His ﷺ Hadiths are the Light

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “May whoever says what I didn’t say be cursed by Allah ﷻ”. After the Qur’an, the words of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam show us the way, the way of Islam and what we should do.

There are Muhaddiths, may Allah ﷻ be pleased with them. They collected the Hadiths. They collected the Hadiths and the holy words of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam very accurately and made books of them. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with them.

The knowledge of Hadith is a great knowledge, because not everyone can understand only from the Qur’an. There must be an interpretation of Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. And the explanation of the interpretation comes from the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, by attaining virtues from them.

The rulings of Islam, rulings of worship and all kinds of things, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has completed it in a perfect condition. People who follow it reach happiness. And who goes by the ruling and words of others will never be in comfort and will never have peace. They always change it. They will always change it. While they are saying, “It is so now, we should make it different later”, they will turn it into a useless thing.

Therefore, the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is for Muslims. They should follow it and perform it as much as they can. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is Merciful no matter how much we do. But it is wrong to deny it. If you deny it, you will go against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who goes against Allah ﷻ will never succeed. If the whole world, not only the whole world but if the whole universe goes against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, it has no ruling. Only the ruling of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla applies. Whatever they do is nonsense, worthless and of no importance.

Therefore, the Hadiths of our Holy Prophet ﷺ are the Nur/light. They are a great virtue to those who read them and to those who teach its knowledge. Their ranks are high in the sight of Allah ﷻ. People who did it did so for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. They did so as service to Islam. All of that has happened by the will of Allah ﷻ, otherwise this knowledge would not have appeared. Allah ﷻ has given it to great scholars and great Imams to preserve the religion, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. He ﷻ has given it to them. But we will always receive their virtues. People who follow the way of those people, who follow the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ are certainly in profit. That is the profit. The profit of this world is until the grave, but that one is forever.

May Allah ﷻ make us successful in attaining our share from that knowledge. We are Talib Ilim, Seekers of Knowledge insha’Allah. We are students of knowledge until the grave, because it is Fard for Muslims to demand knowledge from the cradle until the grave. That is it for us. We are not students of anything else. We are students of knowledge beloved by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We are students of all possible ways that lead to Allah ﷻ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
