Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith by Sajid Mahmood Ansari During the early stages of the revelation of the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took measures to ensure that his words, known as hadith, were not recorded alongside the Qur'an. This decision was made to prevent any potential confusion between the divine scripture, the Qur'an, and the sayings or actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The primary reason for this distinction was to safeguard the Qur'an's unique status as the direct word of God, as Muslims believe it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel. The Qur'an is considered the ultimate and unalterable source of guidance for Muslims, containing the teachings, principles, and laws that form the foundation of the Islamic faith and practice. Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri that the Messenger of All

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Ashab al-Kahf: The Seven Sleeping Saints Author: Sajid Mahmood Ansari The Holy Qur’an, in 18 th Surah Al-Kahf, narrates the story of a few young believers, who fled from a tyrant polytheist king, hid inside a cave, and kept sleeping there for a number of years. After sleeping for centuries, they woke up and came to know that  they slept for three centuries. Qur’anic Narrative: The Holy Qur’an narrates the story as follows: “ Don’t you think that the people of the Cave and the Raqeem were one of Our wondrous signs? When those youths sought refuge in the Cave and said: "Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and provide for us rectitude in our affairs." We lulled them to sleep in that cave for a number of years and then roused them so that We might see which of the two parties could best tell the length of their stay. We narrate to you their true story. They were a party of young men who had faith in

Authenticity of Sahih al-Bukhari

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Here is a brief introduction to the most authentic Hadith book, titled Sahih al-Bukhari. The era in which Imam Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari, may God bless him and grant him peace, opened his eyes was a period full of temptations for the Muslim Ummah. Some groups fascinated by Greek thought and philosophy were busy attacking certain Muslim beliefs and ideas of Islam. On the other hand, the enemies of Islam were engaged in fabricating narrations from their masters to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) due to the high status of the tradition of interpretation of the Qur'an (Ilm-e-Hadith) in the Muslim Ummah. The traditions passed down were related to the beliefs, principles and branches of religion. This is the period when the above-mentioned groups either completely denied the authenticity of hadith by using the hadith as an argument, or deviated from recognizing the authority of the strong and reliable traditions of the Ummah

Daleel at-Talib: An Introduction


Daleel at-Talib: An Introduction

The Hanbali school of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) is one of the four major schools of Sunni Islam. It originated in the city of Baghdad in the 9th century CE and was founded by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him), who is considered one of the most important scholars of Sunni Islam. The Hanbali school is known for its strict adherence  to the Quran and the hadith, the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Here are some of its salient features:

Comprehensive Coverage:

"Daleel at-Talib" is a comprehensive work on Hanbali fiqh that covers a wide range of topics, including ritual purity, prayer, fasting, zakat, pilgrimage, marriage, and inheritance. It is considered one of the most complete works on Hanbali fiqh and is widely studied by students of Islamic law.

Hanbali Perspective:

As a work of Hanbali fiqh, "Daleel at-Talib" is written from the perspective of the Hanbali school of thought. It presents the Mu’atamad opinions of Hanbali scholars on various fiqh issues.

Clarity of Expression:

Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Karmi al-Hanbali was known for his clear and concise writing style, and "Daleel al-Talib" reflects this. The work is organized in a logical manner and presents fiqh issues in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Over the centuries, "Daleel at-Talib" has been the subject of numerous commentaries and annotations by Hanbali scholars. These commentaries provide additional insights and explanations of the text and help to clarify some of its more difficult or ambiguous points. Today, "Daleel at-Talib" remains an important text for students of Hanbali fiqh and is widely studied in traditional Islamic seminaries (madrasas) around the world.

Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf ibn Abi Bakr al-Karmi al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) was born in the month of Rabīʿ I in the year 988 AH (corresponding to April/May 1580 CE) in the town of Ṭūr Karm (Tul Karm), Palestine (Jerusalem). He grew up in a scholarly family and received his early education in his hometown. He studied Hanbali Fiqh with famous Hanbali scholar Imam Musa ibn Ahmad al-Hijjawi (may Allah have mercy on him).

Jerusalem has been an important center of Islamic knowledge and traditions for centuries. The city has been the site of many important religious events and was the first Qibla for Muslims before the direction of prayer was changed to the Kaaba in Makkah.

Jerusalem has long been a center of Islamic knowledge and traditions, and it played an important role in the development of Hanbali scholarship during the 16th and 17th century CE.

During this time period, Jerusalem was home to a number of prominent Hanbali scholars, including Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Karmi al-Hanbali, who was born in the nearby town of Ṭūr Karm. These scholars contributed significantly to the development and dissemination of Hanbali fiqh, and their works continue to be studied and referenced by scholars today.

Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Karmi al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) was known for his extensive knowledge of Hanbali fiqh and hadith. He studied under several prominent Hanbali scholars of his time and became a renowned jurist in his own right. He authored several important works on Hanbali fiqh, including "Daleel at-Talib,"and  "Ghayah al-Muntaha,". Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Karmi al-Hanbali traveled to different cities to study and teach, including Jerusalem, Damascus, and Cairo. He was a respected teacher of Hanbali fiqh and hadith and had many students who went on to become prominent scholars in their own right.

Imam Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Karmi al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away in the year 1033 AH (1623-1624 CE) in Cairo, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. His works on Hanbali fiqh continue to be studied and are considered important references for students of Islamic law.
