About

*One of the giants amongst the ulama, Shaikh Zia-Ur-Rahman Azami*

In 1400 years no one compiled all the Sahih narrations into a single book, the shaikh did this over the span of 15 years and used over 200 books to compile a book spanning 20 volumes with no repeating Hadith, all of which were Sahih. How many Hadith has he compiled? Over 16,000.

Now you can hold the Quran in one hand and say this is the Word of Allah and hold Shaikhs compilation in another hand and say this is the word of Rasool Allah. While he can't have captured 100% of Sahih Hadith in existence, he did get 99% of them.

All this while being born a Hindu and converting to Islam in adult life. He has put us all to shame <3

*He was an Indian Brahman Hindu. He converted to Islam when he was 18 and his name used to be Banke Laal. He started learning the religion and his passion lead him to study at Madinah University and to become Dean of Faculty of Hadith at Islamic University of Madinah.*

After retirement he he was appointed as a teacher at the Prophet’s Mosque.

In recognition of his original contribution to the Science of Hadith, he was granted Citizenship of Saudi Arabia.

He's authored many books but the one which stands out is ”al-Jami’ al-Kamil fi al-Hadith al-Sahih al-Shamil” which I mentioned in the status.

*EDIT: The shaikh has died on the day of Arafat 1441. Updated 30/7/2020*

The 40 Acts of Paradise:

* Abdallah Bin ‘Amr Bin ‘Āsؓ said that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “There are forty acts, the best of which is giving food, if any are done seeking their reward and believing in their promise, Allah will grant them Paradise by this act.” (Bukhari).

Feeding and watering animals 4. Visiting the sick 5. Befriending and visiting someone only for the sake of God 6. Belief in God and the Final Hour 7. Giving when you have little 8.

Responding to an invitation 14. Following a funeral procession 15. Beginning a salam greeting 16. Giving sound advice 17. Removing harm from the mosque 18. Smi...

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

We need to go back to these core teachings and examples of Islam and similarly strive for achieving an ethical and moral society, wherever we live:

- Assalamualaikum, For those who can drop their 21st century cultural baggage and read this sermon in its own historical context, one can’t help but admire it as one of the earliest declarations of human rights in written history. Almost everything Muhammad SAWS says in this prophetic sermon was almost unheard of and inconceivable prior to the arrival of Islam. The Prophet of Islam addresses some of the core universal values in a society where those values are long forgotten and violated in a systemic basis. The Prophet didn’t only say but transformed his society, in a very short period of time, remarkably in all the values and lessons that he talks about. In this sermon of Muhammad SAWS, Muslims find their deep commitment to the universal human values such as sacredness of life and property, equality, justice, peace and more. Upon these high universal values, the religion of Islam was built. We still have so much to learn from this 1,440-plus-year-old cry and we are so much...

Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves:

A pattern and rule for the house. Dr Abdul Kareem Bakkaar from Syria famous for his sayings, an author of more than 40 books, who taught in most of the universities in Saudi Arabia. He mentions: Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves and make the children responsible for their own good character. It will be good if parents make some light rules in the house so that the children can understand the importance of fulfilling responsibilities and good character can become part of their lives. Parents should take what is relavent for them and if they so wish, change and add some points. 1. Every person in the house should perform Salaah on it’s correct time. 2.

An annual conference for education development (18th Conference):

* 18th Annual Millat Conference (by MFERD)* #* Perform to Potential*# - Building Holistic Education Systems Dear Brother/Sister, Assalamu Alaikum All praise is to the Almighty Lord who created us and bestowed upon us the title of ‘Khalifa’, His vicegerent on earth. This implies that every individual has the ‘potential’ to perform the duties of the Almighty’s vicegerent. Unfortunately, due to several internal and external hindrances, man doesn’t live up to his potential. Similar is the case of our institutions. In the present world scenario, firmly anchoring and strengthening our educational institutions is of prime importance. It is probably the only way to create a collectively contributing ummah, that can positively influence the future of societies and countries. A handful of schools providing holistic education can significantly change the outlook of an entire city. Such is the potential of educational institutions. But the challenge lies in developing systems and practices (a...
