left side and should seek Refuge with Allah from its evil, for then it will not harm him.”
SB 4:516 - The Prophet said, 'If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because the Devil has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.'
SB 4:522 - The Prophet said, “When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek Refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen Satan.”
SB 4:537 - The Prophet said 'If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it back in the drink, for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.'
SB 7:366 - The Prophet said, 'When you eat, do not wipe your hands till you have licked it, or had it licked by somebody else.'
SB 7:389 - The Prophet said, 'Whoever keeps a pet dog will get a daily deduction of two Qirat from his good deeds.'
SB 59:709 - When Allah's Apostle was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, “Such people as ruled by a woman will never be successful.”
SB 82:802 - Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud: I said, “O Allah's Apostle! Which is the biggest sin?” He said, “To worship gods other than Allah who has created you.” I asked, “What is next?” He said, “To kill your child lest it should share your food.” I asked, “What is next?” He said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbour.” {Apparently worshipping a god other than Allah is worse a sin than killing your child.}
